1 00:00:29,939 --> 00:00:33,459 And hopefully he's able physically to be here and make it 2 00:00:33,459 --> 00:00:33,939 next week. 3 00:00:33,939 --> 00:00:36,019 If not, we will be in Joshua again. 4 00:00:36,019 --> 00:00:39,779 One more message out of the Book of Joshua and then we'll be 5 00:00:39,779 --> 00:00:41,539 done, which is sad. 6 00:00:41,619 --> 00:00:43,299 I've enjoyed the Book of Joshua. 7 00:00:44,419 --> 00:00:46,979 Psalm 8 is one of my favorite psalms. 8 00:00:47,699 --> 00:00:49,699 It is a psalm of David. 9 00:00:50,819 --> 00:00:52,179 It is a song. 10 00:00:52,659 --> 00:00:53,299 Remember that. 11 00:00:53,299 --> 00:00:57,309 Now, the book of Psalms is a book of songs. 12 00:00:58,109 --> 00:00:59,869 It's Israel's songbook. 13 00:01:01,069 --> 00:01:05,949 And this particular Psalm, Psalm 8 is a messianic psalm. 14 00:01:05,949 --> 00:01:10,989 It is speaking and prophesying concerning the Messiah who would 15 00:01:11,228 --> 00:01:12,109 come one day. 16 00:01:12,189 --> 00:01:14,109 Now the Messiah has already come. 17 00:01:14,509 --> 00:01:16,509 Jesus Christ came 2,000 years ago. 18 00:01:17,069 --> 00:01:21,479 And we are approaching the Christmas season, even though some 19 00:01:22,199 --> 00:01:25,639 of you have already put up Christmas lights, which is against 20 00:01:26,039 --> 00:01:26,759 the rules. 21 00:01:28,039 --> 00:01:29,319 There are rules in place. 22 00:01:30,039 --> 00:01:30,999 That's supposed to be it. 23 00:01:30,999 --> 00:01:31,319 Thanks. 24 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,839 You'll notice our church hasn't put up any Christmas stuff 25 00:01:33,839 --> 00:01:34,119 yet. 26 00:01:34,679 --> 00:01:37,879 And that's because I'm just a hard. 27 00:01:40,279 --> 00:01:41,399 No, I don't know. 28 00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:43,799 Anyway, I'll stop. 29 00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:44,679 Because some of you. 30 00:01:44,839 --> 00:01:46,889 You're saying, well, he just doesn't love Jesus and. 31 00:01:49,279 --> 00:01:53,119 No, no, I haven't commercialized Christmas in any way. 32 00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:53,599 Oh. 33 00:01:53,759 --> 00:01:54,599 Anyway, we go back. 34 00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:57,559 I'm being sarcastic, and sometimes sarcasm will come back 35 00:01:57,559 --> 00:01:58,239 to bite you. 36 00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:04,239 But this psalm does speak about Jesus Christ. 37 00:02:04,559 --> 00:02:05,759 It's a Masonic psalm. 38 00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:09,519 It's speaking about him coming, and especially here, speaking 39 00:02:09,519 --> 00:02:10,559 about him reigning. 40 00:02:11,519 --> 00:02:12,319 Him reigning. 41 00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:13,519 One day he will be king. 42 00:02:14,359 --> 00:02:14,839 And they just. 43 00:02:14,839 --> 00:02:17,079 The choir just helped me out with the message this morning. 44 00:02:18,519 --> 00:02:19,559 Psalm of David. 45 00:02:19,799 --> 00:02:21,559 A wonderful messianic psalm. 46 00:02:22,279 --> 00:02:22,999 Let's look at it. 47 00:02:22,999 --> 00:02:23,719 Verse 1. 48 00:02:24,999 --> 00:02:27,759 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the 49 00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:28,119 earth. 50 00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:30,919 Who has set thy glory above the heavens? 51 00:02:31,799 --> 00:02:35,079 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength 52 00:02:35,079 --> 00:02:38,959 because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and 53 00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:39,639 the avenger. 54 00:02:40,429 --> 00:02:44,069 When I consider thy heavens, just think about David. 55 00:02:44,069 --> 00:02:44,589 Maybe. 56 00:02:45,869 --> 00:02:46,229 I know. 57 00:02:46,229 --> 00:02:47,229 We know he was a shepherd. 58 00:02:47,229 --> 00:02:50,509 Maybe he's under a tree, he's looking over his sheep. 59 00:02:52,269 --> 00:02:54,989 He's looking at the stars in the heavens. 60 00:02:55,869 --> 00:03:00,029 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon 61 00:03:00,029 --> 00:03:02,269 and the stars which thou hast ordained. 