Psalm 122
A song of ascents means this psalm was recited or
sung while going up to the temple in Jerusalem. It is a
layered-prophecy psalm, fulfilled in David's time and yet to be
fulfilled in our time. It is a view into the millennial reign of Jesus.
"That is where the tribes go up,"
The 12 tribes of Israel will live in the land of Israel and go up to Jerusalem during the millennium.
"There the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David."
Jesus told His disciples that they would sin on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel during the millennium.
Mat 19:28
And
Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that you who have followed Me,
in the regeneration, when the Son of Man shall sit in the throne of His
glory, you also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes
of Israel.
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:”
David
prayed for this peace. There was a brief time of peace during his son
Solomon’s reign, but the only time there will be peace in the earthly
Jerusalem will be during the Millennium. Then of course later there
will be a New Jerusalem with perfect peace.
“Peace be within you.”
This is available to all who have the indwellment of the Holy Spirit.
“Peace” according to Hebrew Word Pictures is “to destroy the
authority that causes chaos”. In other words, to have peace within
ourselves, we must destroy any and all authority that Satan may have in
our lives.
Psalm 124
Sometimes God allows us to come up to the brink of destruction so that He may display His power in our deliverance.
"Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."There is never a problem too big for God to solve!
Psalm 133
In
any fellowship of Believers in Jesus, there may not always be oneness
of view but there can always be oneness of spirit in Him.
“How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!”
Living
in unity with brothers and sisters in Christ does not mean we will
all agree on everything but we have unity in purpose, unity in Jesus
Christ.
This psalm contains perfect verses to use for anointing a person in preparation of a special service for the Lord.
Psalm 134
"Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord."
Some
people worship and praise Him by lifting up hands. Others worship and
praise Him quietly and privately. But as was pointed out in Psalm 133,
we may not be in agreement in everything, but we have unity in purpose
and direction.
Psalm 135
The Lord is great
indeed, who knows no limits of time or place, who works in all the
universe as He pleases. His name should endure forever in the constant
and everlasting praises of His people.
This psalm contains a
description of idols. Those who worship idols are just like the idols
themselves…blind, deaf, and lifeless, and their final destruction is
eternal death.
Those
who worship the Lord then must be just the opposite…eyes open and
seeing, ears listening and understanding, and with an abundant life
that never ends. How wonderful is that!
