God's Anointed King

God has placed His chosen King on the throne in Zion, and the nations must either submit to His rule or face His judgment. In the same way, Jesus is the Son and true King whom God has set over all creation, and every nation is called to bow before Him. Human rebellion against God will always fail, but His rule can never be shaken. Salvation is found only in surrendering to Christ. In a world where sinful rulers rise and fall, we need a righteous King whose kingdom will never collapse. In this psalm, the King is first seen as the anointed son of David—but through the unfolding of God’s plan, the New Testament reveals Him fully as Jesus Christ, the Lord of all.
