¹ tn Grk “from the ages,” “from eternity.”

² tn The participles ὑπάρχων (Juparcwn) and εἰδώς (eidw") are translated as causal adverbial participles.

Most modern translations thus render the phrase “one of his descendants.”

⁴ sn An allusion to Ps 132:11 and 2 Sam 7:12-13, the promise in the Davidic covenant.
