Answers to Queries on Psalm 24.

Bible Treasury, 2nd Edition, Volume 1, August 1857. [1st Edition answer is different]

[01 1857 241]

This is truly a millennial psalm, in the form of a dialogue of which there are many instances in the Hebrew writings (Ps. 91:, Isa. 53:4). It contains just an acknowledgement of Jehovah's title to the earth — He founded it and established it; it is His and all that it contains. Then follows the question "Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah?" etc. The answer is, he of clean hands and a pure heart, free from idolatry and profaneness. Such shall be blessed; and such is the generation to come. But when the godly remnant shall thus appear, another appears at their head, the suffering Messiah, the Shepherd of Israel, the King of glory entering by the everlasting doors. Who is he, this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates. Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory, erst a reproach of men and despised of the people, yea forsaken of His God on the cross. What a discovery for Israel!