62 00:03:03,389 --> 00:03:07,409 What is man that thou art mindful of him or the Son of Man? 63 00:03:07,649 --> 00:03:10,529 That word Son of Man there is particularly speaking about dust 64 00:03:10,929 --> 00:03:14,289 frail, the Son of Man that thou visitest him. 65 00:03:15,089 --> 00:03:18,449 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels and 66 00:03:18,449 --> 00:03:20,289 has crowned him with glory and honor. 67 00:03:20,849 --> 00:03:24,129 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. 68 00:03:24,609 --> 00:03:29,449 Thou hast put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, yea, 69 00:03:29,449 --> 00:03:31,329 and the beasts of the field, and the fowl of the air, and the 70 00:03:31,329 --> 00:03:34,179 fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths 71 00:03:34,179 --> 00:03:34,739 of the sea. 72 00:03:35,859 --> 00:03:39,219 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth. 73 00:03:39,619 --> 00:03:40,219 Let's pray. 74 00:03:40,219 --> 00:03:41,699 Heavenly Father, Lord, we love you. 75 00:03:42,659 --> 00:03:47,659 And Lord, we do thank you for sending your son, Jesus Christ in 76 00:03:47,659 --> 00:03:52,579 this world, making him a little lower than the angels, him 77 00:03:52,579 --> 00:03:55,779 humbling himself in order that he might die on the cross for us, 78 00:03:56,499 --> 00:03:57,779 that we might have eternal life. 79 00:03:59,609 --> 00:04:01,609 But Lord, we know one day he will rule and reign. 80 00:04:02,009 --> 00:04:03,329 Lord, we're looking forward to that day. 81 00:04:03,329 --> 00:04:06,729 We're looking forward to the blessed hope, looking forward to 82 00:04:06,729 --> 00:04:09,049 his appearing in Jesus name. 83 00:04:09,049 --> 00:04:09,609 Amen. 84 00:04:11,289 --> 00:04:14,368 In Psalm 2, we have man's rebellion against God. 85 00:04:14,368 --> 00:04:20,089 And in Psalm 8 we have again the ultimate that ultimately man 86 00:04:20,489 --> 00:04:21,809 will control the earth. 87 00:04:21,809 --> 00:04:24,489 And by that means the God man, Jesus Christ. 88 00:04:25,979 --> 00:04:29,699 This psalm possibly was written by David after he had killed 89 00:04:29,699 --> 00:04:30,219 Goliath. 90 00:04:30,219 --> 00:04:34,699 That's kind of what the Jewish historians have marked down. 91 00:04:35,259 --> 00:04:39,739 Commentators have said this particular psalm is mentioned in 92 00:04:39,739 --> 00:04:41,939 the New Testament several times. 93 00:04:41,939 --> 00:04:44,779 At least four Matthew 21, which we'll talk about that in a 94 00:04:44,779 --> 00:04:45,099 moment. 95 00:04:45,259 --> 00:04:46,379 And Hebrews two. 96 00:04:46,619 --> 00:04:50,499 Those two we will go over, but also First Corinthians 15 in Ephesians, 97 00:04:50,499 --> 00:04:51,099 chapter one. 98 00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:55,799 Remember, I always like to point out when we talk about an Old 99 00:04:55,799 --> 00:04:58,599 Testament scripture being found in the New Testament that the 100 00:04:58,599 --> 00:05:00,439 New Testament writers wrote. 101 00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:03,639 In light of that, you already know your Old Testament. 102 00:05:04,679 --> 00:05:07,479 And though we are New Testament saints, we must understand 103 00:05:07,479 --> 00:05:10,519 that the New Testament is built upon the foundation of the 104 00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:11,399 Old Testament. 105 00:05:11,559 --> 00:05:14,399 If you truly want to understand the New Testament, you 106 00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:16,839 must understand and read the Old Testament. 107 00:05:17,679 --> 00:05:19,199 And again, it's just like building a house. 108 00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:20,599 You put a foundation down first. 109 00:05:20,599 --> 00:05:25,199 The foundation is so, so important to the rest of the structure. 110 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,399 If your foundation isn't right, the rest of the structure 111 00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:28,239 is not going to be right. 112 00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:29,599 And so that's the same thing. 113 00:05:29,679 --> 00:05:33,519 The interpretations of the New Testament doctrines come into play 114 00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:35,719 and are very important that we get it right. 115 00:05:35,719 --> 00:05:38,999 And the way we get it right is by having a good foundation and knowing 116 00:05:38,999 --> 00:05:39,919 our Old Testament. 