God's day Grace, A quote from Keil and Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament may help. "It may with equal right at least be interpreted: Who makes His messengers out of the winds,His servants out of the flaming or consuming fire. And this may affrim either that God makes use of wind and fire for special missions, or that He gives wind and fire to His angels for the purpose of His operations in the world which are effected through their agency, as the materials of their outward manifestation, and as it were of their self-embodiment," In HIS Hand, Brian |

3 | Heb 1:7 licentious use of Ps 104:4? | Ps 104:4 | gdh1127 | 179794 | ||
hello brian! that is exactly how i understand ps 104:4. that is where the trouble lies because in heb 1:7 it is made to mean that god made his angels "just" spirits unlike our lord that he begot and calls his son. heb 1:7 is supposed to be a quote of ps 104:4. if the commentary's reading of ps 104:4 is correct, then the writer of hebrews is claiming a license to change its meaning to suit his treatise on angels vs christ. i know this is not so and that there is a logical explanation to this. so, would you know? take care, grace |

4 | Heb 1:7 licentious use of Ps 104:4? | Ps 104:4 | kalos | 179799 | ||
The logical explanation is that the NT writers, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, often modified an OT quote in order to communicate what God intended for them to communicate. Obviously if one believes in the inspiration of ALL Scripture, then there is no such thing as a NT human author writing anything in the Bible that the Divine Author did not authorize. Grace to you, John |

Good Evening Grace, The apostle is showing that the angels serve God in a ministerial capacity. They obey His Will as the winds and the lightings do. Rank and office of spirit, while the Son is Lord of all. The quotation is made from Ps. 104:4. Barnes Notes: "The passage "might" be translated, "Who maketh His angels winds, and His ministers a flame of fire; "that is "who makes His angels like the winds,or as swift as the winds, and His ministers as rapid, as terrible, and as resistless as the lighting." The use of Ps. 104:4 is to show the Son's position greater than angels. The apostle is addressing a group of people that would know the psalm very well. The wind (spirits) like nature of the cherubin, the burning( flame of fire ) devotion of the seraphin,outward manifestations of angelic servants. 1 John 1:9 and 1 John 1:7B, Brian |
