This is a very interesting verse that has more meaning than it seems on the surface, so let’s examine what this verse means.
Psalms 2:12 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“Kiss the SON, lest He be angry, and you perish along the way, when suddenly His anger blazes. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him.”
Psalms 2:12 (Aramaic)
“Kiss the SON, lest He be angry, and you perish from His way while His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.”
Kiss The Son:
1 Samuel 10:1 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“Then Samuel took a flask of oil he had prepared and poured it on Saul’s head. He KISSED HIM and said, “YAHWEH has ANOINTED YOU to be prince (king) over his inheritance.”
Psalms 45:7 (Aramaic)
“You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore EL (YESHUA), Your EL (YAHWEH), has ANOINTED YOU with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
When Samuel anointed Saul as king he kissed him, which is a sign of reverence, respect, and honor to him as ruler. Likewise, YAHWEH has anointed YESHUA as KING AND PRIEST; therefore, we must kiss the Son YESHUA to show reverence, respect, and honor to the Melech ha’Melechim (The King of kings)!
The etymology for the word “kiss” is “Nashaq” pronounced (naw-shak’) and is Strong’s H5401 which means “through the idea of fastening up; to kiss, literally or figuratively (touch); also as a mode of attachment), to EQUIP WITH WEAPONS:- armed (men), rule, kiss, that touched.”
The peshat (the literal meaning) is to kiss the Son YESHUA as our King/Priest and the remez (the hint to a deeper spiritual meaning) is to equip ourselves to fight for YESHUA! What are the weapons that we should be equipping ourselves with?
Ephesians 6:10-18 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“Finally, grow powerful in union with the Master, in union with His mighty strength! Use all the ARMOR AND WEAPONRY THAT ELOHIM PROVIDES, so that you will be able to stand against the deceptive tactics of the Adversary. For we are not struggling against human beings, but against rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers governing this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm. So take up every peace of WAR EQUIPMENT ELOHIM PROVIDES; so that when the evil day comes you will be able to resist; and when the battle is won, you will still be standing. Therefore, stand! Have the belt of truth buckled around your waist, put on righteousness for a breastplate, and wear on your feet the readiness that comes from the GOOD NEWS OF SHALOM. Always carry the shield of trust, with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the Evil One. And take the helmet of deliverance, along with the sword given by the Spirit, that is the Word of ELOHIM; as you pray at all times, with all kinds of prayers and requests, in the Spirit, vigilantly and persistently, for all ELOHIM’s people.”
2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“For although we do live in the world, we do not WAGE WAR IN A WORLDLY WAY; because the WEAPONS we use to WAGE WAR ARE NOT WORLDY. On the contrary, they have ELOHIM’s power for DEMOLISHING STRONGHOLDS. We demolish arguments and every arrogance that raises itself up against the knowledge of ELOHIM; we take every thought captive and make it obey the Messiah.”
Ephesians 4:7-13 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“Each one of us, however, has been given mercy to be measured by the Messiah’s bounty. This is why it says, “After He went up into the heights, He led captivity captive and He gave gifts to mankind.” Now this phrase, “He went up,” what can it mean if not that He first went down into the lower parts, that is, the earth? The One who went down is Himself the One who also went up, for above all of heaven, in order to fill all things. Furthermore, He gave some people as emissaries, some as prophets, some as proclaimers of the Good News, and some as shepherds and teachers. Their task is to equip ELOHIM’s people for the work of service that builds the body of the Messiah, until we all arrive at the unity implied by trusting and knowing the Son of ELOHIM, at full manhood, at the standard of maturity set by the Messiah’s perfection.”
Matthew 24:14 (Hebrew)
“And then the GOOD NEWS, will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all the peoples, and then will the end come.”
1 Corinthians 12:4-12 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“Now there are different kinds of gifts, but the Same Spirit gives them. Also there are different ways of serving, but it is the same Master being served. And there are different modes of working, but it is the same ELOHIM working them all in everyone. Moreover, to each person is given the particular manifestation of the Spirit that will be for the common good. To one, through the Spirit, is given a word of wisdom; to another, a word of knowledge, in accordance with the same Spirit; to another, faith, by the same Spirit; and to another, gifts of healing, by the one Spirit; to another, the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another, the ability to judge between spirits; to another, the ability to speak in different kinds of tongues; and to yet another, the ability to interpret tongues. One and the same Spirit is at work in all these things, distributing to each person as He chooses. For just as the body is one but has many parts; and all the parts of the body, though many, constitute one body; so it is with the Messiah. For it was by one Spirit that we are all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free; and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.”
This is how we go to war and fight for YESHUA by equipping ourselves and others with the truth of Torah and the Good News to strengthen the Body of Messiah so they can operate within the gift that He has given each of us, and praying for others knowing this is a spiritual and not a physical battle. By doing these things you are a soldier in the army of YAHWEH!
2 Timothy 2:3 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“Accept your share in suffering disgrace as a GOOD SOLDIER OF THE MESSIAH YESHUA.”
Lest He be angry, and you perish along the way, when suddenly His anger blazes
It is better to commit your life as a sold-out disciple and solider of YESHUA and serve Him by your own free will, because when it is all said and done every knee will have to bow before Him regardless! You might as well do it now while you can and walk in His mercies versus waiting for His wrath to be kindled upon you!
Philippians 2:9-11 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“Therefore ELOHIM raised Him to the highest place and gave Him the Name above every name; that in honor of the Name given YESHUA, EVERY KNEE WILL BOW—in heaven, on earth and under the earth---and every TONGUE will acknowledge that YESHUA the Messiah is MASTER to the esteem of ELOHIM the Father.”
Paul tells us that at the end, EVERY TONGUE will confess that YESHUA THE MESSIAH IS MASTER! Which is why we plead with humanity to do it while there is an opportunity to do so!
Romans 10:9 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“That if you acknowledge publicly with your MOUTH that YESHUA IS MASTER and trust in your heart that ELOHIM raised Him from the dead, you will be delivered.”
The consequences for rejecting YESHUA’s free gift of atonement for you, not accepting YESHUA as the Messiah, EL the Son, The Creator dying for His creation is this:
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“And to give rest along with us to you who are being troubled, when the Master YESHUA is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in a fiery flame. Then He will punish those who don’t KNOW ELOHIM, that is, those who DON’T LISTEN to the GOOD NEWS of our Master YESHUA and obey it. They will suffer the just penalty of ETERNAL DESTRUCTION, far away from the face of the Master and the esteem of His might.”
(CJB) How blessed are all who take refuge in Him. (Aramaic) Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him
Revelation 14:12 (Hebrew)
“Here is the hope of the set-apart ones, and here are those who DO THE COMMANDMENTS OF YAHWEH,AND BELIEVE IN YESHUA.”
Psalms 17:7 (Aramaic)
“Make Your SET-APART ONE (YESHUA) a wonder and a Savior to those WHO TRUST; but let Him prevail against those that rise up against Your right hand.”
John 16:33 (Hebrew)
“These things I speak to you, in order that you may have shalom (peace) in ME ALONE—for you will have distress in the world; but TRUST IN ME, for I, I have conquered the world.”
Will you kiss the Son YESHUA our King? Will you bow down and worship Him? Will you stand and fight for Him with the spiritual weapons ELOHIM has equipped you with? Will you stand and endure until the end? Will you trust in Him? If you said “YES” you made the best decision ever!
As always may YAHWEH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name!
