Your dogma has no connection to the quotes you cite.

Hebrews 2

7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

You can call angels "messengers" if you wish. You cannot then say it refers to prophets. It is not speaking of prophets but of heavenly messengers. Your understanding of the scriptures is a mess.

So as not to be the causer of greater darkness on your willfully ignorant heart, I will only cite the operant passage again then leave you to your own. For your edification, the messengers WERE the prophets in the following passage:

HEBREWS 1:1-4 In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets, in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages; who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might -- through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest, having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they.
