Why do the nations rage?
It seems that the Psalmist here, overwhelmed with the state of the world, posses an almost rhetorical question. Why? Everyone, it seems, is against the Lord, His Messiah, and His Mountain.
It’s a question just as relevant today as it ever was. As we look into the dark abyss of history, or watch the six o’clock news, the same questions rise. Why do people do such wicked things? Explanations and analyses abound for what is going on or how it all happened, but as I see videos of people being beheaded in the Middle East popping up on FB everyday, deeper answers prove allusive.
The Psalmist gives us no answer, leaving the question hanging there for all eternity. But there is hope for us yet. Despite the rage and the plotting, there is One on the throne who is bigger than all of that. There is a Father waiting to give an inheritance to His Son. So I pray come Lord Jesus, come and reign from Zion. Bring your justice to the earth and claim your prize in us.
