Psalms 2:8

These words forever remove the possibility that this prophecy is a reference to King David, except in the limited sense that he was indeed a Biblical type of our Lord. Zechariah 9:9-10 also indicated the universal reign of Messiah.

Of course, it is not a literal earthly kingship of Jesus Christ over worldly nations that is indicated here. Christ emphatically repudiated that kind of kingship during his earthly ministry; and those who expect him yet to be that kind of king are simply grossly mistaken. Christ's universal reign on earth is achieved in the truth that all over the world throughout the ages there are devout and faithful souls who love and serve him, who have become members of his "kingdom that cannot be shaken" and who alone shall stand redeemed in that day when God shall settle accounts with the wicked and cast evil out of his universe.
