Hebrews 1:5 Which of the angels did He ever say: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You”?
Did God ever say this to an angel, No!
The above verse is how Trinitarians quote and interpret Hebrews 1:5, but they are misleading you when they quote it and interpret it that way. They are trying to make you believe that God never said to an angel, “You are My Son, today I have begotten You” so the Son can’t be the prehuman Michael the Archangel because God never said that to an angel. But when you read the verse in its context you will find that’s not what Hebrews 1:5 is completely saying.
Let’s first read the verse the way it reads in the Bible.
Hebrew 1:5 For to which of the angels did He ever say: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You”? And again: “I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son”?
Notice the first three words, “For to which”. These three words are making a statement relating to what was just said. What it’s responding to is the fact that Yahshua, THROUGH INHERITENCE receive a better name than the angels. This is very important to see because what God is doing, through Hebrews 1:5, is clearing up any complaints from the heavenly host as to why Yahshua gets to have such an exalted position to where the other angels need to bow down to Him. It’s almost like they are saying, “Didn’t Satan do the same thing?” The difference is that Michael became the human Yahshua in order to taste death for everyone, but then God raised Him from the dead because He accomplished what that Father gave Him to do, which was to manifest His Name and remain sinless even unto death.
Hebrews 1:3-5 Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For to which of the angels did He ever say: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You”?
The last half of Hebrews 1:3-5 is talking about the Father raising the Son from the dead after He completed the Father’s will, which is where the Son inherited a more excellent name than the other angels. It’s also when the Father commands the other angels to worship Him.
Acts 13:33 God has fulfilled this for us, their children, by raising up Jesus from the dead, as it is written in the second Psalm: You are My Son; today I have become your Father.
Psalms 2:7 The king proclaims the LORD’s decree: “The LORD said to me, ‘You are My son. Today I have become your Father.
This is all happening because the Father raised Yahshua from the dead to receive His inheritance. Let’s continue to verse seven.
Hebrews 1:5-7 For to which of the angels did He ever say: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You”? And again: “I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son”? But when He again brings the first born into the world, He says: “Let all the angels of God worship Him.”
Notice the word, “Again” in the above verse. The word “Again” is referring to the Son’s resurrection, which is when He is seated at the right hand of God, and all the other angels are made to worship Him.
1 Peter 3:22 And now Christ is in heaven, sitting in the place of honor next to God the Father, with all the angels and powers of heaven bowing before him and obeying him.
Hebrews 1:5 is telling us the reason why the human Son Yahshua received a more excellent name than His sibling angels is because what God did through Michael, in becoming the human Yahshua, He never did to any other angel.
Hebrews 1:3-7 Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For to which of the angels did He ever say: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You”? But when He again brings the first born into the world, He says: “Let all the angels of God worship Him.”
Yahshua’s first-born, over-all creation, status came as a result of His resurrection from the dead making Him the first born from the dead, which is the beginning of God’s new creation, not the Genesis creation. This is not about His birth through Mary or some pre-Genesis birth.
Colossians 1:18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the first born from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
Revelation 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood.
Yahshua’s resurrection from the dead, never to die again, makes Him the first born from the dead, and the beginning of God’s new creation.
Revelation 3:14 “Write this letter to the angel of the church in Laodicea. This is the message from the One Who is the Amen—the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s new creation.
Michael, in His prehuman form was a Morning Star, which is an angel and in His human form He became the root and offspring of king David.
Revelation 22:16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
None of this is happening before the Genesis creation, other than in the mind of God as His foreordained plan.
Matthew 25:34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
Amen…
