Verse Takeaways

Worship Proves Divinity
The most crucial point of this verse is the divine command: "Let all the angels of God worship him." Commentators stress that worship is reserved for God alone. By commanding angels—the highest created beings—to worship the Son, the Father declares the Son's divine nature and absolute superiority. Christ is not a super-angel; He is the object of angelic worship, establishing Him as God.
