🎙️ Episode 3 – Who Is the Anointed One in Psalm 2? (Part 1)
A 3-Week Investigation into the Messiah in Psalm 2 and the Torah

In this episode, we begin a powerful 3-week series tracing the identity of the “Anointed One” in Psalm 2:2. Is David speaking merely of himself, or is this a prophetic reference to the Messiah promised in Genesis 3:15?

Join host Brian Overholtzer as he begins this biblical investigation by comparing Psalm 2 to 1 Samuel 2:10, uncovering an intentional intertextual connection through three key phrases:

  • “His Anointed” (מְשִׁיחוֹ)

  • “My King” (מַלְכִּי)

  • “The Ends of the Earth” (אַפְסֵי־אָרֶץ)

This episode demonstrates how Psalm 2 builds on Hannah’s prophetic prayer to point forward to Yahweh’s Messiah, a king who will bring global justice and rule from Zion. You’ll hear how this text forms the foundation of a messianic thread that runs through the entire Old Testament—culminating in Jesus Christ.


Coming up in the series:

  • Week 2: Connecting Psalm 2 and 1 Samuel 2:10 to Numbers 24:7–8

  • Week 3: Tracing messianic language all the way back to Genesis 49 and Genesis 3:15
