As we looked at Babylon and the corruption of Yahweh’s world system we find that Solomon had some simple wisdom that if leaders of nations had known we could have had prosperity instead of so much hardship. What we see however is that there are earthly rulers and there are spiritual rulers and both play a part in the way nations that succeed. As Moses told us, the nations were divided and their borders were set according to the number of angels. Even though that is Yahweh’s plan, there is another individual who rules over the world and the air. This individual is a usurper and has already been judged. Some people are confused as to who is in charge and also confused about rank and order in Yahweh’s creation. But while the evil spiritual beings want to kill Yahweh’s Messiah and they stir up the people against Jesus, Jesus is the chief ruler. Let’s explore.
Deuteronomy 32:8 G3753 When G1266 [3divided 5into parts G3588 1the G5310 2highest G1484 4nations], G5613 as G1289 he disseminated G5207 the sons G* of Adam, G2476 he set G3725 the borders G1484 of nations G2596 according to G706 the number G32 of the angels G2316 of God;
With this in mind let’s look at Solomon’s words.
Proverbs 14:27 G4366.2 The order G2962 of the lord G4077 is a spring G2222 of life, G4160 and it causes one G1161 G1578 to turn aside G1537 from G3803 the snare G2288 of death.

δυνάστης
dunastēs doo-nas'-tace From G1410; a ruler or officer KJV Usage: of great authority, mighty, potentate.
The word translated mighty one, dunastēs, is usually translated “prince”. In an earthly view we see this wisdom in our own lives. The nations that live in abundance and are blessed glorify their king or ruler. The nations that live in want, that struggle in misery and hardship, will destroy their king or ruler. This is evident in every country worldwide. But if we look at the entire world in general, we see overall struggle, misery, and suffering. Who is in charge? Who is the spiritual leader in charge over the world? Let’s look at these two verses again.
Proverbs 14:27 N-NSN προσταγμα G2962 N-GSM κυριου G4077 N-NSF πηγη G2222 N-GSF ζωης G4160 V-PAI-3S ποιει G1161 PRT δε G1578 V-PAN εκκλινειν G1537 PREP εκ G3803 N-GSF παγιδος G2288 N-GSM θανατου
“Commands Yahweh streams life manufacture but turn away from out of trap death.”
The commands of Yahweh make or manufacture streams of life. The commands of Yahweh are life giving. But to those who turn away from the commands of Yahweh they have a snare of death. Keep this in mind as we read the next verse.
Proverbs 14:28 G1722 PREP εν G4183 A-DSN πολλω G1484 N-DSN εθνει G1391 N-NSF δοξα G935 N-GSM βασιλεως G1722 PREP εν G1161 PRT δε N-DSF εκλειψει G2992 N-GSM λαου N-NSF συντριβη G1413 N-GSM δυναστου
“In plenteous ethnos glory king in but disappear/cease/extinct the people crush ruler.”
When the people are in plenty and they have much, they glorify the king, but if the people are dying, struggling, ceasing to exist, becoming extinct, the people crush the ruler. The idea of crushing the ruler is to break or beat into fragments.
While these are two separate ideas, they are also one. A nation that follows the commands of Yahweh is blessed with streams of life. A nation that rejects Yahweh’s commands will inevitably be in want, suffer, and cease to exist. The people will attribute their suffering to a bad leader as well. A bad leader who turns the nation away from Yahweh will only cause agony for the people. We studied Nimrod in Babylon who made it socially unacceptable to credit Yahweh with blessings. Instead Nimrod made people attribute their success to themselves and called it shameful to acknowledge Yahweh in their personal lives.
There is an additional layer of rulership, princedom, lordship that explains something simple. Who is the ruler or prince of this world and who is the coming prince of peace? First and foremost we have to remember that there is a prince of this world now and there is a coming prince of peace. When we see natural disasters and great loss of life we want to remember who the evil ruler is who keeps people from learning about and following Yahweh’s commands. This evil ruler is in charge of the air, the atmosphere. This means that the followers of Jesus Messiah are living in the enemies realm. Many times the followers of Jesus have bad earthy rulers over them. Those rulers are being led by Satanas. Now layer these two types of bad rulers, one earthly and one spiritual, and the nations cry in agony. The thin line we all live under on the earth is if a nation has two bad rulers it will not prosper and have abundance over all. The ones keeping the commands of Yahweh Elohim/Jesus Messiah will fare better, but may live among desperation and despair. If a nation has a good earthly ruler, even though Satanas is the evil spiritual ruler, the nation will have living waters, and people will be inspired to follow the commands of Yahweh Elohim/Jesus Messiah. Notice what David says.
Psalms 2:0 G5568 A psalm G3588 to G* David.
1 G2444 Why did G5433 [2neigh G1484 1nations], G2532 and G2992 peoples G3191 meditate upon G2756 vain things ?
“For what reason ethnos/nations snort (like a horse) and the laity they studied vanities.”
David writes about the nations, the ethnic groups. The fact that Israel had a national Elohim was a distinction between them and other ethnic groups. While some nations had their own gods, Israel was supposed to be worshipping the Elohim and living under a set of rules that made them moral and civilized. There was a moral law, a civil law, and a spiritual law for the people to follow. While the laws and commands seem like a burden they are only a burden when one lives outside these rules.
The nations pranced and snorted and the people imagined empty things because the kings watched as the rulers/princes/archōn gathered against Yahweh and against His anointed.
Psalms 2:2 G3936 [5stood by G3588 1The G935 2kings G3588 3of the G1093 4earth], G2532 and G3588 the G758 rulers G4863 gathered G2009.1 together G2596 against G3588 the G2962 lord G2532 and G2596 against G3588 G5547 his anointed one, G1473

