This multitude of the faithful from all ages will constitute a “generation that seek the face of the God of Jacob”, v.6Psalms 24:6XWaiting for response who will receive the blessing of the LORD and be counted righteous by him. Psalm v.5Psalms 24:5XWaiting for response These blessings will be bestowed when Jesus returns from heaven with the power of God to raise the dead and overthrow the enemies of the LORD in the earth.
The scriptures foretell precisely how the nations will be placed at Jesus’ coming and, in particular, how he will reveal himself after a confederacy of nations have invaded and overcome Israel. Jesus will destroy these invading armies and come to Jerusalem as the king of Israel. This Psalm expresses the dialogue between the saints and the inhabitants of Jerusalem as Jesus approaches the city. The saints will call upon the citizens to open the gates for the King to enter.v.7Psalms 24:7XWaiting for response The Jews will naturally enquire who this “King of Glory” is v.8Psalms 24:8XWaiting for response and they will be told that it is “YAHWEH strong and mighty, YAHWEH mighty in battle”.v.8Psalms 24:8XWaiting for response This exchange will take place twice before the gates are opened and Jesus enters to the acclaim of the people, saying: “Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord”. Matthew 23:39Matthew 23:39XWaiting for response They will be in no doubt that their king is strong and mighty in battle because he will just have defeated the armies of the nations which have come against Jerusalem. YAHWEH means “he who shall be” and expresses God’s intention to manifest himself in Jesus and a great multitude of saints. When Jesus returns to Jerusalem, the innumerable multitude with him will be those upon whom God has written his name of YAHWEH, making them everlasting members of his family.
Just as a king's servant carries their king's name when doing the king's duty, Jesus carries God's name in this prophecy regarding Jesus' return.
The earth is the LORD’s and his purpose is to populate it with men and women who have characters like those described in Psalm 24.
