When was the Son begotten? Ps. 2:7
Posted: Sun Aug 02, 2015 1:51 pm
I will tell of the decree:
The LORD said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
ESV
I will declare the LORD’s decree:
He said to Me, “You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father.
HCSB
This verse is quoted 3 times in the NT about Jesus.
In Acts 13:33 it seems to be used as a reference to the Father raising the Son. Of course The Father called Jesus 'Son' and Jesus called God 'Father' many times before the resurrection.
And the 2 other times it is used in Hebrews
In Heb. 1:5 it is used in referring to the superiority of Jesus over the angels and inheriting a name greater than theirs. Seemingly he had not this name before the cross and resurrection?
finally in Heb. 5:5 in which Jesus was appointed by the Father to be a high priest, Melchizedek kind of priest.
The verse does not seem to be used to point to an actual origin of Jesus but as a coronation of some kind. There was a time when Jesus was not raised from the dead, a time when he was not but became a high priest and time when Jesus did not have the name that is above all names.
