Solomon, perhaps under a “pen name” Agur (Pr. 30:1), asks these questions:
Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know?
Why would he ask the name of “His Son” along with all these other questions that are designed to demonstrate the greatness of God? Because Solomon is very familiar with Psalm 2:7-8, where the great plan of God is revealed:
“ ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. 8 Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. 9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
One application for Psalm 2 is, Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in the way! If you don’t know who the “Son of God” is then you are in trouble. How can you submit yourself to Him? The Son of God is Jesus Christ. He is currently sitting at the right hand of the Father, waiting for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet (Ps. 110:1; Mark 12:36; Heb. 1:3,13). Do you know the Son of God?
