When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”

EXPLANATION

Verse 6. Let all the Angels of God adore him. These words seem to be cited out of Psalms 96:7 according to the Septuagint And they seem to be an invitation, and a command to the Angels to adore Jesus Christ, when at the end of the world he shall come to judgment. This is one of the proofs which Saint Paul here brings, to shew that the Angels are inferior to Christ, because they are commanded to adore him. Witham.—God shews the superiority of his divine Son over the Angels, in ordering the latter to adore him. Wherever the person of Christ is, there it ought to be adored by both men and Angels, therefore in the blessed sacrament.
