Psalm 87

Brendaonline.com

87 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

The beginning of His house is in the holy mountain.  I want you to know where I got started and where you can find me.  I started and built my house so you can start low knowing you can climb high.  We can find God and go as high as He would allow.

2 The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

God loves the gates of Zion because it was a gate that anyone could enter.  Jacob had a lot; God loved Jacob and He loved Jacob enough to bring him into His (God's) space. Israel or sometimes he was called Jacob was brought to a place that was better than what he had been accustomed to.

3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

Where God lives is liberty!  No one can enter into God's House and leave and not tell somebody what it was like.  If you enter you will tell somebody!  It is impossible to know Him and keep Him a secret!

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

I will talk about how God brought or will bring those people who have been kept out or those who were not drawn to him from the beginning of time. Places like Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia are places that no one would have ever dreamed to be a part of God's city.  Gentiles are coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The places listed are places that religion or the Jews who refuse to believe will be shocked that the Gentiles are included.  After all, they were God's enemies!  Oh! Well!  Surprise Surprise the Gentiles will be there!

5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

Jesus was born in her.  To speak of a virgin having a baby will be the talk of the town.  Jesus who is the highest will include and establish his own mother as being a part of the church he will build for anybody who wants a part of Him.

6 The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

And a book shall be opened.  No man can number this book but God.  He only knows how many people will be counted in the book of His records.

7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

Not only will God have the number of residents who are numbered by Him, but the musicians will also be there and the singer too.  Everything that I want to come toward me will be there.  I will lack nothing.  I will spring into joy, laughter, new beginnings, water, leaping, new growth, and anything that a spring can produce, will be there just for me!!!!  I will miss out on nothing because You are there! So everything I will ever want is there too!
