The Psalmist David caught a peep into this
triumph and wrote what his spirit had received. He
saw the throne, where the Father sat, he saw the
Lamb of God triumphant and descending out of the
Ivory Palaces to get His Bride, and he saw the Bride
dressed in the glamour of His righteousness. He
wrote by the Holy Spirit, "Thy throne, O God, is for
ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right
sceptre. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest
wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed
thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. All
thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia,
out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made
thee glad." "The king's daughter is all glorious
within: her clothing is of wrought gold. She shall
be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework:
the virgins her companions that follow her shall be
brought unto thee. With gladness and rejoicing shall
they be brought: they shall enter into the king's
palace." (
Psalm
45:6-8;
45:13-15) This
glorious message was almost too much for King David,
but he said, "My tongue is the pen of a ready
writer." (
Psalm
45:1) He had already said in an
earlier psalm, "Therefore my heart is glad, and my
glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither
wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence
is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are
pleasures for evermore." (
Psalm 16:9-11)
This prophet of God had seen the Marriage
Supper and said that his future death was
nothing but "rest in hope." Surely,
we that are living on the edge of the
Marriage Supper should be elated with
"joyous expectation," even more than David.
Soon, we will be shouting the Lord's praises
while our enemy, Satan, blasphemes at us from
the earth where he has been banished, soon to be
cast in the bottomless pit.
My comments:
Others have so much more elegantly
expressed their HOPES FOR THE FUTURE Rapture
and the Return of Jesus Christ as well has the
ANXIETY about the current state of THIS
world....
I COULD NOT AGREE MORE....
