Psalm 45:9-17
Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 ¶ Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

Okay, now I'm gonna try to bring
a part two of Psalm 45. The last time we studied in Psalm
45 verse one down to verse eight, talking about the King of Kings
and Lord of Lords. And this evening from verse nine
down to verse 17. And I'm entitling the message,
it says twice in verse nine and again in verse 13, the king's
daughter. The king's daughter. Wouldn't
it be special to be THE KING'S DAUGHTER OR THE KING'S SON? THAT WOULD BE SPECIAL. IT WOULD
BE AN HONOR, WOULDN'T IT? IT WOULD BE A PRIVILEGE, WOULDN'T
IT? THAT IS TRUE OF EVERY SON OF GOD. WE ARE HIS FAMILY. HE BOUGHT US, HE MARRIED US,
HE CHOSE US. NOW, LAST WEEK WE... OR TWO WEEKS AGO, WE TALKED ABOUT
THE CONQUERING KING, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO DEFEATED ALL
OF HIS ENEMIES. As it says in verse one down
to verse eight, he went forth conquering in to conquer, and
we are more than conquerors to him that loved us. He has given
us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Now in verses nine
down through verse 17, we see the description of his church,
his church. You know what the word church
actually means? And we use that word really in
the wrong sense where we say what time is church service or
it's time to go to church. The word means called out, called
out. His people have been called out
of darkness into his marvelous light. He calls them the called
of God, the jewels of heaven, his church. THEY'RE CALLED HIS
BRIDE. IN THE REVELATION, THEY'RE KNOWN
AS THE LAMB'S WIFE. WOULDN'T IT BE SOMETHING TO BE
MARRIED TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST? ALL OF HIS PEOPLE ARE. AND HE
MADE US HIS WIFE, HIS CHOSEN, HIS BRIDE, BY HIS GRACE. IT WAS HIS CHOICE, NOT OURS.
REMEMBER OUR LORD SAID, YOU DIDN'T CHOOSE ME, BUT I'VE CHOSEN YOU.
GOD'S PEOPLE BELONG TO HIM BY HIS CHOICE, BY HIS GRACE, BY
HIS PURPOSE. THEY ARE ADOPTED INTO HIS ROYAL
FAMILY, BOUGHT WITH HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD, REDEEMED BY HIS GLORIOUS
POWER. THEREFORE, PAUL SAYS, YOU ARE
NO LONGER YOUR OWN. YOU'RE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE. THEREFORE,
GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY AND IN YOUR SPIRIT WHICH ARE HIS. OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, HE OWNS
HIS CHURCH. HE LOVED THE CHURCH AND GAVE
HIMSELF FOR IT. HE BOUGHT US WITH HIS OWN BLOOD.
AND HE CALLS HIS OWN PEOPLE THE KING'S DAUGHTERS. HE CALLS THEM
HONORABLE WOMEN. HE CALLS THEM THE QUEEN IN THE
GOLD OF OPHIR. HE CALLS THEM VIRGINS. HE CALLS
THEM PRINCESS. WHAT A BLESSING THEREFORE TO
BE CHOSEN OF GOD AND TO BE PART OF HIS ROYAL FAMILY. ADOPTED BY HIS SOVEREIGN LOVE
AND CALLED OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT THAT WE SHOULD
SHOW FORTH THE PRAISES OF HIM WHO CALLED US. WE PRAISE HIM
WHO HAS CALLED US. HE TRANSLATED US OUT OF THE KINGDOM
OF DARKNESS INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD'S DEAR SON. NOW, WHAT
A PRIVILEGE WE HAVE TO BE CALLED SONS OF GOD. LET US NEVER TAKE
IT LIGHTLY. NOW LOOK AT VERSE NINE. THE KING'S
DAUGHTERS, KING'S DAUGHTERS WERE AMONG THE HONORABLE WOMEN. UPON
THY RIGHT HAND DID STAND THE QUEEN IN THE GOLD OF OPHIR. REMEMBER
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS EXALTED TO HEAVEN AND SEATED AT THE RIGHT
HAND OF GOD. YOU KNOW WHO ELSE IS SEATED?
