Jesus begotten Son of God #12 Son of God

The Anointed begotten Son of God

28. Son of God

In Hebrews 1:5ff three corroborating proof texts take us to the origin of the Son. 2 Samuel 7:14 reinforces Psalm 2:7 and speaks of the moment when God becomes the Father of Jesus the Son (“I will be his father and he will my son”). This is equally the moment when Jesus comes into the world, is brought into the world, i.e. is born.

“For to which of the messengers did He ever say, “You are My Son, today I have brought You forth”?¹ And again, “I shall be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son”?² {Footnotes: ¹Ps. 2:7. ²2 Sa. 7:14.} And when He again brings the first-born into the world, He says, “Let all the messengers of Elohim do reverence to Him.” And of the messengers indeed He says, “… who is making His messengers spirits and His servants a flame of fire.” But to the Son He says, “Your throne, O Elohim, is forever and ever, a sceptre of straightness is the sceptre of Your reign. “You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Because of this, Elohim, Your Elohim, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” “ (Hebrews 1:5-9 The Scriptures 1998+)

““I inscribe for a law: יהוה has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have brought You forth. “ (Psalms 2:7 The Scriptures 1998+)

““I am to be his Father, and he is My son. If he does perversely, I shall reprove him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men.” (2 Samuel 7:14 The Scriptures 1998+)

In the New Testament we do find written down that Jesus spoke of his own coming into the world (“to this end I was born,” see John 18:37) and we know when that was. He was made holy and sent into the world (John 10:36), which is an echo of Gabriel in Luke. “The one begotten (brought into existence) holy will be the Son of God.”

“Then Pilate said to Him, “So then, You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this [reason] I have been born, and for this [reason] I have come into the world, so that I should testify to the truth. Every [one] being of the truth hears My voice.” “ (John 18:37 ALT)

Jesus is been born and as for any other being that has been born he came into existence and came into the world.

Trevisani baptism christ — John the Baptist baptizing Christ – 1723 Francesco Trevisani

And it occurred, when all the people were baptized, that Yeshua/Jesus also was baptized. And as he prayed, the heavens were opened; and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in the bodily likeness of a dove: and there was a voice from heaven, which said: “You are my beloved Son, in whom I have delight.” And Yeshua was about thirty years old. Then the New Testament gives us his family tree and lets us know that he was accounted the son of Yoseph/Joseph, who was the son of Heli, and in that lineage we could fine Levi and the prophets Amos, Nahum, several Yudahs/Juda, Yosephs, Nathan, the son of David, son of Boaz, son of Salmon, to come by the son of Yitzchak/Isaac, son of Avraham/Abraham/Aram, son of Terach/Thara, via the son of Shem, son of Noakh/Noach/Noah/Noe, son of Lamech, to the son of Methuselah/Mathusala, son of Enokh/Enoch, to come to the son of Yared/Jared, son of Mehalaleel/Maleleel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enos, so to the son of Seth, son of Adam, the son of Alaha[1] the Allah Elohim Hashem or Most High God Jehovah.

“And it came to be, when all the people were immersed, יהושע also being immersed, and praying, the heaven was opened, and the Set-apart Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven saying, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in You I did delight.” And when יהושע Himself began, He was about thirty years of age, being, as reckoned by law, son of Yosĕph, of Ěli, of Mattithyahu, of Lĕwi, of Meleḵi, of Yanah, of Yosĕph, of Mattithyahu, of Amots, of Naḥum, of Ḥesli, of Noḡah, of Ma’ath, of Mattithyahu, of Shim’i, of Yosĕph, of Yehuḏah, of Yoḥanan, of Rephayah, of Zerubbaḇel, of She’alti’ĕl, of Neri, of Meleḵi, of Addi, of Qosam, of Elmoḏam, of Ěr, of Yehoshua, of Eli’ezer, of Yorim, of Mattithyahu, of Lĕwi, of Shim’on, of Yehuḏah, of Yosĕph, of Yonam, of Elyaqim, of Melea, of Menna, of Mattattah, of Nathan, of Dawiḏ, of Yishai, of Oḇĕḏ, of Bo’az, of Salmon, of Naḥshon, of Amminaḏaḇ, of Ram, of Ḥetsron, of Perets, of Yehuḏah, of Ya’aqoḇ, of Yitsḥaq, of Aḇraham, of Teraḥ, of Naḥor, of Seruḡ, of Re’u, of Peleḡ, of Ěḇer, of Shĕlaḥ, of Qĕynan, of Arpaḵshaḏ, of Shĕm, of Noaḥ, of Lemeḵ, of Methushelaḥ, of Ḥanoḵ, of Yereḏ, of Mahalalĕl, of Qĕynan, of Enosh, of Shĕth, of Aḏam, of Elohim.” (Luke 3:21-38 The Scriptures 1998+)

Those who kept to the commandments of the Almighty could call themselves children of God and by such they were sons or daughters of God. Today it is not otherwise. If we follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and honour his Father also as our Father, God shall be willing to accept us as His children and we shall be able to be a son or a daughter of God and be allowed to call Him our Father who is in heaven.[2]

In the same manner as God by divine fiat created Adam from the dust as Son of God, so in due time He created within the womb of a human female the one who is by the action of the Holy spirit, the supernaturally begotten Son of God. It is surely destructive of straightforward information and revelation to argue that the Son of God did not have his origin in Mary but as an eternal Spirit. This is to dehumanize the Son — to make him essentially non-human, merely a divine visitor disguised as a man, while from the genealogical tree we see the he came forwards from all human beings.

[2] After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. (Matthew 6:9 KJV)
