Danny Conicelli teaches on Psalm 2, with the message entitled “Jesus in the Psalms: Lion, Lamb, King” as he continues the sermon series “Living in His Story: Jesus, the Author, Hero, Completer”.
“The idea of YHWH alone as king, as expressed by the extreme revolutionaries in the first century, thus raises a big question. What will this mean in practice, in reality? What will is look like? How does all this line up, if it does, with the national expectation and hope? Will it underwrite it, will it overthrow it, or will it perhaps do both of those at the same time? Paying attention to the prophets would indicate that something like this third possibility was likely; but what would it actually mean? In particular, the question was raised: would YHWH actually appear, visibly and in person, to take charge? If so, what could people expect to see? How would it happen?” -N.T. Wright referencing Psalm 2
Psalm 2 was written around 1044 B.C. by King David. In 2020 A.D. we are privileged with a clearer picture of God’s “Anointed King” through his revelation in the person of Jesus Christ. Why is this significant and what does it mean for us today? Does Jesus as King fulfill all your expectations? Allow the Holy Spirit to teach you His message while reading through Psalm 2 along with, Acts 13:13-52, Romans 1:1-6, Matthew 28:18, John 12:12-15, 19:14-15, and Revelation chapters 5 & 6..”
