mags Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 We can see that this psalm clearly talks of Jesus and His coming. It shows us (again) that God knew, and planned for the day He would have to send Jesus to us for our salvation. It talks of things that would come to pass and be fulfilled. Jesus' thoughts, life and even enemies were set before Him so the people, both then and today, would recognise Him as the true Messiah - yet still we reject HIm. People will continue to reject Him but one day time will run out, we die, Jesus will come again and we will have not taken up the opportunity. Why put off to tomorrow what you can do today?

Why do you think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah? What does the passage teach about the importance of submission to Jesus the Christ before it is too late?

It says to submit to the son now before he comes later to pour his wrath out on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyann Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Q1. (Psalm 2) What does Psalm 2 teach us about Yahweh's "anointed" king? Why do you think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah? What does the passage teach about the importance of submission to Jesus the Christ before it is too late? What does Psalm 2 teach us about Yahweh's "anointed" king? This psalm teachs us that God's anointed king is proclaimed by the Lord's decree. He will be all powerful, and given reign over all the earth as His inheritance from the Father. As is written in the Lamb's book of life, He will exercise His authority to save or destroy you according to your works, your praise, your faith and belief in Him and your proclaimimg Him as Redeemer Lord and King. Why do you think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah? Because of the covenant that God established with David. The kingdom would start with David , but it would never end. The prophets spoke of the Davidic Messiah, the One who would rule over all and forever on His throne. The apostles also heard God proclaim Jesus as His Beloved Son, had witnessed His resurrection, and had first hand experience with all the miracles he performed. Through the uction of the Holy Spirit, Jesus's identity was revealed to Peter in Matthew 16:15-16; Jesus asked the disciples who they believed He was, and Peter replied, " You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God." What does the passage teach about the importance of submission to Jesus the Christ before it is too late? He will rule with a rod of iron, punishing rebellion, as it occurs. There will be zero tolerance for wrongdoing. To refuse Him, means destruction whereby trust brings safety and happiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah43 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Q1. (Psalm 2) What does Psalm 2 teach us about Yahweh's "anointed" king? Why do you think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah? What does the passage teach about the importance of submission to Jesus the Christ before it is too late? In this psalm we learn of the kings and rulers of the earth conspiring to murder the Christ, to escape the will of God. We learn that God has the last laugh, so to speak. Christ's being as God's son is revealed, and his absolute power as well. Kings and judges (and us) are instructed to kiss the son of God, and accept salvation rather than embrace damnation. I think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus because prophecy does not lie. All that is in the psalm was happening right before their eyes. They were experiencing that which the psalmist wrote. The psalmist admonishes "be instructed..blessed are all they that put their trust in him." Those who don't will perish, will be broken to pieces like clay vessels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
servant for Christ Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Q1. (Psalm 2) What does Psalm 2 teach us about Yahweh's "anointed" king? Why do you think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah? What does the passage teach about the importance of submission to Jesus the Christ before it is too late? It teaches us that the anointed king was Jesus Christ. God anointed him to redeem Israel and rule over God's kingdom. It is Jesus' public proclamation as God's Son and His anointing as prohet, priest, and king. I think it also refers to his people who are facing opposition, just as Jesus faced opposition. God anointed Jesus to rule over the world so he could take us in as an inheritance at Jesus request. If we do not submit to Jesus, we are lost without God. We will not have eternal life with him. We cannot make it through this world without God's salvation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charchar Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Q1. (Psalm 2) What does Psalm 2 teach us about Yahweh's "anointed" king? Why do you think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah? What does the passage teach about the importance of submission to Jesus the Christ before it is too late? That He and God is one. Because in verse 6 tells us that the Lord spoke of His Son being on the holy hill of Zion, and Jesus is the Son of God. We must be submissive to Jesus the Christ before it is to late because we don't want the Lord to be angry with us and his wrath to come up against us. In other words if we don't except Jesus the Christ we will live our life in hell. God is God and they is no other, so when we think we have more power to do as we please we are sadly mistaken because we are not higher than our Creator. I thank God for His son Jesus who came to this earth to give us another chance to get it right and live right so that we can spend our enterinal life with our Heavenly father forever.

