Why do the heathen rage against God?

Psalm 2 poses the question, 'Why do the heathen rage?' This rage is rooted in the corruption of the human heart, which is naturally inclined to rebel against God. Men often conspire against the Lord and His anointed because they refuse to acknowledge His sovereignty. Just as the nations conspired against Christ in the New Testament, so today, humanity continues to resist God's rule. This rebellion is foolish since it ultimately leads to their destruction, as demonstrated in the Scripture where the Lord laughs at their attempts to defy Him. The reality is that all who oppose Him will face His wrath and judgment unless they turn in repentance to Christ.
