Proverbs 30:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 30:4
Agur asks: Who has ascended to heaven or descended? Who gathered wind or bound waters? Who established earth's ends? 'What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?' These rhetorical questions point to God's transcendent power and anticipate Christ ('his son'). Only God has cosmic authority. Reformed theology sees this as proto-Trinitarian—Father and Son governing creation. These questions humble human pretension while pointing to divine power and the coming Messiah.
