Psalm 2
> 6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: YHWH hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I **begotten** thee
**Question(s) - answer as many as you are willing and able:**
- ***What day was this "son" begotten?***
- ***Can we assume this "son" is Jesus?***
- ***Was this the "day" YHWH also enthroned him in v6?***
- ***Can YHWH beget Himself? Do fathers ever beget themselves?*** (If this son is Jesus and Jesus is YHWH)
- ***Did Jesus beget a son?*** (If this son is NOT Jesus and Jesus is YHWH).
Applicable scripture:
Psalm 89
>25 Also I will set his hand over the sea,
And his right hand over the rivers.
26 He shall cry to Me, ***‘You are my Father,
My God,*** and the rock of my salvation.’
27 Also I will make him ***My firstborn,**
The highest of the kings of the earth.*
The author of Hebrews quotes the OT psalm:
>Heb1:5 For to which of the angels did He ever say:
“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?
Jesus says about himself:
>Luke 22:29
and just as My Father has GRANTED ME A KINGDOM, I grant you
And Daniel...
>Daniel 7:14
“And to him was **given** dominion,
Glory and A KINGDOM,
From Strongs:
>μονογενής monogenḗs, mon-og-en-ace'; from G3441 and G1096; only-born, i.e. sole:—only (begotten, child).