ἄρχων
archōn ar'-khone Present participle of G757; a first (in rank or power) KJV Usage: chief (ruler), magistrate, prince, ruler.
Remember our previous studies on archōn. The word archon is also used for “spiritual rulers, principalities and powers”. Here David says that the people got worked up while the kings watched or were present, as the archōn convene against Yahweh and his Christos. The kings let demons influence the people orchestrated by the archon. We see world leaders who “look the other way” or even encourage the people to behave in evil ways.
“The kings the earth indeed present and the rulers convene against the his downward Yahweh and downward the his Christos chanting.”
In comparing the LXX-WH we see a few small changes in the text. The last word of this sentence seems to be missing; διαψαλμα meaning “chanting”. The kings and rulers chant downward against Yahweh and the Messiah. Why would the ethnic kings and rulers convene against Yahweh and the Messiah? Why would they chant about it? They are excited about vain studies and oppose Yahweh and the Messiah because they feel Yahweh brings them bondage.
Why do rulers/archōn convene against Yahweh and the Messiah? Yahweh and the Messiah are a threat to those who want to exploit the laity. Yahweh and the Messiah are the moral standard that we are all to live by. If we put the demon possessed in charge as our rulers then we get anti-Christ behaviors from them.
Every nation wrestles with this on earth. The spiritual rulers (the archōn) convene against Jesus Messiah while the kings let them stir up the people. The kings watch as the people are demonically influenced against Yahweh and his Christos. Didn’t this happen in Israel once? It also happens every time some of the nation’s people follow Yahweh Messiah.
Psalms 2:3 G1284 We should tear up G3588 G1199 their bonds, G1473 G2532 and G641 we should throw away G575 from G1473 us G3588 G2218 their yoke. G1473
“Let’s break in the ties his and reject away from us the his heavy burden.”
This is what the kings and rulers chant. They chant to break the ties and heavy burdens or the coupling with Yahweh. David’s question is why are they in a rage over this? Why are they rejecting Yahweh? Why do they think that they are bound and tied by Yahweh? They are not. They think that they are so they reject Yahweh, claiming that following Him brings a heavy burden. What burden? Sin. The things they wish to partake in are pointed out as sin and when sin is called out or exposed then it becomes a burden. In order to relieve the burden they reject Yahweh and the Messiah. If one rejects Yahweh and the Christ then that one has no burden of their own sins.
The kings of the earth and the rulers convene and decide to reject Yahweh and His Messiah (the future Messiah, Jesus) because their sins are a heavy burden when they live under the Elohim. The rules and laws of Jesus Messiah are very simple, ready?
Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mar 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Psalms 2:4 G3588 The G2730 one dwelling G1722 in G3772 heavens G1548.1 derides G1473 them, G2532 and G3588 the G2962 lord G1592 ridicules G1473 them.
“The resident in heaven laughs at them and the Yahweh mocks them.”
The ethnic nations cannot hide from Yahweh and neither can we. Do you think that Yahweh doesn’t know everyones secrets?
Psalms 2:5 G5119 Then G2980 he shall speak G4314 to G1473 them G1722 in G3709 his anger; G1473 G2532 and G1722 in G3588 G2372 his rage G1473 G5015 he will disturb G1473 them.
“At that time talk to them in his anger and in the his passion trouble them.”
Yahweh is angry with them and us. Are we any different?
Psalms 2:6 G1473 But I G1161 G2525 was placed G935 king G5259 by G1473 him G1909 over G* mount Zion, G3735 G3588 G39 his holy place; G1473
“But I established king under him, on Zion mountain the his holy.”
David was king in Zion. The next sentence belongs at the end of this statement.
Psalms 2:7 G1229 declaring G3588 the G4366.2 order G2962 of the lord . G2962 The lord G2036 said G4314 to G1473 me, G5207 [2my son G1473 G1510.2.2 1you are], G1473 G1473 I G4594 today G1080 engendered G1473 you.
“But I established king under him, on Zion mountain the his holy, announcing the command Yahweh.”
Next sentence:
“Yahweh said to me my son you exist (I am) I today bring forth you.”
David is the established king on Zion announcing the command of Yahweh. What is Yahweh’s command? Yahweh says to David that he, Yahweh, is “I Am” and he brings Christos forth. This is interesting because everyone knew who Moses talked to, it was I AM, or I exist that I exist.

