"Again, when he brings the firstborn into the world."
One of the definitions you provided fits well 
with the idea of bringing the Messiah on to the 
human scene. I suggest that it fits well with the 
other two citations adduced. "This day I have 
begotten you" and "I will be a father to him and he a son to me"
Why not then, "When [God[ brings the Messiah into the world."
If the palin belongs with the verb then it could 
be a reference to the Parousia,'
but a third "proof text" seems more natural.
As to firstborn, why not the messianic reference 
in Ps 89:27  "I will make him my firstborn the 
highest of the kings of the earth."
