The F.O.G Message


For to which of the messengers said He ever, ‘My Son thou art—I to-day have begotten thee?’ and again, ‘I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?’

Young's Literal Translation


Hebrews 1:5 Notes

It is interesting how the author uses 2 Samuel 7:14: “I will be a Father to him.” This verse talks about God being a Father to David, but the very next line speaks about when he sins, which absolutely does not apply to Jesus. Thus, the author’s choice of quotation is intriguing and unconventional by modern biblical expositors’ standards. However, it highlights how the ancients read the Scriptures prophetically. They understood that one line could refer to one person or topic, and the very next line could shift to another.
