‏ Psalms 2:7

The Triumphs of Messiah.

Now, after hearing about the rebellion of the nations and God’s response, we hear the Messiah Himself speak. He declares His right to rule and the victory that is promised to Him. The psalm shows that Jesus’ kingdom is not an accident, but part of God’s eternal plan. It is rooted in God’s promise and cannot be stopped by human opposition.

v. 7: The Messiah says, I will declare the decree: the Lord has said to me, "You are my Son; today I have begotten you." . This means Jesus is the true Son of God, chosen and loved by the Father. His right to rule is based on this relationship. The New Testament uses this verse to show that Jesus is above all angels and people (Hebrews 1:5; Acts 13:33 a).
