Why
do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings
of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break
their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that
sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in
derision. (Psalm 2:1-4)
There
is a ruling elite that has emerged in this modern world, which is at
war with the God of the Bible and of Christ. The second Psalm is a
prophecy of these men, calling them the “Kings of the earth and
their rulers”. It is important to note at this point that this
description is not limited to political figures, presidents, prime
ministers or leaders. “The Kings of the earth and their leaders”
refer to political and governmental figures indeed but is not
limited to them.
What
the Psalm is referring to is what we would call the “ruling elite”
in all areas of influence in society. These men are the leaders in
education,religion, entertainment, banking and finance, economics,
the cultural movers and shakers, the shapers of men’s opinions,
the gatekeepers in modern life.
The
Psalm tells us that in the last days these “cultural guardians”
will “take counsel together against the LORD and his Christ”.
Where have they taken this counsel? How have so many of our elites
come to an Anti-Christian consensus? It turns out that they received
that counsel in our institutions of higher education.
The
Psalmist also warns us that the “Kings of the earth and their
rulers” are carrying out their counsel against the LORD and his
Christ, by conducting a “liberation movement”, breaking
Judeo/Christian society away from all of the former strictures and
constructs which once formed western society.
The
Kings of the earth and their rulers have been on a long march
through every one of our institutions, tearing down or plucking out
by the roots the moral and spiritual foundational supports of our
culture; the value of life, the meaning of humanity, the definition
of marriage, Judeo/Christian sexuality, the differences between
Genders, they destroy the unity of Society by agitating and
exploiting disaffected identity groups.
These
cultural elites have foisted upon the people of the west a
philosophy of Nihilism.
This
philosophy has been evolving in academia and has seeped into the
mainstream of our society through the media, entertainment, and
education is called Multiculturalism. Multiculturalism seemingly
started out as a celebration of the “diversity” of humanity, and
the recognition of the contributions of cultures other than western.
This
philosophy evolved into the manifestly erroneous idea that all
cultures are in fact equal in value, and that any assertions of
cultural superiority in any area (by Westerners),is proof of
bigotry.
The
end point of the evolution of this errant philosophy (Perhaps it was
the goal all along), is that all cultures; i.e. Third World, African
Tribal, Islamic, Bhuddist, Hindu, communist , etc, are superior to
classical Western Culture.
Western
Culture, the most successful, humane,
reasonable,liberating,reductive, just, humanly elevating,merciful
civilization the world has ever seen, is now portrayed as racist,
exploitive, bigoted, greedy and murderous. The “left” has
succeeded in slandering the West in spite of the manifest success of
the culture. The youth of our culture especially, have been
indoctrinated into this diabolical lie.
I
believe the reason for this “Vain Imagination” is because of the
fact that it is Western Civilization which is associated with
Christianity, having sprang pout of it.
Thus
the cultural flavor of the day, (In the face of the mysogeny
brutality, hatred, open bigotry,blood lust and fervent murderous
expansionism) is Islam. In the face of universal Islamic “Rape
waves”, murder, assault, terrorism in astonishing magnitude ,Our
cultural elites not only insist upon the “Peacefulness of Islam”,
but seek to engorge our formerly civil and orderly societies with
millions of Muslims who openly hate and want to kill us.
This
was all prophesied in the second Psalm.The Kings of the Earth
feature in end times predictions in both old and new Testaments. For
example Isiah tells us that one of the reasons for the final
devastating judgments coming on the earth, s that the Kings of the
Earth have broken the "Everlasting Covenant".
The
earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they
have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the
everlasting covenant....It shall come to pass in that day That the
Lord will punish on high the host of exalted ones, And on the earth
the kings of the earth.( Isaiah 24:5, 21)
The
Hosts on high refer to the judgment of the Principalities ,powers
and rulers of the darkness of this age" but the Kings of
the Earth refers to the human ruling elite.The Lord will soon punish
them for what they have made of this world.
The
Kings of the Earth have participated in a world wide rebellion,
against the LORD and his Christ. Psalm 48 tells us that their
rebellion also involves resistance to God's plan for Jerusalem...
Great
is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God,
in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the
joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
the city of the great King. God is known in her palaces
for a refuge. For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed
by together. They saw it, and so they marvelled; they
were troubled, and hasted away. Fear took hold upon them
there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.(Psalm 48:1-6)
The
Kings of the earth are already assembling against Jerusalem. The
U.N. is nearly unanimous of its condemnation of Israel's possession
of Jerusalem, and The Pope recently prayed openly that Jerusalem
would remain divided! The same Pope announced himself at the 70th UN
general assembly in 2015 by saying, "I have come in my
own name and the name of the Catholic church!" .
Make
no mistake, Pope Francis is one of the powerful "Kings of the
Earth" which hav taken sides against the LORD and His Christ.
This
is a direct defiance of God himself and will soon bring the final
judgment. But they are all being led by Satan and his evil Spirits
and in many cases do not realize it.
Revelation
16 tells us that demons , in the form of frogs will come out of the
AntiChrist's mouth to bring all of the Kings of the earth into war.
“ And
I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the
dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of
the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working
miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the
whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God
Almighty.”(Revelation 16:13-14)
When
Jesus actually returns, out of the shadow to resist Him personally,
will step the Beast, the Kings of the earth and their armies...
“And
I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered
together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against
His army.”(Revelation 19:19
But
they will not be able to face the amp of God in his full wrath...
“And
the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the
commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid
themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and
said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the
face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to
stand?”(Revelation 6:15-17)
These
"ruling elite" are one of the ways Satan makes war on the
Saints.
