Psalm 2:2-4 amp

The kings of the earth take their places; the rulers take counsel against the Lord and His Anointed One (the Messiah, the Christ) They say, Let us break Their bands (of restraint) asunder and cast Their cords (of control) from us.  He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord has them in derision (and in supreme contempt He mocks them).

No matter what is going on here on this earth, God is still in control.  A sinful man never wants to listen to God, and they rage against God’s guidance. God’s presence on this earth reminds man they are coming short in sin, so they need to remove God from everything.  God sits in the heavens and laughs because He is still in control.  The church (us) still represents God on this earth, and we will share in the victory over evil.
