96:1 Sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth! 

 

During the Millennial Kingdom, all of creation will sing a new song. According to the Book of Revelation, the new song will be the song of redemption.

 

96:2 Sing to the Lord! Praise his name! Announce every day how he delivers! 

 

The songs of the satanic world system glorify sex, drugs, death, and satanism. The satanic world system hates Christ, but they love sin. This can be seen in the songs of the modern cultures of the world. Socrates said that if you gave him the songs of the culture, then he could control the youth. The songs of the Millennial Kingdom will glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

96:3 Tell the nations about his splendor! Tell all the nations about his amazing deeds! 

 

The splendor is the Shechinah Glory.  The Shechinah Glory will rule from Jerusalem in the form of the Lord Jesus Christ. Believers in the Millennial Kingdom will be able to witness the Lord Jesus Christ performing some amazing miracles.

 

96:4 For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise; he is more awesome than all gods.

 

All of the other gods were non-existent. They were nothing but wood and stone idols which were instigated by demonic influences. However, men who were void of Bible doctrine worshiped them. 

 

If a man is void of Bible doctrine, then he will fill his soul with false doctrine. Many members of cults, isms, charismatics, and seeker churches will fall into satanic deception, but think that they are serving God. Atheists, agnostics, and evolutionists will become so confused, that they will believe that nothing exploded into everything and lifeless dirt became alive.

 

96:5 For all the gods of the nations are worthless, but the Lord made the sky. 

 

There is no sky god called Zeus, Jupiter, or Allah. God created the sky. Men with strong Bible doctrine will worship God. Men with weak Bible doctrine will worship creation. Evolutionists worship the Great Nothing. They are so superstitious, that they think that nothing exploded into all things.

 

96:6 Majestic splendor emanates from him; his sanctuary is firmly established and beautiful. 

 

If taken literally from the Hebrew language, this verse reads “Honor and majesty are before Him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.” The idea is that the Shechinah Glory is present in the human form of the Lord Jesus Christ in the sanctuary of the Millennial Jerusalem.

 

96:7 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the nations, ascribe to the Lord splendor and strength! 

 

During the Millennial Kingdoms, all of the families in all of the nations will praise the Lord Jesus Christ for His splendor and strength. 

 

96:8 Ascribe to the Lord the splendor he deserves! Bring an offering and enter his courts! 

 

During the Millennial Kingdom, all of the nations will bring offerings to the Messianic King in His courtroom in Jerusalem. The Lord Jesus Christ will judge and rule from Jerusalem. He alone will decide the court cases between nations.

 

96:9 Worship the Lord in holy attire! Tremble before him, all the earth! 

 

During the Millennial Kingdom, the Lord Jesus Christ will not be a profane word. He will be worshiped by everyone. When believers worship the Lord Jesus Christ, then they will wear their best clothes. They will not wear blue jeans to church. They will tremble before Him, meaning that they will know and respect His omnipotence.

 

96:10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns! The world is established, it cannot be moved. He judges the nations fairly.” 

 

During the Millennial Kingdom, the nations will give a glorious message. Satan has been displaced from the earth. The Lord reigns. The world is established. It will never be shaken and made dizzy by satanic forces. Jehovah will establish court and establish a government where justice prevails.

 

96:11 Let the sky rejoice, and the earth be happy! Let the sea and everything in it shout! 

 

The sky, earth, and sea were not local deities, as many pagans imagined. They were all creations created by an eternal and omnipotent Creator. Currently, creation is groaning. They will all rejoice when Christ returns.

 

96:12 Let the fields and everything in them celebrate! Then let the trees of the forest shout with joy 13 before the Lord, for he comes! For he comes to judge the earth! He judges the world fairly, and the nations in accordance with his justice.

 

The pagan nations worshiped fields, tress, wind forests. They worshiped the creation rather than the Creator. If people do not take the time to possess strong Bible doctrine, then they will end up worshiping the creation rather than the Creator. When the Lord Jesus Christ returns to earth at His Second Coming, then all of creation will worship Him. Even the unbelievers will bow down and acknowledge Him as Lord.