UPON THE THRONE, AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, THOSE WHO WERE IN
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. KING'S DAUGHTERS WERE AMONG THE
HONORABLE WOMEN. UPON THY RIGHT HAND DID STAND
THE QUEEN IN GOLD. THE GOLD OF OPHIR. EVERY BELIEVER
SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING IS A DAUGHTER OR A SON OF GOD BY HIS SOVEREIGN
SAVING GRACE. WE ARE CHOSEN CHILDREN GIVEN
TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IN THAT ETERNAL COVENANT. REMEMBER THE
LORD SAID ALL THAT THE FATHER HATH GIVEN TO ME THEY WILL COME
TO ME, AND I WILL NEVER CAST THEM OUT, AND THEY SHALL NEVER
LEAVE ME." WHEN JOHN WRITES ABOUT THE LOVE OF GOD, HE SAID, BEHOLD,
WHAT MANNER OF LOVE THE FATHER HATH BESTOWED UPON US THAT WE
SHOULD BE CALLED SONS OF GOD. WHAT A PRIVILEGE. WHAT AN HONOR
TO BE OF HIS HOUSEHOLD, TO BE CALLED BY HIS SOVEREIGN PURPOSE
AND GRACE, THE CHURCH IS ALSO DESCRIBED AS THE QUEEN AT HIS
RIGHT HAND. THE CHURCH SHARES HIS GLORY,
HONOR, EXCUSE ME, SHARES HIS HONOR, HAPPINESS, AND HOLINESS. HE PRESENTS US TO HIMSELF. REMEMBER,
HE SAYS OVER HERE, DON'T TURN, LET ME JUST READ IT TO YOU. CHRIST
LOVED THE CHURCH AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR IT. THAT'S PARTICULAR REDEMPTION,
IS IT NOT? DEFINITE ATONEMENT. ATONEMENT,
THAT HE MIGHT SANCTIFY AND CLEANSE IT WITH THE WASHING OF WATER
BY THE WORD, THAT HE MIGHT PRESENT IT TO HIMSELF A GLORIOUS CHURCH,
NOT HAVING ONE SPOT, NOT HAVING ONE WRINKLE, OR ANY SUCH THING,
BUT THAT IT SHOULD BE HOLY, AND IT IS. AND WITHOUT ONE BLEMISH. THAT'S THE WAY HE DESCRIBES US,
AND THAT'S THE WAY WE REALLY ARE. AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS
WORLD. NOW, WHAT A PRIVILEGE. I'VE OFTEN
SAID TO YOU OVER THE YEARS, WHAT'S THROUGH THE HEAD IS THROUGH THE
BODY. CHRIST IS OUR HEAD. AND WHERE
THE HEAD IS, THAT'S WHERE THE BODY IS, IS IT NOT? YOU DON'T
GO ANYWHERE YOUR BODY DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT YOUR HEAD.
WHEREVER YOUR HEAD GOES MAN THAT'S WHERE YOUR BODY GOES. AND THAT'S
TRUE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TOO. HE IS THE HEAD OF HIS BODY
AND WHERE HE IS WE ARE. AND WHAT'S TRUE OF HIM IS TRUE
OF US. THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS CALLED OUR FORERUNNER WHO
HAS ENTERED INTO GOD'S PRESENCE FOR US AND OCCUPIES THE THRONE
OF GOD, AND WE IN HIM AS OUR SUBSTITUTE, AS OUR REPRESENTATIVE,
WE'RE SEATED IN THE HEAVENLYS RIGHT NOW. DID YOU KNOW THAT? DON'T TURN. LET ME JUST READ
THIS TO YOU. WE'RE SEATED IN THE HEAVENLYS, EVERY BELIEVER. HE'S RAISED US UP. HE'S QUICKENED
US FROM THE DEAD, RAISED US UP. AND MADE US TO SIT TOGETHER IN
THE HEAVENLYS IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. AND PREACHER, YOU'RE
NOT IN GLORY YET, ARE YOU? MY BODY'S NOT, BUT I AM IN MY
LORD AS HE REPRESENTS ME. WE WERE CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, WE
WERE RISEN WITH HIM, AND WE'RE SEATED TOGETHER IN THE HEAVENLYS
IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST RIGHT NOW. ISN'T THAT GOOD NEWS? HE
SETS HER THAT IS THE KING IN A PLACE OF DIGNITY AT HIS RIGHT
HAND AND CLOTHES HER WITH THE BEST OF THE BEST. WHAT IT SAYS
DOWN THERE IN VERSE 9, THE GOLD OF OPHIR. I looked that up, and
you know what it means? That gold of Ophir is the best
gold. It is a purest gold. You look
at it through scripture, and whenever it talks about the finest
and best gold, it always talks about the gold of Ophir. You
see, everything God gives us is the best. It's excellent. It is superior. The Lord gives
nothing of secondary value but only the best. Therefore, the believer is divinely
arrayed in royal garments that he has provided for us. He clothed
us with a robe of righteousness and with the garments of salvation. He's imputed unto us an absolute
perfect righteousness, and he's even imparted unto us a divine
nature. THAT WE MIGHT LOVE AND BELIEVE
HIM. HAPPY AND BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO
ARE FOUND IN HIM. THEY'RE BLESSED. THEY'RE HAPPY.
