Ps 45 continued. Pt 13, Rejoice

Rejoice


Vv. 15-17

I promise to finish today. But how can we confine the glories of the Risen Lord to 17 verses in Psalms 45?

V. 15, With gladness and rejoicing… And what gladness and rejoicing it will be, when the bride is presented to her Husband, King Jesus. There has never been anything like it and never will be. "The halls of the New Jerusalem will ring," with gladness and rejoicing as the redeemed are brought to Christ. Might also mention here, that the death of his saints is precious in His sight, Ps. 116:15, I'll sure rejoice when I see Him.

Enter into the kings palace, and there the saints will dwell forever. "Happy hour when we shall enjoy all this and forget the sorrows of time in the triumphs of eternity"--C.H.S..

“With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.”

Psalms 100:1 ”Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. 2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3* Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4* Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 5* For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”

The church is brought. She does not come of herself. She must be convinced, converted and made willing by the Spirit of God.

John 6:44 “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.”

Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

"Grace" is God's part, and "faith" man’s part. Grace must be given by God before there can be faith. In Philippians 2:13, Grace is defined as God working in us both to will and to do his good pleasure.

So God must provide his grace before man can answer God’s call by faith.

V. 15. They shall enter into the king's palace.

John 14:2 “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”

What great gladness and rejoicing there will be when the bride is presented to her Husband, King Jesus.

Isaiah 64:4 “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.”

1 Corinthians 2:9 “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”

"The halls of the New Jerusalem will ring," with gladness and rejoicing as the redeemed are brought to Christ.

Enter into the kings palace, and there the saints will dwell forever. "Happy hour when we shall enjoy all this and forget the sorrows of time in the triumphs of eternity"--C.H.S..

We are already seated with the King in heavenly places, but the physical reality will come one day when we see him face to face.

Is this not what Abraham and Moses saw in Heb. 11, as they made their choice to serve and obey God? If we could only keep our eyes on that better country, how much would our day-by-day life style change? Would we not change from a life of 'enjoyment' now to a life of laying up treasures in heaven for then, and prepare to meet our God?

Let us look forward with great anticipation and preparation for the day when we will enter into the Kings palace and there dwell forever more. Might we be prepared in this life to face our King? Let us stand before him with joy and gladness that were faithful in even the small things assigned to us.

Matthew 25:14 “For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15* And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. 16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. 19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. 21* His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

The implications of the above is that that those who profess but do not produce works meet for repentance, are going to be cast out. See the Sower and the Seed.

V. 16 “Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children,”

V. 16 gives us the line of succession. A veteran passes off the scene and another volunteer (draftee) fills the gap. The line of grace will remain unbroken until time is no more.

Here is the line of succession. As veterans of the King’s army pass off the scene, other volunteers fill the gap. (Actually, God’s Spirit drafts him into the Lord’s army.) The line of grace will remain unbroken until time is no more.

“Whom thou mayest make...” His servants are priests and kings. He sets up whomsoever He will, and he brings down whomsoever he will. In fact, He doeth according to His will in the kingdom of men, Daniel 3, 5.

“The whole earth shall yet be subdued for Christ, and honoured are they, who shall, through grace, have a share in the conquest--these shall reign with Christ at his coming,"--C.H.S.

We are to be busy subduing the whole earth for the king in the power of the king, and under the authority of the King. Matthew 28, and Deuteronomy 28 both tell us that there is a tremendous battle taking place over who will control the hearts and minds of the inhabitants of the earth; the Spirit of God, or the Spirit of the anti-Christ. The victory is assured as we obey the commands of the King.

V. 17 “I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations:”

Here the Father is addressing the Son, as He did in Heb. 1:8. The fame of His name will never be erased nor forgotten. It will never dim. The redeemed will sing praises to His name for ever and ever. These are heart felt, overflowing praises as we look back at His wonderful grace and mercy. Ps. 146 through Ps. 150 will be our song forever more. It will indeed be glorious.

The Father addresses the Son, as He did in Hebrews 1:8 “But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.”

The Father address the Son with these words in Psalms 2:

“7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8* Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. 10* ¶ Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12* Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”

Psalms 2 tells us that all the world’s powers unite together and conspire how to erase the name and fame of the King, Jesus Christ. Yet God sits in the heavens and laughs at their foolish and vain efforts. Our God invites his people to join him in his laughter at their foolishness.

Throughout history, wicked men have used every means possible to remove those who follow the Lamb, and the law they represent. The Lamb’s law represents another kingdom, the Kingdom of God. And that Kingdom is at war with the kingdom of men.

The “One Worlders” must eradicate the Kingdom of Christ from the earth, if their Babylonian dream of a One World Order, or the New World Order is to succeed. Our God sits in the heavens and laughs at their foolish plans to overthrow the Kingdom of His Dear Son. The Bushs and McCain are some of the most vocal in their desire to unite the world under as Nimrod attempted to do.

