Verse of the Week: Psalm 2:12

“Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”

Psalm 2 presents Yeshua not merely as a suffering servant, but as the coming King who will rule the nations from Zion. The rulers of the earth may resist His authority, construct their own systems, and imagine that history belongs to them, but Scripture declares that Yeshua will have the final word.

To “kiss the Son” is to submit to Yeshua, honor Him, and recognize His rightful authority. This is not only a warning for kings and political leaders. It is a call to every believer. Our confidence cannot rest in governments, financial institutions, military power, or human strategies. Every earthly kingdom is temporary, but the kingdom of Yeshua will endure forever.

Submission to Yeshua must also be demonstrated through obedience. Yeshua did not come to lead His people away from the instructions of Yehovah. He perfectly walked in Torah and called His disciples to lives of righteousness, faithfulness, mercy, justice, and holiness. Torah observance is not a means of earning salvation. It is the response of a redeemed people who love Yehovah, honor His covenant, and desire to walk as Yeshua walked.

Biblical prophecy should therefore produce faithfulness rather than fear. The world may grow increasingly unstable, but Yeshua is not struggling to gain control. Yehovah has already appointed Him as King. Those who oppose Him will face judgment, while those who take refuge in Him are called blessed. Those who await His kingdom should be preparing now by obeying Yehovah’s commandments, rejecting lawlessness, and remaining faithful to the testimony of Yeshua.

So, this week, examine where your confidence rests and whether your daily life reflects submission to Yeshua. Study the scriptures, obey what Yehovah has revealed, practice justice and mercy, honor His appointed times, and reject the idea that grace gives us permission to disregard His instructions. Remain faithful, live with expectancy, and take refuge in the Son, because His kingdom is coming and His rule will never end.
