Psalm 2:7

From Textus Receptus

Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

I have become your father

This verse is prophetic of the fulfillment found in the Book of Acts where we read:

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

This day refers to the resurrection day when the Father raised the Son from the dead and He became the firstborn from the dead (Colossians 1:18) and the first begotten of the dead (Revelation 1:5).

This day have I begotten thee is the reading of the KJV, RV, ASV, NKJV, NASB, RSV, and ESV. The NIV, Holman Standard, and the Jehovah Witness version read: Today "I have become your father". thus teaching that there was a day when Christ was not the Son of the Father, and thus was not the eternal Son of God.
