through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by
his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son
is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his
powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty
in heaven. 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to
theirs."
, Phil. 2:9-11 "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father."
Colossians 1:16-17 "16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and

the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glo-
ry, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes
from the Lord, who is the Spirit."
Matt 12:31-32 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the

anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
