SING AND REJOICE FOR THE LORD IS COMING

Proclamation:
“Let all creation rejoice before The Lord, for He comes, He comes to judge the earth.  He will judge the world in righteousness and the people in His faithfulness.”  Psalm 96:13 (NIV)

Explanation:
This psalm was written by King David under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God.  It was first sung at the bringing of the Ark of the Covenant from the house of Obededom to the city of David. (1 Chronicles 16:7-14)  This psalm is also a prophecy of the coming of The Messiah and a calling to the Gentiles that believe in Him.  He is coming to judge all of the inhabitants of the earth, past and present, according to their works, words, and thoughts. (Revelation 20:12-15) 

Application:
Believers are encouraged to sing and proclaim the good news of The Lord to all the earth. (Psalm 96:1-6)  He is great and worthy to be praised.  There is also good cause for celebration because He is coming back.  He is coming to judge all of the people of the earth.  All those who believe will be saved, and all of those who don’t, won’t be. (John 3:16 and Romans 10:9)
