What the Kings Of the Earth Have Done...Psalm 2

What the Kings of the earth have done…Psalm 2

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.(Psalm 2:1-2)

Watching the way President Obama, Mayor Bloomberg and other assorted Religious , media and political leaders took their stand with those seeking to install a Mosque on the site of the worst mass murder of American citizens in history, has been instructive.

About 80 percent of the American people think it is an outrage of biblical proportions, to install what amounts to a monument to victory over the infidels, at ground zero. What does it mean then that the movers and shakers in politics and media support the so called “Cordoba project” at the same rate?

The penny dropped when the plight of an Orthodox church which was destroyed at the same site came to light. After 9 years, St Nicholas church has been run through a zoning purgatory and has yet to be given leave to rebuild! The Mosque has been rubber stamped, fast-tracked but for the negative publicity. The church which was destroyed by 9-11 is in the doldrums.

Then I remembered the Word of the Lord, the second Psalm , which predicts a time of worldwide confusion and breakdown. The Heathen rage… That is , the nations are in an uproar. The people Imagine a vain thing...The minds of the people have been emptied, they chase vanity, they cling to an empty ideal. And the question is Why?

The answer is that The Kings of the earth and their Rulers…(Not just the political class, but all of the opinion shapers, pundits, the leaders in Education, Media and respectable religion) Have taken counsel against the Lord and His Christ… When did they take this counsel ?

Most likely they did when they went to University, or even earlier, they were steeped in an anti-christian worldview, they rejected the western consensus, especially the contribution of Christianity to this greatest civilization the world has ever seen.

The West has a culture, developed over thousands of years, whose roots are twofold, Greco-Roman and Judeo Christian. But a culture cannot be maintained without a cultus, the germ of the culture, the spirituality of it, which is Judeo Christianity.

What the contrast between the “Cordoba Mosque” and St Nicholas Orthodox church has shown, is that the “Kings of the earth and their rulers,” are doing everything they can to neutralise the christian element, silencing it wherever possible, stifling it, relegating it to just one of thousands of other religions any of which is as valid , if not more so, than the professed religion of most of this nation.

How else do we explain the nonsensical and vastly unpopular immigration policies of western nations such as Great Britain, the Netherlands, and the USA ? Flooding once civilized societies with millions of assimilable immigrants, such as Muslims, literally importing hostile populations who loathe their hosts in spite of the generous welfare benefits which they enroll in.It doesn’t make sense!

But it has to do with change, for these “kings and rulers” hate the West as it is, and seek to obliterate it’s distinctive traditions, especially it’s religious heritage,in order to pursue what David prophesied as “The Vain Imagination”, which is a humanistic, godless,utopia.

The Muslims, with their hypersensitivity which only runs one way, are ideal “change agents”, perfect for the task of wiping away the remnant public expressions of our Christian societal influence.

Every time an American meat packing house is forced to change it’s hours for Ramadan, or an airport installs at public expense a foot bath for Muslim a cab driver , or in this case a Mosque is erected on the same site as the worst massacre on American soil, the heart of the nation is demoralised. Is this what they mean by death by a thousand cuts?

The Counsel, that the Kings of the earth have taken is described as the casting off of the shackles of the religion of God and Christ-(Judeo Christianity)-

“Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us…”

Remember Obama proudly proclaiming to the Muslim world that America is no longer a christian nation? Obama is only the most blatant of them.

This explains another riddle, how do the champions of abominations such as “Gay marriage” and abortion, find common cause with Wahabi Muslims who if given the power would behead the Homo’s first of all?? The answer is in the old Arab proverb- the enemy of my enemy is my friend-(for now).

The kings of the earth and their rulers, side with Islam, in fact they have used Islam, because although Islam and they are at polar opposites in every other respect, they have one over-riding thing in common, they seek to overthrow the God of the Judeo Christian west,and obliterate the culture that grew out of such a faith.

This doesn’t end well folks, buckle your seat belts and read the rest of the second Psalm!

Interesting.

I have had this psalm on my mind for the past two days.

God is not mocked, and while He has certainly blessed this nation in the past, He has not chosen it and has no covenant with it. Watch and pray, and remember where your true citizenship is established.

Pastor, of all the times I’ve read that Psalm, it never settled in my mind that ‘taking counsel’ could mean ‘brought up in the way that they should think’. And yet the Bible is very clear, ‘raise a child in the way that they should go, and when they are old they will not depart from it.’ Thank you for the enlightenment. I believe you’ve captured the essence which had escaped my febble understanding.

Well done! I've been unable to connect the dots and your observation is as close to a plausible explanation of why events are unfolding the way they are as I've seen. A marriage of convenience between muzzies, assorted marxists around the world and our own homegrown domestic enemies. That's quite a coaliton set against God's people.

I’m glad that you posted this. It reminds me (something I have decided to be in denial over for the past few weeks) just how things are falling into place according to scripture. Something else that occurred to me is that in the end times a one world religion will take root and it will be injected/innertwined into government as well.

You may not have intended for those thoughts to evolve but that’s what came to my mind. Thank you for the post. I needed the reminder.

Worth repeating!

Wise families bet against the triumph of secular humanism by supporting home schooling. God calls some to also undermine Islam by "adopting" college students from a Muslim nation.

The future is as bright as the promises of God, since the enemies of God and man keep over-reaching and toppling over. As Christians, we can rejoice that the laws of God and of the created order will consistently frustrate the evildoers.

This charade is almost over. God is about to change the season.

The Christian will reap; and the godless will sow for nothing- sort of like a child that builds a great sand castle at low tide only to have it swept away by the rising tide by late afternoon.

Prediction: BHO will be forced out (or resign) of office by the end of this year.

Though it may " SEEM " that the wicked prosper, the bible tells us a different end there of for them.
God frustrates the plans of the wicked, the godless, those who are not his.
This present regime with find that their plans hath come to naught, they will be blinded by their fears, thoughts, dreams that the GOD of Israel will send to them.

Pastor Bill, God has his chosen remnant, his chosen reserve who has not bow their knees to baal.

As for the term " taking counsel " in this book of Psalms, and especially in Psalm 2, the heathen, the ungodly, the wicked, those who are not God's chosen remnant, those who hath no thought of God in them, means, that they are just acting out from the beastly instinct , natural man, abased, fallen, that is in them, so ? there is no way that they can derive true wisdom in and among themselves, they are ruled by a different master.
What is it ? in this reference does it mean " Taking Counsel " ? well, their wicked plans, schemes, plots, foolishness, their animal abased fallen natural that causes them to act out on every ungodly impulse in them.
This Psalm describes how the wicked will try to destroy everything that is of GOD, of the bible, a marriage between a man and a woman, the family, a once GOD honoring country that this country once was, so you can get the picture and idea.
Raging liberals, Marxist, feminist, homos, are those who are gathered against GOD and his people.

( The AMPLIFIED BIBLE

Psalm 2
1. WHY DO the nations assemble with commotion [uproar and confusion of voices], and why do the people imagine (meditate upon and devise) an empty scheme?

2. The kings of the earth take their places; the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and His Anointed One (the Messiah, the Christ). They say,(A)

3. Let us break Their bands [of restraint] asunder and cast Their cords [of control] from us.


GOD's word translation.

Psalm 2

1. Why do the nations gather together?
Why do their people devise useless plots?
2. Kings take their stands.
Rulers make plans together
against the Lord and against his Messiah[a] by saying,
3“Let’s break apart their chains
and shake off their ropes.”
