And when Israel worshipping the 178 00:17:32,450 --> 00:17:37,730 temple, they use only four instruments guiding nabasa, 179 00:17:37,740 --> 00:17:44,310 natin, sating, text, symbols, harps, liars and trumpets. 180 00:17:44,380 --> 00:17:48,150 You, lemon pop. Not many instrument to the 181 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:54,010 liking of the people, but it is in obedience to God's 182 00:17:54,020 --> 00:18:00,850 commandments in Second Chronicles 9, 25 to 26. 183 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,170 Joy to the earth. Lastly, black brothers and 184 00:18:08,180 --> 00:18:14,110 sisters, the Psalmist doesn't call only Israel and the whole 185 00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:20,650 world to sing joyful songs to God concerning Natin. 186 00:18:20,660 --> 00:18:28,920 He also called nature to do the same in in stanza #1 known 187 00:18:28,930 --> 00:18:32,540 adding in now with Joy to the World. 188 00:18:32,770 --> 00:18:39,250 Isaac What's rights or roads in heaven and nature? 189 00:18:39,260 --> 00:18:42,610 Singh. And in some stanza tu he 190 00:18:42,620 --> 00:18:47,650 elaborates that even further. And Sabiya, fields and floods, 191 00:18:47,740 --> 00:18:54,180 rocks, hills and plains, sing with joy at the coming of the 192 00:18:54,190 --> 00:18:57,900 Lord. This is the paraphrase of Psalms 193 00:18:57,910 --> 00:19:04,020 98, verse 7 to 8. Magkapatid let the sea roar and 194 00:19:04,030 --> 00:19:09,360 all that feels it. The world and those who dwell in 195 00:19:09,370 --> 00:19:13,280 it. Let the rivers clap their hands. 196 00:19:13,460 --> 00:19:21,720 Let the hill sings joy together. The Salamis uses what we call in 197 00:19:21,730 --> 00:19:28,880 theology, a literally literary device called personification, 198 00:19:29,530 --> 00:19:36,090 to dramatise that the whole creation also praises God, not 199 00:19:36,100 --> 00:19:41,590 only us, not only the world, but also the but also nature. 200 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:52,230 But when Christ returns, creation itself will be set free 201 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:59,300 from its bondage to corruption, and we wait eagerly for the 202 00:19:59,310 --> 00:20:07,490 redemption of our bodies. Makati But our restoration to 203 00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:14,920 perfection is the Ohh is not is only one aspect of his second 204 00:20:14,930 --> 00:20:18,480 coming. The other aspect serves as a 205 00:20:18,490 --> 00:20:24,140 warning to unbelievers and rebels against God. 206 00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:29,450 The whole creation will rejoice at His coming because he will 207 00:20:29,660 --> 00:20:36,080 complete our salvation. But we will also rejoice because 208 00:20:36,090 --> 00:20:41,010 he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with the 209 00:20:41,020 --> 00:20:47,520 righteousness and the peoples with equity and Pangalawang, 210 00:20:47,530 --> 00:20:51,840 Pangyayari, Magaganap all at once. 211 00:20:52,670 --> 00:20:56,540 Gayan and Sabis are also screened and also some nice and 212 00:20:56,550 --> 00:21:03,900 Creed reflects verse 9. When we affirm from heaven, he 213 00:21:03,910 --> 00:21:07,800 will judge the living and the dead. 214 00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:17,780 It is indeed a Him for both his first coming or related seeing 215 00:21:17,830 --> 00:21:22,220 and also a Him for his second coming. 216 00:21:23,770 --> 00:21:30,650 And that is why using verse 8 as a fruit text to encourage people 217 00:21:30,660 --> 00:21:38,040 to clap during worship services in placing of God is wrong who 218 00:21:38,050 --> 00:21:41,660 are clapping. It is the rivers who are 219 00:21:41,670 --> 00:21:46,890 clapping, not the people. And why are they clapping? 220 00:21:47,140 --> 00:21:52,820 Because the Lord is coming to judge the earth, the most common 221 00:21:52,830 --> 00:21:56,980 reason for clapping is to rejoice at the judgment or 222 00:21:56,990 --> 00:22:01,710 destruction of someone. For example, we read in Nahom 223 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:07,900 319 All who fear, all who hears the news about you, neither way 224 00:22:08,470 --> 00:22:17,020 love their hands over you. We can also see in Job 272334 to 225 00:22:17,030 --> 00:22:24,340 37 and then sounds 47 verse one and two and also in Lamentations 226 00:22:24,350 --> 00:22:37,400 215 and Ezekiel 6/11/25 verse 6 and also in Asia 551223 also 227 00:22:37,410 --> 00:22:41,820 says mountains, hills and trees will clap. 228 00:22:42,860 --> 00:22:47,350 Why will they clap? Because God has redeemed his 229 00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:55,930 people and restored the whole creation, brothers and sisters, 230 00:22:55,980 --> 00:23:02,490 The prophecy of Psalms 98 that all the world and the creation 231 00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:10,120 will sing joyful praises to God started being fulfilled when 232 00:23:10,190 --> 00:23:17,100 Christ our Lord was born 2000 years ago in His first Advent. 233 00:23:19,390 --> 00:23:24,380 The gospel of Christ has reached all the nations of the world and 234 00:23:24,390 --> 00:23:32,630 continues to save God's people. May our partner, Stanza, Sport 235 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:39,820 and Joy to the World at Isasama Line Status a Lines #3 and Sabi 236 00:23:40,790 --> 00:23:45,260 no more. Let sins and sorrow grow, nor 237 00:23:45,270 --> 00:23:50,860 thorns infest the ground. He comes to make his blessings 238 00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:55,950 flow as far as the curse is found. 239 00:23:57,140 --> 00:24:03,490 While this is not found in the book of Psalms chapter 98, I 240 00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:10,190 suck what's refers to the fall of Adam into sitting in the 241 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,530 Garden of Eden. God places a curse of sin and 242 00:24:14,540 --> 00:24:21,310 death to all mankind and all nature that only the seed of the 243 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:28,820 woman, Adam's wife, could break. That's the first gospel in Jan 244 00:24:28,930 --> 00:24:38,160 in Genesis chapter 3. Let Jesus, the child born in 245 00:24:38,170 --> 00:24:44,430 Bethlehem, was the seed who would banish the curse and bring 246 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:50,320 blessing to all who would believe in him, according to 247 00:24:50,330 --> 00:24:58,180 Romans 1620 and in Galatians 446 and also in Hebrews 2 to 4. 248 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:05,910 In the second Carol we sang today, we expressed joy, praise 249 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:11,510 and gratitude to God, who has saved us from the slavery of sin 250 00:25:11,740 --> 00:25:17,090 and who will complete our salvation in His second Advent. 251 00:25:17,830 --> 00:25:24,820 All these songs are new songs for us who believe because God 252 00:25:24,830 --> 00:25:30,950 has shown His mercy, His new mercies in Christ our Saviour. 253 00:25:31,990 --> 00:25:37,440 Therefore, we look forward to the joy to the world in the 254 00:25:37,450 --> 00:25:43,040 heavenly assembly in Revelation 5, verse 9. 255 00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:51,180 And they sang a new song, saying, Worthy are you to take 256 00:25:51,190 --> 00:25:58,250 the scroll and to open it Seals, for you were slain, and by your 257 00:25:58,260 --> 00:26:07,120 blood you ransome people for God from their tribe and language 258 00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:12,030 and people and nation. Amen.
