"Of old You laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
They will perish, but You will remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
but You are the same, and Your years have no end.
The children of Your servants shall dwell secure;
their offspring shall be established before You."
- Psalm 102:25-28
These verses describe God as the creator of the physical universe. Yet that universe, under the curse of the Fall, is shriveling under the assault of entropy. Even as we see that, however, we have the assurance that God is subject to no entropy, but remains in His divine power and glory forever.
But there is something else interesting about these verses. In Hebrews 1:10-12, they are explicitly referred to the Son, i. e., Jesus. It is He who is our unchanging divine Creator. This is not to deny the respective roles of the Father and the Holy Spirit; they are simply not the focus here.
It is the Son who is given all of the attributes of full deity, and, as such, the basis for the salvation and eternal security of His church.
