Mankind has conspired to lock God out of the picture since the beginning of time. In this messianic psalm, the nations are warned to serve God because ultimate judgment has been entrusted to Christ. In verse 2, the English word "Messiah" is a transliteration of the Hebrew word here translated "Anointed." The anointed one referred to in this verse is probably a king of Israel, who prophetically is a type of Christ, the true Anointed One. When Christ was alive, the rules conspired to crucify Him upon a cross. In our day the nations still rage and people continue to plot vain things against Jesus Christ in education, media, government, and business is a spiritual conspiracy against the Messiah.
