WHICH “DAY” WAS JESUS BEGOTTEN?
The Book of Hebrews states…
“For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, THIS DAY have I BEGOTTEN thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?” ~Hebrews 1:5
“So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, TODAY have I BEGOTTEN thee.” ~Hebrew 5:5
But what “DAY” is this exactly? You will hear various answers such as…
- He always existed
- In “Eternity Past”
- On day 1 of creation
- His human birth
- The resurrection
According to Scripture, “THIS DAY” is reference to the fulfillment of Psalm 2:7 which Acts 13:33 clearly speaks of as being the Resurrection…
“God hath FULFILLED the same unto us their children, in that he hath ?RAISED UP JESUS AGAIN?; as it is also written in the SECOND PSALM, Thou art my Son, ?THIS DAY? have I BEGOTTEN thee.” ~Acts 13:33
“I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; ?THIS DAY? have I BEGOTTEN thee.” ~Psalm 2:7
