As opposed to Psalm 1 which heralds the ‘man’ who walks in the ways of God,
Psalm 2 is directed to nations and kings, rebuking those derelict peoples who
reject the Lord and seek to destroy Israel. The Sages suggest a number of
possibilities for which enemy the psalm is referring to: Nimrod, Pharaoh, Gog
and Magog. No matter who the enemy is, it is ultimately doomed to destruction.
God has chosen a king from among the Children of Israel who will serve as His
anointed one on Zion, His holy mountain. Once the people of
Israel conquer and settle the land, the anointed one, king of Israel, will
assume the role of defender of Israel and protect Israel from harm’s way. With
their unique approach to reveal extraordinary teachings extracted from the
Bible, such as this one, eTeacher will no doubt introduce you into a world of
astonishing discoveries.
