The Book of Hebrews, whose author is unknown, was apparently written for a mainly Jewish audience to show how superior Jesus Christ is to everything: angels, Moses, and Old Testament priests and sacrifices. Jesus is pointed to as the definitive revelation of God to humanity ushering in the new definitive covenant.
In Hebrews 1 the author says how God spoke through different channels in the past "but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son... through whom he made the universe... and he is now sat at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven... and he is much superior to the angels... so let all God's angels worship him... for the heavens are the work of your hands... they will perish but you remain... you remain the same, and your years will never end... so are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?"