117 00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:43,759 Again, one more time, the New Testament writers wrote, in light 118 00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:46,109 of that, you already know your Old Testament. 119 00:05:46,349 --> 00:05:50,269 So this particular Psalm is found four times in the New Testament. 120 00:05:52,269 --> 00:05:55,829 In Psalm 8, we have the importance of man by way of God's 121 00:05:55,829 --> 00:05:57,189 special creation of him. 122 00:05:57,189 --> 00:05:58,509 And we'll cover that in a moment. 123 00:05:58,909 --> 00:06:02,869 In Genesis chapter one, verse 26, we have that God placed Adam 124 00:06:02,869 --> 00:06:08,549 into the garden to have dominion over the earth, dominion 125 00:06:08,549 --> 00:06:14,679 over the animals, But Adam sinned through his selfishness. 126 00:06:14,679 --> 00:06:15,879 He took of the tree. 127 00:06:16,599 --> 00:06:22,359 He was not deceived like Eve, but he took of it willfully and thus 128 00:06:22,679 --> 00:06:25,159 plunged all of us into sin. 129 00:06:25,159 --> 00:06:28,999 We are all selfish by nature because of Adam's sin. 130 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,919 As is written, there's none righteous. 131 00:06:31,919 --> 00:06:32,759 No, not one. 132 00:06:32,919 --> 00:06:35,319 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. 133 00:06:36,609 --> 00:06:41,569 And so though Adam was put in creation and made distinct above 134 00:06:41,569 --> 00:06:46,689 all other of the creation, he fell into sin. 135 00:06:48,369 --> 00:06:54,689 So this psalm, though it's talking about man, is in view of 136 00:06:54,689 --> 00:06:56,289 talking about Jesus Christ. 137 00:06:57,089 --> 00:07:00,849 So as you read it, you go, okay, that applies to man, mankind, 138 00:07:01,929 --> 00:07:06,609 but ultimately it applies to Jesus Christ, who will rule and reign 139 00:07:06,609 --> 00:07:10,089 over the whole earth, who will have dominion over the whole earth. 140 00:07:11,129 --> 00:07:11,689 Amen. 141 00:07:13,689 --> 00:07:16,409 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. 142 00:07:16,409 --> 00:07:18,369 Thou hast put all things under his feet. 143 00:07:18,369 --> 00:07:20,329 Does mankind have all things under his feet? 144 00:07:20,809 --> 00:07:21,369 This side? 145 00:07:21,369 --> 00:07:21,969 Mankind? 146 00:07:21,969 --> 00:07:22,329 No. 147 00:07:22,649 --> 00:07:24,009 Will Jesus Christ have all things? 148 00:07:24,009 --> 00:07:26,209 Yes, all things under his feet. 149 00:07:26,209 --> 00:07:27,859 So you can. 150 00:07:28,019 --> 00:07:30,499 This psalm has two applications. 151 00:07:30,499 --> 00:07:34,979 One to mankind, and then one, of course, to Jesus Christ. 152 00:07:35,379 --> 00:07:37,219 Ultimately, it's talking about Jesus Christ. 153 00:07:37,219 --> 00:07:41,739 It's a messianic song speaking of the future Messiah and now the 154 00:07:41,739 --> 00:07:42,898 Messiah that's already come. 155 00:07:43,459 --> 00:07:48,499 So we see these two things, understanding that Jesus Christ is 156 00:07:48,499 --> 00:07:49,379 perfect man. 157 00:07:50,099 --> 00:07:53,739 Jesus Christ came to this earth and lived a life without sin. 158 00:07:53,739 --> 00:07:58,669 He was the perfect man and ultimately will be king. 159 00:07:58,669 --> 00:07:59,629 So let's get into this. 160 00:08:00,109 --> 00:08:02,029 We preached on this particular psalm before. 161 00:08:02,269 --> 00:08:03,949 Again, one of my favorite psalms. 162 00:08:04,509 --> 00:08:05,549 Look at verse one. 163 00:08:06,029 --> 00:08:09,269 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all the earth. 164 00:08:09,269 --> 00:08:12,709 That word excellent means incomparable, nothing like Him. 165 00:08:12,709 --> 00:08:19,069 He is Jehovah, L O R D. He is Lord, capital L O R D. He is Lord. 166 00:08:19,069 --> 00:08:20,909 He is the self existent one. 167 00:08:21,469 --> 00:08:22,829 He is wholly other. 168 00:08:24,029 --> 00:08:25,549 That means he's transcendent. 169 00:08:26,189 --> 00:08:27,629 There's no one like him. 170 00:08:28,509 --> 00:08:34,829 And to ultimately understand who he is, we're incapable of it. 171 00:08:35,709 --> 00:08:38,429 Now, I'm thankful that God wants us to know him, or else he 172 00:08:38,429 --> 00:08:40,429 wouldn't have given us the wonderful scriptures. 173 00:08:40,429 --> 00:08:40,749 Right?
