Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Ministering spirits - Hebrews 1:7, "spirits, and his ministers" Incorporeal spirits, as God, but ministering to Him as inferiors.
Sent forth, х apostellomena (G649)] - 'being sent forth' continually, as their regular service in all ages.
To minister, х eis (G1519) diakonian (G1248)] - 'unto (i:e., for) ministry.'
For them, х dia (G1223) tous (G3588)] - 'for the sake of them,' etc. Angels are sent forth on ministrations to God and Christ, not primarily to men, though for the good of 'those who are about to inherit salvation' х mellontas (G3195) kleeronomein (G2816) sooteerian (G4991)]: the elect, for whom all things, angels included, work together for good (Romans 8:28). Angels' ministrations are not properly to men, since the latter cannot command them, though their ministrations to God are often for the good of men. So the superiority of the Son of God to angels is shown. They "all," however various their ranks, minister; He is ministered to. They "stand" (Luke 1:19) before God, or are "sent forth" to execute His commands on behalf of them whom He pleases to save; He sits "on the right hand of the Majesty on high" (Hebrews 1:3; Hebrews 1:13). He rules; they serve.
