Psalm 2 is both a prophetic and messianic psalm that points to Jesus and that which is to come.  The present condition of our world is described prophetically in the first three verses: "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 (Psalms 2:1-3 ESV).”

Jesus said, "Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (Matthew 11:29-30 ESV),” but, in our day, nations and rulers have decided that God’s yoke declared through Jesus, the Word that became flesh, is “bonds” and “cords” restraining them from fulfilling their fleshly desires birthed through selfish ambition.  Jesus, the Messiah, the Anointed One, the Son of God, has been denied by entire nations, their rulers and their religions.

Nations fight against God through rejecting His Anointed, Jesus Christ, His only begotten son.  Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him (John 14:6-7 ESV).”  If Jesus is rejected, God Himself is rejected; If Jesus is received, God Himself is received.

Receive Jesus today; receive God.
