Chapter 89: Christ’s Throne shall be
established
Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite
Ethan tells us that the Lord is
merciful and that no one can be compared to Him. We learn that in the
assembly/congregation of the saints, the Lord is greatly feared. This Psalm is
essentially about the: mercy, greatness, justice, and judgement of the Holy one
of Israel. Ethan tells us that David’s seed (through Christ) will be
established forever.
There is one thing that really
caught my eye “He [Jesus] shall cry unto me [God the Father], thou art my father, my
God, and the rock of my salvation. Also I will make him my first born, higher
than the kings of the earth.” (Psalms 89:26-27)
This tells us a few very
important gospel truths:
·
Jesus is the
son of God the Father (Elohiem)
·
Jesus is the
first son of God “…that he might be the firstborn among many bretheren.” (Romans 8:29)
·
Jesus is separate
from God the Father (the Trinity: God the Father, His Son [Jesus] and the Holy
Ghost). The Three are separate and individual beings.
Chapter 90: Man’s days, compared to God’s
A Prayer of Moses the man of God
This is a Prayer of Moses where
we learn that God is everlasting. Man’s life is meant to be “three score years
and ten”; three score was a term used to say “60” and “10”= “70” so in other
words humans are meant to live to age “70” according to Moses’s prayer.
Moses tells the Lord that He “…hast set our iniquities before thee, our
secret sins in the light of thy countenance” (Psalms 90:8). Moses is
essentially confessing his and his peoples sins. Although I strongly feel that
the Lord already knows our sins. Our sins are not secret from Him. Moses asks
the Lord for his kindness in blessing the people.
