The blessedness of the righteous.

In the words before us we have??

I. THE QUALITIES OF THE RIGHTEOUS DESCRIBED. These are:

1. That they worship the true God.

2. That they worship him truly.

3. They serve him obediently.

II. THEIR BLESSEDNESS ASSURED. They have the promise of:

1. Plenty.

2. Security.

No robber should trouble them.

3. Victory.

4. Multiplication.

5. Divine favour.

(a) His tabernacle was amongst them in the wilderness. What miracles of mercy were shown to them then!

(b) How glorious were the days of Solomon when the Shechinah entered the temple.

(c) His tabernacle was set among his people in the presence of Jesus (John 1:14). But they did not know the blessedness of their day

(d) How blessed is the mystical incarnation of Christ in the believer! (John 6:56; 2혻Corinthians 6:16-18; 2혻Corinthians 7:1).

(e) The glory of the tabernacle will culminate in the new heavens and earth (see Revelation 21:3).

All this blessedness was pledged in the emancipation from the bondage of Egypt (Hebrews 10:13). More fully in the redemption of the gospel typified thereby.?봋.A.M.
