Psa 48:1-2, …GREAT IS THE LORD, AND GREATLY TO BE PRAISED IN THE CITY OF OUR GOD, IN HIS HOLY MOUNTAIN. BEAUTIFUL IN ELEVATION, THE JOY OF THE WHOLE EARTH, Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING.
Today, Jerusalem is a city in the desert, not much beauty to behold YET, HE has chosen Jerusalem! 2Chr 6:6a! The Psalmist is looking at what is to come. The new city of Jerusalem!
Rev 21:2, Then I, John, SAW THE HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM, COMING DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN FROM GOD, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
The LORD will come again and HE will reign from Jerusalem! It shall be known as the city of truth and the city of the Great KING! Even Abraham waited to see the city not made by human hands, but by GOD!
Heb 11:10, for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Zec 8:3, “Thus says the LORD: ‘I WILL RETURN TO ZION, And dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. JERUSALEM SHALL BE CALLED THE CITY OF TRUTH, THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE HOLY MOUNTAIN.’
Psa 48:4-6, For behold, the kings assembled, They passed by together. THEY SAW IT, AND SO THEY MARVELED; THEY WERE TROUBLED, THEY HASTENED AWAY. FEAR TOOK HOLD OF THEM THERE, AND PAIN, as of a woman in birth pangs,
Many people around the world will come to Jerusalem and see the city of GOD and will tremble in fear and reverence to HIM!
Zec 8:22-23, YES, MANY PEOPLES AND STRONG NATIONS SHALL COME TO SEEK THE LORD OF HOSTS IN JERUSALEM, AND TO PRAY BEFORE THE LORD.’ “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘In those days TEN MEN FROM EVERY LANGUAGE OF THE NATIONS SHALL GRASP THE SLEEVE OF A JEWISH MAN, SAYING, “LET US GO WITH YOU, FOR WE HAVE HEARD THAT GOD IS WITH YOU.”
Psa 48:8, AS WE HAVE HEARD, SO WE HAVE SEEN IN THE CITY OF THE LORD OF HOSTS, IN THE CITY OF OUR GOD: GOD WILL ESTABLISH IT FOREVER. SELAH
We have heard of it, and read about it in HIS word! SO SHALL WE SEE IT COME TO PASS! For these are not just words written in a book, But are HIS promises to the believer! HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST AND WILL COMPLETE HIS WORK! AS YOU HAVE HEARD, YOU WILL SEE!