UNHAPPY ARE THOSE THAT PERSECUTE THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, HIS CHURCH. FOR OUR RIGHTEOUS HUSBAND WILL
SPEEDILY AVENGE HIS OWN ELECT WHICH CRY UNTO HIM DAY AND NIGHT.
REMEMBER WHEN THE LORD ARRESTED SAUL OF TARSUS when Saul of Tarsus
had special permission to leave Judea and go into Damascus to
arrest those who were calling upon the name of the Lord Jesus.
And remember when the Lord came to him and arrested him, what
he said to him, why are you persecuting me? Oh, I'm persecuting those who believe
on you. You persecute them, you persecute
me. So that's, again, teaching that
union. And Christ is our husband. Isaiah talks about that. He said,
for thy maker is thy husband, the Lord of hosts is his name,
thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole
earth, shall he be called. The husband always defends the
wife. That is true, so much, exactly
so, of the Lord Jesus Christ that he defends. He so much loves
his own people that he died to save them. And if you see that
on the news the other night where a man was in the Bahamas somewhere,
I think it was, and he was with his wife and his children, and
someone knocked on his motel room door and posed as a doorman
or something or someone who worked in that facility and he gained
access into the room and took out a knife and proceeded to
rob the family and the husband defended himself and his family
and killed that man. We're so screwed up in our justice
AMONG MEN THAT THEY CHARGE THAT MAN WITH MURDER. DEFENDING HIS FAMILY, THE GUY
ATTACKS HIM WITH A KNIFE AND DEFENDS HIMSELF AND KILLS THE
THIEF AND ROBBER AND THEY CHARGE HIM WITH MURDER. THAT'S SO SCREWED,
SCREWED UP IS IT? PARDON MY SLANG. BUT THAT'S,
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU SAY ABOUT IT? THAT'S MESSED UP JUSTICE. GOD'S
JUSTICE IS NOT LIKE THAT. His justice is holy, perfect,
and right. But he gave himself for our sin
and put away our sin by the sacrifice of himself. Now, look at verse
10. Hearken, therefore, O daughter,
you are the king's daughter. The king's daughter has an ear
for the king's word. The king speaks with a command
that the daughter THE KING DOESN'T SPEAK IN SUGGESTIONS. THE KING
SPEAKS WITH A COMMAND, AND THAT'S TRUE OF GOD, OUR KING. HARK,
AN OLD DAUGHTER, AND CONSIDER, AND INCLINE THINE EAR, AND FORGET
YOUR OWN PEOPLE AND YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE. LIKE RUTH SAID TO NAOMI,
WHEREVER YOU GO, SHE'S GONNA FORGET HER MOBOT FAMILY. WHEREVER YOU GO, YOU'RE GOING
BACK TO JUDAH, THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING. Wherever you go, that's
where I'm going. Your God is my God, remember? So, incline and listen. Every precept or word spoken
by our king is most worthy of our attention. He says unto us,
hearken, consider, and incline thine ear. Our whole being should
be ready and willing to receive his word. Don't you wish you
could study and meditate and hear the word as we ought to?
