Messianic Prophesy and Trinitarian Proof: Psalm 2

Psalm 2 is widely viewed by Jewish scholars as a messianic psalm, and first-century Christians believed the messiah to whom the Psalm refers was Jesus (some at the risk of their own lives!). While scholars who deny Jesus Christ may quibble over the translations, particularly of verse 12 (e.g., Hebrew vs. Aramaic translation of "son"), the fulfillments in the NT make it clear that this is a messianic psalm.

As with all scriptures inspired by God the Holy Spirit, Psalm 2 records the conversation that took place between God the Father and God the Son (the Anointed or Messiah or Christ).
 

OT PROPHESY	NT FULFILLMENT
1. Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 2. The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD (God the Father) and against his Anointed (God the Son), saying, 3. “Let us burst Their (plural) bonds apart and cast away Their (plural) cords from us.”	Psalm 2 is quoted in the believer’s prayer (Acts 4: 23-28) and clearly states that Jesus Christ is the Anointed prophesized in Psalm 2:1. “For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your (God the Father) holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever Your hand and Your plan had predestined to take place”.
4. He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord [Adonai – God the Holy Spirit] holds them in derision.	See also Psalm 110: 5-6
6. “As for Me (God the Father), I have set my King (God the Son) on Zion, My holy hill.”	He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God (God the Father) will give to him the throne of his father David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” Luke 1:32-33
7. I (God the Son) will tell of the decree: The LORD (God the Father) said to Me, You are My Son; today I have begotten You.	“This is my beloved Son” Matthew 03:17   5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”? 6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God's angels worship him.” Hebrews 1:5-6   And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers, this He has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm,   “You are my Son, today I have begotten you.” Acts 13:29-33
12. Kiss the Son (God the Son), lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him (God the Son).	31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name. John 20:31
