This was a prayer, not a realization of an event. This process is ongoing and will not be complete until the 7th Trump shall sound.
I would highly recommend you start reading things
in context... at least if you wish to ascertain what the authors of the texts under discussion intended to convey. In this case, the author flat out tells us what he thinks the psalm is referring to immediately after citing it:
When they heard it, they raised their voices together to God and said, "Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth, the sea, and everything in them, it is you who said by the Holy Spirit through our ancestor David, your servant: 'Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples imagine vain things? The kings of the earth took their stand, and the rulers have gathered together against the Lord and against his Messiah.' For in this city, in fact, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place." (Acts 4:24-28)
Luke draws one-to-one correspondences between each element of Psalm 2:1-2 and recent history he narrated in his gospel and here summarizes. Herod represents the kings of the earth and Pontius Pilate the rulers, the Gentiles and peoples carry over directly, Jesus is the Messiah, described as being anointed by the one addressed in prayer, namely the Sovereign Lord, and all are linked together through the verb 'to gather' either as the agents or the one against whom they are collected. To claim that we do not have here the "realization of an event" is to ignore what the author himself writes...
"this he has fulfilled to us" - This day, they are begotten sons of God.
Again, just reading this in context refutes your interpretation:
And we bring you the good news that what God promised to our ancestors, he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son; today I have begotten you.' As to his raising him from the dead, no more to return to corruption... (Acts 13:32-34a)
The promise is a savior from the house of David (13:23) and the message of this salvation has been sent to the speaker's contemporaries (13:26)... it has been fulfilled
for them, not
by them, in the person of Jesus --- the second person of the citation is
singular, referring to Jesus, rather than the plural of the audience. Jesus' resurrection from the dead is what makes salvation, defined in terms of the forgiveness of sins, possible (13:37-38) and it is this event --- connected chronologically in the gospel with his exaltation (Jesus rises from the dead and ascends to heaven on the same day in Luke 24) --- that fulfills this part of the psalm for Luke. To appropriate this for believers generally is again to ignore what the author writes...
According to Ps 2, where would this have happened? "my holy hill". Do you have any idea where that might be?
Jerusalem, the city where Luke situates Jesus' arrival as king, his crucifixion, resurrection from the dead and ascension... while the author of Acts does not cite this portion of the psalm, he does draw attention in the earlier citation to events taking place "in this city", which in that context was Jerusalem. For the record, the citation in chapter 13 is placed in the mouth of Paul in a synagogue in Antioch in Pisidia (13:14), which also speaks against your interpretation.
Hmmmm.... now we're beginning to see what God has in store for those who follow Him.
This was in response to the two citations from Hebrews, the first of which in contexts reads as follows:
Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom he also created the worlds. He is the reflection of God's glory and the exact imprint of God's very being, and he sustains all things by his powerful word. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"? Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"? (Heb 1:1-5)
The questions are rhetorical, demanding the answer "none" --- the deity does not speak this way to angels, only to his son (that is, Jesus). Your appropriation of this for believers generally violates the author's rhetoric and trips all over itself since it would imply the exact opposite answer to the author's intention since some angels are, according to LDS theology, resurrected saints (Moroni, for example).
As for the other citation in Hebrews, it reads as follows:
So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you" (Heb 5:5)
Again, the author sees fulfillment in Jesus and says nothing of others.
I know you don't believe all that, but that's what the Bible teaches. You have been lead down a path into darkness. The light shines in that darkness and the darkness can't comprehend it.
Sad indeed.
I have no interest in your sermons and evaluations of whatever spiritual life you think I may or may not have... kindly confine your comments to the exegesis of the pertinent texts.
false conclusion. The anointed is whomever God anoints, Jesus being one of them.
No, in all four places where portions of Psalm 2 are cited in the New Testament, the anointed one is Jesus... your attempt to appropriate these for yourself and other like-minded exegetes speaks both to an inability or unwillingness to read in context as demonstrated above and a shocking elevation of your status to that of a god --- in religious terminology one might call it blasphemous. From a secular standpoint, I just consider it silly, but you are free to believe whatever nonsense you wish.
Your engagements with my posts are hit and miss so if you do bother responding, I won't pick it up until next weekend as I am only posting a couple of days a week...
Kind regards,