I AM is bringing him, Christos, forth? Jesus the Christos says this:
John 8:58 G2036 [G5627] V-2AAI-3S ειπεν G846 P-DPM αυτοις G2424 N-NSM ιησους G281 HEB αμην G281 HEB αμην G3004 [G5719] V-PAI-1S λεγω G5213 P-2DP υμιν G4250 ADV πριν G11 N-PRI αβρααμ G1096 [G5635] V-2ADN γενεσθαι G1473 P-1NS εγω G1510 [G5748] V-PXI-1S ειμι

Jesus says “Before Abraham existed I AM.” This is a big statement. This is prophetic as to the Messiah. Some people misunderstand, believing that Yahweh is speaking of David, but David was not gennaō, procreated by Yahweh. Yahweh says to the Messiah, that today Christos is his son, he procreated him.
We have gone backwards in time. People do not want to be yoked to the Messiah and Yahweh. The context is the kings and rulers chanting against Yahweh and Christos. They do not want to be connected to them. They are rejecting them. Yahweh procreated Christos. David announced it. David has a kingdom in Israel, not the entire world. This is a huge announcement. David announced the Messiah to all of Israel and also tells us that the nations will reject him. Oddly, David’s song is about the kings and rulers rejecting the Messiah first, then about David telling everyone prophetically that Yahweh, I AM, procreated Christos. We now see Christos’ inheritance.
Clearly David is explaining that the current archōn of the world, the prince of the power of the air, is going to be thrown out and the new prince the Christos/Messiah is going to rule the world. David told us Christos, the Messiah, was coming and to follow his commands.
Psalms 2:8 G154 Ask G3844 from G1473 me! G2532 and G1325 I will give G1473 to you G1484 nations G3588 G2817 for your inheritance; G1473 G2532 and G3588 G2697 for your possession G1473 G3588 the G4009 ends G3588 of the G1093 earth.
“Ask in the presence of me and I give you ethnos/nations the your inheritance and the your possession the extremity the earth indeed.”
Who has a possession into the extremities of the earth? Who has the nations as an inheritance? Who is going to shepherd them? Christos.
Psalms 2:9 G4165 You shall tend G1473 them G1722 with G4464 a rod G4603 of iron; G5613 as G4632 vessels G2763 of a potter G4937 you shall break G1473 them.
“Shepherd them in rod made of iron that vessel potter crush them.”
Revelation 5:5 G2532 And G5088 she bore G5207 [2son G730 1a male] G3739 who G3195 is about G4165 to tend G3956 all G3588 the G1484 nations G1722 with G4464 a rod G4603 of iron; G2532 and G726 [2was snatched away G3588 G5043 1her child] G1473 G4314 to G3588 G2316 God, G2532 and G4314 to G3588 G2362 his throne. G1473
And again:
Revelation 19:15 G2532 And G1537 from out of G3588 G4750 his mouth G1473 G1607 goes forth G4501 [3broadsword G1366 2double-edged G3691 1a sharp], G2443 that G1722 with G1473 it G3960 he should strike G3588 the G1484 nations. G2532 And G1473 he G4165 shall tend G1473 them G1722 with G4464 a rod G4603 of iron. G2532 And G1473 he G3961 treads G3588 the G3025 wine vat G3588 of the G3631 wine G3588 of the G2372 rage G3588 of the G3709 wrath G3588 G2316 of God G3588 G3841 almighty
The Christos will rule the nations with a rod of iron. This is simple. The I Am procreates Christos, who will shepherd and rule the nations with a rod of iron. But today the nations do not want to be yoked to him. Sometimes the church does not want to be yoked with him either. So David admonishes the people.
