Messiah’s Destiny<\/h2>\n

For those who are running to their Bible to find out exactly what\u2019s so interesting about Psalm 2:8 I\u2019ll quote it here. \u201cAsk of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Thine inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Thy possession.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who is the \u201cMe\u201d speaking in this passage? It is God himself. And who is he promising to give the nations as an inheritance? He is promising his Messiah, the Holy One of Israel. It is also a promise that Gentiles will be included as part of his inheritance \u2013 the very ends of the earth.<\/p>\n

This is a short psalm, only twelve verses but it is entirely a prophetic declaration by Jehovah God. My New American Standard Bible gives it a subtitle: \u201cThe Reign of the Lord\u2019s Anointed.\u201d <\/em>It looks forward to the time of Messiah\u2019s reign where God says: \u201cI have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.\u201d <\/strong>(Verse 6)<\/p>\n

In this psalm God looks upon the rebellion of the kings and peoples of the earth (including the wicked forces in heavenly places) and laughs at them for their vain attempts to thwart his purposes. He promises they will fail miserably.<\/p>\n

Remember that in the Old Testament the nation of Israel expected a Messiah but they had no idea it would be God\u2019s Son \u2013 that Jesus would empty himself of his divine privilege and become man. Yet this psalm gives a clue in verse 7 for any with ears to understand: \u201cHe said to Me, \u2018Thou art My Son, today I have begotten Thee.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did Jesus Christ fulfill the prophecy in Psalm 2? Yes, but it is not yet fully visible. Listen to this from Hebrews 2:8, \u201c\u2019Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet.\u2019 For in subjecting all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him<\/em>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ultimate fulfillment will be when Jesus returns again on a white horse to rule and judge the nations, \u201cAnd on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, \u2018KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.\u2019\u201d<\/strong> (Revelation 19:16)<\/p>\n

\u201cAmen. Come, Lord Jesus.\u201d<\/strong> (Revelation 22:20)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
