https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 2 * BOOK 79 PART 4 of the MESSIANIC PROPHECIES – PART 2 Psalms 45, 46, and 47 All right, let’s just go right in to where we left off in our last half hour in Psalms chapter 45. We just established in our closing remarks that this is a Messianic Psalm, because the Book of Hebrews quotes it word-for-word. These are indeed the words of the Lord Jesus as the Holy Spirit inspired David to write them. Now always remember the timeline. David’s writing in 1,000 B.C. But as we’re going to see in one of our later programs, if I get that far, the Holy Spirit evidently prepared some of these Psalms to be used at a later time by Israel’s King. It’s just one of the amazing aspects of Scripture. So, he is writing in 1,000 B.C. these very things that were spoken and fulfilled at the time of Christ’s first advent. Now we come into something that is further into the future. And that is the reference to when He becomes not only the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, but He’s going to be the bridegroom. We’re going to look at that aspect in the rest of this chapter. And the language is so evident. Psalms 45:8-9a “All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. (In other words, all the perfume that was attendant with the bride.) 9. Kings’ daughters were among thy honorable women:…” In other words, what we would call the bridesmaids and so forth—the wedding company. Psalms 45:9 “Kings’ daughters were among thy honorable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.” Now when you think of someone being dressed in gold, what do we call it? Gold what? What’s the word? Lamé, isn’t it? That’s right. Gold Lamé, it’s just like thin tissue paper. It’s gold, but it feels like a material. Well, that’s exactly what the ancients would do when they had all the wealth from their subjects. So here we have the beauty of this glorious union between the bridegroom and his bride. All right, before we go any further, I’m probably going to shock some of you as I was almost shocked as I started chasing some of these things down. Turn with me to Isaiah. You know, when I get ready for all of these things, I have to make up my mind. Am I going do this early or late? Shall I do it after I’ve taught the chapter or before we teach it? So, I’m going to take it before. Turn with me to Isaiah chapter 62. I may get some repercussions. I don’t know. Somebody may just say “Les, you’re nutty as a fruitcake.” But I’m going to go where I feel the Book is teaching. Isaiah chapter 62 and we’re going to establish who this bride is who is going to become part of the bridegroom who is the King and the Messiah and God the Son. Isaiah 62:1 “For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.” Who are we talking about? Jerusalem. I wish you could have been with us the other day. Am I right, Roberta? Chuck? Jodi? Did you see it? Oh, what a glorious panorama, even from the wicked situation it is today. Can you imagine it when it becomes the capital of the Prince of Peace, and it’s going to be the capital of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth? It just boggles the mind. And that’s what I want you to get a glimpse of now—that this is what the Psalm is referring to. All right, reading on in Isaiah 62. I don’t want to read too much, or I’ll lose your attention. But on the other hand, nothing speaks better or louder than the Scripture itself. All right, verse 2: Isaiah 62:2-3 “And the Gentiles (Now we will see reference to them back in Psalms 45.) shall see thy righteousness, (Well, that’s not evidenced today. Oh, anything but. But the day will come when Jerusalem will be the epitome of righteousness.) and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. 3. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem (which speaks of kings and queens) in the hand of thy God.” Now remember, what are we talking about? Jerusalem. Don’t forget that now. Isaiah 62:4 “Thou (Jerusalem) shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but, thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land called Beulah: (You know the song “O Beulah Land.”) for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be (What?) married.” You weren’t expecting language like that, were you? But this is the whole concept. When Christ returns and sets up His capital on Mount Zion, where David had his in the city of Jerusalem, it will be God’s bride. All right, let’s read on. This is too good to leave. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
