Jesus is the Divine Creator

The author of Hebrews quotes Psalm 102, a passage originally addressed to God as the Creator, and applies it directly to the Son. Commentators unanimously see this as a powerful declaration of Jesus's full divinity. He is not merely an agent of creation but is identified as the eternal Lord who personally laid the foundations of the earth and formed the heavens.
