Psalm 96:10-13

Psalm 96:10-13



10a SAY AMONG THE HEATHEN THAT THE LORD REIGNETH:

Yes, Sherry...say among the heathen that the LORD REIGNETH! Declare to the lost and to those of other tongues that the LORD ascends to the throne. He is the Sovereign God of the universe, and He says, "Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is NONE ELSE; I am God, and there is one like me, DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, MY COUNSEL SHALL STAND, and I will do all my pleasure: calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: YEA, I HAVE SPOKEN IT, I WILL ALSO BRING
IT TO PASS; I HAVE PURPOSED IT, I WILL ALSO DO IT." (Is. 49:9-11) Declare to the world, Sherry, that the sovereign Lord rules!

10b THE WORLD ALSO SHALL BE ESTABLISHED THAT IT SHALL NOT BE MOVED: HE SHALL JUDGE THE PEOPLE RIGHTEOUSLY.

When the seventh angel sounds,..."The kingdoms of this world (will) become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." (Rev. 11:15) "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that ALL PEOPLE, NATIONS, and LANGUAGES, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." (Dan. 7:14) His kingdom fails not, and He rules RIGHTLY! All sin shall be judged, and "...whosoever is) not found written in the book of life (will be) cast into the lake of fire." (Rev. 20:15)

11-12a LET THE HEAVENS REJOICE, AND LET THE EARTH BE GLAD; LET THE SEA ROAR, AND THE FULLNESS THEREOF. LET THE FIELD BE JOYFUL, AND ALL THAT IS THEREIN:

Yes, everything that God made is DOING what He had planned for it to DO, and this is showing forth His GLORY, and He is being magnified! Let the heavens and earth CONTINUE to rejoice and glorify him...They SHALL... They SHALL! The heavens and earth SHALL CONTINUE to rejoice and glorify Him. The sun is bringing forth light and warmth for us in
the daytime, and the moon and stars are directing us in the night. The seas roar and show forth God's mighty power! Let the field continue to bring forth food for man and beast! Let every creature within the seas and fields joyfully fulfill the purpose for which they were made! May YOU fulfill the purpose for which YOU were made, Sherry!

12b-13 THEN SHALL ALL THE TREES OF THE WOOD REJOICE BEFORE THE LORD: FOR HE COMETH, HE COMETH TO JUDGE THE EARTH; HE SHALL JUDGE THE WORLD IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THE PEOPLE WITH HIS TRUTH.

But also..."We know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." (Rom. 8:22)...waiting for the PERFECTION..THEN shall nature REALLY PRAISE!

THEN...when Christ comes...shall the woods really rejoice! The birds within the trees shall sing a more beautiful song than they have ever sung before! THEN shall there be a new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth RIGHTEOUSNESS...no more curse...no more decay...NO
MORE SIN! Hallelujah! When the LORD comes, the wicked shall be punished, and sin shall be gone...righteousness and truth shall be forever! And the LORD shall REIGN in the fullest sense!

Proclaim these words to the world, Sherry! Let this psalm be a "missionary hymn" for thee- a hymn of praise- a hymn about the GLORY OF GOD- a hymn that will say to all - "The chief end of man is to GLORIFY GOD BY ENJOYING HIM FOREVER!" and "God is most glorified
in us when we are most SATISFIED in Him." (Quotes by Piper)
