Meditations for Holy Week from Handel's Messiah
Saturday, March 22, 2008 at 06:00AM Why do the nations so furiously rage together?
Psalm 2:1,2 (Acts 4:25-26)
Why do the heathen rage, and why do the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth rise up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His Anointed,
Let us break their bonds asunder
Psalm 2:3
Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their yokes from us.
He that dwelleth in heaven
Psalm 2:4
He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn; the Lord shall have them in derision.
Thou shalt break them
Psalm 2:9
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Hallelujah
Revelation 19:6
Hallelujah! for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Revelation 11:15
. . . the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ: and He shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 19:16
. . . KING OF KINGS, LORD OF LORDS.
