Hebrews 1:8

 1 Corinthians 15. It expands on the subject matter of Hebrews 1:8. Paul writes about how at some stage (for us today it is very soon) the Christ will be put in the very top spot, on the highest throne. The throne we can call not just the King throne, but the God throne. He will be on his Father’s throne. All will for a limited time be subject to him, but that does not, Paul writes, include God Himself being subject to him. No God Himself will not be subject to the Christ. This is the time foretold in the prophecy quoted in Hebrews 1:8. The Christ will have power of God, but the actual God will still exist and will, He alone, NOT be subject to the Christ. Paul proves by this that he regards the Father as the one he identifies as God (proper noun). He makes it clear that after the temporary time the Christ will become subject to God (proper noun, the Father). The Christ is NOT this God (proper noun, identity, the Father). This proper noun identity God is the Father and the One True God, permanently forever. The Christ is not this God.
