Throughout history there have been true prophets of the Creator, God, the Most High, and their prophecies have revealed a way God has of making people so saintly and holy that He calls them His children. This is a rare and special thing and some have difficulty accepting it and preach against it, especially in regard to one very special son who came into history as Jesus Christ. It was to King David that a special explanation by God through a prophet revealed how God can regard a specially chosen and sanctified person as His son. God promised to make a descendant of David into a kind of king God would not give up on, even if that person failed; God would correct and restore them and use others to punish them but never give up on them or take the kingdom's throne away from them. This was Solomon but it foretold how God envisaged having a person rule for Him over His Kingdom and not be allowed to lose that throne but keep it by being corrected and treated not as a temporary servant but as a son. So we should not take offence that God sent word to men to tell them Jesus is His Son and Jesus foretold that He would be given the throne of David.
