Psalms. David was in his years of great expansion of kingdom and influence. For a long, long time he seemed like a "kid in a candy store", amazed at God's provision and his success. Picture him writing: "You quieted the raging oceans with their pounding waves and silenced the shouting of the nations." Psalm 65:7 (NLT) David knew what the "shouting of the nations" was about. Then, as now, they wanted to destroy Israel. Please understand that the shouting of the nations against Israel is a cry born from the mouth of Satan himself. Israel is God's chosen people and the enemy wants them destroyed. He has co-opted national politics to attempt that destruction all through the centuries. The turmoil will conclude at the end of the age, when the King of Kings and Lord of Lords returns to set up His kingdom. If you know Him, you will be part of it!
Psalm 69 includes several verses that were fulfilled in Christ. You may recognize them.
