Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                 Psalm 76:9 (KJB)

The prophets, and Jesus Himself, often spoke in the eternal sense; that is, they sometimes spoke of future events as if they had already happened. John 17:4 (KJB). Psalm 76:9 prophesies about God's final judgment in the end of the world as if it had already happened.

This verse also prophesies that at that time God will "save all the meek of the earth." Who are these meek? Jesus prophesied that the meek shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5 (KJB). Jesus also prayed to His Father that His Will be done on earth to the same extent that His Will will be done in Heaven. Matthew 6:10 (KJB). These meek cannot be humans saved by grace because they inherit eternal life in Heaven. John 17:24 (KJB). But since the Father's Will must be the same for earth as it is for Heaven, then these meek must inherit an eternal life on the earth.

The sin that God hates the most is the sin of pride. Since this sin can only be a deliberate sin, then it is also evil. Proverbs 6:16-17 (KJB). Evil pride stems from the spiritual death that the Devil has injected into the inner beings of all humans. Genesis 3:15 (KJB). Evil pride causes humans to either ignore God or to outright reject Him. Evil pride is allied with Satan in rebellion against God. Romans 1:18-32 (KJB). When humans hear or read the gospel, pride, more than any other sin, causes most of them to reject God's salvation by His grace. They can only deliberately choose to reject God's Love.

When any human hears or reads the gospel that Jesus suffered and died on a cross and was resurrected from the dead to save him from all sin, evil, and eternal death, then the first sin that that person must repent of is the sin of pride. I Corinthians 15:1-4; I Peter 5:5 (KJB). That person must humble himself to God, repent of his sins, which means he learns to hate his sins and no longer wants them, puts his faith in the fact that only Christ can save him from his sins, and he submits his life to the service of Christ forever. Galatians 2:19-20 (KJB).

Since all humans retain their sinful pride, except for those who become saved by grace, then there can be no special class of people called the meek. When all prideful people die, Christ must consign their souls and spirits to one of the three regions of death because they retain their sins, especially the sin of pride. Hebrews 9:27; John 8:23-24; Revelation 20:13 (KJB). Christ allows humans saved by grace to go straight to Heaven. II Corinthians 5:5-9 (KJB).

But God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). This fact can only mean that God has devised a plan to save all of His living humans that He has created and loves from the regions of eternal death. Christ will appear to them in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to repent, humble themselves to Him, and put their faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Christ will then use His fiery wrath to separate their repentant, living natures from their spiritual deaths. When they humble themselves to Christ, He will use His fiery wrath against evil to purge their sinful pride which is a part of their spiritual deaths that He will cast into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). In this way, Christ will save from eternal death all of His living humans confined to the regions of death, and He will recreate them all to be the meek that will inherit His new earth. I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB).
