God's Full And Final Revelation In The Son

2 has at the end of these days spoken to us through a Son, who is the pre-destined Lord of the universe, and through whom He made the Ages. 3 He brightly reflects God's glory and is the exact representation of His being, and upholds the universe by His all-powerful word. After securing man's purification from sin He took His seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as far superior to the angels as the Name He possesses by inheritance is more excellent than theirs.
