Because those days are going to bring trouble like nothing the world has ever seen since God first created everything — and nothing like it will ever happen again.

But now, in these final days, he's speaking to us through his Son — the one he's made heir to literally everything, and the same one who created all the worlds in the first place.

You made humans just a step below the angels, then crowned us with glory and honor, and put us in charge of everything you created.
