Deuteronomy 17:14-20 shows the attributes of a very human king vis-a-vis God and His word. Per Psalms 1 and 2, this obedient king is designated the Son of God. NT reception of Psalm 2 shows this scripture was fulfilled by Jesus the Nazarene. "God has made this Jesus both Lord and Christ".
Not terribly mysterious.. .yet WL panned Psalm 1 as vain, and his RecV footnotes on Deut 17:14-20 focus on local church elders and their 'theocracy'. Where's Jesus? Where's the King of Israel, and Savior of the world? Nowhere to be seen. Again and again WL departed from clear NT precedent and struck off on his own, mostly to disastrous results.
