A frequent misinterpretation attributes this verse solely to God the Father, ignoring the Hebrews 1 context where it directly exalts the Son as 'Thou, Lord' and Creator, thus undermining Christ's deity and preexistence. Another error isolates it to fuel modern scientific debates on creation's origins, neglecting its Christological purpose of proving the Son's superiority to angels and His enduring nature contrasted with the heavens and earth that will wear out like a garment.
Hebrews 1:10
King James Version (1769)
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
Hebrews 1:10 quotes Psalm 102:25 and applies it to the Son, Jesus Christ, whom God addresses as 'Thou, Lord,' affirming His divine role as Creator who laid the foundation of the earth and fashioned the heavens as works of His hands. This highlights the Son's eternal preexistence, immutability, and supremacy over all creation, distinguishing Him from transient angels and establishing His full deity within the Godhead as the unchanging One amid a perishing universe.