This flesh is such a hindrance to our spiritual being, but we
do receive the word of God as the word of God, not the word
of Paul or Peter or John, but as it is in truth the word of
God, you receive and believe the word, it'll be a blessing
to you. IT'LL BE A BLESSING TO YOU. FAITH COMES BY HEARING,
AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF THE LORD. WE'RE TOLD TO BE SWIFT
TO HEAR, SLOW TO SPEAK. WE'RE TOLD TO DESIRE THE SINCERE
MILK OF THE WORD. THIS IS THE KING COMMANDMENT. HE SAID, MY SHEEP, THEY DO HEAR
MY VOICE. I KNOW THEM. I GIVE UNTO THEM
ETERNAL LIFE, AND THEY FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF THEIR LIFE. NOW, WHERE HE SAYS, FORGET ALSO
THINE OWN PEOPLE. THE LORD IS NOT TEACHING US HERE
TO TURN OUR BACK ON OUR FLESHLY FAMILY. REMEMBER, THE LORD IS
A FAMILY MAN. HE TOLD THAT WILD GATORINE, GO
HOME TO YOUR FAMILY AND TELL HOW GREAT THINGS THE LORD HAS
DONE FOR US. BUT WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT HERE
IS WE'RE MARRIED TO THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS.
THEREFORE, WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH, IT'S LIKE WE HAVE FORGOTTEN OUR
FAMILY. We're so in love with him and
enamored with him, it as though we have forgotten and forsaken
our family. And when a young bride, by way
of illustration, is married to that husband, and they're united
in marriage, she now has all her devotion and attention to
her husband. to her head, her home, and so
much so that it would seem she has forsaken her family. Believers
are so taken up with the Lord Jesus Christ. Brother Mahan preached
a very good sermon back in 1982 from Psalm 45, and his text was
verse two, grace is poured into thy lips. But he started his
message this way, kind of, and I've listened to this message
before, but it kind of, go and listen to it sometime. Psalm
45 from 1982. But he started the message this
way. He said, I have a confession
to make. He said, I'm going to confess this before this congregation. I'm going to confess this before
the city of Ashland, before my family, my wife. I have a confession
to make. And I'm thinking to myself, what's
he going to say? But his text was this here. He
said, I'm in love with the Lord Jesus Christ. That's pretty good. That's a
pretty good way to start a statement. RESTORE THE MESSAGE, IS IT NOT?
LOOK AT VERSE 11. SO SHALL THY KING GREATLY DESIRE
THY BEAUTY, FOR HE IS THY LORD. WORSHIP THOU HIM. NOW IT GOES
BACK TO WHAT WE READ OVER HERE IN EPHESIANS, CHAPTER 5. NO MAN
YET EVER HATED HIS OWN FLESH, BUT NOURISHES AND CHERISHES IT,
EVEN AS THE LORD, THE CHURCH, FOR WE ARE MEMBERS OF HIS BODY,
OF HIS FLESH AND OF HIS BONES. So shall the king greatly desire
thy beauty. Now, by nature, do we have any
beauty? All of our natural righteousness,
he says, is filthy rags in his sight. But he has made us beautiful. Through his comeliness, we are
made beautiful. So shall the king greatly desire
thy beauty. You see, he is the Lord, our
righteousness, and he desires that which he has given unto
us. For he is thy Lord, worship thou
him. The Lord Jesus loves and delights
in his church. He sees beauty in her, the beauty
which she has graciously bestowed upon her. You remember from our
study in the Song of Solomon, where it says, thou art fair,
my love, there's no spot in thee. We read over here in Ephesians
5, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not
having spot or wrinkle or any such thing. That's beauty, is
it not? IN HIS SIGHT, BUT THAT IT SHOULD BE HOLY AND
WITHOUT A BLEMISH, NOT ONE MARK. THOU, LORD, SHOULDEST COUNT INIQUITIES,
WHO SHALL STAND, BUT THERE IS FORGIVENESS WITH HIM. WE ARE
ACCEPTED IN THEE, BELOVED. THOU ART FAIR, MY LOVE, MY DOVE,
MY UNDEFILED. THERE'S NO SPOT IN THEE. No spot
in thee. He presents us unto the Father,
holy and unblameable in his sight, and he does so able to keep us
from falling and to present us faultless, and he does so with
exceeding joy. He says to the Father, oh, look
at my beautiful bride. Isn't that what the bridegroom
says to his dad? Man, here comes the bride. Look
at her, dad. She's my bride. He's taken up
with the bride. He is thy Lord, and because he
is thy Lord, we worship him. SAVIOR IS OUR SOVEREIGN OUR LORD
OUR KING AND RULER WE DELIGHT IN HIM WE BOW UNTO HIM BECAUSE
WE LOVE HIM WE REVERENCE HIS NAME WE DELIGHT TO WORSHIP HIM
WE DELIGHT TO SERVE HIM LEAVING ALL OTHERS AND CLEAVING ONLY
UNTO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST OUR HUSBAND AND OUR HEAD HE MAKES
