Nations Rage

Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations rage,

And the people plot a vain thing?
"the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, "(1 Tim 4:3-4)
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His Anointed, (Messiah-The Christ)
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, (the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one ) to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. “(Rev 16:14-15; 1 John 5:19)
saying,
3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." (Gen 3:4-5)
He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. (scorn--unworthy--anger aroused by something unjust--contempt--something regarded as worthless)
"There shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation,Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. (Dan. 12:2)
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:
"the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, (2 Thess 1:7-9)
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges (the Father judges no one but has committed all judgement to the Son) and makes war. (“I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!) His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword,( “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.) that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.
(Rev 19:11-16; John 5:22; Lu 12:49;Mt. 10:34; )
6 “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.”
But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel." (Heb 12:22-24)
7 “I will declare the decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You."
God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For to which of the angels did He ever say:
You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?
And again:
I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son”?
But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says:
Let all the angels of God worship Him.
You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
They will perish, but You remain;
And they will all grow old like a garment;
Like a cloak You will fold them up,
And they will be changed. (So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory...")
But You are the same....( Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.)
(Heb 1:1-12; Matt 19:28; Heb. 13:8)
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance, 
"He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied Is 53:11"
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matt. 24:30-31”
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.
out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. Rev 19:15”
10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss (pay homage--worship) the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
