In Psalms chapter forty five David said, “The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto you. With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace”, and in chapter forty five and verse sixteen of Psalms David said, “Instead of your fathers shall be your children” where we read,
Instead of your fathers shall be your children, whom you may make princes in all the earth.
The verse begins, “Instead of your fathers shall be your children, ...” David began with the words, “Instead of your fathers” or “in the place and position belonging to the immediate male ancestors and progenitors of your, the royal king's daughter” “shall be your children” which means “will exist your, the offspring and progeny of the royal kings daughter”. David said the offspring of the royal ruler's daughter would exist in her “fathers'” position.
The verse goes on to say, “... whom you may make princes in all the earth.” David continued with the words, “whom you may make princes” or “and toward those children, the royal king will produce and provide rulers, chiefs, officials and captains” “in all the earth” which means “within the entire and whole land, country, territory and world”. David said the royal king would produce leaders, captains and chiefs from the offspring of the royal king's daughter.
When we think through the words in this verse, we see how David declared the offspring of the royal ruler's daughter to not only be in her “fathers'” place but also to be put in positions of authority and rule. God's desire is to have people believe and trust in His Son Jesus as their “Savior and Lord”, and this is why He sent Him to die on the cross for the sins of all mankind. When we surrender our lives to Him, we become the bride of Christ and invite others to become believers in Jesus. Those who yield to Him will rule and reign with Him, (See Revelation 5:10) and for all eternity they shall worship and serve the “Royal King and Messiah Jesus”.
Next time David says, “I will make your name to be remembered”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
Until tomorrow…there is more…
