Psalms 2:4-6

God Will Laugh At Man's Folly And Exalt His Anointed.

‘He who sits in the heavens will laugh,

The Lord will have them in derision,

Then will he speak to them in his wrath,

And vex them in his sore displeasure (‘fiery wrath').

“Yet have I set my king,

Upon my holy hill of Zion”.'

But God will laugh at the folly of man in thinking that they can dismiss Him. For in spite of their opposition as so vividly described above He will yet set His King upon His holy hill of Zion. It is true that when the King presented Himself in Mark 11:1 and parallels, He was rejected by all but a few, and once they had crucified Him they thought that they were rid of Him, but it was He Who had the last laugh, for He rose again from the dead, was enthroned and acclaimed in Heaven (e.g. Acts 2:36; Acts 7:56; Ephesians 1:19; Revelation 5), and came down at Pentecost in wind and fire in order to establish His claim to Kingly Rule (Acts 2:1; compare Matthew 28:18), the Holy Spirit bearing Him witness (Acts 2:4). On that very holy hill of Zion that God had promised His Kingly Rule was manifested. The Kingly Rule of God had come with power (Mark 9:1).
