Bigger and bigger

In Psalm 132-134, you see how that this kingdom that’s there, the blessing is going to go out from it all the way over the whole earth.

Jordan says, “Psalm 132 is the essence of the Davidic covenant. The promise is, ‘I’ll come and tabernacle in your flesh, David, and I’ll be the messiah to Israel in your flesh.’ David is going to build God a house and God said, ‘You can’t build it. You’re a bloody man. I’ll let your boy build it. But I will build you a house. I’ll come and live in your flesh and of the fruit of thy body will I sit on thy throne.”

“Verse 13-14 says, “For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
[14] This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

“God picked a place on this planet where He was going to live. Then He picked a man and said, ‘I’m going to incarnate myself in your flesh, and when God became flesh, He didn’t become anybody’s flesh. He became flesh of the body and the lineage of David. And then He said, ‘God chose Zion.’

“Here’s a song that David wrote: Psalm 133:1 says, ‘Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!’

“That’s another one of those verses you see on church bulletins. And that hasn’t got anything to do with people getting along in church. It’s a good idea to get along in church. How beautiful and pleasant for the brethren to gather in unity is Ezekiel 47 when Ezekiel says, ‘God’s going to take two sticks; one the house of Judah, one the house of Israel, and bring them back and heal the breach between them and make them one nation again and they’ll be reunited into one nation again and that day’s going to be like the precious ointment upon the head that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard and went down to the skirts of his garment.’

“Stones represent the 12 tribes of Israel. And He’s talking about the blessing going all down over and extending all out across all of Israel as the dew of Hermon and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion. God’s blessing is going to go all down through Israel and the whole of the nation is going to experience this blessing that’s just going to get bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger!

“Verse 3 says, ‘For there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.’ The blessing’s going to be in Zion where the king lives, where Jesus Christ lives, and then from there it’s just going to go out all over Israel.

“You see it’s going to be the Redeemer who accomplishes this and gives the blessing. It’s going to start in Zion where Christ is and then it’s just going to extend all over the planet. He’s going to be the Blesser of all men.

“The result of that is Psalm 150:6: ‘Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.’ The zenith, the apex, the high point of praise to the Lord will be when He sits as King and Blesser in Zion and His blessings flow out across the earth.

“We now know it’s also going to extend out to the heavenly places. Israel wasn’t aware of that and only functioned in the earth, but the pinnacle of blessing and praising for the Lord comes when He’s the Blesser appointing the blessing and sending it out of Zion.

“So, as you go through the Book of Psalms, please don’t take it just as a daily devotion book. It’s a book of prophetic doctrine focusing on the mechanics of the accomplishment of the Davidic covenant. It explains how Israel, after the plight they find themselves in the Book of Job under satanic captivity, has their captivity turned. How it is that that happened and God blesses them and gives them double and gives them a new name.

“The explanation for the details of the mechanics of that turning of their captivity is found in those five books of the Psalms and those books are written in a way to focus the heart of the believers in Israel on their Messiah in all of those aspects that He will be unto them to keep their heart fixed on Him and when we get to Proverbs you’re going to see how they have wisdom from Him to deal with the details of life wisely, under the covenant of the law.

“In Ecclesiastes, they have an understanding of human viewpoint that’s designed to draw them away from divine wisdom, that only focuses on the sorrow and sore travail, and then in the Song of Solomon you see the attempt of the religious system in apostate Israel to lure away the Believing Remnant from fidelity to her Messiah, to her beloved, and the one thing that she does to remain faithful.”
