Hebrews 1:8-9 But unto the Son he said, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou had loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, had anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 

‘Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever …’ This is the 4th Old Testament prophecy in Hebrews (1:8-9; Ps. 45:6-7) and it is unfulfilled.

‘Sceptre’ – A rod or staff and a symbol of power and government (Ps. 2:9; Rev. 2:27).

‘Thou had loved righteousness, and hated iniquity.’ This is characteristic of a just ruler.

‘God, even thy God, had anointed thee.’ This is spoken of the Son by the prophet. How could the Son have a God who would anoint Him if He Himself were the only God? This clearly proves two separate Persons, both called God (1:8-9).

‘Above thy fellows’ – Threefold office of Christ – No man was ever anointed as prophet, priest, and king before Christ or thereafter. Some were anointed kings, some prophets, and some priests, but in Christ, all these offices are combined. He is Prophet to all mankind (Matt. 5:3-12, 17-20; 7:21-23; 8:11-12; 10:15, 17-23, 25-26, 41-42; 11:20-24; 12:36-37, 39-42, 45; 13:24-33, 35, 39-50; 15:13; 16:18, 21, 27-28; 17:22-23; 18:7, 35; 19:28-30; 20:18-19, 23; 21:2-3, 31; 22:30; 23:34-39; 24:2,4-25:46; 26:12-13, 18, 24-32, 34, 45-46, 64; 27:63; John 1:50-51; 2:19; 4:21, 50; 5:20, 28-30, 43; 6:35-40, 44-45, 62; 7:37-39; 8:21; 10:14-18; 12:31-32; 13:21, 26, 28-30; 15:18-21, 26-27; 16:1-16, 19-28, 32-33; 20:1721:18; Acts 1:4-8; Rev. 1:1-22:21), High Priest to the whole race (3:1; 4:14-16; 5:6; 6:20; 7:11-17), and King of all nations (Dan. 7:13-14; Isa. 9:6-7; Zech. 14:9; Luke 1:32-33; Matt. 25:31-46; Rev. 11:15; 22:4-5).

He is also called “The Creator;” (John 1:3; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:1-3) “Mediator;” (1Tim. 2:4-5; Heb. 8:6) “Head of the Body;” (Eph. 1:22; Col. 1:16-24) “Saviour;” (2Pet. 3:2) “Judge;” (2Tim. 4:1) “Preserver;” (Heb. 1:1-3) “Life-Giver;” (John 10:28; 17:2) “Lord and Christ;” (Acts 2:36) “The Resurrection and the Life” (Jn. 11:25).

Some men tend to call themselves the prophet, priest and king of their household and over their wives and children, but it is against Scripture and blasphemous to put oneself equal to Christ’s offices for which He gave His life for all of mankind. No man can qualify for these roles in someone else’s life and marriage was not made to elevate one sex or role above the other (Eph. 5: 22-32; Gal. 3:28).
