Psalm 2: A Royal Psalm
Manage episode 449803890 series 3569974
Psalm 2 is a royal Psalm celebrating the kingship of David and his descendants as God’s anointed representative to rule the people of Israel. The nation’s prosperity is tied to the rule of the Davidic King. But it also has a future application.
The Davidic king figuratively is God’s Son, yet ultimately in Jesus Christ, the King will indeed be the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity. As a consequence, all of the lesser kings and rulers of the world are warned to show honor and homage to this coming king, the heir of David, King Jesus.
Gentile kings are warned that this is no ordinary king, rather he is anointed by God to carry out God’s plans.
Praise God, that Jesus Christ will return to rule an eternal kingdom in righteousness. We should look forward to that day as God’s word promises a crown of gold for those who wait in expectation in the Lord’s return.
Praise God that he has given us the Godly King, Jesus Christ, through whom we have salvation and refuge.
