Reading Psalms

Psalms is a book of praise, is it not? Yes, but it is also a book of prophecy. In Psalms, you can find many references to the time of Jesus where Jesus speaks through David generations before He was born through the Holy Spirit. David speaks and we see mirrors of Christ's own emotions as He was hated without cause. Not only this but I also find many references to the last days and how the wicked will be destroyed. The 1,000 year reign of Christ as King over all the Earth is also mentioned in Psalms.

How kings and nations pour into the courts of Zion to praise Him and fall at His feet. The riches of the nations will belong to Him and He will rule in righteousness and peace. Psalms is about how God delivered Jesus from the pit or the grave and how Jesus trusted in God's word more than anything else. So many mirrors of Christ can be found in Psalms and talk of how He will be praised among the nations once He sits on the throne of David forever.

No book contains more prophetic insight into the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, His life, His death, His persecutions, His crucifixion, His resurrection, and the prophecies concerning Christ that are a part of our future that have not yet taken place. It is all here, from Psalm 22 which shows Christ's own suffering and pain, to Psalm 23 which is also all about Jesus, and beyond.

^{Psalm 89:3-4}

³ You said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
I have sworn to David my servant,

⁴ 'I will establish your line forever
and make your throne firm through all generations.' "
Selah
