Christian/Muslim ThreadsJesus vs PaulPsalm 2:7 is not about David being begotten, it is about Jesus. If Ps.2:7 is about David, then how can David say in Ps.22:16 "they pierced my hands and my feet?" We never read in the OT that David ever had his hands and feet pierced, Ps.22:16 is clearly about Jesus' sufferings on the cross, just as Ps.2:7 is about Jesus being the "begotten son" of God. Historically , his Anointed (v.2) referred to David or to any of his descendants who were experiencing opposition (1Sam.24:6); prophetically, it refers to the Messiah who, as the Son of David, also experienced opposition (Acts 4:25-27). Every Davidic ruler was an adopted son (2Sam.7:14), but the real significance of the promise is fulfilled only in Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God (Acts.13:33; Heb.1:5; 5:5). The wise alternative is to submit to this Son, Jesus.
