    Peace With Jehovah Requires That We Honor His Son, Jesus

    Hostility toward Jehovah and Jesus was prophesied

    2:1-3

    The Messianic King, Jesus Christ, sits on his throne holding a scepter

    • It was prophesied that the nations would not accept Jesus’ authority but would insist on their own

    • This prophecy had fulfillment during Jesus’ time on earth and has a greater fulfillment today

    • The psalmist says that the nations mutter an empty thing, meaning that their purpose is empty and doomed to failure

    Only those who honor Jehovah’s anointed King will gain life

    2:8-12

    • All who oppose the Messianic King will be destroyed

    • By honoring the Son, Jesus, individuals can find safety and peace
