As we reflect on the Old Testament commanded Feast of Tabernacles, this verse in the psalm is especially meaningful.
Psalm 102:16
For the LORD will rebuild Zion and appear in his glory.
In the millennium, the Lord will rebuild Jerusalem and He will appear
there, once again coming to “tabernacle” with His people.
Psalm 102:18 Let
this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may
praise the Lord.
What a wonderful way to think about
Scripture - that it was written with us in mind so that we may read
it and praise His name.
Psalm 106 is an example of reviewing all
the things that God has done for His people. Something that we should do
as well - remember all the things that God has done for us collectively as a
nation, as a church, and as individual believers.
Psalm 102:25-27
In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are
the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear
out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded.
But you remain the same, and your years will never end.
The earth and the heavens will one day
perish.
2 Peter 3:12-14
as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will
bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will
melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward
to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. So then, dear
friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found
spotless, blameless and at peace with him.
The heavens will be destroyed by fire and there will be a new heaven and a new
earth.
Revelation 20:11
And I saw a great white throne, and Him sitting on it, from whose face the
earth and the heaven fled away. And a place was not found for them.
Revelation 21:1-2
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the
first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw
the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
What an image!
