“In His temple doth every one speak of His glory”—Psalm
29:9. Seven expressions of the power of Jehovah’s
voice glorify Him. Therefore, the Psalmist exclaims
excitedly, “Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give
unto the Lord glory and strength (or might).
Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name;
worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.”
The New Testament answer to those seven voices is
‘the seven thunders’ which will utter their voices
very soon. “And I saw another mighty angel come
down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a
rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it
were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: and
he had in his hand a little book open: and he set
his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on
the earth, and cried with a loud voice, as when a
lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders
uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I
heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up
those things which the seven thunders uttered, and
write them not”—Revelation 10:1-4.
David said, “The voice of the Lord is upon the
waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is
upon many waters”—Psalm 29:3. The majesty of
His might is manifested in nature – in the raging
sea, in the foaming billows, in the devastating
tempest that uproots forests and capsize gigantic
buildings. The Hebrew for ‘mighty’ (29:1) is
rendered ‘sons of the mighty’ in Psalm 89:6. When
the bass solo – the song of thunder of seven sublime
strains – will be sung, the glorified saints in the
holy temple on high will shout GLORY! They
will ascribe to Jesus Christ, the then-reigning
King, “the glory due unto His name”—Psalm
29:2. Apparently, our Lord will be sitting upon the
floods, the turbulent nations – ruling them,
conquering them, ‘dividing the flames’ of fiery
judgments.
“He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh”
at the vain imaginations and rage of the nations –
Psalm 2:1-4. By spiritual television, John saw and
heard ‘the sons of the mighty’ shouting together,
against the Lord and against His anointed, saying,
let us break their bands asunder, and cast away
their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens
shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
There is recorded in Psalm 18:35-50, a dozen and a
half of supplementary utterance of wonderful
rewards. They are unusually striking and
instructive – for example: “Thy gentleness hath
made me great.” “Thou hast girded me with strength
unto the battle.” “A people whom I have not
known shall serve me. As soon as they hear of me,
they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit
themselves unto me.” Such language looks
forward to the dominion and authority that Jesus
Christ shall have during the Millenium. This Psalm
certainly pictures the sublime rest that our Lord
will enjoy after the wedding in Heaven and after
“He shall have put down all rule and all authority
and power’ in heaven and on earth (See I
Corinthians 15:24). He will be abundantly satisfied
with the many sons brought to glory (see Hebrews
2:10).
By
spiritual television, John saw and heard ‘the sons
of the mighty’ shouting Alleluia!’ Their voices
will be “as the voice (one voice) of many
waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings,
saying ALLELUIA: for the Lord God omnipotent
reigneth”—Revelation 19:6.
