Christ’s Superiority to Angels

HEBREWS 1:4–14

What are angels? What does God’s Word tell us?

Revelation 5:11 Numbers 22:312 Kings 6:17 Genesis 18:2; 19:1, 2; Mark 16:5 Matthew 28:3; Luke 2:9

 

Regarding angels’ specific function, there are at least four:

1) Angels continuously worship and praise the God they serve.

Job 38:7; Psalm 103:20; Isaiah 6:1–3; Revelation 4:8; 5:9–12

 

2) Angels communicate God’s message to man.

Acts 7:38, 53 Daniel 10:10–15; Revelation 17:1; 21:9; 22:16 Matthew 1:19–24; Luke 1:11–28; 2:9–12

 

3) Angels minister to believers.

Psalm 34:7 Psalm 91:11, 12 Acts 5:19; 12:6–11 Luke 15:10 1 Corinthians 11:10 Luke 16:22

 

4) Angels will be God’s agents in the final earthly judgments and Second Coming.

Matthew 24:31; 1 Thessalonians 4:16, Matthew 13:39–42 Revelation 19:17–20:3, 10
