Bill & Gloria Gaither - The Holy City [Live] ft. Larry Ford youtu.be/-nq7ZLofnpk Jerusalem, the City of the Great King In the prophets and Psalms, Jerusalem is a famous theme. In Psalm 48: 1,2,the importance of Jerusalem in the plan of God is shown. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. -Psalm 48:1,2 The Psalmist wrote, not primarily for his own time, but looking into the future, he was inspired to know that the time would come when Jerusalem should be the joy of the whole earth. Jerusalem was the city of the great king, but the King mentioned was not David nor Solomon, but a coming King. Jesus Himself quoted that phrase in Matthew 5:35 saying that none should swear by Jerusalem for it is the city of the great King. There would be no blasphemy in taking the name of a man in vain. This great King is Jesus, the Son of God, very God Himself. No one should swear by Jerusalem, because it is the city of Jesus, the great King--not because it is the city of king David. This proves surely that the literal city of Jerusalem will be the center of the reign of Christ. That coming great King will sit on His throne at Jerusalem, and then Jerusalem shall be the joy of the whole earth. When the Saviour returns to reign, when Israel is regathered and converted, when Jesus sits in the literal city of Jerusalem on the throne of David, then these prophecies about Jerusalem will be fulfilled. -Pgs. 101,102
