b"Central to a proper image of blessedness as expressed in the Psalms is a conception of God\\u2019s rule as that which brings flourishing, rather than conceiving it as burdensome. God pronounced a blessing upon Adam in Genesis 1:28 that gave him the right to rule as God\\u2019s chosen representative under God\\u2019s ultimate authority. God made man \\u201cto have dominion over the works of [his] hands;\\u201d he \\u201cput all things under his feet\\u201d (Ps 8:6). Adam, however, failed. He conceived of God\\u2019s rule as bonds to be broken, and he disobeyed the command of God. Adam forfeited his right to rule as God\\u2019s regal representative.\\nYet God\\u2019s intent to bless man by giving him rule over all things under his ultimate rule did not end with Adam\\u2019s failure. God still intends to bless humankind through the mediatorial rule of an Anointed One, and this is a critical element of a proper image of blessedness, one first introduced in Psalm 2 and developed throughout the Psalter. An ungodly conception of blessedness that casts off the rule of God also rejected \\u201chis Anointed,\\u201d as Psalm 2:2 states. The term translated \\u201cAnointed\\u201d in the psalms and throughout Scripture is the word \\u201cMessiah,\\u201d and refers to God\\u2019s chosen kingly representative. Therefore, we must understand the nature of this Anointed One and how he plays into a proper conception of blessedness in submission to God\\u2019s rule.\\nScott Aniol's blog:\\nhttps://g3min.org/blogs/scott-aniol/\\n\\nArticle, audio, itinerary:\\nhttps://www.scottaniol.com/\\n\\nPodcast:\\nhttps://anchor.fm/scottaniol\\n\\nFacebook:\\nhttps://www.facebook.com/scottmaniol\\n\\nTwitter:\\nhttps://twitter.com/ScottAniol\\n\\nInstagram:\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/scottmaniol/\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scottaniol/support"
