The Believers Victory

Old Testament Scripture Reading: Psalms 2:1 – 12 (NASB) |
|
Psa 2:1 Why are the nations in an uproar, And the peoples devising a vain thing?
Psa 2:2 The kings of the earth take their stand, And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed:
Psa 2:3 “Let us tear their fetters apart, And cast away their cords from us!”
Psa 2:4 He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them.
Psa 2:5 Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury:
Psa 2:6 “But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”
Psa 2:7 “I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, ‘Thou art My Son, Today I have begotten Thee.
Psa 2:8 ‘Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Thine inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Thy possession.
Psa 2:9 ‘Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, Thou shalt shatter them like earthenware.'”
Psa 2:10 Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth.
Psa 2:11 Worship the LORD with reverence, And rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12 Do homage to the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him! |

1 John 5:5 And who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:6 This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood.

Point # 1: The direction of the fallen world continues to be toward Babylon from which the LORD scattered them while they were on one accord in the wrong direction.
Point # 2: In the likeness of the “Tower of Babel” the un-believing nations left to themselves in a state of false religion in which they have perpetually chosen to exist will bring man around full circle back to a condition called in the book of Revelation 18th chapter “Mystery Babylon”, which will be a governmental as well as a religious system which will again be on one accord against the LORD & His Christ, on the basis of their un-belief in Jesus Christ as the only way of salvation acceptable to the Father.
Point # 3: The ones who are and have been believers in Jesus Christ {The Messiah} will be sustained against all opposition and brought safely into the Kingdom of God to exceeding victory given to them by faith in Jesus Christ. |
