Discovering Hope in the Psalms Psalm 2: The Hope of Messiah’s Reign

The ​Rebellion ​of Man (v. 1-3) It is characterized by... Rage ​(2:1a)- tumultuous in its conspiring Plotting (2:1b)-​ ​to “​meditate​” on something means to “utter something under one’s breath” and it is a repeated action. “Set themselves” (2:2a)-​ independent assertion​, literally means “get ready for war.” “Take counsel together” (2:2a)- their standard for ​decision making​ is each other. *​Fighting ​against​ God’s​ rule​ over your life. (2:3) The ​Reaction​ of God the Father (v. 4-6) Despite man’s rebellion, God ​rules ​over all.​ ​(2:4-5) Despite man’s rebellion, God’s plans will ​stand firm ​forever. (2:6) The ​Rule​ of God the Son (v. 7-9) Jesus Christ’s rule was confirmed by His r​esurrection​ from the dead. (Acts 13:32-33) Jesus Christ’s rule will be ​complete​ over the nations. (Isaiah 49:6b)

The ​Responsibility​ of Man (v. 10-12) 1. Be ​wise-​ choose to listen and ​obey​ God’s words. 2. Be ​warned​- also means “be instructed” from the Word of God. 3. Stop serving​ self ​and start serving the ​Lord​. 4. Show ​submissive love ​and devotion to our Savior King. 5. Know the eternal blessing of taking ​refuge ​in Him. Questions to Consider: In what ways am I like the nations that rage against the Lord? Am I bowing my knee, surrendering my heart, to the Savior King?
