THIS HAS GREAT RESOURCES FOR BIBLE STUDY.
The verse Psalms 2:12 in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible reads:
"Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him."
This verse is part of a larger psalm that deals with God's anointed king (believed by many to be prophetic of the Messiah) and the proper response to his rule. Here's a breakdown of its meaning:
1. "Kiss the Son" - This is a call to show homage, submission, and reverence to the Son (understood by Christians as Jesus Christ). In ancient Near Eastern culture, kissing was a sign of submission to a ruler.
2. "Lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way" - This warns of the consequences of not submitting to the Son's authority. The implication is that rejection of the Son's rule can lead to destruction.
3. "When his wrath is kindled but a little" - This suggests that even a small amount of the Son's anger is significant and should be avoided.
4. "Blessed are all they that put their trust in him" - The verse concludes with a promise of blessing for those who trust in and rely on the Son.
In Christian interpretation, this verse is often seen as an admonition to acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah and submit to his authority, with the warning that rejection could lead to judgment and the promise that acceptance leads to blessing.
It's worth noting that interpretations can vary among different religious traditions and scholars. If you'd like a more in-depth analysis or alternative interpretations, I suggest reading the study materials on this page.
