Dr. Newton opens his apologetic to his beloved Hebrew nation by examining the first 4 of his 40 citations from the Torah, Psalms, and prophets as he takes up his first position: that Jesus from Nazareth is superior to angels. This is the first of Paul's positions, as he will also demonstrate that Jesus is higher [more important] than: 2] Moses and 3] the Hebrews' priestly system of Levites and the Temple sacrifices and rituals. These are the three most important facets that matter to a Jewish believer in the 1st Century AD. They revere angels as the highest of God's created beings. They boast that they alone have "The Prophet" Moses who brought them the Law. And, they were given the elaborate Temple with its altars, tables, lamps, instruments, veil, Ark of the Covenant, and all the priestly rituals of sacrifices for direct communion the one true God - something no other nation has. So Paul is going to show them from their own Hebrew Scriptures that Jesus is above ALL of these. Dr. Newton carefully explains that to start off regarding angels, Paul cites the Psalms 3 times alongside the prophet Samuel to make the case that Jesus is far superior to God's ministering messengers - including a direct quote from the Greek Septuagint [LXX] Scripture.
