In light of contemporay political and and social and religious conditions in the United States, I want to look at Psalm 2. Psalm 2 is not only a Messianic Psalm, but also a prophetic warning to the Gentile nations to serve the LORD Jesus Christ in the Church Age. The context is the Gentiles nations, not Israel.

a. Psalm 2 is not only a Messianic Psalm, but also a prophetic warning to the Gentile nations to serve the LORD Jesus Christ in the Church Age. The context is the Gentiles nations, not Israel.

A Muslim dies and finds himself before the pearly Gates. He is very excited, as all his life he has longed to meet the Prophet Mohammed. Having arrived at the Gates of Heaven, he meets a man with a beard.

‘Are you Mohammed?’ he asks.

‘No, my son. I am Peter. Mohammed is higher up and he points to a ladder that rises into the clouds.

Delighted that Mohammed should be higher than Peter, he climbs the ladder in great strides, climbs through the clouds coming to a room where he meets another bearded man.

He asks again, ‘Are you Mohammed? ‘No, I am Moses. Mohammed is higher still.

Exhausted, but with a heart full of joy, he continues to climb the ladder and, yet again, he discovers an even larger room where he meets another man with a beard.

Full of hope, he asks again, ‘Are you Mohammed? ‘No, I am Jesus...You will find Mohammed higher up.

Mohammed higher than Jesus! The poor man can hardly contain his delight and climbs and climbs, ever higher Once again, he reaches a larger room where he meets a man with a beard and repeats his question:

‘Are you Mohammed?’ he gasps, as he is by now, totally out of breath from all his climbing. ‘No, my son. I am God. But you look exhausted. Would you like a coffee?’ ‘Yes, please, my Lord’

God looks behind him, claps his hands and Calls out: ‘ Hey, Mohammed, two coffees!’

Keep your trust in God; the government has failed.

Psalm 2 is a warning and a prophecy to all peoples of all nations concerning the mighty work of God by Jesus Christ, the anointed SON of God our Father, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin of Israel.
In Jesus the Christ dwells all the fullness of the godhead bodily and psalm two is forth telling of the Word of God concerning all nations, He will send the Lord Jesus Christ to rule and reign for 1000 years from the land of Israel on HIS Throne as KING of King and LORD of lords and that after the 7 year ordained tribulation upon all the nations of the earth who reject Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour as their King. And God has stated HE will use Israel as a burdensome stone to anger all the pagan nations against Him and His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. He will draw them to the mountains of Israel under the man anti Christ whom the world will worship during the 7 year tribulation and the Lord Jesus will destroy all the armies of the earth who dare to come against Israel to destroy it thinking that Lucifer is greater than God, an unforgivable sin in the eyes and power of God.
Hence, they could not go in because of unbelief and therefore shall suffer the wrath of God.

Psalm 2 (King James Version)

Psalm 2
1Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

8Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Forget the fortune-telling, and think prophetically.

Psalm 2 describes the ongoing struggle, through all of history, between human conspiracies and God's Kingdom. No one expected Communism to suddenly deflate -- the "smart" people in the "free world" were already trying to make preemptive deals with the presumptive winner of the Cold War, when God intervened.

The question of the moment is -- which enemy of God's will bite the dust next -- secular humanism (the governing faith of America's ruling elite) or Islam? How can we as Christians be ready to take advantage of either window of opportunity? I strongly recommend a two-prong effort:

home schooling -- deprive the secular humanists of the resource they most lust after, the allegiances and minds of our children.
language partnering with students from Islamic countries who are here on student visas. Show an interest in someone's native language, and you have a superhighway into their hearts.
