Psalm 132: God’s Presence and His King

The Lord God promises to establish a place for His Presence on earth and set up a King to rule His kingdom on the earth; He uses David to initiate and secure the Place and the Throne; this Temple and King is Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of David, the Anointed One. He replaced the temple Presence and fulfilled the throne promise. This Man, the Son of God in human flesh, stood on the dusty earth and proclaimed the kingdom of God: “Repent and believe the Gospel.”

The Anointed would be given a horn and a lamp: the power to rule God’s people on earth and the light to shine on a darkened world. On Him the crown would sparkle and flourish, but His enemies will be clothed with shame, humiliation and defeat. He will gather a kingdom of priests (His followers and subjects); we the priests will be clothed with righteousness and with salvation while the people shout for joy.

The Anointed will live and rule among us, defeating our enemies, providing our needs, and giving the joy and blessings of righteousness and salvation. The Zion presence of God and the David rule of God is always and forever with us.
