"Yes, the prophets were necessary and important; but there is One Who is more infinitely superior to the prophets…"
Hebrews chapter 1:2
…The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In these first two verses of Hebrews, the writer sets the tone for the entire book: the Superiority and Pre-Eminence of Jesus. The author of Hebrews backs up his claims about Jesus with some OT quotes a little further down in the chapter.
Christ dominates the book of Hebrews from start to finish. God has now spoken to us through His very own Son, and He continues to speak to us through His Word, with the understanding that only the Holy Spirit of Christ can give. The New Covenant is so much better than the Old one!
(Parallel verses: “…by Him were all things created that are in Heaven and on earth, visible and invisible…He is before all things, and by Him all things consist…in all things He has pre-eminence…for it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell…”, see Colossians 1:15-19.)
