(Va fi tradus in curand)

Drama of the ages: man’s rebellion against God. Another has termed it “the decisive declaration concerning the outcome of events and the forces at work today.”
The truly messianic character of this psalm is revealed in the fact that it is quoted as such 7 times in the New Testament. Rebellion against God and Christ began at the arrest of Jesus ( Acts 4:23-26 ). It has gained momentum down through the ages and will finally break in a mounting and mighty crescendo.
This second Psalm can be seen like a television program with one camera on earth and another in heaven.

  • vv. 1-3 — The camera on earth comes on, showing the peoples and rulers raging against God and Christ.
  • vv. 4-6 — The camera in heaven comes on, revealing that God the Father is unmoved by this ridiculous rebellion of the little man. He pursues His plan of putting His King on the throne of this earth.
  • vv. 7-9 — The camera in heaven shifts to the right hand of the Father. God the Son asserts His authority to carry through the decree because of His resurection ( Acts 13:33 ). He will come to judge the nations.
  • vv. 10-12 — The camera on earth comes on. God the Holy Spirit invites men to accept the Savior. “Kiss the Son” is to “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
