John 5:43

+ 5:43 (context 5:14-47) MP: Combined with (Ps 2:6-7, 2:12), this Son is the King whom God installs in Zion and who has a special unique relationship to God. His wrath is not something to be desired. (See also Prov 30:4c). (Ps 2:6-7, 2:12) + 5:43 (context 5:14-47) MP: Statement and question, what is the name of “Son” of God. Consider in connection with (Ps 2:6-7) God’s King has become God’s son and (Ps 2:12) kiss the son / give reverence to the son lest he be angry and you perish. (See also 1 John 2:22-24). (Prov 30:4c) I have come in 'Avi ·my Father·’s name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
