Aineo wrote:However, in God's foreknowledge the Messiah existed before John. So the question we have to answer is how do we reconcile all of the Messianic prophecies, not just one with the reality of the NT, where we read in Colossians that the Son is the "first-born" of all creation.
Psalm 2:7 "I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD:
He said to Me, 'Thou art My Son,
Today I have begotten Thee.
When did Yehova beget His Son?
this is understood by many to be the day when Jesus was Baptized and the voice came from Heaven and said "This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased." (Matthew 3:17).
