Psalms 2:6
“As for me, I have set my King
on Zion, my holy hill.”
Tag: God is Sovereign
In Psalm 2 we have the prophetic words of the King of Israel, as well as the King of the Universe, God. In the above passage we see that God is speaking and declares the HE has “set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” Zion is Jerusalem and God has “set” the king He wants in authority in Jerusalem. This verse speaks to the sovereign rule of God over nations; in this case, over Israel. Note what will be written in a later Psalm:
Psalms 75:7
but it is God who executes judgment,
putting down one and lifting up another.
Note, also, what Daniel recorded:
Daniel 2:21-22
He changes times and seasons;
he removes kings and sets up kings;
he gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to those who have understanding;
he reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what is in the darkness,
and the light dwells with him.
Authority in this world is set by God. No king, ruler or leader is where they are without God’s approval and God’s appointment. We can rest in assurance that no matter the system of governance, we can be assured that God is ultimately in charge and God, supremely, works His plans through the systems man believes he has created. God has “set” His king ... we can rest in this blessed truth.
