Jonathan Pennington teaches the doctrine of the eternal Sonship of Christ, showing from Scripture that Jesus Christ has always been God and has always been the Son of God, not only since the virgin birth. Drawing from John 17 and John 1, 1 John 5, Micah 5, Proverbs 30, Psalms 2, Daniel 3, Hebrews 1, and Genesis 1 and 18, he shows that the Old Testament speaks of the Son as already existing. He points to the fourth man in the fiery furnace and the Lord's appearance to Abraham as appearances of Christ, notes how the King James Bible keeps Daniel 3 accurate, and urges believers to know sound doctrine so they are not deceived.

“And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.”John 17:5 (KJV)
