Psalm 124

Psalm 124 follows the destruction of the last great enemy, the northern army of which Joel; Micah; Isaiah in chapters 10 and 14; Zechariah in chapter 14; Daniel 11:40-45,⁴⁰And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. ⁴¹He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. ⁴²He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. ⁴³But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. ⁴⁴But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. ⁴⁵And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him. (Daniel 11:40‑45) and Ezekiel 38- 39 treat.

Quickly after the Lord has destroyed the western or Roman power at His coming, but before He has taken the throne of David; the king of the north, or the Assyrian, appears in the land of Israel with an immense army. It appears beyond any doubt to be the Russian power or influence that controls, but all the nations of eastern and northeastern Asia will be joined together, bent on making Palestine their own. But it will be a vain effort, and the king of the north will be put to death like the Beast or head of the Roman empire; and the false prophet of the Jews; but not at the same time.

It is at the end of these momentous days that Psalm 124 has its place, evidently. The deliverance of the godly remnant of Judah and Israel is owned to be all of God’s power.
