People's Commentary (NT)
Hebrews 1:7
And of the angels he saith. The quotations made show how God speaks
to and of the Son, but quite different are the words used of the angels.
Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
In the Revised Version we have "winds" instead of "spirits". The Greek
word is "Pneumata", a word which uniformly in the New Testament means
"spirit", and "spirits" in the plural, and I believe that "spirits" is
the better rendering. The passage is quoted from Psalms 104:4, and
means that he maketh spirits his messengers, or angels, and flaming
ones (the burning seraphs) his ministers. It is incongruous with the
thought to introduce into the passage winds and lightnings, natural
phenomena, when the theme is the status of angel intelligences.
