13 But God never said to any of the angels, "Sit in the highest position in heaven until I make your enemies your footstool."

Hebrews 1:13 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 1:13

But to which of the angels said he at any time
That is, he never said to any of them in his council, or covenant; he never designed to give them any such honour, as hereafter expressed; he never promised it to them, or bestowed it on them; he never called up any of them to so high a place, or to such a dignity:

sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool;
yet this he said to his Son, ( Psalms 110:1 ) for to him, the Messiah, are they spoken, and have had their fulfilment in him: (See Gill on Matthew 22:44); and therefore he must be greater than the angels.

Hebrews 1:13 In-Context

11 They will come to an end, but you will live forever. They will all wear out like clothes.
12 They will be taken off like a coat. You will change them like clothes. But you remain the same, and your life will never end.
13 But God never said to any of the angels, "Sit in the highest position in heaven until I make your enemies your footstool."
14 What are all the angels? They are spirits sent to serve those who are going to receive salvation.