Psalms 2:10 G2532 And G3568 now, G935 O kings, G4920 perceive! G3811 Let [6be instructed G3956 1all G3588 2the ones G2919 3judging G3588 4the G1093 5earth]!
“And even now kings understand educate all the judges the earth indeed.”
David thinks it wise to educate the judges on earth so that they can make right judgments regarding Yahweh and Christos. If 90% of the people of a nation were Christians it would be easy to educate judges on right judgments.
Psalms 2:11 G1398 Serve G3588 to the G2962 lord G1722 in G5401 fear, G2532 and G21 exult G1473 to him G1722 with G5156 trembling!
“Obey the Yahweh in fear and rejoice him in trembling.”
David instructs everyone to obey and rejoice.
Psalms 2:12 G1405 Grab G3809 instruction! G3379 lest at any time G3710 you should provoke the lord to anger, G2962 G2532 and G622 you shall perish G1537 from G3598 [2way G1342 1 the just], G3752 whenever G1572 [2should be kindled G1722 G5034 3quickly G3588 G2372 1his rage]. G1473 G3107 Blessed are G3956 all G3588 the ones G3982 yielding G1909 upon G1473 him.
“Grasp training and education, on no account enrage Yahweh and omitted from out of path righteous when burn out in quick the his wrath. Happy all the rely on him.”
David says to grasp education, not vain empty hollow studies. Don’t irritate Yahweh because we do not want to be cast off the path of righteousness and burn up in the wrath. When is his wrath? Revelation 6.

Psalms 33:10 G2962 The lord G1286.1 effaces G1012 plans G1484 of nations, G114 and he annuls G1161 G3053 devices G2992 of peoples, G2532 and G114 he annuls G1012 plans G758 of rulers.
“Yahweh amuses counsel/purposes ethnos but annul/reject calculations people and annuls/rejects calculations rulers.”
Yahweh is entertained by the plans of nations, they amuse him. Why? Because he knows what Satanas will do to influence the kings, princes, and people. Yahweh rejects the calculations of people and the calculations of spiritual rulers. Who can calculate what Yahweh knows and try to subvert His plans? We see this clearly in what took place at the tower of Babel and in what will take place at the end of the age, on the Day of the Lord. The Elohim is not worried over the last battle before the millennial kingdom begins. All kings, rulers, princes, and people will abide under Jesus Messiah’s rule, and he will rule with a rod of iron. There will be no other competing kingdom, rulership, or prince, on the earth. One Leader to rule all others, the anointed one, Christos/Messiah.
We understand that the entire purpose of the tribulation is to eliminate every kingdom contrary to Jesus Messiah. We should also understand that there will not be varying styles of governance or different systems of commerce, like capitalism versus socialism. All will be subject to Jesus.
Jesus told us that there was a ruler or prince of this world. We can see by the very definition that Satanas is an archōn. He has a rank but it is not a supreme rank over other sons of God. While Satanas is an archōn, ruler, Jesus is an archēgos, chief.
John 12:31 G3568 Now G2920 is judgment G1510.2.3 G3588 G2889 of this world; G3778 G3568 now G3588 the G758 ruler G3588 G2889 of this world G3778 G1544 shall be cast G1854 outside;
“Now a tribunal is the cosmos this now the archōn (chief ruler) the cosmos this ekballō (throw out) exō outside”.
Let’s see if there are any missing or obscure words.

