诗二四1　 地和其中所充满的，世界和住在其间的，都属耶和华。

　　7~8 众城门哪，你们要抬起头来；永久的门户啊，你们要被举起；荣耀的王将要进来。那荣耀的王是谁呢？就是刚强大能的耶和华，在争战中有大能的耶和华！

　　在诗篇二十二篇，基督是救赎主和使人重生者，在二十三篇祂是牧者，在二十四篇祂是王，要借着召会，祂的身体，就是祂所救赎并重生、今天正在牧养的人，得回全地。基督第二次来时，要据有那已赐给祂作产业（二8）的地（启十1~2），并要在全地建立神的国（但二34~35，启十一15），因而恢复神对那被祂仇敌撒但所篡夺之地的权利（圣经恢复本，诗二四1注1）。

　　Psa. 24:1 The earth is Jehovah’s, and its fullness, the habitable land and those who dwell in it.

　　7-8 Lift up your heads, O gates; and be lifted up, O long enduring doors; and the King of glory will come in. Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty! Jehovah mighty in battle!

　　In Psalm 22 Christ is the Redeemer and the Regenerator, in Psalm 23 He is the Shepherd, and in Psalm 24 He is the King who will regain the entire earth through the church, His Body, the people whom He has redeemed and regenerated and is shepherding today. At His second coming Christ will take possession of the earth (Rev. 10:1-2), which has been given to Him as His possession (Psa. 2:8), and will establish God’s kingdom on the whole earth (Dan. 2:34-35; Rev. 11:15), thus recovering God’s right over the earth, which has been usurped by His enemy, Satan. (Psa. 24:1, footnote 1)

　　诗篇二十四篇启示基督在神的国里作王。那是在来世。……在一至二节我们看见，大卫领悟地和其中所充满的，世界和住在其间的，就是神奠定在海上，坚立在江河之上的，乃是神的国。

　　七至十节……给我们看见，得胜的基督在神永远的国里作要来的王。……众城门是列国的城门，门户是百姓的家门，永久指明恒切地等候并期待（腓三20，林前一7）。这指明地上的人一直等候并期待基督再来。哈该书二章七节告诉我们，基督是万国所羡慕的。一般说来，万国都在期待基督来临，但基督不会照着我们人的观念很快就来；因此，我们需要恒切地等候并期待祂的来临。……因着我们必须恒切地等候祂的来临，我们很容易就垂

　　 头丧气。……我们若期待我们所亲爱的人来，而他却不来，我们就会垂头丧气。但我们若接到他的电话，告诉我们他要来，我们就会抬起头来；那就是说，我们会受鼓励，期待他的来临。

　　我们必须抬起头来，因为荣耀的王将要进来（诗二四7、9，路二一27，太二五31）。我们必须预备好欢迎祂。诗篇二十四篇八节问：“那荣耀的王是谁呢？”荣耀的王就是“刚强大能的耶和华，在争战中有大能的耶和华”。耶和华就是耶稣，耶稣就是三一神在复活里的具体化身。祂是刚强争战且得胜的一位。

　　九节说，“众城门哪，你们要抬起头来；永久的门户啊，你们要把头抬起；荣耀的王将要进来。”七节说，“你们要被举起，”……被举起，意思是我们仍软弱，需要人推动我们。但〔九节说〕把头抬起，意思是我们比较刚强了，我们能自己把头抬起来。

　　二十三篇启示基督在祂的复活里作牧者；二十四篇启示基督在神的国里作王。阿利路亚，牧养的基督！阿利路亚，作王的基督！阿利路亚，我们的基督今天是我们的牧者，将来是我们的王！（诗篇生命读经，一八三至一八五页）。

　　荣耀的王是万军之耶和华，就是终极完成的三一神具体化身在得胜且要来的基督里（诗二四7~10，路二一27，太二五31）。耶和华就是耶稣（太一21与注），耶稣就是成为肉体、钉十字架并复活的三一神，祂是刚强争战且得胜的一位（启五5）；祂要在复活里同祂的得胜者回来据有全地作祂的国（但二34~35，七13~14，珥三11，启十一15，十九13~14）（圣经恢复本，诗二四7注4）。

　　参读：诗篇生命读经，第十一篇；诗篇中所启示并预表的基督与召会，第五章。

　　Psalm 24 reveals Christ as the King in God’s kingdom. This will be in the coming age. In Psalm 24:1-2 we see the realization of the earth and the fullness thereof, and the habitable land and those who dwell in it, founded by God upon the seas and established by Him upon the streams, as God’s kingdom.

　　Verses 7-10... show us the victorious Christ as the coming King in God’s eternal kingdom... [In verse 7] the gates are of the cities of the nations. The doors are of the houses of the people. The long enduring doors indicate waiting and expecting with long endurance (Phil. 3:20; 1 Cor. 1:7). This indicates that the people of the earth have been waiting and expecting Christ’s second coming. In Haggai 2:7 we are told that Christ is the desire of all the nations. All the nations, in a general way, are expecting Christ to come, but Christ would not come that quickly according to our human concept. Thus, we need to wait and expect His coming with long endurance. Because we must wait for His coming with long endurance, we have a tendency to drop our heads in discouragement... But if we received a phone call from [someone dear to us], telling us that he is coming, we would lift up our heads, that is, we would be encouraged to expect his coming.

　　We have to lift up our heads, because the King of glory will come in (Psa. 24:7, 9; Luke 21:27; Matt. 25:31). We must get ready to welcome Him. Psalm 24:8 asks, “Who is the King of glory?” The King of glory is “Jehovah strong and mighty! / Jehovah mighty in battle!” Jehovah is Jesus, and Jesus is the embodiment of the Triune God in resurrection. He is the One who is strong in fighting and victorious.

　　Verse 9 says, “Lift up your heads, O gates; / And lift up, O long enduring doors; / And the King of glory will come in.” Verse 7 says, “Be lifted up”... To be lifted up means that we are still weak, needing someone to move us. But to lift up [in verse 9] means we have become stronger. We can act to lift up ourselves.

　　Psalm 23 reveals Christ as the Shepherd in His resurrection, and... Psalm 24 reveals Christ as the King in God’s kingdom. Hallelujah for the shepherding Christ, and Hallelujah for the reigning Christ! Hallelujah for our Christ being our Shepherd today and our King in the future! (Life-study of the Psalms, pp. 148-150)

　　The King of glory is Jehovah of hosts (that is, of armies), the consummated Triune God embodied in the victorious and coming Christ (Psa. 24:7-10; Luke 21:27; Matt. 25:31). Jehovah is Jesus (Matt. 1:21 and footnote), and Jesus is the incarnated, crucified, and resurrected Triune God, who is strong in fighting and is victorious (Rev. 5:5). He is the One who will come back in His resurrection with His overcomers to possess the entire earth as His kingdom (Dan. 2:34-35; 7:13-14; Joel 3:11; Rev. 11:15; 19:13-14). (Psa. 24:7, footnote 4)