I believe the wicked have counseled together to use the Muslims to overthrow the Kingdom of God by whatever means possible. Notice it is the One Worlders who are resisting any kind of immigration restriction from the Muslim countries. Also, Muslims are probably more dependable in the work place than are the drugged out youth of today, so the big corporations are very resistant to any policy that will remove illegal Muslims from the work place.

Keep in mind the multiplied billions of “dollars” that have been given to Muslim countries, as well as the military equipment that has been left on the battlefield for the Muslim armies with which to equip themselves. Also, the largest oil refinery in the US is owned by the radical Muslim country Saudi Arabia. It was shut down by the hurricane. The list is endless list of corporations in the US that is being turned over to the Muslims.

Parenthesis:

Farewell to England

This is a "Farewell to England" list of Islamic accomplishments in that country that might give us a better understanding of the insidiousness of Hijrah; that's the takeover of a nation without going to war.

Don't think for a moment that America is not a target or that there are no American cities where Islamic and Sharia victories and takeovers have already occurred.

It's time for border control, or start planning for a very big goodbye America party!
Here's what has already happened to England within a few years of opening their borders without entry control: Now the British have passively succumbed to the Muslim invasion:

Mayor of London ... MUSLIM
Mayor of Birmingham ... MUSLIM
Mayor of Leeds ... MUSLIM
Mayor of Blackburn ... MUSLIM
Mayor of Sheffield ... MUSLIM
Mayor of Oxford ... MUSLIM
Mayor of Luton ... MUSLIM
Mayor of Oldham ... MUSLIM
Mayor of Rochdale ... MUSLIM
Over 3,000 Muslim Mosques
Over 130 Muslim Sharia Courts
Over 50 Muslim Sharia Councils
Muslims Only No-Go Areas Across The UK
Muslim Women ... 78% don't work and are on FREE benefits/housing
Muslim Men ... 63% don't work and are on FREE benefits/housing
Muslim Families ... 6-8 children planning to go on FREE benefits/housing and now all UK schools are ONLY serving HALAL MEAT!

All this achieved by just 4 million Muslims out of the 66 million population!
..... and we (the USA) can't decide on an immigration policy???

Copied

I published a document some time ago showing that when the Muslim population approached 10%, they openly and actively start working to overthrow the host nation. (biblicalexaminer.org/topics/muslims)

As fast as evil men try to remove the name of King Jesus by killing those who profess the name of Christ, new professors are brought into the warfare. To the great dismay of the wicked, no matter how serious the persecution, the persecuted continue to proclaim the name of the glorious King, Jesus Christ, even unto death.

As does all of Scripture, Psalms 45 proclaims the victory that Jesus Christ accomplished when He conquered death, and was seated at the right hand of all Power on High to intercede for His people, His army on earth. As His people live in His victory, seeking His Kingdom and righteousness first, they fear not those who can kill the body, for they fear the God who can kill the soul. (Mat 10:28, Lk 12:4)

We see Godly fearlessness plainly exhibited by those who presently live under Muslim law. That law is being quietly installed in the US thanks to Obama paying and financing “radical” Muslims to move here. (Detroit is basically under Muslim control, giving them a strong foothold in the heart of the US.) Unless the Lord intervenes with a genuine revival of obedience to his law, within 50 years, our grandchildren and great grandchildren will be beheaded when they refuse to worship Allah.

The faithful life that may result in death for the cause of Christ brings the ultimate glory to God our Saviour.

“therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.” His name and fame cannot be erased nor forgotten. It will never dim. The redeemed will sing praises to His name forever and ever.

The praise of his people will be an overflowing praises from the heart, as they look back at His wonderful grace and mercy. Psalms 146 through 150 will be the theme of the songs of praise for evermore. It will indeed be glorious.

Revelation 5:9 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.”

This 45th Psalm opened with

Psalms 1:1 “My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.”

Is it any wonder that the Psalmist had a heart bubbling over with praise? No wonder he had to write it down. If we would meditate on our King as did this man, our heart also would bubble over and "splash" on those around us.

The word of God is not a spiritual book meant to give us good feelings. Rather, it is book of marching orders. It is the instruction manual telling us how to wage an effective warfare against the world, flesh and the devil. And it tells us the outcome, final victory for our King.

Revelation 5:12 “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I (the Apostle John) heard saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 4 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

Four and twenty: The twelve sons of Israel representing the Old Testament saints, and twelve apostles, representing the New Testament saints.

O that we might be found faithfully following those marching orders as our King goes forth to conquer with his sword of the Spirit working though His army.
