ISB ~ Hebrews 2 v5

subjected the world:The angels are ministers of the created order according to Jewish tradition (e.g., Jubilees 2, 2). Jesus, now enthroned above heaven and earth, is the sovereign Lord of creation, not merely one of its servants (Heb 1:6-14).

• Christ is shown to be Lord by the fact that God has subjected the earth to him. The earth is not subject to angels as to a lord but as to a vice-regent, for the whole of visible creation is administered by angels (St. Thomas Aquinas, Commentary on Hebrews 2, 2).
