Another Perspective on Psalm 89

We all know that in the Old Testament, prophets prophesied about Jesus, while prophesying about present day cities and people. But did you know that that was also the case in Psalms? Psalm 89 is one of those. In Psalm 89, God is talking to and about David, and yet when we look closer, it seems that he very well could be talking about Jesus! Here are 4 examples of verses from Psalm 89 and then a verse from the New Testament that is talking about Jesus.

Psalm 89:25 – I shall also set his hand on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
Hebrews 2:8 – “YOU HAVE PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET.” For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him.

Psalm 89:32 – Then I will punish their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
Revelation 2:27 – “AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES,” as I also have received authority from My Father…

Psalm 89:36 - His descendants shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before Me.
Hebrews 1:8 - But of the Son He says, "YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER, AND THE RIGHTEOUS SCEPTER IS THE SCEPTER OF HIS KINGDOM.”

Psalm 89:27 - I also shall make him My firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.Revelation 17:14 - These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings…
Hebrews 1:5 - For to which of the angels did He ever say, "YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU"? And again, "I WILL BE A FATHER TO HIM AND HE SHALL BE A SON TO ME"?
