A psalm.
The author of this song is unknown.
98:1 Sing to the Lord a new song, for he performs amazing deeds! His right hand and his mighty arm accomplish deliverance.
This new song is the song of redemption, which is mentioned in the Book of Revelation. When the Messianic King arrives, He will perform amazing miracles on the earth. His right hand and His mighty arm will accomplish deliverance not only of Israel, but of the Gentiles as well. Satan will be thrown into the Abyss for 1,000 years. The Antichrist and the False prophet will be thrown into the Lake of Fire. The demons will be imprisoned in Edom and Babylon. The earth will return to its Garden-of-Eden conditions. The wolf will lay down with the lamb. The Messiah will rule visibly and personally from Jerusalem. David will be His vice-regent. The church saints will co-reign with the Messianic King. Church saints will rule over the Millennial cities.
98:2 The Lord demonstrates his power to deliver; in the sight of the nations he reveals his justice.
The Messianic King will deliver the saints from under the authority of the Antichrist. The Messiah will use His omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence to establish the only righteous government in the history of the earth. The Messianic King will accomplish what the monarchies, socialists, democratic, and republic governments of history could never do.
98:3 He remains loyal and faithful to the family of Israel. All the ends of the earth see our God deliver us.
The Messianic King will be loyal to Israel. He will keep His promises of the Abrahamic Covenant. All of the Gentiles on the earth will personally witness the deliverance of Israel from the genocidal attempts of the Antichrist.
98:4 Shout out praises to the Lord, all the earth! Break out in a joyful shout and sing!
When the Messianic King establishes the Millennial Kingdom, all of the earth will praise and shout for the new King.
98:5 Sing to the Lord accompanied by a harp, accompanied by a harp and the sound of music!
Musical instruments will be used to glorify the Messianic King. It is legalism for local churches to ban musical instruments in their services.
98:6 With trumpets and the blaring of the ram’s horn, shout out praises before the king, the Lord!
Trumpets and rams horns will praise the Messianic King. The Millennial Kingdom will be a time of celebration. The Messiah will rule from Jerusalem. The devil and his demons will be imprisoned. There will be no Antichrist and no False Prophet. There will be no murderers, atheists, feminists, agnostics, evolutionists, thieves, lesbians, homosexuals, drug dealers, or evil men to prey upon others. There will be an angelic police force to eliminate crimes before they start, There will be no Democrats are Republicans to force their satanic world views upon the population.
98:7 Let the sea and everything in it shout, along with the world and those who live in it!
Creation is currently groaning. All of creation will shout when the Messianic King returns.
98:8 Let the rivers clap their hands! Let the mountains sing in unison 98:9 before the Lord! For he comes to judge the earth! He judges the world fairly, and the nations in a just manner.
Metaphors are often used in Scripture to teach a literal concept. The literal concept is that all of creation will rejoice at the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. When the Messianic King arrives, then He will need no Supreme Court filled with totally and depraved men. He will judge the earth Himself, but His judgment will be righteous, Their will be no corrupt judges in the Millennial Kingdom.
