"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not
partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
[41] Aria : Why do the nations (heathen) rage [0:25]
[42] Chorus (performing the part of the raging heathen): Let us break their bands [2:52]
[43] Recitative: He that dwelleth in heaven [4:40]
[44] Aria: Thou shalt break them [5:06]
41. Why do the heathen rage
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed, saying, (Psalms 2:1-2)
42. Let us break their bands asunder ([Chorus] kings, rulers, people, vainly imagining, saying:)
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. (Psalms 2:3)
43. He that dwelleth in heaven
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.. (Psalms 2:4)
44. Thou shalt break them
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. (Psalms 2:9)
The next piece (#45), after the rebellion of the kings, rulers, heathen-nations, is dashed in pieces like a potter's vessel, is the famed Alleluia Chorus, the end of Pt. 2 (of 3) - the heavenly chorus proclaiming the victory with shouts of Alleluia the LORD god omnipotent reigneth.. [see: Johann Strauss/Harlem Choir '04 classic]

It is of the utmost importance for the Christian reader to bear in mind that, whatever be the condition of the professing Church, it is his privilege to enjoy as high communion and to tread as high a path of individual devotedness as ever was known in the very brightest days of the Church's history. We must never draw a plea from the condition of things around us for lowering the standard of individual holiness and devotedness. There is no excuse for continuing a single hour in connection with anything that will not stand the test of Holy Scripture.
