RRB notes on Psalm 2

Psalms 2 KJV

1. Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? [1]

[1] The entire passage, with the exception of verse 7, is the Second Advent. It is the double application, again, that throws all the scholars off because when they read Acts 4:25-26, they think that was the fulfillment of Psalm 2. It is not close to it. It misses it by eleven verses. This “double application” is the perennial stumbling block that no Bible critic can avoid; therefore, he will lose half of the revelation every time he hits a passage like this one. (For example, Rom. 10:1 – double application, Rom. 9:25 – double application, Rom. 13:12 – double application, Acts 15:17 – double application.)

2. The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [2] saying,

[2] The United Nations is gathered together not just against God, but against Jesus Christ. The word “anointed” is the word for Messiah, Christos.

3. Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: [a] the Lord shall have them in derision. [3]

[a] Prov. 1:26-27.

[3] The reason why God thinks the United Nations is a joke is clearly stated in Isaiah 40:17 (see App. 10, 63).

5. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6. Yet have I set my king [b] upon my holy hill of Zion. [4] [c]

[b] Isa. 43:15.

[4] Notice “my king” and “my holy hill.” No king has any business on Mount Zion (the Temple Mount where the “Dome of the Rock” is presently located) unless he’s a Jewish king from the tribe of Judah (John 4:22; Rev. 19:16). No Catholic, Protestant, or Moslem has any more business on Mount Zion than any Canaanite (Zech. 14:21), Ishmaelite, Hittite, Jebusite, or Perizzite (Jer. 25:30; Joel 3:17). God’s idea of a “proper king” is given in 2 Samuel 23:3-5.

[c] Psa. 132:13; Isa. 12:6, 31:4, 9.

7. I will declare the decree: [d] the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; [5] this day have I begotten thee.

[d] See App. 47.

[5] This is to settle who the “king” (vs. 6) is going to be. God Almighty tells you it’s going the be His “Son” (Heb. 1:5). Every Moslem will swear God never had a son (see App. 50).

8. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. [6] [e]

[6] John Paton, the great missionary to the New Hebrides Islands, claimed this verse for his ministry. That’s fine if God is willing to honor it when you apply it to win souls, but the verse has nothing to do with anybody getting saved or converted.  It has to do with Jesus Christ establishing a military dictatorship over the remnants of the United Nations during the Millennium. What is written takes precedence over what you think or feel. 

[e] Literal (Zech. 14:9; Psa. 19:1-6, 97:1-5, 67:4, 47:8; Isa. 60:12; Ezek. 43:9; etc).

9. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; [f] thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

[f] Rev. 2:27, 12:5, 19:15.

10. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. [7]

[7] This is a 3,000 year old warning to the United Nations, as well as the “International Court of Justice” with its “judges” (Psa. 98:9). The UN “judges” are going to be judged (James 5:9; App. 63).

11. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. [g]

[g] Phil. 2:12.

12. Kiss the Son, [h] 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.

[h] They’ll be kissing HIs feet (Psa. 72:9; Luke 7:45).

 RRB notes on Psalm 32

Psalms 32 KJV

A Psalm of David, Maschil

1. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. [1]

[1] Verses 1-2 are quoted by Paul in Romans 4:7-8 in reference to New Testament salvation. They are used by all the apostate Fundamentalists to prove that men in the Old Testament were saved by “looking forward to the cross” and in the New Testament by “looking back”; therefore, they’re identical “salvations.” Of course, this is just unscriptural rubbish. The Old Testament sins were “covered,” but they were not “redeemed” (Heb. 9:15). They were “forgiven,” but God did not “clear the guilty” (Exod. 34:7). Their iniquities and sins were not “taken away” (Heb. 10:4). The verse is a prophecy, although, of course, it would always apply to all minor children. God imputed enough iniquity to David to scare him into thinking he might lose the Holy Spirit (Psa. 51:11) and then made him pay four lives for the life of one man *(see note on 2 Sam. 12:6).

3. When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

4. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

5. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. [a] Selah.

[a] Psalm 51:1-3

6. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods [b] of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

[b] “Floods” here is different from that of Psa. 29:10. This one is the “flood” of Dan. 9:26; Rev. 12:15-16.

7. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

8. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee [c] with mine eye.

[c] Eminently practical. God will “instruct,” “teach,” and “guide” a man.

9. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: [2] whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

[2] Instead of having “horse sense,” the Lord says the horse hasn’t got any sense. He’ll charge into automatic weapon fire; he will not lie still long enough to heal a broken leg; he’ll kill his own master accidentally by kicking him; if he gets scared he’ll buck and throw any rider (and he can be scared by a butterfly or a rolling hat); and a runaway horse hitched to a buckwagon or stagecoach doesn’t have enough sense even to slow down. A mule has more sense than that – but not much more. On a grave north of Rome, you can find a stone slab set up by the United States Army in 1945, after World War II. It says, “Here lies Peggy, an Army mule, who, before she expired, kicked one General, two Colonels, one Major, three Captains, four Lieutenants, and one land mine.”

10. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

11. Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

*Note on 2 Sam. 12:6

2 Samuel 12:6 KJV

And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, [1] because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.

[1] Notice that David can quote half of one verse in the Old Testament, by memory, without looking it up (Exod. 22:1). Four lambs have to be paid back. The four lambs are people, just like Bathsheba was “people.” The first lamb to go is the baby (2 Sam. 12:18). The second lamb to go is “Amnon” (2 Sam. 13:29). The third lamb to go is “Absalom” (2 Sam. 18:15). And the fourth one is David’s nephew, “Amasa” (2 Sam. 20:10). 

By a wild coincidence, these four “lamb payments” match David’s sin. One had to deal with sex with a woman (the baby died), one had to do with murder by a pretended friend (Amasa), another one had to do with getting killed during combat (Absalom), and one had to do with abandoning a man so he would get killed (Amnon). “You reap what you sow.”
