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 be destroyed, but you will remain. They will all wear out like clothes.

12 You will fold them like a coat. And, like clothes, you will change them. But you never change, and your life will never end."

13 And God never said this to an angel: "Sit by me at my right side until I put your enemies under your control."

14 All the angels are spirits who serve God and are sent to help those who will receive salvation.
