"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His Anointed (i.e., Christ)... Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron" (Psalm 2:1,2). "If it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it, lest haply ye be found even to fight against God" (Acts 5:39).
Why indeed would nations fight
Against our awesome God?
He shall put them all to flight,
And break them with His rod.
Why would nations entertain
A war that can't be won?
They rage and plan, but all in vain;
Their counsel is undone.
Why are nations so unwise
In sizing up this war,
Deceiving and deceived by lies
That never worked before?
Why are sinners not inclined
To joyfully surrender,
While God is calling them to find
In Christ a sure Defender?
Why? The question is profound
That probes the rebel's thought.
Yet Christ shall nonetheless be crowned,
And bring their war to nought.
