Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                 Psalm 145:13-19 (KJB)

Verse 13 clearly teaches that God's kingdom lasts forever, and His kingdom has "dominion" "throughout all generations." The phrase "all generations" can only mean all humans who have ever lived. The word "throughout" can only mean that God will extend His rule over every human who ever lived in His kingdom that lasts forever. In order to do this, God must save every human He has ever created from eternal, spiritual death, some by His grace and all others when Christ visits all of His living humans confined to the regions of death and causes them all to repent and return to faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; John 5:28-29 (KJB).

Verse 14 prophesies that God "upholdeth;" that is, saves, "all that fall;" that is, all sinners, which means every human who ever lived. God will raise from the dead "all those that be bowed down." This can only be a prophecy that God will visit all of His living humans confined to the regions of death, and He will cause them all to repent and return to faith in Him as their Savior so that He can resurrect them all back to life and recreate them all with a new life on His recreated earth. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).

Verse 15 teaches that all humans "wait" for God's salvation even though the atheists and other unbelievers have "changed the truth of God into a lie." Romans 1:25 (KJB). All humans yearn for some form of salvation, but most of them repress their yearning for God's salvation. The atheists look for some future, man-made utopia. Those who believe that physical death will annul their consciousness hope that that event will relieve them of the sufferings and pains of life. Just as a hearty meal will satisfy the hunger of every person, so God will give His "meat" in due time to every soul who yearns for His salvation.

Verse 16 teaches that since "the desire of every living thing" is life itself, then God will save the lives of all His living humans from the terrors of spiritual death.

Verse 17 teaches that God makes all of His ways and all of His works righteous and holy. This can only mean that everything that God creates can never become permanently unrighteous or unholy. God created all of His living humans to be righteous and holy. Genesis 1:27 (KJB). Whatever God creates lasts forever. Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJB). Living humans can become stained by sin and evil which needs to be cleansed and forgiven by God, but the living natures of humans can never be utterly destroyed by sin and evil. This fact can only mean that God will provide a salvation from sin, evil, and spiritual death for all His living humans that he creates in His image. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Revelation 21:5 (KJB).

Verses 18-19 prophesies that God will save by His grace all living humans who call upon Him in faith while still alive in the flesh. Romans 10:13 (KJB).

The spiritual death that the Devil injects into the inner beings of all of God's living humans causes all humans to sin and some to commit evil acts. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). The "seed" of the Devil is spiritual death. This spiritual death threatens to annul and eternally destroy the spiritual life that God puts into every human that He creates, but God can never lose anything He has ever created. Job 1:11-12; Job 2:5-6; Job 2:9-10; Ecclesiastes 3:14; Genesis 1:27 (KJB). Humans happen to be completely helpless to save themselves. But that which is impossible for humans is possible with God. Matthew 19:26 (KJB). The Lord Jesus Christ took all spiritual death, and all of the sins and evil that causes it and results from it, on Himself on a cruel cross and suffered its eternal effects in man's place. When Jesus rose from the dead, He turned eternal, spiritual death into temporary death. II Timothy 1:10; Revelation 1:17-18 (KJB). Jesus judged only the Devil and all his evil on the cross, not any of His living humans. John 12:31-32; John 12:47; I John 3:8 (KJB). Jesus did this to save all of His living humans from eternal death, some by His grace and all others in the end of the world. John 5:24; John 5:28-29; Revelation 5:11-14; I Corinthians 15:22; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).
