Neville’s Reading in A Parabolic Revelation
This verse refers to the spiritual birth of David (the Christ, the anointed one) within the individual, confirming the individual's identity as God the Father.
Thou art my son, today I have begotten thee.
Source: A Parabolic Revelation
Neville’s Reading in Awake O Sleeper
This verse is a divine decree declaring sonship. Neville connects it to the individual's awakening as the Father, at which point David (the son) appears to acknowledge them as his Father, fulfilling the promise.
It is David who says: “I shall tell of the decree of the Lord. He said to me, ‘Thou art my son, today I have begotten thee.’”

Neville’s Reading in Christ Is Your Life
Psalm 2 is referenced as revealing the Son of God, who existed before God became individualized as humanity. This Son is distinct from the individual human, yet intimately connected to the Father.
The 2nd Psalm reveals the son that was his before he became you.

Neville’s Reading in Eschatology The Doctrine Of The End
The experience of being the Father of God's only begotten Son (David) is universal, meaning that all who have this experience are the same one God the Father, emphasizing a singular divine identity shared by all.
If I am the father of God’s only begotten Son as told me in the 2nd Psalm and you have the same experience, then you and I are the same Father.
Neville’s Reading in Nevilles Purpose Revealed
This verse is spoken by David, confirming his identity as the Son of God, and by extension, confirming the individual's identity as the Father.
I will tell of the decree of the Lord: He said unto me: “Thou art my son. Today I have begotten thee.”

Neville’s Reading in Order Then Wait
Neville interprets this verse as a personal experience of the individual, where 'I' (the Father/God) is revealed to be the one who begot David, the Son. This is part of 'The Promise' and signifies the awakening of the divine within the individual, recognizing themselves as the Father.
And how would I know that that Father is the father of David, for David said, “I will tell of the decree of the Lord, and he said unto me, Thou art my son. Today I have begotten thee.” But who would have thought for one moment, reading that story, – thousands of years before this moment in time – that it is speaking of me? Speaking of you?

- This is a prophecy of a mystical experience where one realizes their divine Fatherhood, and the figure of David appears as the begotten son, confirming this identity.
- The experience of David as one's son is the direct revelation of one's divine sonship and fatherhood.
- Understand that the biblical narrative of God begetting David is a personal, mystical experience awaiting you. This realization confirms your identity as the Father and the fulfillment of the divine plan.
