The title, taken from Psalm 2, describes the reign of God’s anointed and the world’s hatred of his rule. “The nations rage, and the people’s plot in vain. The kings of the earth take counsel together against the LORD and his Anointed.” It well summarizes the antithetical battle.

“As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill!” At the top of mountain of man, Babylon, is a Pilgrim’s Progress book cover. It is hidden in gold leaf.  God rules above the nations who have been given to him as a heritage. “Blessed are all who take refuge in him.”
