All angels are equal in God's image they possess.
There is the second born spirit being created by YHWH through the first born spirit being.Is he the exact representation of the first born spirit being?
If so, he is also the exact representation of the source of every thing, YHWH.
Clo 1:15
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
Heb 1:3
3 He is the reflection of [his] glory and the exact representation of his very being,
All YHWH's creation is perfect lacking nothing.
Contemplate on what it means.
Do you think the quality of YHWH's creation will be degraded as generation goes by?
I don't think so.
Ps 18:30
30 As for the [true] God, perfect is his way;
Ecc 3:14
14 I have come to know that everything that the [true] God makes, it will prove to be to time indefinite. To it there is nothing to add and from it there is nothing to subtract; but the [true] God himself has made it,
All sons of God are created according to God's exact image.
The only one who can degrade the image of God is the one who owns the image.
YHWH is not responsible for His son's sin, the one's misuse of free will.
It is you who reap what you sow.
If we are created by the image of YHWH, we are exactly as such in a sense.
There is no difference in moral and free will among all sons of YHWH ranging from first born son which is spirit to the last born son which is flesh.
Otherwise, the first born son couldn't be used to prove perfect obedience for all sons of YHWH.
Ro 5:18-19
18 . . . through one act of justification the result to men of all sorts is a declaring of them righteous for life.
19 . . . through the obedience of the one [person] many will be constituted righteous.
Spirit is one kind, flesh is the another kind.
All sons of YHWH are created according to YHWH's image.
God himself is spirit, and there are millions of millions spirit sons in heaven from the first born spirit, the second the third, . . . to the final born spirit.
They are all equal in God's image that they possess that is free will, justice, love, loyalty, truth.
These are all qualities that each child of God possesses, and each person can develop them as his or her own qualities.That's why all sons of God can perfectly united with YHWH, their inward image.
The first born spirit is said that he is the exact representation of image of God.
I don't imagine that the other faithful spirits are inferior in God's eyes in this respect?
They too are the exact representation of image of God in free will, justice, love, loyalty, trueness, and the like. All of them have a potential to be exactly like God, their inner image.
It is true that the first born is different in authorities, positions, abilities and the like.
But these things are not one's original which is developed by himself.
These are things given to, prepared for, and inherent.
Since Jesus proved the exact representation of God's image by his obedient life on earth, he was rewarded by our loving, just heavenly Father.
Jesus raised God's children's quality, integrity, reliability to the highest extent by his faithful obedient life course under Satan's enmity.
For this reason, all faithful sons of God willingly agree to praise Jesus.
Re 5:11-12
11 And I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders, and the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice: "The Lamb that was slaughtered is worthy to receive the power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing."
So angels are not inferior to our Lord in God's image.
They are not mere angels as someone imagine comparing them with Jesus, the first born creation.
They also have the same image as Jesus has, YHWH's image.
Ps 103:20
20 Bless YHWH, O YOU angels of his, mighty in power, carrying out his word,
By listening to the voice of his word.
Jas 3:8-10
8 But the tongue, not one of mankind can get it tamed. An unruly injurious thing, it is full of death-dealing poison. 9 With it we bless YHWH, even [the] Father, and yet with it we curse men who have come into existence "in the likeness of God." 10 Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing.
If we bless YHWH, we also bless all faithful sons of God who have came into existence in the likeness of God."
There is no valid reason to belittle faithful angels at all.
They are as God-like as our Lord is.
When we are resurrected in heaven, we will be like them also.
Lu 20:36
36 In fact, neither can they die anymore, for they are like the angels, and they are God's children by being children of the resurrection.
Php 3:21
21 who will refashion our humiliated body to be conformed to his glorious body according to the operation of the power that he has, even to subject all things to himself.
Col 3:1-4
1 If, however, YOU were raised up with the Christ, go on seeking the things above, where the Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Keep YOUR minds fixed on the things above, not on the things upon the earth. 3 For YOU died, and YOUR life has been hidden with the Christ in union with God. 4 When the Christ, our life, is made manifest, then YOU also will be made manifest with him in glory.
1Co 15:43-44
43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised up in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised up in power. 44 It is sown a physical body, it is raised up a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one.
A spirit being who are fond of human family
Pr 8:3131 being glad at the productive land of his earth, and the things I was fond of were with the sons of men.
When Adam was created, the first born spirit worked along with YHWH.
When Adam was sentenced to death, the first born spirit listened to the sentence.
Form the beginning of the human history, the first bone spirit has been involved in God's earthly family.
So it is hard to imagine that he was not used to communicate with God's worshiper in ancient times.
In the times of the Hebrew scriptures, angels (spirit beings) were used as the representative of God.
Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Daniel, were helped and guided by an impressive angel, a spirit being.
To me the angel seems to be the first born spirit.
