The King's Divine Decree
Commentators agree that this verse is spoken by the Messiah, who is declaring the Father's official, unchangeable decree. This decree is the legal and authoritative foundation for Christ's kingdom. His rule is not a human power grab but is established by the sovereign will of God Himself, making resistance to the Son a resistance to the Father's declared purpose.
