Ps 2:7 three todays

*Psalm 2:7 — “Today I Have Begotten You”* *Three ‘Todays.’ One Son. One Gospel.* --- *Everybody quotes Psalm 2:7.* *“You are My Son, today I have begotten You.”* *The rabbis quote it for coronation day.* *The church quotes it for resurrection day.* *The Arians quoted it to say Jesus was created.* *Nicaea quoted it to say He’s “begotten, not made.”* *Same verse. Same word: יְלִדְתִּיךָ “begotten.”* *Hebrew has it. LXX has it: γεγέννηκά σε. Peshitta has it: ܝܠܕܬܟ.* *No ancient witness disputes “begotten.” Not one.* *The fight isn’t the word. The fight is: _Which today?*_ *Turns out Scripture gives us three. All true. All necessary. All one Gospel.* ### *The Word First: What Does “Begotten” Mean?* *Hebrew: יָלַד _yalad*_ = “to bear, bring forth, beget.” Mother or father can do it. *But Psalm 2:7 is God speaking.* *יְלִדְתִּיךָ* _yelidtika_ = *“I have begotten you.”* Father to Son. *Here’s the kicker: This is an Aramaism.* *Normal Hebrew for a father*: *הוֹלִיד* _holid_ “he fathered.” *Psalm 2 uses יָלַד* — the same root Aramaic uses. *יְלֵד* _yeled_ in Aramaic = beget. *Psalm 2 has other Aramaisms*: *בַּר* _bar_ “son” v.12 instead of Hebrew *בֵּן* _ben_. *So from the start, “begotten” here already smells like Peshitta territory.* *And Peshitta confirms it. John 1:18*: *ܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ* _yichidaya Alaha_ = *“the Only-Begotten God.”* *Same root. יחיד _yachid_ = “only one, unique, darling, only-begotten.”* *Psalm 22:20*: _“Deliver my *יְחִידָתִי* yechidati from the dog”_ = *“my only life, my only-begotten soul.”* *Psalm 68:6 Peshitta*: *ܠܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܒܒܝܬܐ* _“sets the Only-Child in the House.”_ *So “begotten” = יָלַד = יחיד = ܝܚܝܕܝܐ = μονογενής.* *It means “brought forth as the Only One.” Not adopted. Not created. Brought forth.* *Question is: Brought forth WHEN?* *Answer: Three times. Three ‘todays.’* ### *Today #1: Incarnation — Begotten in the House* *Psalm 40:6 LXX*: _“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but *a body You prepared for me*”_ *σῶμα κατηρτίσω μοι* *Psalm 68:6 Peshitta*: *ܐܠܗܐ ܡܘܬܒ ܠܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܒܒܝܬܐ* _“God sets the Only-Child in the House”_ *Luke 1:35*: _“The Holy Spirit will come upon you... therefore the child will be called holy — *the Son of God*.”_ *John 1:14*: _“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us... glory as of the *Only-Begotten* from the Father.”_ *That’s ‘today’ #1. The day Yehowah put His Yachid ܝܚܝܕܝܐ in a prepared body.* *Not by Joseph. By Spirit. Begotten, not made.* *The House is the body. John 2:21*: _“He spoke of the temple of His body.”_ *Manifestation. Visible. “A body You prepared.”* *How else could the Only-Begotten be begotten?* Only by Spirit overshadowing. *That’s today #1.* ### *Today #2: Resurrection — Begotten from the Grave* *Acts 13:33*: _“God has fulfilled this... in that He raised up Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son, *today I have begotten You*.’”_ *Paul doesn’t quote Psalm 2:7 for Christmas. He quotes it for Easter.* *Why? Because dead men don’t have ‘todays.’* *Psalm 22:15*: _“You lay me in the dust of death”_ *Psalm 22:30 LXX*: *נַפְשִׁי לוֹ חָיָה* _“MY soul shall live FOR HIM”_ — not *נַפְשׁוֹ לֹא* “his soul not” *Romans 1:4*: _“Declared to be the Son of God with power... by resurrection from the dead.”_ *Resurrection is a begetting.* *Colossians 1:18*: _“He is the beginning, *the firstborn from the dead*.”