Volume 2 Isaiah 42:1 1st Trailhead – 2nd Trail – 1st Track

Psalm 2:7 is set in the context of the reign of the LORD’s Anointed One as recorded in Psalm 2:6-8.

When we read Psalm 2:7 in the context of Matthew 3:17, we can say that the thrust of Psalm 2:7 is:

The audible declaration of the Promised Messiah foretold

In this series, the general rule of the thumb is that the Old Testament passages contain the Messianic credentials while that of the New Testament are testimonies of how the beloved Son of God in the flesh as Jesus of Nazareth had fulfilled those Messianic credentials. 

Here, we see Jesus of Nazareth hidden in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament.  It is an example of how the Bible interprets the Bible.  The New Testament scriptures of Hebrews 1:5, Hebrews 3:5-6 and 2 Peter 1:17-18 interpret Psalm 2:7 as referring to the beloved Son of God in the flesh as Jesus of Nazareth.
