The Message

Hebrews 1:7-14 The Message (MSG)

7. Regarding angels he says,The messengers are winds,the servants are tongues of fire.

8-9. But he says to the Son,You’re God, and on the throne for good;your rule makes everything right.You love it when things are right;you hate it when things are wrong.That is why God, your God,poured fragrant oil on your head,Marking you out as king,far above your dear companions.

10-12. And again to the Son,You, Master, started it all, laid earth’s foundations,then crafted the stars in the sky.Earth and sky will wear out, but not you;they become threadbare like an old coat;You’ll fold them up like a worn-out cloak,and lay them away on the shelf.But you’ll stay the same, year after year;you’ll never fade, you’ll never wear out.

13. And did he ever say anything like this to an angel?Sit alongside me here on my throneUntil I make your enemies a stool for your feet.

14. Isn’t it obvious that all angels are sent to help out with those lined up to receive salvation?
