Psalm 2

The Language of The Relationship – More Than Just a Religion

(NKJV) The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom

1 Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 “Yet I have set My King
On My holy hill of Zion.”
7 “I will declare the decree:
The LORD has said to Me,
You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

There is no question that throughout the ages, peoples and kings have raged against God. Rulers have joined together and set their hearts against the LORD and against heaven for vain and temporary earthly gain. For this believer, it is difficult to comprehend the pursuit of such fleeting reward at the cost of eternal loss. Those who do not fear God set themselves against the Anointed One, Jesus Christ, and strive after the things of man until His wrath is kindled. Yet if they turn from these things, put their trust in Him, and with righteous reverence “kiss the Son,” they shall be blessed.
