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 pass away. But you remain. They will all wear out like a piece of clothing.
12 You will roll them up like a robe. They will be changed as a person changes clothes. But you remain the same. Your years will never end." (Psalm 102:25-27)
13 God never said to an angel, "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your control." (Psalm 110:1)
14 All angels are spirits who serve. God sends them to serve those who will receive salvation.
