1 | Is Jesus being called God or a God? | John 1:1 | Emmaus | 129796 | ||
Novetta, This excerpt from a book on the Psalms which I am reading may help. "Psalm 45 is clearly a psalm about the Davidic king and seems to be a wedding psalm. Interestingly, some scholars like, Gary Rendsburg, see this psalm as northern in origin, which would provide another link to the two previous psalms. Mitchell seems to see the placement of this psalm after the plea from exile as an indication of God's plan to restore the land under the Davidic king: "Psalms 42-43 represent Israel in exile...Psalm 45 therefore becomes the answer to this prayer, revealing the redeemer, the bridegroom-king, who will turn Israel's sorrow to joy." "Furthermore, Mitchell shows how the content of Psalms 44 and 45 is much like the scheme of Zecarhiah 9-11. There Israel is described as gathered from exile where they have been "scattered" (Zech 10:9; 13:7; Ps 44:8) by a Davidic king (Zech 2:7-10; 12:7-14; Psalm 450, who comes "riding" in (Zech 9:9; Ps 45:4) as a bridegroom to a daughter/bride (Zech 9:9; Ps 45:10). "Arguably, the most intriguing part of Psalm 45 is it's declaration, "Your throne endures for ever and ever"(v. 6). While some scholars assert that this statement is directed at Yaweh, this does not seem to be the case. Indeed, ALL ancient versions of this passage outside of the Masoretic Text understand this to be a statement directed to the Davidic king, including the Septuagint, the Targums, the New Testament Book of Hebrews, Aquila, Summachus, the Peshitta, and the Vulgate. Hence, the kingship of David is inextricably linked to the kingship of God. This connection is made in 1 Chronicles 28:5: "[The Lord] has chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord." Likewise, the Davidic kingdom is clearly understood as the kingdom of God: "[N]ow you think to withstand the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David" (2 Chron 13:8). "The close connection between the throne of David and the kingship of God is especially seen in the description of Zion as both the city of David and the city of God. Hence Zion is referred to as the "city of God" in Psalm 46:4. Psalm 47 then, is a psalm of God's kingship. This is followed by a song of Zion in Psalm 48. Thus a certain kingship/Zion interlocking patter is formed. Mount Zion manifests the union of the kingship of God with the Davidic dynasty. There is no tension between the two. God reigns through the Davidic king." Singing in the Reign: The Psalms and the Liturgy of God's Kingdom (p 95-97) Michael Barber Emmaus Road Publishing, 2001 Stubenville, OH Emmaus |

3 | How to explain Hebrews 1 | John 1:1 | Emmaus | 130028 | ||
Prophetic passages can be read on more than one level. In this case on three levesl. The Davidic king at the time the Psalm was written, Christ, the Davis kinf and "son of David" and Christ on his eternal throne in heaven. But the "God, your God" is address the the Davidic king at the time the psalm was written. I hope this is of some help to you. | ||||||
4 | Undertanding Hebrews 1 | John 1:1 | Noveta | 130029 | ||
I guess the question is in Hebrews 1, it says God, your God and a few verses earlier it states God is speaking to the son.. So who is God and who is Your God. Is God and Your God the same person? |