Paul G Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Q1. (Psalm 2) What does Psalm 2 teach us about Yahweh's "anointed" king? ANS - He speaks of a close relationship between the Father and Son and that Jesus, the son, will firmly rule over the earth some day. Why do you think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah? ANS - Because it reached beyond just David's time period. Jesus himself spoke of His Heavenly Father in this kind of relationship, and used the Psalms himself in His ministry on earth. What does the passage teach about the importance of submission to Jesus the Christ before it is too late? ANS - We need to submit to Him now, before He begins to rule and earth and bring judgement upon the wicked and unbelievers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillsey1 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 God's Son was set apart from the world with a relationship most of us don't understand. God being father to Jesus his son. A more intimate relationship than just being Jesus friend. But Father and son. A relationship that God is trying to teach us all about himself. That he is our father and that we can come to him as a son or daughter. He is annointed from the powers he carries, that there was oil applied over him to set him apart for God. An oil that spreads out towards us as well,and that we can come to drink of it any time we wanted. God knows all sees all hears all. And knows that the world needed a savior on earth to die for their sins. This world still needs him, however in a different way since he has already died on that cross for us, the world needs to know his love and compassion and forever forgiveness. Jesus has brought me out of the pit and I am forever thankful for that. I will always serve and submit to him. I will enjoy him and his everything for me.

royk Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Q1. (Psalm 2) What does Psalm 2 teach us about Yahweh's "anointed" king? Why do you think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah? What does the passage teach about the importance of submission to Jesus the Christ before it is too late? This passage ends with a strong warning about "kissing the Son" or he will be angry and destroy you. It doesn't sound like a message of love and mercy which we find in the New Testament. Jesus' message of grace, peace and mercy was not revealed to the profit who wrote this Psalm. The maytery of God's love and mercy was meant to come from Jesus' lips only [so this verse would suggest] Whagt ever be the intent of this Psalm, for me it is clear the author is speaking about Jesus coming and our need to submit to Him. The message is one based upon awe and fear of the Lord. Anything less than full submission is foolish, yet today's world has many idols to worship if one is not careful, including our own Ego. I pray for wisdom to overcome all these distractions and server and follow as God wills me to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Palmer Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Yahweh's anointed king has many enemies yet because he is enthroned by God, he ultimately has the upper hand. To rebel against Him is futile, ending only in complete ruin. The anointed king was/is/will be triumphant. Though as the Psalm was initially interpreted to refer to the earthly kings of Israel, with the hindsight of the New Testament, we know this to refer prophetically of the Christ because they (the apostles) saw him as sinless and blameless, all the while persecuted and rejected. The apostles knew of his identification from His baptism when something like a dove descended and God claimed him as His Son. After the crucifixion, the apostles were witness to his resurrection and ascension. The ultimate triumph in the battle between good and evil. From this prophetic psalm and from the life of Christ, we know that He was/is/will be the victor. We should claim the victory with Him by being on the right side!

Glo Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Q1. (Psalm 2) What does Psalm 2 teach us about Yahweh's "anointed" king? Why do you think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah? What does the passage teach about the importance of submission to Jesus the Christ before it is too late? Psalm 2 teaches us that Yahweh's anointed king is not simply a a good man who was created by God as some have argued. The son is fully human and wholly divine on par with the Father. The son shares the same essence as the Father in whom he is well pleased. The passage teaches us that Yahweh pays homage to his Son and commands us to serve the Son with fear and trembling. God warns to you accept the Son before it's too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Grad Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Q1. (Psalm 2) What does Psalm 2 teach us about Yahweh's "anointed" king? Why do you think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah? What does the passage teach about the importance of submission to Jesus the Christ before it is too late? The anointed one would be conspired against. Other nations and peoples would seek to bring Him to ruin. But the Father exalted Him and gave Him dominion over the earth to rule with justice. I believe apostles believed these verses referred to Jesus because no one else has ever ruled the whole earth. Also, Jesus was beaten and crucified just as the king in this passage was mocked and possibly beaten and battered. In the end, it is importance to submit to Jesus while there is still time because He comes to judge and all his enemies will be destroyed on that fateful day.

