“For to which of the angels did God ever say, ‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you’? Or again, ‘I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son’?'” (Hebrews 1:5 ESV).
Hebrews 1:5 draws upon two Old Testament passages to support the conclusion that Jesus is greater than any angelic being. We find the first in Psalm 2:7, a passage that refers to the Lord and His Anointed (2:2). God also issued the following invitation to His Son within that Psalm: “Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession” (Psalm 2:8).
John the Baptist acknowledged Jesus’ fulfillment of that Messianic promise when he said, “The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand” (John 3:35). Jesus issued a similar affirmation in other portions of Scripture such as Matthew 11:27, John 13:3, and John 16:15.
The second reference appears in 1 Chronicles 17:13. That verse chronicles God’s response to Israel’s King David and his desire to build a dwelling place for God. Although God looked favorably upon David’s ambition, He responded to David in a way he didn’t expect…
“And it shall be, when your days are fulfilled, when you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever. I will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it from him who was before you. And I will establish him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever” (1 Chronicles 17:11-14).
One source identifies the connection between these Old and New Testament passages in the context of Hebrews 1:5…
“God’s plan was that David’s son would build Him a house, and He revealed this to David (vv. 11-15). However, these words look beyond Solomon to One who would not fail to fulfill all God’s purposes as David’s descendant.
‘This verse [13] along with Psalms 2:7, 12, is one of the major OT revelations on the deity of the Messiah. It foretells Jesus’ being uniquely God’s son (Heb. 1:5; cf. Acts 13:33; Heb. 5:5), for it is not really applicable to Solomon (cf. comment on 22:10) or to any other of David’s more immediate successors.'” [a] (1)
