Psalm 24
Three main
parts:
A. vv. 1-2, Creation
B. vv. 3-6, Godly man
C. vv. 7-10,
Ultimate King
A. Creation
Earth, seas,
and rivers were created and established by the LORD. Note that the LORD is a
personal name. It’s not just a force or abstract deity – it is YHWH whose name is
Living One. Therefore, He is the source of live for the universe!
B. We had a
similar double question in psalm 15 – who can?
“Requirements”:
1. Clean hands
2. Pure heart
3. Does not life up his soul to what is false –
doesn’t participate in idolatry
4. Does not
swear deceitfully
Lord’s response:
1. Blessing
2. Righteousness
3.
Generational establishment
C. Ultimate
King
Military
commander of the [angelic] armies (cp. Joshua 5:13-15 and Luke 2:13-14).
He comes through the gates and doors – why gates
first?
See the promise of God to Abraham, Gen. 22:17
And its
fulfilment, Matthew 16:16-18
