Psalm
2 – Man’s Rebellion against God
It is an empty futile thing that has brought mankind
together. The establishment has joined in with it. Rulers, both religious and
political, joining together. “Against the Lord and against the Christ.
Many people are not sure He is God. “…Lord thou art
God, which has made heaven; and earth, and by sea, and all that in them is: Who
by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the
people imagine vain things?” Acts 4:24-25.
“For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom
thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the
people of Israel were gathered together.” Acts 4:27 This is a movement against
God and Christ.
The wheat is growing, the tares are growing, they are
both growing together, and He will do the separating.
The Jesus of the Bible and the Jesus of liberalism are
two different individuals. The liberal’s do not believe in the virgin birth,
miracles. They believe He died on the cross but not for the world, nor that
Jesus rose bodily.
The Jesus we preach is the Jesus of the Bible, and
that is the One against whom is opposition in the world today.
God has made marriage for the welfare of mankind, but
they say, “Let’s break their bands asunder.” The ten commandments are cords.
God gave them and He gave them to protect mankind. They are thrown out the door
today, and now we are experiencing lawlessness. “We want to be free and do as
we please.” God says we can’t make it that way. It won’t work.
In the political world there is confusion. In the
moral realm there is corruption. In the spiritual sphere there is compromise
and indifference. And in the social world there is comfort. This is all so
ridiculous that God looks down at us puny people and He laughs. Little man
putting themselves in opposition to God won’t be around very long.
God is calling out of this world a people to His name.
That is His present purpose. The Lord Jesus executes all the decrees of God. He
is the One that is yet to rule. He intends to come to this little planet and
put down rebellion. And He will break them with the rod of iron. You and I are
living in a world that is moving to judgment day, and God is going to judge.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.”
