“Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.””
Psalm 2:1-3
The immediate rebuttal is that there were no nations before the Tower of Babel but yet
“When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.”
Deuteronomy 32:8
This verse in Deuteronomy is undoubtedly a reference to the Tower of Babel. And here people are not being referred to as a single people but as nations, even before they were divided and given territorial geographic areas to inhabit.
Was it not at the Tower of Babel that the people rebelled against God saying in essence
Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.
Was it not here that the people wanted to break away from God and His anointed?
“Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.””
Genesis 11:4
I would add that the Tower of Babel could have included the Lord and His anointed because
“Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.””
Genesis 11:7
There is a plural, requiring minimum two. So at least against two the nations were planning to rebel against. And make a name for themselves.

No! Psalm 2 is a prophecy about Jesus, as in Acts 4:22.
No place does it say that those at Babel were rebelling against God. They just discovered the advantages of a great city. But that’s not what the Lord wanted. So the Lord and the angels divided and scattered them across the earth.

Troy Day now is Psalm 2, the nations are already chained by the Lord who was given them after his resurrection. We see Psalm 2 in action today as America throws off their chains to God’s commandments. They rage against him.