JanMary Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Q1. (Psalm 2) What does Psalm 2 teach us about Yahweh's "anointed" king? It teaches: He is opposed by evil kings (evil people as well) who recognize His power and authority, but conspire and scheme for how to throw off his bands of restraint and cords of control. His is all powerful. Omniscient, Omnipresent, Holy. He is seated on His throne in Heaven. He reigns. He is not threatened by their plots...He holds them in supreme contempt. He warns. He speaks. He troubles. He terrifies those who oppose Him. He is anointed and appointed, and installed as the most high King by His Father. He is spoken of by His Father: "You are My Son: this day I have begotten You" He has been given the nations as His inheritance and the furthest parts of the earth as His possession. He created all things...they are His. He judges. Those who reject Him will be broken with a rod of iron...power broken like a potshard. He is to be served with reverent awe. He takes pleasure in our rejoicing and high spirits! He is to be "kissed" (loved and revered). He blesses those who seek refuge in Him and trust Him. He is a generous protector! Why do you think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah? The writer of Hebrews says of this passage: To which of the angels did God ever say "You are My Son.".v7..they knew because of this reference. Also the words "Anointed One, and King on My holy hill, Zion. Only the Messiah would reign on the the throne of David.... What does the passage teach about the importance of submission to Jesus the Christ before it is too late? It teaches that He warns, and is patient, but there is coming a "cut off" date....and only He knows when that is for each unbeliever. To delay when one knows the truth, is to risk "being too late" and choosing hell for eternity. It teaches that there is choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Jerry Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 The thing that Psalm 2 teaches us about Yahweh’s “anointed” king is that he has been set on the holy hill. They need to ask and the nations will be their heritage and the ends of the earth their possession. I think that the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah is because God had done what he has said and made the nations his heritage and the ends of the earth his passion. The importance of submission to Jesus is that if we don’t we will perish but is we do we will be blessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarence Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Q1. (Psalm 2) What does Psalm 2 teach us about Yahweh's "anointed" king? Why do you think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah? What does the passage teach about the importance of submission to Jesus the Christ before it is too late? The nations conspired against God (v1)-this may refer to the surrounding nations of Israel, at the time of the writing of the psalm. In addition there is a general prophetic message for the peoples of all ages (from the notes). But God laughs and scoffs at them-he rebukes them and terrifies them in his anger-the opposition does not succeed against an almighty God and his anointed-the Messiah (v6). God still does what he wants in spite of the opposition. The Messiah will reign (v9). The apostles clearly saw that the psalm was prophetic and applied also to the age in which they lived, and for the future- they believed that the psalm was a clear narrative of the Messiah-the anointed one, Son of God, Jesus Christ (Acts 13:33). There is a clear message in this psalm, that one day it will be too late, to swear allegiance to the Son-to be committed to the him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbiemac Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Q1. (Psalm 2) What does Psalm 2 teach us about Yahweh's "anointed" king? Why do you think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah? What does the passage teach about the importance of submission to Jesus the Christ before it is too late? He is God's son that will rule with an iron scepter . He will conquer the nations and reign forever more. The apostles could see this as Jesus because Yahweh calls him his son and the references to the future when He will be king. It is important to follow the messiah now so we will rule and reign with Him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think the apostles saw this passage as referring to Jesus the Messiah? What does the passage teach about the importance of submission to Jesus the Christ before it is too late? Hmmmmm. After reading this lesson twice, the concepts are difficult to grasp. There seems to be much deeper meaning than what is presented. But here it goes.....our anointed King is Jesus, one whom is from God our Lord in heaven. Jesus came directly from God in human form. However if we do not acknowledge Jesus as our Messiah, then we deny God as our king. Jesus was made ruler of all on this earth. If we do not acknowledge Jesus, we then will set a path to our own destruction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
