No, wotsup, the above is only how you see it, your mentality, your perception, or the spirit of wotsup, nothing like what the bible is actually saying, again you are showing that you don't understand much of what is said in scripture, or over all you're showing what happens when ignorance of the basic facts of scripture produces, = lack of overall understanding, going allover the place and off the cliff, gets even worse when someone is not open to understanding but elevates his word salads as being the ultimate truth.
I'll give you another one of my sermons, have no choice, as you are completely off and have to set each point in the right context
To start off Deu 18:18, this verse is referring to all the Prophets that comes after Moses, later in the NT it was adopted for Jesus, if you keep reading V20 verifies this "But the prophet, who being corrupted with pride, shall speak in my name things that I did not command him to say, or in the name of strange gods, shall be slain. "
Now for what it's meant when God speaks, the later full explanation of all the points made in Hebrew 1:1-3
Here we go:
When the Bible speaks of God "speaking, "most times if not all, it signifies His desire to reveal Himself to humanity. This revelation is a vital theme throughout Scripture, culminating in the person of Jesus Christ, whose life and teachings provide the clearest insight into God's character and purpose. Understanding this concept deepens one’s appreciation for the relationship between God and humanity, as well as the significance of listening to God's voice in various forms throughout life.
When God speaks, He is interacting with humanity in a way that allows people to know Him more deeply. This communication can take various forms, including direct speech, visions, dreams, signs, and through the lives of prophets.
Throughout the Bible, God's revelation occurs progressively. He first spoke through the prophets in the Old Testament and then culminated that revelation in Jesus Christ, as indicated in Hebrews 1:1-2. Each step reveals more about His character, plan, and relationship with humanity.
Jesus is often referred to as the "Word" (Logos) of God (John 1:1). His life, teachings, and actions reveal the nature of God in a unique and definitive way. As the "exact representation" of God's being (as mentioned in Hebrews 1:3), Jesus embodies and manifests God's attributes and intentions. (= the Trinity)
The ultimate purpose of God speaking and revealing Himself is to invite humanity into a relationship with Him. Revelation serves as a means for people to understand who God is, His love, His righteousness, and how to respond to Him.
God's revelation provides moral and ethical guidance, shows us the right path to follow, and offers hope and assurance.
The Bible is considered the written form of God's revelation, preserving His messages across generations. It communicates God's will, historical acts, and principles for living a life in accordance with His design.
While the complete revelation is found in Christ and Scripture, God continues to communicate with individuals through prayer, the Holy Spirit, and life experiences that align with biblical teachings.
Hebrews 1:1-3, each point explained, exactly how it should be, explained.
Verse 1: "In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways,"
In the past" (or "long ago") This phrase introduces a contrast between the previous methods of communication by God and the new method described in verse 2. It sets a historical context for understanding God's revelation.
God spoke This emphasizes that God is a communicating God. He chooses to reveal Himself and His will to humanity. It underscores the personal relationship between God and His people.
To our ancestors The author addresses a Jewish Christian audience, highlighting the faith heritage that includes the patriarchs and prophets of Israel, implying continuity between God's past revelations and present understanding through Christ.
Through the prophets This refers to the various Old Testament prophets who conveyed God’s messages. These prophets included major figures like Moses, Isaiah, and others who spoke on God’s behalf.
At many times and in various ways This indicates the diversity of God’s revelation—how it came at different times and through various means, such as visions, dreams, law, and prophecy.

Verse 2: "But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe."
But in these last days The phrase "last days" refers to the time from Christ’s first coming to the present (and into the future until His return). It signals a significant shift in how God communicates with humanity.
He has spoken to us by his Son This introduces the central figure of Jesus Christ as God’s ultimate revelation. Unlike previous prophets, Jesus is the Son of God who embodies God's message and character.
Whom he appointed heir of all things This implies that Jesus has authority over all creation. As the heir, He is entitled to all that the Father possesses, emphasizing His divinity and sovereignty.
And through whom also he made the universe This underscores Christ’s role in creation. It highlights that Jesus was active in the creation process, affirming his pre-existence and divine nature.
***
Verse 3 "The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven."
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory This suggests that Jesus reflects God’s glory in a way akin to how light radiates from the sun. It emphasizes the closeness of the relationship between the Father and the Son.
The exact representation of his being The Greek term used here (character) implies that Jesus is the precise imprint or image of God’s nature, affirming His full divinity and humanity. (= Trinity)
Sustaining all things by his powerful word This verse indicates that Jesus does not only create the universe but also actively sustains it. He upholds creation by His authoritative word, emphasizing His ongoing role in the world.(= Trinity)
After he had provided purification for sins This alludes to Christ's sacrificial death, which is central to the Christian faith. Through His atonement, He provides a means for humanity's reconciliation with God. (which was on Christ mind in John 17:3, and definitely when this nature as per this verse was within Christ when he uttered v3 )
He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven This expression signifies Christ’s exaltation and authority. Sitting at the right hand of God implies a position of power and honor, confirming His role in heaven as the mediator and intercessor.
In conclusion of these 3 verses its very obvious
Hebrews 1:1-3 sets the tone for the entire book of Hebrews, emphasizing that Christ is superior to the prophets, angels, and all aspects of the Old Covenant.
The passage highlights the fullness of God’s revelation in Christ, suggesting that while God has communicated in many ways throughout history, the ultimate revelation comes through His Son.
It establishes the vital theological concepts of Jesus as both the Creator and the one who redeems humanity, thus forming the foundation for understanding His nature and mission.
Hebrews 1:1-3 presents a profound Christological view, emphasizing the significance of Jesus as God's ultimate revelation, His divine authority, and His work in sustaining and redeeming creation.
