Romans 1:3:- “... concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God...”
Revelation 22:16:- “... I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
My questions are how are these verses written in the original text and how can Jesus be the seed of David and yet the Root of David? In answering the question, please take into account what is written in Matthew 22:41-46.
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. 43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? 46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. [KJV]
