Manage episode 409436480 series 3560465
Too many Christians have made spiritual warfare about their enemy rather than God's. The result is worry, anxiety and stress. When we pay more attention to what God's enemy is doing, rather than what God is doing, our wrong focus will bring wrong interpretation. Listen in to hear how you can rest easy that Jesus, the Lamb of God, has this war covered.

Episode 17: The Lamb’s War
ABOUT THE EPISODE
Psalm 2 gives us a tremendous picture of the battle between the Kingdom of Light and the kingdom of darkness. About 60% of this psalm is quoted in the New Testament. There is a reason for this. Verse by verse the story of the the Lamb’s war is painted for us. When understood, we will rest in the revelation that the Father has plans to deal with the contention of nations.
There are four different perspectives presented in the 12 verses of Psalm 2.
- The Voice of the Nations (v. 1-3)
- Contention between the Gentile, non-God fearing nations and those who follow Elohim has been going on since then.
- God divided the nations at Babel.
- The Voice of the Father (v. 4-6)
- God’s seat of authority is sure.
- Psalm 21:7-13 reveals the plan of the Father
- The Father has an eternal solution in His Son.
- The Voice of the Son (v. 7-9)
- The Father in heaven begot the Son Ps 2:7
Begot means to father, Acts 13:30-33, Heb. 1:5,5:5
- The nations are the Son's inheritance
and the eretz as a possession Ps 2:8
- The Lamb's war Ps 2:9, Rev 2:26,27, Rev 6:15-16
- The Voice of the Spirit (v. 10-12)
- Be wise and be instructed Ps 2:10
- Instructed = discipline, instruction
- Worship the Lord/Rejoice with trembling (Ps. 2:11)
- Kiss (nashaq) the Son Ps 2:12
- Kindle to burn, prepare, be equipped w/
- Take refuge in Him! Ps 2:12
- This is where the blessing is!
- Be wise and be instructed Ps 2:10
Recognizing that God has got this, we trust and stand with Him in this now manifestation of the destroying of His enemies. From our study in Psalm 2, as intercessors we are given a clear picture of the enemy's manifesto and God's solution.
