Psalm 2 anticipates the triumph of Messiah's Kingdom. There are four stanzas to this psalm: 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12. How do these four movements present the triumph of the King?
I. Man's rebellion (v. 1-3). (Defiant voice of the world) A. Description of the rebels. 1. "Nations" - like Israel, you have rejected Me from being your king (Samuel) 2. "Kings" - Herod at birth of Jesus; Pilate at trial of Jesus Acts 4:24-27 3. "Rulers" - "weighty" dignitaries; 1 Cor. the noble and mighty.... rich and wise of world 4. "People" - all rebel against God, like sheep going their own way. Invictus, "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul... my head is bloodied but unbowed." B. Description of rebellion. 1. "rage" __ begins with emotion 2. "plot" __ thinking = meditate in Ps. 1 3. "set" __ posturing or attitude 4. "counsel" __ planning or huddle up, seen in the plotting and planning of Chief priests, Sadducees and Pharisees against Jesus 5. "break bonds" __ rebelling, hatred and defiance 6. "cast away cords" __ Hos. 11:1-4 chords of love; my yoke is easy C. Description of the rightful authority. 1. The LORD - Jehovah 2. His anointed. - Messiah
Transition: We continue to see the rightful authority of God and how ludicrous it is to rebel against Him pictured in the next stanza of the song.
