About This Product
An insightful address on Psalm 22.
Conclusion- There had been Christ's praise in the midst of the assembly of His brethren when He rose from among the dead, their Leader; and there followed also a suited testimony of God to those who feared Him (compare Acts 10:35), as well as to all the seed of Jacob or Israel. The day when grace assembles the children of God is also a day of good news to every creature, Jew or Gentile, that they may believe. But now it is more than testimony. Messiah's praises are of Jehovah in the great congregation; Messiah pays His vows before them that fear Him. There is the sure and open accomplishment of all promises. Now every prophecy of coming glory for the earth and the nations is being fulfilled. Accordingly, the “meek shall eat and be satisfied, they shall praise Jehovah that seek Him: your heart shall live forever.” “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto Jehovah: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the kingdom is Jehovah's: and He is the governor among the nations” (vers. 27, 28). Not a word of this was given in the former connection. Henceforth it is not merely calling on all the ends of the earth to remember, but they shall remember. It will not be the gospel of grace as now, nor the church, but the kingdom in its display of power. All therefore shall turn to Jehovah, as we are here assured, “and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee.” It is no longer a question of the Christian place (this was given us in ver. 22) when the testimony goes out in ver. 23, the ground of faith being laid in ver. 24. After that (vers. 25-31) comes what supposes and characterizes the millennial days. It is when Christ asks (Psa. 2) and gets the earth, that He is in the “great congregation.”
Now on the contrary His is a “little flock,” and everything great among men is opposed to God. By-and-by it will not be so; but Christ will have “the great congregation,” and be Himself the governor of all nations. Then “all they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship, all they that go down to the dust shall bow before Him.” Then is a day of confessed dependence, though of the richest blessing, for “none can keep alive his own soul.” He is the life and strength of all, as He is the exalted of all. “A seed shall serve Him: it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.” The old Christ-rejecting generation will be gone, but the returned remnant, after undergoing judgment and consumption, shall be a holy seed and a new stock. “They shall come and shall declare His righteousness [weaned now at length from all conceit of their own] unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done this” (vers. 29-31). It is neither heaven nor eternity, nor is it the present evil age, but the bright and holy age to come, when the Lord Jehovah is blessed and blesses, the God of Israel who only doeth wondrous things; and in that day His glorious name is blessed forever, and the whole earth is filled with His glory. Amen and Amen. W. K.
