Psalm 2

Observations:
The psalmist exhorted the pagan nations to abandon their rebellious plans against the Lord and His anointed king and to submit to the authority of the Son whom God has ordained to rule the nations with a rod of iron.
Application:
This is a great Messianic Psalm. Who else but Jesus could the "Son" refer to? He will rule the nations - that's prophetic of what He will do in the end times, although in the present He rules over all the earth, but not as a benevolent dictator. God who sits in the heavens "laughs" at man's puny ways of ignoring Him or attempts to rebel. We must really be a source of laughter to Almighty God these days as man is doing all he can to try to take God out of Christmas - does anyone see the first 5 letters of Christmas - "Christ!!" Kind of hard to take something out that is right there in front of our faces. Perhaps that's why "Happy Holidays," is the new fashion. I enjoy saying "Merry Christmas" to folks and watching them break out in a broad smile. Let's keep Christ in Christmas and be less of a source of laughter for God!
