'Lower' in the Bible

(Now this expression, “He ascended,” what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth?

“You have made him for a little while lower than the angels;You have crowned him with glory and honor,And have appointed him over the works of Your hands;

But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.
