Was God the Son portrayed in the Old Testament?
Yes, God the Son was vividly portrayed in the Old Testament, especially in Psalm 2. That chapter foretold His rejection and death by Jew and Gentile, and declares God's decree: "Thou art my Son." Paul quotes this to show its fulfillment in Jesus' resurrection.
Les teaches that many people just don't comprehend that God the Son was so vividly portrayed back in the Old Testament. He points to Psalm 2, which he calls the benchmark of prophecy and the outline of the Old Testament program. That chapter foretold His rejection and His crucifixion, or at least His death, by Jew and Gentile together. Then God, who sits in the heavens, laughs and speaks in wrath, and sets His King upon the holy hill of Zion. Then comes the decree: "Thou art my Son." Paul quotes this verse to show it was fulfilled when God raised up Jesus again from the dead.
