In this sermon on Psalm 2:1–12 titled “Why Do the Heathen Rage?” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preaches that Scripture always speaks to the precise position in which one finds themselves today. Realize first that in and of themselves, no one can do anything. Christians must pray to God that He might pour out His Spirit in a manner that it might be irresistible. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains how the second Psalm describes this present position. This world is a state of organized insanity and confusion. “Pride of man and earthly glory, sword and crown betray its trust, what with care and trial he buildeth, tower and temple fall to dust.” In this modern world, one must go back and read the instructions from the Maker; otherwise, there is no hope. The cause of troubles and unhappiness is due to human sin. This is not simply weakness in human nature; it is a willful act and hatred against God. God looks upon humankind in wrath as they oppose both His law and love. Love manifested in the death of His own Son. God’s final appeal is to be wise, serving Him with fear, and rejoicing with trembling.
