Another Clue that Jesus is YHWH

Cousin,

I noticed something interesting about the passage from Hebrews chapter 1 that I quoted earlier regarding the earth's eventual destruction. I think it contains another "clue" to the divinity of Jesus.:

⁸ But of the Son he says,

   "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
   the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
⁹ You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;therefore God, your God, has anointed you
   with the oil of gladness beyond your companions."
¹⁰ And,

   "You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
¹¹ they will perish, but you remain;
   they will all wear out like a garment,
¹² like a robe you will roll them up,
   like a garment they will be changed.
But you are the same,
   and your years will have no end."

For in verse 8 it says that these passages are speaking of the Son. Yet verses 10 through 12 are a direct quotation of Psalm 102:

²⁵ Of old you laid the foundation of the earth,
   and the heavens are the work of your hands.
²⁶ 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,
 ²⁷ but you are the same, and your years have no end.

If you go read Psalm 102, from verse 12 on, you'll see it's unquestionably about YHWH. The author of Hebrews obviously believed that the Son was in some respect YHWH.
