Psalms 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
[3] A fool in the Bible is one who is stupid enough to pick a fight with God, something that we as mortals should never, ever do. If folks have to fight, let it be against another human being like ourselves, or even satan, but try your very best to avoid picking a fight with God. In other words, when mortals deliberately decide to set themselves in array against the revealed will of God, they can lose their minds, and become like the king of Babylon, whose stubborn resistance drove him to insanity for seven long years.
Acts 5: 34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; 35 And said unto them, You men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do as touching these men. 38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel, or this work be of men, it will come to naught. 39 But if it be of God, you Cannot overthrow it; lest haply you be found even to fight against God.
All three of the previous descriptions of a fool were to be found in the pharaoh of Egypt during the time when the children of Israel were then enslaved by the one, who is generally believed to be Amenhotep or Ramses 2. He regarded himself as being divine and history tells us that he accepted worship from his subjects, and therefore, when Moses and Aaron came in with the command from Yahweh to let the children of Israel go, he viewed the command as coming from a much inferior god, and he became deeply offended.
Psalms 2:4 He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
