In Psalm 2, does the tribulation lead directly to the kingdom without a church-age interlude?
No. Psalm 2 moves from the tribulation, described as God vexing them in His sore displeasure, directly to the kingdom, where God sets His King on the holy hill of Zion. The text provides no interlude for the church between those events.
Les explains that the psalmist continues the prophetic program: after God vexes them in His sore displeasure—the tribulation—the next event is the kingdom, when He sets His King on the holy hill of Zion. Les asks whether there is any interlude for the church, and answers no, it is not in the text. He adds that the Old Testament says nothing of the parenthetical period of time now known as the church age.
