Yes, according to Psalms 2, Christ's kingdom will encompass the whole earth and all the nations, not just Israel.
Psalm 2:8 says the Father will give the Son 'the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.' Les Feldick emphasizes that this means the kingdom is not limited to Israel but includes the whole human race on earth. The kingdom will be centered on God's holy hill of Zion (Psalm 2:6) and will come after the rejection, derision, and tribulation described in the same psalm.
Psalm 2:8 — This verse directly answers the question by showing the nations and the uttermost parts of the earth are given to Christ as His inheritance and possession.
Psalm 2:6 — This verse places the King on God's holy hill of Zion, showing where the worldwide kingdom will be centered.
Psalm 2 describes the LORD's anointed King receiving universal dominion. After the nations and rulers set themselves against the LORD and His anointed (Psalm 2:2), God speaks in His wrath and vexes the rebellious rulers (Psalm 2:5). Then He declares, 'Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion' (Psalm 2:6). The scope of the King's rule is stated in Psalm 2:8: 'Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.' Parallel passages confirm the same worldwide scope. Daniel 2:35 says the stone that smote the image 'became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth,' and Zechariah 14:9 states, 'And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.' Thus Scripture presents the kingdom as encompassing the whole earth, with its center at Zion.
Les Feldick teaches that Psalm 2 lays out the prophetic timeline and the worldwide scope of Christ's kingdom. He points to Psalm 2:8 and says this means it is not just an Israeli or Jewish kingdom, but one that includes the whole human race. The kingdom is on earth, not heaven, because God gives Christ the uttermost parts of the earth for His possession. Les also explains the sequence in Psalm 2: the rejection of the Messiah, His ascension to the Father's right hand, an indeterminate period while the nations are in derision, then the seven-year tribulation, and finally the King being set upon Zion. In Daniel 2, he highlights that the stone kingdom fills the whole earth, not just Palestine. He describes the coming kingdom as physical, glorious, peaceful, and worldwide, with Christ ruling politically over the planet and no want, poverty, famine, curse, or sin. Les further notes that Psalm 2's outline has no place for the Church Age, because the Church was a secret hidden in the mind of God until He revealed it.
Yes. Psalm 2:8 explicitly says the Father will give the Son 'the heathen' (Gentiles) for an inheritance and 'the uttermost parts of the earth' for a possession. Les Feldick makes this same point, saying the kingdom will not just be an Israeli or Jewish kingdom but will include the whole human race.
Psalm 2:6 says the King is set upon God's holy hill of Zion. Les Feldick teaches that this means the kingdom will be centered in Jerusalem, where Zion is. At the same time, the kingdom's boundaries extend to the uttermost parts of the earth, as Daniel 2:35 shows the stone becoming a mountain that filled the whole earth.
According to Les Feldick's teaching, Psalm 2 and Psalm 110 give the order: the Messiah is rejected and crucified, then He ascends to the Father's right hand. After an indeterminate period, the nations are in derision; then comes the seven-year tribulation, described in Psalm 2:5 as wrath and vexation. After that, the King is set upon Zion and the kingdom begins.
Les Feldick teaches that the kingdom will cover the whole earth, not just Palestine. It will be a physical kingdom that is also glorious and spiritual, with no curse and no sin. There will be tremendous productivity, no want, no poverty, and no famine. It will also be political, because Christ will rule over the whole planet. Les connects this to Zechariah 14, where the LORD will be King over all the earth and survivors of all nations will remain.
The Prophetic Sequence in Psalms
Les shows that Psalm 2 and Psalm 110 place Christ's rejection first, then His ascension to the Father's right hand, followed by an indeterminate period, derision, and seven years of tribulation before the King is installed.
The Worldwide Inheritance of the King
Les explains that Psalm 2:8 gives the Messiah the heathen as His inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth as His possession, so the kingdom includes the whole human race and is on earth, not heaven.
Psalm 2 Outline: Tribulation Then Zion
Les identifies Psalm 2:5 as the tribulation and Psalm 2:6 as the kingdom being set up on Mount Zion in Jerusalem.
Daniel's Stone Fills the Whole Earth
Les emphasizes Daniel 2:35's 'whole earth' wording, showing the stone kingdom is not limited to the land of Israel but becomes a kingdom filling the entire earth.
The Missing Church Age in Psalm 2
Les notes that Psalm 2's outline goes from tribulation to the kingdom without mentioning the Church Age, because the Church was a secret hidden in God until He revealed it.
Daniel 2 Explained: The Stone Kingdom That Fills the Earth
So the kingdom is all three wrapped up together, but it's still the one and only kingdom. All right, now then if you'll come back to Daniel with me. So as Christ the stone smites all these metals that make up this image, beginning with the feet, and they become like the dust or the chaff of a threshing floor that the wind can just blow away.
King Over All the Earth
Les quotes Zechariah 14 to show that the LORD will be King over all the earth and that survivors of all nations that came against Jerusalem will remain.
A Physical, Worldwide Kingdom
Les describes the coming kingdom as covering the whole earth, productive and glorious, with no want, poverty, famine, curse, or sin, and with Christ ruling politically over the planet.
Psalm 2:2: The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
This verse shows the rejection of the Messiah that Psalm 2 begins with, setting the stage for the King's later worldwide rule.
Psalm 2:5: Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Selah.
Les identifies this verse as the tribulation that precedes the setting up of Christ's kingdom.
Psalm 2:6: Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
This places the King on Zion, the center from which the worldwide kingdom will be established.
Psalm 2:8: Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
This is the key verse showing the kingdom will encompass the nations and the farthest parts of the earth.
Daniel 2:35: Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Daniel's parallel prophecy confirms that Christ's kingdom will fill the whole earth, not just Israel.
Zechariah 14:9: And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
This verse further supports the worldwide scope of Christ's kingdom, as Les connects it to the coming King ruling over all nations.
Isaiah 2:4: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Les refers to this passage to show the peace and productivity of the earthly kingdom that will cover the whole earth.
No. Psalm 2:8 says the Father gives the Son 'the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.' Les Feldick concludes this means it is not just an Israeli or Jewish kingdom; it includes the whole human race.
It will be on earth. Psalm 2:8 says the uttermost parts of the earth are Christ's possession, and Les Feldick stresses this is an earthly kingdom. Daniel 2:35 also describes the stone kingdom filling the whole earth.
According to Les Feldick's reading of Psalm 2, Christ was rejected and then ascended to the Father's right hand. After an indeterminate period, the nations fall into derision, then comes the seven-year tribulation, and finally the King is set upon Zion and the kingdom begins.
