Hebrews 1:2

1 On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets.

But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.

3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

4 So He became as far superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is excellent beyond theirs.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