US WILLING IN THE DAY OF HIS POWER LOOK AT VERSE 12 AND THE
DAUGHTER OF TYRE shall be there with a gift. Even the rich among
the people shall entreat thy, it says favor there, but a better
word, a marginal reference, shall entreat thy face, thy person. Our Lord said, look unto me and
be ye saved. The daughter of Tyre shall be
there with a gift. The daughter of Tyre are those
who are not Jewish by birth, THEY ARE OF THE GENTILE NATION,
BUT GOD HAS AN ELECT OUT OF EVERY KINDRED, TRIBE, TONGUE, AND NATION
UNDER HEAVEN. THE DAUGHTER OF TYRE, THE LORD
HAS AN ELECT AMONG THE HEATHEN GENTILE NATION THAT SHALL BE
CALLED OUT AND WILL GIVE THEMSELVES UNTO THE LORD IN SUPPORT OF THE
MINISTRY OF THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. THE LORD CALLED
OUT THAT There in the coast of Tyre, remember that woman of
Canaan, who had the daughter that was grievously vexed, and
she sought mercy of the Lord. And the disciples said, go away,
eat of that time for you. And she kept on crying. And the
Lord said, I'm not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of
Israel. And she kept on crying. Lord,
have mercy upon me. And the Lord, he said, It's not
right to take the children's bread and give it to dogs. She
said, Lord, I'm your dog. Will you feed me? And he did.
He did. He gave her mercy, showed her
mercy. The woman of Canaan was of the daughter's attire. The Lord had mercy upon her.
The woman at the well of Samaria was another Gentile mixed breed
dog. The Lord said I must need to
go through Samaria because of that woman was one of God's elect. And then Lydia was of the city
of Thyatira, remember? God opened her heart through
the preaching of the gospel. And that whole church of Philippi,
I'm talking about the day of small things, that whole church
of Philippi started with one woman, A business woman that
was there on a business trip who just bumped into the gospel,
wasn't by accident, but by purpose. And then Paul later was put in
jail in the same city, and there was a jailer there who heard
the gospel. God saved both of them. That ministry started there in
Philippi out of that ministry. Look at verse 13. The king's
daughter is all glorious within. The true beauty of every believer
is not outward beauty, she's glorious within. You see that? Christ in you is the hope of
glory. All glorious within. Her clothing, like the gold of
Ophir, is wrought of gold, wrought of gold. Only the best is reserved
for every believer, the best material, the best workmanship. He's worked on us. God, who has
begun a good work in you, will finish it. We are His workmanship
created in the Lord Jesus Christ. How carefully and painfully did
our Lord work out our salvation, our redemption, with the precious
blood that flowed from His body, and He's given us a glorious
robe of salvation that He freely gives unto us. Her clothing is
the best. Christ is the Lord, our righteousness. My personal righteousness before
God, is not one that's wrought of my hand. It's wrought of his
hand that's freely imputed unto his people. Her clothing is wrought
of gold, precious, precious material. Verse 14, she shall be brought
unto the king in the raiment of needlework. THE VIRGIN HER
COMPANION THAT FOLLOW HER SHALL BE BROUGHT." NOTICE, THEY'RE
BROUGHT UNTO THE KING, THEY'RE BROUGHT UNTO THEE. OUR LORD SAID,
REMEMBER, NO MAN CAN COME UNTO ME EXCEPT THE FATHER WHICH SENT
ME. DRAW THEM, BRING THEM. BECAUSE OF OUR SIN, BECAUSE OF
OUR DEADNESS, WE MUST BE MADE QUICK AND ALIVE BY GOD AND BROUGHT
TO THE KING. He's a captive of our salvation
who's bringing many sons into glory. The Lord Jesus Christ
suffered once for our sin, just for the unjust that he might
bring us to God. She shall be brought and she
comes willingly in the day of his power. DAY OF HIS POWER, THAT'S PSALM
110, THY PEOPLE SHALL BE WILLING IN THE DAY OF THINE POWER IN
THE BEAUTIES OF HOLINESS FROM THE WOMB OF THE MORNING THOU
HAST TO DO OF USE. YOU SEE, HE MADE HIMSELF UNTO
US ALL TOGETHER LOVELY AND WE MUST HAVE HIM. GOD'S PEOPLE ARE
IN LOVE WITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THEY'RE BROUGHT UNTO HIM
IN A Raymond, fashioned by his hand, it's a needlework. Now, I don't know a whole lot
about sewing. Some of you ladies do. But a
needlework is a very precise work, is it not? A needlework
is something that you designed and planned and purposed and
sewed together with great detail. And that's the very righteousness
we have before God is Christ, this Raymond of a needlework.
