AMP Footnotes
The word “Shekinah” does not appear in Scripture, but has been used by both Christians and Jews to describe the visible divine Presence of God, in such things as the burning bush, the cloud and the pillar of fire that led the Hebrews in the wilderness, and the Presence of God that rested between the cherubim over the mercy seat of the ark.
In Greek “name” occurs last in this verse to emphasize that Jesus alone bears the name Son. No angel is superior to the Son.
Most likely a reference to the second coming of Christ when He will be acknowledged as divine and worshiped as the Son of God. Another view suggests that this may be a reference to His incarnation as Jesus of Nazareth.
The Son is recognized as deity by being addressed by the Father as “GOD.”
I.e. symbol of authority.
Late mss read Your.
The deity of Jesus is acclaimed by the designation “YOU, LORD.”
Since He is deity, the eternality of Jesus is recognized.
