Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
I should mention verse 7 which mentions the Son begotton of the Father. He was always existent; but as the Son (glorified in a human body) forever He would be God incarnate; in a man in who would overcome death for all men to be able to gain victory through His sacrificial atonement.
The rest of this Psalm goes into the Millennial period where Christ is to rule with unquestioned authority and not tolerate any nonsense. We should note that TRUST is a key issue here; many will see Christ rule and reign but true faith involves trust that following Christ is the best thing to do and that our well being is paramount in His essense. Trusting what He says in the Word which is alive being spoken and breathed by God Himself is also imperative.
These statements remind us that things aren't always going to remain the same. As incredible as it seems; this event is literal and it will one final time repeat itself at the end of the Millennium when there is one final attempt at rebellion against God which results; of course in eternal damnation with the ensuing Great White Throne Judgment. Sadly this shows how men who don't know Christ will view a world that He reigns over thinking either that it will be a life that never ends; or thinking 1000 years is too long to concern themselves with anything but self interests. As a prayer; we see in later Psalms such as Psalm 22 that David suffered in many cases like Christ the Holy One.