“Now tribunal his the cosmos of now the archōn the cosmos of thrown out outside.
There are three word variations in this sentence. The word “is” in the AP might be “his” as per the LXX-WH. There is also two usages of the word “this” in the AP that may be the word “of” as per the LXX-WH. Now His tribunal of the cosmos. In context we are speaking of the voice from heaven. “Now His tribunal of the cosmos, now the ruler of the cosmos thrown out.” Jesus is saying that with his crucifixion comes the Father’s judgment of the cosmos and the god of the cosmos’s sentence is to be thrown out, outside. Satanas is not just going to be thrown out of the upper heaven as he already had been, but he is also going to be thrown out of the cosmos that he rules as well.
The word for judgment here is krisis, “a separating”. In this case it is separating the cosmos from the ruler of the cosmos.
We are living in the world that Satanas has already been judged in. Satanas is simply serving his term on the earth as ruler which he stole from the adam and then his sentence will begin. He will spend nearly one thousand years in the bottomless pit, only to be let out for a short time. Then after that time he will be devoured by fire that comes out of heaven, Revelation 20. This had not been prophesied until John. Jesus said that he would be thrown out, this means that there is no redemption for Satanas.

The prince/ruler/archōn of this world has had a judgment passed against him. He is between the sentencing phase and the going to jail phase in his existence. He is ordered to report to the abyss at the end of the age.

Satanas is an inferior ruler. He is not one who can create or procreate. He is a created being who rebelled against his creator. Moses warned us about the archōn. While the masoretic text attempted to distort Moses’ directive, the Septuagint preserved it.

Who is the archōn with authority over the air? The same one who works in the children of disobedience. If our city, town, state, or nation is being ruled by someone who is controlled by the archōn of evil we will certainly receive evil as a result. How could we not? The commands of Yahweh are streams of living waters.

The archōn of this age are being rendered useless. The word katargeō means kata “downward” and argeō “idle or unemployed”. We speak wisdom in the perfected or full grown. The archōn of this age are unemployed from heaven to earth. Why then are we, the people, employing them to be our spiritual overlords?
1 Corinthians 2:7 G235 But G2980 we speak G4678 wisdom G2316 of God G1722 in G3466 a mystery, G3588 the one G613 being concealed, G3739 which G4309 God predefined G3588 G2316 G4253 before G3588 the G165 eons G1519 for G1391 our glory; G1473
8 G3739 which G3762 not one G3588 of the G758 rulers G3588 G165 of this eon G3778 G1097 has known. G1487 For if G1063 G1097 they knew, G3756 [3not G302 2would G3588 5the G2962 6Lord G3588 G1391 7of glory G4717 1they 4have crucified].
Solomon spoke the wisdom of God in a mystery. He told us the commands of the Lord are streams of living water and the prosperous nations glorify their king while the poor struggling nations kill their princes. David spoke the wisdom of God in a mystery. He told us that the kings of the earth and the archōn convene against Yahweh’s Christos, chanting. David says that Yahweh laughs and is amused. The wisdom we speak is that the archōn of this world, Satanas, is judged and his archōn are unemployed. Had the archōn known, they would never have crucified the Christos, Messiah.

