Who really rules the world? While a cacophony of angry voices surrounds us, from God’s perspective, mankind’s boasting is utterly ridiculous. Alistair Begg examines the hostility of man in the face of God’s sovereignty, the Father’s decree of the anointed lordship of Christ, and the futility of rejecting His reign. The Gospel both woos and warns us: Jesus is coming again, and the only way to flee God’s wrath is to take refuge in His mercy, provided in the gift of His Son.
and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his tAnointed, saying,
3“Let us uburst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
4He who vsits in the heavens wlaughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
5Then he will speak to them in his xwrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6“As for me, I have yset my King
7I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, b“You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
8Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and cthe ends of the earth your possession.
9You shall dbreak2 them with ea rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like fa potter's vessel.”
10Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his lwrath is quickly kindled.
mBlessed are all who take refuge in him.