HIS OBEDIENCE, HIS FAITHFULNESS UNTO DEATH, THE SHEDDING OF HIS
BLOOD. NOW, I LOVE VERSE 15. WHEN THE PRODIGAL CAME BACK HOME,
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THE FATHER SAID? BRING THE BEST ROBE AND
PUT IT ON HIM. SLAY THE FATTED CALF, LET US
make merry, let us be glad. Verse 15, with gladness and rejoicing
shall they be brought, they shall enter into the king's palace. Now, you don't get into the king's
palace just by waltzing up there and knocking on the door and
demanding upon the energy of your name and upon the energy
of your flesh. Go over there to Windsor Castle
sometime and try to gain entrance into the queen palace upon your
name. Who are you? My name is Tom. Where are you from? Kentucky.
I wouldn't get past the guard, would I? No, but look here. With gladness and rejoicing,
shall they be brought, and they shall enter into the king's palace. He brings us right into the very
presence of God. Brought by his grace, they shall
enter into glory. What a joy in being brought unto
the Lord Jesus Christ. What a joy to enter into everlasting
glory of the celestial city whose builder and maker is God, and
there abiding with the Lord Jesus Christ forever. So shall we ever be with the
Lord, wherefore comfort one another with these words. With gladness
and rejoicing, They shall be brought and they shall enter
into the king's palace, into the throne room and sit down
upon the throne in Christ. Verse 16, instead of thy father
shall be thy children. The Lord saved the people out
of Abraham's race, out of Isaac's race, out of Jacob's race, Out
of Judah's race, out of David's race, generation after generation,
the Lord has not left himself without a witness. That's what
he's saying there in verse 16. Whom thou mayest make princes. Oh, we're not only the king's
daughters, but he's made us royalty. We're princes. IN ALL THE EARTH. YOU REMEMBER REVELATION 5, UNTO
HIM WHO... REVELATION 1, VERSE 5 AND 6,
UNTO HIM WHO LOVED US, WASHED US FROM OUR SIN, AND HIS OWN
BLOOD HAS MADE US KINGS AND PRIESTS UNTO OUR GOD, AND WE SHALL HAVE
GLORY IN HIM. HE MAKES SINNERS INTO PRINCES,
AND THE SERVANTS OF CHRIST ARE MADE KINGS AND PRIESTS UNTO OUR
GOD. Verse 17, I'll make thy name
to be remembered in all generations. How many generations of sinners
have died, another generation come along and they've died,
another generation, his name has always been remembered among
men. Therefore, Shout the people praise
thee forever and ever. You remember the book of. Psalm closes with that statement
all the way through the book of Psalms remember. LET EVERYTHING
THAT HATH BREATH PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE YE THE LORD. THEREFORE
SHALL THE PEOPLE PRAISE THEE FOREVER AND EVER. IT STARTS HERE,
BUT IT NEVER HAS AN END. THAT'S WHAT ETERNITY'S ALL ABOUT,
WORTHY OF THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN TO RECEIVE ALL HONOR, GLORY AND
BLESSING BOTH NOW AND FOREVER.
