Psalm 2 is often labelled a royal psalm, because it refers to the King above all kings. This complements several other psalms: Psalms 18, 20, 21, 45, 72, 89, 101, 110, 132, and 144. Acts 13:33 relates Psalm 2:7 to Jesus. Revelation 2:27, spoken by the risen Savior, relates Psalm 2:9 to His victory over the rebellious nations and His reign on earth. Revelation 19:19–21 describes when and how Jesus will defeat the nations that assemble to go to war against God’s anointed Son (BibleRef).

Psalm 2:1-12 (NIV) says:

A awful war will brake out, called the war Armageddon.

Q1 Verses 8 and 9 speak of nations. Who is “You” in verse 9? What is that person doing to the nations? When will that happen? At which dispensation will the Armageddon war take place?

New Testament Fulfillments

Matthew 3:17 (NIV) says:
And a voice from heaven said, “This is my

, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

Revelation 19:11-16 (NIV) says:
¹¹I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he

. ¹²His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. ¹³He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. ¹⁴The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. ¹⁵Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will

them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the

of God Almighty. ¹⁶On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords.

Q2 In Psalm 2 we heard God speak about his Son. But in the same passage God speaks about the Son ruling the nations. The prophetic Psalm speaks about the Son breaking the powers of earthly rulers with a rod of iron. Also, the world is asked to kiss the Son. Two different aspacts of the Son: a loving diety and a future ruler executing wrath in judgment. Please, how would you harmonize these different aspects?

Q3 We now live in the church age, in dispensation 3. In which time frame will God pour out his wrath?
