The Lord Will

Psalm 102:22

β€œWhen the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 102

Meaning

The horizon widens to many peoples under God's worship. The verse should not be weaponized for empire, forced religion, or nationalist projects.

Enduring God, restored Zion, future praise

God's permanence, compassion for Zion, attention to the destitute, and praise extending to future generations and nations.

Read carefully

It envisions gathered worship; it does not command coercive expansion.

Reflection

Keep worship of God distinct from coercive political projects.
