Psalm 128 goes on to full millennial blessing.
(vs. 4-5) “Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.”
Is it not striking here, the expression “shall bless thee out of Zion”? He has once more taken up His place in the midst of His people and can bless them out of Zion. Zion speaks of grace in His choosing a place where He could go on with His people when all else had failed (Psalm 78:56-72). The priesthood had failed and also the king of His choice, David (2 Sam. 24:14-25).
Does not the Lord’s gracious provision of Matt. 18:20 provide a rallying point at this present time when much failure has come in, as was prophetically foretold in Revelation 2 and 3? There are those who are called upon to be overcomers, such as are brought before us in 2 Tim. 2:22-26 and Heb. 13:11-16.
We have now reached another climax; we have now the house, the city, and millennial blessing. Perhaps it might be asked, What more could be added? But the Lord would prepare the heart more as to Himself personally. So far, we have heard more about the outward things; we have still the Person of the Lord to be brought before us, so we go back and take another beginning.
