En el mismo sentido se aplica a veces incluso a Jesucristo mismo, para significar su dignidad supereminente; no la filiación eterna de su naturaleza divina, como han supuesto

Psalms 89:4 — Versículo Salmo 89:4 . Estableceré tu simiente para siempre, y edificaré tu trono por todas las generaciones.  Y este pacto tenía en vista indiscutiblemente a Jesucristo. Esta es la semilla, o la posteridad, que se sentará en el trono y reinará por los siglos de los siglos.
