charisbarak Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Ps. 2 How the nations are raging in war against each other even today! The leaders are using their own people to take over other nations. They are making their plans to take over all nations, especially God's Chosen Israel. They are not coming together but for to fight against God. They don't want to acknowledge Jesus Christ, nor be under His rule. Oh, how God laughs at their foolishness--making something of themselves when they are not--thinking they can outsmart, out-fight God. He then gets angry--He has given His only Son, Jesus Christ, all the nations to rule as He will in Zion at His holy hill. The earth is the Lord's possession & inheritance. Warning!! You kings of the earth, be wise!! Fear Him!! Worship Him!! He's coming soon & you will lose your life forever!! Joy & blessing will come to those who trust & take refuge in Him!!

After mediating this Psalm 22 I begin to wonder if the Old Testmant and New Testament continually reflect each other where the Messiah is the winner in both.

masika Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 When I read these Psalms that talk of the Messiah, Am very grateful because the Messiah died for my sin. God did not spare His own Son, Jesus, from dying on the Cross. If Jesus had lived, the rest of humankind would have died. God sent His only Son to die so that we could be spared from eternal death we deserved and instead receive eternal life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a God that cannot lie. He has promised us eternal life if we are obedient to His Word. If we a faithful to serve Him, then He will be our God and Father and we will be His beloved children. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. He could have sent His Son into the world to condemn the world, but instead He sent Him to suffer and bleed so that through Him, the world may be saved. God promises to be with us always, not just in the good times, not just on sunny days, but through all of our trials and tribulations. Always means forever and that is what God vowed to us, "Lo, I am with you always." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me to know and realize that God's ways are not my ways, that His ways are a lot higher and better, is just amazing. To know that God had a plan from the beginning, that Jesus was willing to give His life to bring that plan into action. I use to say that God's love was awesome, which it is, but not it is so amazing. I can see the ways God is moving in my life, and it is so amazing to know what an awesome God I do serve. I praise God for His salvation, for the relationship that I can have with Him through Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exercise - I think of the song, "The Old Rugged Cross", and meditate on it - On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross The emblem of suff'ring and shame And I love that old Cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross Till my trophies at last I lay down I will cling to the old rugged Cross And exchange it some day for a crown Oh, that old rugged Cross so despised by the world Has a wondrous attraction for me For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above To bear it to dark Calvary So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross Till my trophies at last I lay down I will cling to the old rugged Cross And exchange it some day for a crown In the old rugged Cross, stain'd with blood so divine A wondrous beauty I see For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above To pardon and sanctify me So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross Till my trophies at last I lay down I will cling to the old rugged Cross And exchange it some day for a crown To the old rugged Cross, I will ever be true Its shame and reproach gladly bear Then He'll call me some day to my home far away Where his glory forever I'll share So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross Till my trophies at last I lay down I will cling to the old rugged Cross And exchange it some day for a crown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was right in David's time, It spoke of the future of Jesus Christs, and now it speaks to us and what we might have felt like at some particular time. How glorious is our God, and the way He reveals Himself to us right now. To this generation and then the next. Word can not express!!!!

Psalm 2 - God rules Why is the world engaged in a useless conspiracy against God and His Son? We continuously hear the call to remove all restrictions! Our Lord dismisses this stupid arrogance and rebellion. He knows we will one day all surrender and fully submit to His Son! My eyes have been opened, And now I can see The love of the Father Given to me. My Saviour, Deliverer, The reason I sing, To You I surrender, For You are my King.

Arrayed in holy majesty, from the womb of the dawn you will receive the dew of your youth. 4 The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." 5 The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath. 6 He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth. 7 He will drink from a brook beside the way; therefore he will lift up his head. I meditated on Psalm 110 today. David prophesied that the Son of David has come to bring justice. Currently, he waits for the Father to release Him to avenge His wrath. The King of Kings will come with the vigor of a young boy. He will fulfill his mission as an everlasting priest. In majesty, He will lay his enemies to waste. Nothing will stop Him. A life-giving stream will renew his spirit. I am so thankful to know that Christ will overthrow his enemies in the end. Sometimes, it seems like evil is winning in this world. But, no, my God is a God of justice and He will make all things right in the last days. Praise His holy name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Jerry Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I have read the Psalms many times and I didn’t see that Psalm 22 was speaking about Jesus. It has made be diligent to read the psalms no only as poetry but so see that some of them are prophesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pleading my case before you Telling you all my problems and worries I am completely undone, yet you see my path My enemies want to destroy me I looked everywhere for help But no one came to my aid Then I cried unto you For you are my hiding place and my portion Hear my cries and deliver me from them Release from my bondage so I can praise your name And my brothers and sisters will gather around me When you finally come to my aid.

Rosesam Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Psalm 2 as a dialogue between the three persons of the trinity Holy Spirit: 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, against the Lord, and against His anointed saying, “Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh. The Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure. Father : Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. Jesus : I will declare the decree : The Lord hath said unto Me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee Father : Ask of Me, and I shall give thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Holy Spirit: Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
