Psalm 22 –><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In Psalm 2:8-9, the LORD promises his King: “Ask of Me, and You I\u2019ll make Heir to earth and nations all. Them with iron rod You\u2019ll break, Smashing them in pieces small.” Psalm 21 anticipates the final fulfilment of this promise as God\u2019s King is publicly crowned to demonstrate his worldwide rule (21:3), granted eternal life (21:4) and given great glory (21:5). Above all, the King\u2019s joy comes from reigning in intimate fellowship with God his Father (21:6); his victory over death being the fruit of his faith in the love of the Most High (21:7). The King\u2019s victory also results in total destruction of all enemies, a burning up in righteous wrath of those who stand against God (21:8-12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dominant note in Psalm 21 then is the joy that comes from a certain confidence in the victory of God\u2019s King and the final return of Christ in glory. We do not see Christ now, he is seated at the right hand of the Father. Yet he has conquered death, his resurrection guaranteeing our salvation (1 Peter 1:8-9). And so we can look forward to his return without fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
