Psalm 2:1-4 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens laughs.
Here the psalmist pictures the nations of the world preparing for war against God, for they want to be free of his authority over them. How does God respond? He laughs! Why? Because all the might of humanity is nothing before God. As Scripture states elsewhere, men are mere grasshoppers before God (Isaiah 40:22). Can you imagine a swarm of grasshoppers trying to bring down Mt. Everest? Never happen. And man will never be able to free himself from God's authority!
SOOO ... all this to say, Jesus as God's Anointed will indeed one day rule the world with a rod of iron (Revelation 19:15). What a glorious day that will be. Are YOU ready for that day? Take a moment and check out, Two Ways to Live: The Choice We All Face.
