Psalm 2 is a divine announcement — a heavenly decree that demands the worldâs attention. It begins with a question: âWhy do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?â (Ps. 2:1). The nations rise up, not against injustice or tyranny, but against the rule of Godâs Meshiach (Messiah). That Anointed is Yeshua — the Son whom the Father has set on His holy hill in Zion (Ps. 2:6). The psalm strips away all pretense and exposes the heart of human rebellion: it is a refusal to be ruled by His Messiah.

Psalm 1 opens with a sobering warning about the quiet, deadly slide into sin. The man without God doesnât become a scorner overnight — he drifts there gradually. First, he walks in ungodly counsel, entertaining worldly thoughts. Then, he stands in the path of sinners, embracing their way of life. Finally, he sits in the seat of the scornful, hardened in heart and mocking what is sacred.

The Hebrew letter mem, equivalent to our English letter âM,â has a fascinating characteristic: it has two forms. The “open mem” appears at the beginning or middle of a word, with a small opening in its design. The “closed mem,” however, is used exclusively as the final letter in a word, fully sealed in its appearance. This distinction is consistent throughout the Hebrew languageâexcept for one extraordinary exception found in the Bible.

Continuing from yesterday concerning storms; not sure we can place Noah’s flood, a worldwide conflagration, in that category, but if there really is such a thing as a “Perfect Storm”, that was…and Noah and his family were, anyway, prepared. And it’s been said that we are in the recapitulated, “Days of Noah”; [Matthew 24:37].
