Pastor Ralph, Not only is the Son of God Heir of all things but he is also Co- Creator giving him the authority to create and uphold all his creation,he is the complete reflection of the Father and through him all things were made.In the beginning was the Word and it was through the power of the spoken Word that creation came into being and is sustained. Jesus became the perfecr sacrifice ,paying the penalty for our Sin so that our relationship could be restored to the Father as it was before the fall. Today He intercedes on our behalf to the Father,and is our High Priest becoming the Sacrifice on our behalf.Where would we be without Him.

I believe that the author of Hebrews is using the word Son in two ways.in the Divine sense of the Father and Son as being one and part of the Trinity but also in a relational sense reflecting the human understandingof Father and son . Prophets still have a role today in communicating the will of God to his people,but Jesus as the Son of God is the ultimate Authority.
