In the third section of Psalm 145, David talks about God’s everlasting kingdom. He begins this section, “All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee.” (verse 10) When the saints bless the LORD, what is it that they bless him for? Verse eleven says, “They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power.”
What is God’s kingdom like?
It is full of glory and power. We see that, in the end, the kingdom will be given to the Son and Jesus will reign. In Revelation 5:12 we read, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” Also, Revelation 11:15 says, “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.”
It is full of glorious majesty, “To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom.” (Psalm 145:12) At the end of the tribulation period, the saints that had victory over the beast and over his mark and over the number of his name will stand on a sea of glass with the harps of God and will “sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. 4) Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.” (See Revelation 15:3,4)
It is everlasting, and the LORD’s dominion will endure forever. “Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.” (Psalm 145:13) Hebrews chapter one explains more, “1) God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2) Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds… unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9) Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.” (Hebrews 1:1,2,8,9) This is a fulfillment of the prophesy in Psalm 45:6,7, “6) Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 7) Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.” Revelation 5:12 explains why God’s everlasting kingdom will be in the hands of God the Son. In that verse we read, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.”
There is so much more in Scripture about the great, majestic, glorious kingdom of God, but time and space do not permit me to expound on it here. If you have a Treasury of Scripture Knowledge (it may show up as TSK on Bible software), it is interesting to read the cross references recommended there. Also, if you have a Strong’s Concordance, it is interesting to look up all the references about the LORD’s kingdom. There are so many and the study of it is so rich that it would take days to go through all the references and cross references. Truly, there is no God so great as our God, and His greatness will endure forever and ever.
