“Give unto the LORD, O you mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.” (Psalm 29:1,2) This majestic psalm is all about the voice of God. In a season of deception, practicing honing-in on the truth of God’s voice is a survival strategy. Just like Jesus in John 10 sharing that “His sheep hear His voice and follow Him,” the verses in Psalm 29 have us focusing on the

“Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers of it. Mark well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that you may tell it to the generation following.” (Psalm 48: 12,13) One regular pastime of the Kingdom will be tours of the capital city of Jerusalem. Tour guides will point out historical accounts and architectural tidbits for eager travelers to this beautiful city. Imagine the joy of being one such tour guide! Believers coming to honor King Jesus

“Let Mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Jerusalem be glad, because of Your judgments.” (Psalm 48:11) During God’s perfect Kingdom, women and children will be perpetually safe from violence or even disrespect. God honors women. Jesus loved them as His loyal and generous followers. Today, women and girls live at risk of harm. But the Kingdom will be different. That one-thousand-year reign will protect, honor, and revere women of all ages, freeing them to

Psalm 48:1 proclaims as part of the prophecy trilogy, “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness.” Psalm 46,47, and 48 are a trilogy. Showing the defeat of darkness, the start of the Kingdom, and the capital of this new golden era, these psalms add hope to our weary world. Psalm 48:1 proclaims the glory of the city of God and the glory of the God of that city. Jerusalem will shine as a beacon of righ

Psalm 47:2 … “-the LORD…is a great King over all the earth.” To sum up this psalm, let’s look forward to the start of the Kingdom and the reign of the King, Jesus Christ. Jesus will be honored, obeyed, and admired by the people of earth. Often, we grow weary in well doing during this age of deception. But Jesus encouraged us to seek the kingdom like a rare pearl or hidden treasure. It will be worth any sacrifice and satisfy any desire. Look

“Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth: sing praises with understanding.” (Psalm 47:6,7) Kingdom worship by grateful subjects will be an amazing opportunity for the Kingdom subjects of the incredible King, God. This choir will require a new understanding of God’s sovereignty and power to do the worship justice. Heads up to all you musicians, you may be called upon t

3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. 4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. Psalm 46,47,48 is a prophecy trilogy. Psalm 47 is the establishment of the Kingdom age. Before roles and responsibilities are handed out, submission will be required. People groups and nations will humble themselves before the honorable King. Then, saints will be assured of having positio

47 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. 2 For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. Psalm 46,47,48 is a prophecy trilogy. 46 stops the global fighting. 47 establishes the Kingdom of God’s dear Son, Jesus. Welcomed and celebrated, God starts His reign on earth with a coronation celebration. Let’s practice now praising God, just as we would during the Kingdom age. God is a worthy King!

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46,47, 48 is a prophecy trilogy, mapping out the end times for humanity. In my opinion, Psalm 46:10 is often misunderstood. Although we should be still in God’s presence and acknowledge His sovereign influence over our lives, I see this verse as a decree from a peaceful God to a war-loving human race. After seven years of deception

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth. 9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and cuts the spear in sunder; he burns the chariot in the fire. Psalm 46,47,48 are a prophecy trilogy. In verses 46:8,9, we see Who is really in control. In all of the turmoil of an end-times judgment, only God is powerful enough to step onto the world’s stage and fix every aspect of humanity’s mess. From destroying

Psalm 46, 47, 48 are a prophecy trilogy. Verse 46:6,7, “The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.” During judgment, the wicked, instead of fleeing from their evil condition, turn up the heat, and rage against the wrath of God, the Judge. Even in Jude, the ungodly are predicted to refuse to be humble. If humanity won’t humble itself, it will be humbled, thro

In the prophecy trilogy of Psalm 46,47,48, verse 46:5 offers great hope! “God is in the midst of her: she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.” Never late. Always on time. God, here, is giving Himself as the Help that humanity needs during a season of judgment. God is always ready to step in and help a humble humanity. But don’t wait for distress to call on God. Call on Him now. Thank Him for the gift of eternal life, provided by the sa

In the prophecy trilogy of Psalm 46,47,48, verse 4 of the first chapter gives a glimmer of hope in a terrifying season. “There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.” Did you know that God offers Himself as a Resource of refreshing? During judgment, during famine, during pestilence, God is the Refuge, the Refreshing, and the Remedy. He IS what we need during any time of turbulence. Ge

Psalm 46:1-3 “ God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.” Psalm 46-48 is a prophecy trilogy, adding insight to the end times as described in Revelation. Verse 2-3 here appear to be sharing of a season where the ea

Have you ever read that Psalms 46,47,48 are a prophecy trilogy? Psalm 46 is all about the chaos of a season of turmoil and judgment until God steps in at verse 10 to decree peace. The psalm begins, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear…” (Ps 46:1,2a) During this season, many are fearing the birthing pangs of the end times and tribulation period. Fears concerning wars and rumors of wars, pestilences, intrigue

After sharing of the gaining of the kingdom as the obtaining of a valuable treasure, Jesus questioned, “Have you understood all these things?” His disciples answered in the affirmative. But do we understand? Jesus repetitively shares the worth of the coming Kingdom. He even encourages us to regularly pray, “Your Kingdom come,” to our Heavenly Father. So, the summary question: are we as invested in the gaining of the Kingdom? Do we know its value? Do we prioriti

Jesus shares further, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.” (Matthew 13:45,46) Like on a mission, this merchant was intentionally seeking a treasure, a valuable pearl. Once he had discovered that once-in-a-lifetime gemstone, he knew it was worth any sacrifice to obtain it. Are we as diligent as this merchant? Are we faithfu

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hidden in a field; the which when a man has found, he hides, and for the joy of it goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” (Matthew 13:44) Some possessions are so valuable that any sacrifice is worth the gaining of them. The Kingdom is one such possession. Like stumbling upon a hidden, valuable treasure, the gaining of the Kingdom is worth the risk of investing in it. As we ponder this coming real

After a season of judgment, Jesus makes His followers an incredible promise, “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father.” (Matthew 13:43) After all is complete, every evil judged, every wrong made right…things in this universe will change forever. Those declared-right humans, made clean by the sacrifice of Jesus, will be trophies of God’s grace in His kingdom. So, in essence, the Kingdom of God, heaven on earth, is our goal.