_ *The same body prepared in Psalm 40, pierced in Psalm 22, is raised in Psalm 2.* *“Today” = the day the grave couldn’t hold the House.* *That’s why some Greek manuscripts shift the tense.* *Most LXX*: *γεγέννηκά* _“I have begotten”_ — perfect, completed action with present result. *Codex Alexandrinus*: *ἐγέννησά* _“I begot”_ — aorist, point-in-time. *Same verb. Different aspect. Both point to a real ‘today’ when it happened.* *Today #2: Easter morning. The Yachid walks out. Begotten from death to life.* ### *Today #3: Enthronement — Begotten as Heir* *Hebrews 1:5*: _“To which of the angels did He ever say, ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten You’? And again, ‘I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son’?”_ *Hebrews 5:5*: _“So also Messiah did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but He who said to Him: ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten You.’”_ *Psalm 2:8-9*: _“Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance... You shall break them with a rod of iron.”_ *Psalm 110:1*: _“Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool.”_ *Resurrection wasn’t the end. It was the enthronement.* *Acts 2:36*: _“God has made Him both Lord and Messiah — this Jesus whom you crucified.”_ *The ‘today’ of Psalm 2:7 is the day He sat down. Ascension. Coronation.* *Begotten as King. Begotten as Priest. Begotten as Heir of all things.* *Hebrews 1:2*: _“His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things.”_ ### *Why This Matters: The Yachid Becomes Yachidim* *Here’s what they tried to hide by editing Psalm 22:* *Psalm 22:31 LXX*: *זַרְעִי* _“MY seed shall serve Him”_ — not *זֶרַע* “a seed” *Isaiah 53:10*: *יִרְאֶה זֶרַע* _“He shall see seed”_ — after death *Psalm 68:6 Peshitta*: *ܠܝܚܝܕܝܐ* _“to the begotten-ones”_ — plural *The Only-Begotten ܝܚܝܕܝܐ doesn’t stay alone.* *John 12:24*: _“Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”_ *Hebrews 2:10*: _“Bringing many sons to glory.”_ *Today #1*: Yachid begotten in the House → *Incarnation* *Today #2*: Yachid begotten from the grave → *Resurrection* *Today #3*: Yachid begotten to the throne → *Enthronement* *Result*: Yachidim begotten in His House → *Church* *Psalm 68:6 Peshitta*: _“God sets the Only-Child in the House... and brings out prisoners into prosperity.”_ *The House gets filled with begotten-ones. ܝܚܝܕܝܐ becomes ܝܚܝܕܝܐ — singular to plural.* *That’s why they changed Psalm 22:30 נַפְשִׁי לוֹ → נַפְשׁוֹ לֹא.* *“My soul shall live FOR HIM” proves resurrection.* *Resurrection proves Psalm 2:7 means Easter, not just coronation.* *Easter proves the Yachid births Yachidim.* *One letter cuts that chain: לוֹ→לֹא.* ### *Bottom Line: Three Todays, One Son* *All three ‘todays’ are true:* 1. *Incarnation*: _Today_ the Spirit overshadowed Mary. *Yachid begotten in flesh.* 2. *Resurrection*: _Today_ the grave broke. *Yachid begotten from death.* 3. *Enthronement*: _Today_ He sat down. *Yachid begotten as King.* *The ancient witnesses agree on “begotten.” יְלִדְתִּיךָ. γεγέννηκά. ܝܠܕܬܟ.* *The only question is which ‘today’ you’re talking about.* *Answer: Yes.* *He was begotten when the body was prepared.* *He was begotten when the body was raised.* *He was begotten when the body was enthroned.* *Same Yachid ܝܚܝܕܝܐ. Same House. Three ‘todays.’* *And because of those three ‘todays,’ there’s a fourth:* *Today, if you hear His voice, you become part of the Yachidim. Hebrews 3:7.* *One Only-Begotten. Many begotten-ones. One House. No more graves.*
