God's definition in Psalm 2:7

By Vladimir Rumyantsev
Psalm 2:7 concerning to the nature of one God, and my explanation, why there is in the Old Testament only Lord Jesus Christ is the "King", but not God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are one "King".
Let me attract your attention my theological work about the God's definition in the

Psalm 2:7 concerning to the nature of one God, and my explanation, why there is in the Old Testament only Lord Jesus Christ is the "King", but not God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are one "King".

Please understand me right. I don't want to change your conviction, but I want, that you only listen my understanding of the nature of God. Listen to me please. It is very important for me.


God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit is one God.


When I tell only about God the Father, I must to tell, that God the Father is one God, not the first God.


When I tell only about God the Son, I must to tell, that God the Son is one God, not the second God.


When I tell only about God the Holy Spirit, I must to tell, that God the Holy Spirit is one God, not the third God.


But I can to tell only about God the Father, that God the Father is the first God's Personality of the Holy Trinity. God the Son is the second God's Personality of the Holy Trinity, and God the Holy Spirit is the third God's Personality of the Holy Trinity.


I must to remember, that I can not to mix three God's Personalities in one Personality, like Jehovah's Witnesses. They are speaking everywhere, if Lord Jesus Christ is God, it is meaning:


"Did God say that He was His own Son, that He was well pleased in Himself, that He sent Himself?"


"Who did He pray to? To a part of Himself?"


"Who did Jesus address? Himself or a part of Himself?"


"Who raised Jesus from the dead? If He were indeed dead, He wouldn't have resurrected Himself".


They don't know the nature of one God.


God the Father tell us about God the Son: "Yet have I set My King upon My holy hill of Zion" (Psalm 2:6).


I know, that Lord Jesus Christ is one God, and that He is the "King". So, when I read in the Holy Scripture "Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his Redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside Me there is no God" (Isaiah 44:6), I know, that there is in this verse Lord Jesus Christ is speaking, because Lord Jesus Christ is one God, the "King of Israel, and his Redeemer the Lord of hosts", "the first, and the last" and beside Lord Jesus Christ there is no God.


But I know, that beside God the Father there is no God, and beside God the Holy Spirit there is no God.


And if I will tell, that God the Father is the "King" and God the Holy Spirit is the "King" too, it is meaning, that I mix three God's Personalities in one Personality, what I must not to do.


"Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord" (Deuteronomy 6:4);


"I will declare the decree: the Lord has said to Me, You are My Son, today I have begotten You" (Psalm 2:7).


"I will announce the definition: the Lord has said to Me, You are My Son, today I have begotten You" (Psalm 2:7) in the Russian Sinodal Bible.


The combination of this two verses, Deuteronomy 6:4 and Psalm 2:7, let us to name the Lord Jesus Christ "more one Personality", who has the God's nature, like His Father, because Lord Jesus Christ is the true Son of God. But to name the Lord Jesus Christ "more one God" in the combination with Deuteromony 6:4 "our God is one Lord" is meaning to contradict to God's decree (definition), what Lord Jesus Christ declared in Psalm 2:7. God the Holy Spirit is one God by God's decree (definition) too.


I don't know, why two thousands years nobody speak about the God's definition in the psalm 2:7 concerning to the nature of God. I discovered it for myself in the process of my discussion with Jehovah's Witnesses. It is very beautiful definition of God, and nobody speak about it.


So, when I read "Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord" (Deuteronomy 6:4), I know, that there is in this verse I read about the God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. But when I read "I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King" (Isaiah 43:15), I know, that I read only about the Lord Jesus Christ, because Lord Jesus Christ is one God, the everlasting "King".


It is very simple explanation, and he has not contradiction to the Psalm 2:6 "Yet have I set My King upon My holy hill of Zion" (Psalm 2:6).


There is in this verse of the Holy Scripture only God the Father is speaking:


"Thus says God the LORD, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk on it" (Isaiah 42:5).


There is in this verse of the Holy Scripture only God the Holy Spirit is speaking:


"Then the LORD said to Moses: "How long will these people reject Me?" (Numbers 14:11);


""I, even I, am He who comforts you" (Isaiah 51:12).


God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are not one mystery unknowable Personality,


but three different God's Personalities.


"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew28:19).


"It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.


I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me" (John 8:17,18).


Lord Jesus Christ tell us, that He and His Father are two different Personalities, like two men, differently He and His Father can not to be two witnesses.


And I am sure, that there is only Lord Jesus Christ is the "Lord" and "King" in the Psalm 2 and Psalm 45, not the king David ore Solomon.


And there is in the Old Testament only Lord Jesus Christ is one God, the everlasting "King".


"I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King" (Isaiah 43:15);


"Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his Redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside Me there is no God" (Isaiah 44:6)?


"But the Lord is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King" (Jeremiah 10:10).


"In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon the throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.


Then said I, Woe is me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts" (Isaiah 6:1,5).


"These things said Isaiah, when he saw His glory, and spoke of Him" (John 12:41), about Son of God, Lord Jesus Christ, King, Lord of hosts.


"For so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 1:11).


The word "King" concerning to God is very beautiful key in the Holy Scripture. There is everywhere in the Old Testament, when I read the word "King" concerning to God, I know, that there is Lord Jesus Christ is the "King".


And I know, that the glory of God the Father and God the Son is one, because God the Father and God the Son is one God:


"And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Philippians 2:11).


Excuse me please my mistakes in English, I am sorry, I don't speak English.


Thank you.



God bless you,
