Will God eventually triumph over the evils in this world? Whose side are we on? Let’s begin in Psalm 47.
Who should clap for God, just Israel or all the earth?
O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. (Ps 47:1-4 KJV)
What kind of song is mentioned four times that the nations should sing? Do we sing praises to God?
God has ascended with a loud shout, Yahweh, with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises; Sing praises to our King, sing praises. (Ps 47:5-6 LSB)
As a foregone conclusion, who will ultimately reign over the nations?
For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with a psalm of wisdom. God reigns over the nations, God sits on His holy throne. The princes of the people have assembled as the people of the God of Abraham, For the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted. (Ps 47:7-9 NASB)
Does God eventually reign over all the world, no longer the devil’s kingdom.
The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.” (Rev 11:15 NIV)
Will God eventually triumph over the evils in this world? Whose side are we on? You decide!