G3588 To the G25 one loving G1473 us, G2532 and G3068 bathing G1473 us G575 from G3588 G266 our sins G1473 G1722 in G3588 G129 his blood, G1473
6 G2532 and G4160 made G1473 us G932 a kingdom, G2409 priests G3588 to G2316 God, G2532 and G3962 to the father G1473 of him; G1473 to him G3588 be the G1391 glory G2532 and G3588 the G2904 might G1519 into G3588 the G165 eons G3588 of the G165 eons. G281 Amen.
Jesus is going to be the archōn of the kings of the earth. Today Satanas is the archōn of the kings of earth but the millennial kingdom is coming and Jesus will reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. All the archōn have their end on the Day of the Lord and Satanas is imprisoned in the abyss.
Jesus is not just an archōn like Satanas, he has always been an archēgos, an originator or chief leader. Jesus is the head. Peter calls Jesus the chief of life.

archēgos ar-khay-gos' From G746 and G71; a chief leader KJV Usage: author, captain, prince.
Jesus is the chief of life, chief of the living, chief life giver. Jesus Messiah is the author of life, the originator of zōē. Imagine what the people were thinking when Peter said this. He called out their sin. How did it happen? The Satanas orchestrated the murder by influencing the High Priest and Judas. The other archōn stirred up the people like mad horses, and the kings and priests stood by as the archōn conspired against Yahweh and His Christos.
The high priest arrested the apostles and then Peter tells them that Jesus is an Elohim, and chief, and savior.
Acts 5:31 G3778 This one -- G3588 G2316 God, G747 chief G2532 and G4990 deliverer, G5312 exalted G3588 by G1188 his right hand, G1473 G1325 to give G3341 repentance G3588 G* to Israel G2532 and G859 release G266 of sins.
“This person the Elohim chief/archēgos and savior raised up on the right hand he gives repentance the Israel and dismissal sins”.
This sentence is worded backwards in the King James, compared to the AP and the LXX-WH. Peter is speaking after being arrested and Peter says:
Acts 5:29 G611 And answering G1161 G* Peter G2532 and G3588 the G652 apostles G2036 said, G3980 [2to yield obedience G1163 1It is necessary] G2316 to God G3123 rather G2228 than G444 men.
30 G3588 The G2316 God G3588 G3962 of our fathers G1473 G1453 raised G* Jesus, G3739 whom G1473 you G1315 laid hands upon G2910 having hanged G1909 upon G3586 a tree.
“This person the Elohim chief/archēgos and savior raised up on the right hand he gives repentance the Israel and dismissal sins”.
Peter declares that Jesus is an Elohim, chief, and savior, who gives repentance to Israel and dismissal of sins. This was certainly a slap in the faces of the high priest and the chief priests.
Hebrews 12:1 G5105 Accordingly G2532 also, G1473 we G5118 [2so great G2192 1having G4029 5encompassing G1473 6us G3509 3a cloud G3144 4of witnesses], G3591 [3swelling G659 1having put aside G3956 2every] G2532 and G3588 G2139 accessible G266 sin, G1223 through G5281 endurance G5143 let us run G3588 the G4295 [2being situated before G1473 3us G73 1struggle],
2 G872 looking G1519 to G3588 [2the G3588 6of the G4102 7belief G747 3head G2532 4and G5051 5perfection G* 1Jesus], G3739 who, G473 instead of G3588 the G4295 [2being situated before G1473 3him G5479 1joy], G5278 endured G4716 the cross, G152 [2 the shame G2706 1disdaining], G1722 [2at G1188 3 the right G5037 1and] G3588 of the G2362 throne G3588 G2316 of God G2523 has sat.
“Consider attentively upon Jesus the chief/archēgos and finisher the persuasion, who because of the joy set before him, persevered the stake, think downward upon shame, in both the right hand, the seat the Elohim make to sit down.”
Jesus Messiah is now known as the archēgos, the chief, originator, the author and finisher of our faith. Jesus has always had a higher rank among the sons of the Elohim as Jesus is an Elohim. He is the first born, the Son of the Father. The other sons of the Elohim are all inferior in rank. Satanas is inferior in rank, he is an archōn, not an archēgos.
The commands of Yahweh provide living water and Jesus Messiah is the chief of life. The evil spiritual overlord does not negate the blessings of Yahweh if the people rise up. But when the people rise up to worship the Living God, the archōn gather to suppress and prevent it even though they are unemployed. Jesus will be our only King and Lord in the millennial and he will not have any competitors. He will not have to negotiate with anyone. The Babylon system will be erased and the livings waters will flow. We serve the chief and originator of life today, tomorrow, and for eternity.
