Meditation of the week: Psalms 99:1-9

Text: Psalm 98:1-9

Word title: Judgment of God coming right before human kind

          The psalmist preaches the words of prophecy in the Holy Spirit, previewing the scene that  all things on the earth rejoicing and singing in the presence of God who is coming to judge the earth in the future.

           He is shouting for singing a new song before the Lord God, who comes to judge the earth. For that reason, it is said that God has won victory with his arms. It is also said that God has triumphed because He has let  known to all the earth about his salvation in the last six thousand years. He also informed all the nations of God’s righteousness, reminded them of mercy and truth about Israel, and testifies that all the ends of the earth saw God’s salvation.

         God is telling us to rejoice and sing loudly to the earth, which has been cursed by the sin of the first man, and has made thorns and thistles for the last six thousand years (Gen. 3:18). He also commands to shout to  the sea and its fullness, and to shout the world and everything in it, to clap even the floods, and commands the mountains to rejoice together.

        Unto all the inhabitants of the earth,  he is telling them to sing so joyfully before the Lord God who finally comes to judge the world. This is because God finally comes to judge the world by His righteousness, and because for his chosen Israelites he also judges with equity..

          That’s right! Of all creatures living on the earth, only human kinds have sinned before God. God made man from dust, but when he sinned, all the innocent soil on the earth cursed , and has been filled with thorns and thistles.

        For the last six thousand years, God has appealed to to the conscience of man, and wants them to live according to their consciences, but he had judged all people besides Noah and his family by seeing that the imagination of the minds of all hearts was evil (Gen. 6-7). ). Later, he gave his chosen Israel the Law, but except small number of  people all sinned leaving God rather  to worship idols.

        Finally, He sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to shed blood, to die, and to resurrect for the remission of sins for them all in the world. But except for the remnant of Jews and Gentiles, and most people still do not believe in Him.

        Finally, God will send forth the  Great Tribulation to the world and give them a final chance of salvation unto the Jew and Gentiles.  But they are going to say not to repent at all, but just small number of the Jews and Gentile shall  be saved through the fervent trial as testified by Apostle John. .

         Finally God declared that He would judge the world:

” And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. “(Revelation 11:18).

         God will judge those who have destryed the earth according to their greed without repentance before Him. They contaminated God’s-given fresh air, as well as all lands and seas, even contaminated all creatures, including all the innocent beasts, fowls and fishes of the sea,  for them to live  in pain. .

         Apostle Paul testified of the scene in which all creation suffers becaaause of man’s sin:

” For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

21Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. “(Rom. 8: 19-23 )

          That’s right! Only God’s children that are the brides of Christ, who have been forgiven of all their sins through repentance and the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ, are waiting for the day of God’s judgment for rejoicing and singing on that day.  Those who do not believe in the remission of sins through the shedding of Jesus Christ shall be judged shedding their own blood according to God’s law of justice.

           Jesus, who appeared in the form of Adam, died and resurrected  the third day  as Adam to have his bride, to be united in the church of God. At the end of the Great Tribulation, he will make the church of God, his wife, through the marriage of the Lamb. He will immediately open the heaven and come down to the earth to judge the world with his bride that is the church of God, and establish his kingdom.  Seeing this scene in the Holy Spirit, Apostle John testified:

” And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13And And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. ”(Rev. 19: 11-13).

         Apostle John also testified of Christ’s brides descending to earth with him:

” And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.” (Rev. 19:14).

        He continued to testify of  the judgment of the world in the battle of Armageddon:

” And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. ”(Revelation 19: 15-16).

          The prophet Isaiah also testified  that in the future Christ appears to judge the world  staining his garments red with the blood of those who not believe in him:

” Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

2Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?

3I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. 4For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.“(Isaiah 63: 1-4

        The prophet Zechariah also foresaw and witnessed the battle of Armageddon and the millennial kingdom of Christ:

” Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

4And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. . “(Zec 13: 3,4,9)

         Jesus Christ has his own righteous reason to judge the world. He decided to pardon the sins of all the people of the world, and and he came  in the likeness of sinner, and suffered all kinds of sufferings and insults, and shed all the blood of God, and died to redeem all the sins of all the people of the world. It is righteous for God to judge  them letting their own blood shedding for they not believed the blood of Christ. He has been waiting for the last two thousand years as if just two days. Those who are saved and become brides of Christ shall come down with Him on Judgment Day to help His judgments and sing new songs with all creation. In addition, in the Millennial Kingdom establishing on the earth, they  shall be a helping spouse  to rule the earth together. In the eternal world, they shall also be blessed to help His work that fills all things in the universe forever and ever. Amen! Hallelujah!
