The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.(Psalm 2:1-2)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Watching the way President Obama, Mayor Bloomberg and other assorted Religious , media and political leaders took their stand \u00a0with those seeking to install a Mosque on the site of the worst mass murder of American citizens in history, has been instructive.<\/p>\n<p>About 80 percent of the American people think it is an outrage of biblical proportions, to install what amounts to a monument to victory over the infidels, at ground zero. What does it mean then that the movers and shakers in politics and media support the so called \u201cCordoba project\u201d at the same rate?<\/p>\n<p>The penny dropped when the plight of an Orthodox church which was destroyed at the same site came to light. After 9 years, St Nicholas church has been run through a zoning purgatory and has yet to be given leave to rebuild! The Mosque has been rubber stamped, fast-tracked but for the negative publicity. The church which was destroyed by 9-11 is in the doldrums.<\/p>\n<p>Then I remembered the Word of the Lord, the second Psalm , which predicts a time of worldwide confusion and breakdown.\u00a0<em>The Heathen rage<\/em>\u2026 That is , the nations are in an uproar.\u00a0<em>The people Imagine a vain thing.<\/em>..The minds of the people have been emptied, they chase vanity, they cling to an empty ideal. And the question is \u00a0Why?<\/p>\n<p><em>The answer is that The Kings of the earth and their Rulers\u2026(<\/em>Not just the political class, but all of the opinion shapers, pundits, the leaders in Education, Media and respectable religion) \u00a0<em>Have taken counsel against the Lord and His Christ\u2026\u00a0<\/em>When did they take this counsel ?<\/p>\n<p>Most likely they did when they went to University, or even earlier, they were steeped in an anti-christian worldview, they rejected the western consensus, especially the contribution of Christianity to this greatest civilization the world has ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>The West has a culture, developed over thousands of years, whose roots are twofold, Greco-Roman and Judeo Christian. But a culture cannot be maintained without a cultus, the germ of the culture, the spirituality of it, which is Judeo Christianity.<\/p>\n<p>What \u00a0the contrast between the \u201cCordoba Mosque\u201d and St Nicholas Orthodox church has shown, is that the \u201cKings of the earth and their rulers,\u201d are doing everything they can to neutralise the christian element, silencing it wherever possible, stifling it, relegating it to just one of thousands of other religions any of which is as valid , if not more so, than the professed religion of most of this nation.<\/p>\n<p>How else do we explain the nonsensical and vastly unpopular immigration policies of western nations such as Great Britain, the Netherlands, and the USA ? Flooding once civilized societies with millions of assimilable immigrants, such as Muslims, literally importing hostile populations who loathe their hosts in spite of the generous welfare benefits which they enroll in.It doesn\u2019t make sense!<\/p>\n<p>But it has to do with change, for these \u201ckings and rulers\u201d \u00a0hate the West as it is, and seek to obliterate it\u2019s distinctive traditions, especially it\u2019s religious heritage,in order to pursue what David prophesied \u00a0as \u201c<strong>The Vain Imagination\u201d<\/strong>, which is a humanistic, godless,utopia.<\/p>\n<p>The Muslims, with their hypersensitivity which only runs one way, are ideal \u201cchange agents\u201d, perfect for the task of wiping away the remnant public expressions of our Christian societal influence.<\/p>\n<p>Every time an American meat packing house is forced to change it\u2019s hours for Ramadan, or an airport installs at public expense a foot bath for Muslim a cab driver , or in this case a Mosque is erected on the same site as the worst massacre on American soil, the heart of the nation is demoralised. Is this what they mean by death by a thousand cuts?<\/p>\n<p>The Counsel, that the Kings of the earth have taken is described as the casting off of the shackles of the religion of God and Christ-(Judeo Christianity)-<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cLet us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Remember Obama proudly proclaiming to the Muslim world that America is no longer a christian nation? Obama is only the most blatant of them.<\/p>\n<p>This explains another riddle, how do the champions of abominations such as \u201cGay marriage\u201d and abortion, find common cause with Wahabi Muslims who if given the power would behead the Homo\u2019s first of all?? The answer is in the old Arab proverb- the enemy of my enemy is my friend-(for now).<\/p>\n<p><em>The kings of the earth and their rulers,<\/em>\u00a0side with Islam, in fact they have used Islam, because although Islam and they are at polar opposites in every other respect, they have one over-riding thing in common, they seek to overthrow the God of the Judeo Christian west,and obliterate the culture that grew out of such a faith.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t end well folks, buckle your seat belts and read the rest of the second Psalm!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A COMMENTARY BY BILL RANDLES&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":69,"featured_media":21628,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[122,165,45],"tags":[59,2919,2940,389,390],"class_list":["post-4906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-a-global-spirituality","category-spiritual-deception-defending-the-faith","category-signs-of-the-times","tag-america","tag-signs-of-the-times","tag-islam","tag-world-events","tag-christianity","wpcat-122-id","wpcat-165-id","wpcat-45-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What the Kings of the earth have done\u2026Psalm 2 - A Commentary - From the Lighthouse<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/what-the-kings-of-the-earth-have-donepsalm-2-a-commentary\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"What the Kings of the earth have done\u2026Psalm 2 - A Commentary\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A COMMENTARY BY BILL RANDLES...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/what-the-kings-of-the-earth-have-donepsalm-2-a-commentary\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"From the Lighthouse\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LighthouseTrailsResearch\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2010-08-28T12:04:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-09-07T19:12:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Solomons_Wealth_and_Wisdom-e1788808318527.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"773\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"484\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Bill Randles\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@LTrails\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@LTrails\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Bill Randles\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\\\/blog\\\/what-the-kings-of-the-earth-have-donepsalm-2-a-commentary\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\\\/blog\\\/what-the-kings-of-the-earth-have-donepsalm-2-a-commentary\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Bill Randles\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/9fd928c9d6d9541244162f19530c78ec\"},\"headline\":\"What the Kings of the earth have done\u2026Psalm 2 &#8211;
