24. Twenty Two. (I have anointed my king upon Zion, the mountain of my holiness. I will tell of the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, This day have I begotten thee. Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the bounds of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, for His anger will burn up quickly. Happy are all they that trust in Him (Ps. 2:6-12). "His anger will burn up quickly," signifies the Last Judgment from Himself.) (Thou hast made him to be a little less than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet (Ps. 8:5, 6, 7).) (The rulers take counsel together against Jehovah and His Christ. I have anointed my king over Zion. I will tell of the decree: Jehovah hath said unto Me, Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten thee. Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for Thine inheritance, and the bounds of the earth for Thy possession. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, for His anger will burn up quickly. Blessed are all they that trust in Him (Ps. 2:2, 6, 7, 8, 12).) (Jehovah, Thou hast made him to be a little less than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet, etc. (Ps. 8:6, 7 seq).) Lift up your heads, O gate, and be ye lift up, ye doors of the world, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle (Ps. 24:7-10).
