No more Mr. Nice Guy???

Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying,
“Let us burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
“As for me, I have set my King
on Zion, my holy hill.”
I will tell of the decree:
The LORD said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your possession.
You shall break them with a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”
Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
Serve the LORD with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
(Psalm 2 ESV)
This Promised Messiah, the King on the throne, the Son of God, is many things... including Judge.  He has every branch of Government in the Kingdom covered. He speaks God's will; He rules to enforce it; He represents God to His people, and His people to God; and He is the ultimate judge of leaders, nations, and people.  Mankind will not tolerate such total power, because we know what we are like with a little power: it goes to our head and we abuse it.   But here is the difference: He is great and good. He really does care about what is best for us. He is worthy and qualified to do it all.  The bottom line is this: we either submit to His rule and judgement, or we give it over to someone much less qualified and righteous. Then we lose. Instead, "Blessed are all who take refuge in Him."
