PSALM 45:
|
EXPLANATION:
MAS'KIL: Sing with discernment,
having knowledge of its meaning.
|
| Verses
(1) to (7) |
|
Concerning a king, Christ Jesus. |
|
(13) |
The
king's+ daughter
is all glorious
within [the house];
Her clothing is with settings of gold. |
(13) |
This
King+ is Jehovah Himself.
The "daughter" of God is the "bride"
of
Christ: 144,000 anointed ones.
(Rev 21:9). |
|
(14) |
In woven apparel
she will be
brought
to the king. |
(14) |
"She" and "her" is the "bride"
of Christ. |
| |
The virgins in
her
train as
her
companions are being brought in to you. |
|
The virgin
"companions" at the marriage of the
"bride" are as an undefiled escort. They are all the members of the
"great crowd". (Rev 7:9,10. John 10:16. Zech 8:23). The exceptions are those among them that are the male
offspring of anointed ones. These are not of the "companion"
class, as the "companions" do not have anointed fathers. |
|
(15) |
They will be brought with rejoicing
and joyfulness;
They will enter into
the palace of the king. |
(15) |
"They" are the "bride" and
her virgin "companions". |
| |
|
|
"…an indefinitely lasting covenant I shall conclude toward them. And their
offspring will actually be known even among the nations, and their
descendants in among the peoples. All those seeing them will recognize them,
that they are the offspring whom Jehovah has blessed."
(From Isaiah 61:8,9) |
|
(16) |
In place of your forefathers
there will come to be your
sons, |
(16) |
"Your" is Christ Jesus.
"In place of"
the forefathers of Jesus that lived before
Christ was born on earth, there will come to be his earthly spiritual
"sons". |
| |
Whom you will appoint*
as princes in all the earth. |
|
"Whom you will appoint"*:
Christ himself will appoint spiritual princes on earth,
"sons" of Christ and his "bride" class wife (of their
marriage), which will occur after the resurrection of his "bride"
class. |
|
The princes will be the fruitage of this
marriage. Her "sons" are not all of the "great crowd"
of "companions". Therefore, the princes can only be those
appointed from the "fruitage" (Matt 7:17,18) of approved
anointed ones; their sons in a fleshly and spiritual sense,
who will reside on earth. They are the offspring of the priests of Jehovah
described in Isaiah 61:5-9.
