When God Laughs (Psalm 2:4-6)

God laughs at rebellion, demonstrating His supreme authority over human defiance. From His position in heaven, He views mankind's attempts to overthrow divine rule with ridicule and mockery. While God's laughter reflects His sovereign power, it also reveals His righteous anger toward those who oppose Him.
