Footnotes:

It is interesting how the author uses 2 Samuel 7:14: “I will be a Father to him.” This verse talks about God being a Father to David, but the very next line speaks about when he sins, which absolutely does not apply to Jesus. Thus, the author’s choice of quotation is intriguing and unconventional by modern biblical expositors’ standards. However, it highlights how the ancients read the Scriptures prophetically. They understood that one line could refer to one person or topic, and the very next line could shift to another.
