What does Psalm 2:5 prophesy about God's wrath after the Messiah is rejected?
Psalm 2:5 prophesies that after the Messiah is rejected and killed, God will speak to both Israel and the nations in His wrath. This refers to the final seven-year tribulation, when He will vex them in His sore displeasure before Christ reigns from Zion.
Les explains that after the nations and Israel rejected and crucified the Messiah, Psalm 2:5 turns to God speaking to them—both the nations of the world and Israel—in His wrath. He identifies this as the prophecy concerning the final seven years of tribulation, when God will vex them in His sore displeasure. The next event in the prophecy is God setting His King on the holy hill of Zion—Jerusalem, just south of the Temple Mount—from which Christ will rule during His thousand-year reign.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
