Psalm 87
-Theme: The city
of God, where God resides forever with all His believing children. Zion, the
Holy Temple, the gathering of the elect, God’s Jerusalem, the LORD’s love of
this place over all of the other dwelling places of Jacob, the Glory of the
city of David where the Christ shall reign.
-Historical Insight: Written by the Temple assistants, the
sons of Korah as a song in respect of the holy mountain.
-*Application* God has established His Kingdom both
materially and spiritually. While the geographic fact of Jerusalem exists, and
will exist anew in the eschaton, the spiritual implications of union with this magnificent
God should spring out in our understanding and just thrill the soul. The LORD
Most High establishes His dominion in this place where worship and praise
reside. God is the registrar of the people who will inhabit this wonderful domicile.
All His springs of joy and salvation are in her as redemption gives birth to
eternal existence!
Verse to Memorize:
Psalm 87:2
