Psalm 24:7-10 "Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. Who is the King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty; the Lord, invincible in battle. Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors. and let the King of glory enter. Who is the king of glory? The Lord of Heaven's Armies-He is the King of glory."
Here the writer is asking for the temple doors to be opened for Yahweh's entrance. This name is used in Exodus 4:13; Joshua 3:11; 1 Kings 22:6; Zechariah 9:4; Genesis 15:2; 2 Samuel 7:18-19; Isaiah 61:1;
Ezekiel 25:3; Ezekiel 37:3; Amos 7:1.
In this reference the call goes out to open the gates, as a picture of the gates of heaven - which open to welcome Jesus home. Who is the King of glory? Yes, He is the very One who won the victory on the Cross of Calvary.
Now you may be asking; Why is this second call repeated? Because 2,000 years have passed. The first time Jesus came as a victor, by himself as a baby coming to die for the sins of the world. The second time, He will come with His army-you and I. (Jude 14)
He ascended into heaven and now is currently preparing heaven for us and will one day descend in the clouds to take us to our home in heaven. (1 Thess. 4:17) We'll meet Him in the clouds, and He'll take us to heaven. Oh, what a glorious day.
SO GO WITH GOD for He is daily entering our hearts as our royal king, desiring the reign supreme in our lives. Purposing to care, direct, protect, and bring unlimited blessings into our lives. He desires to bring glory, honor and majesty to our otherwise simple human lives. Oh, my dear one, let Him enter your life today and guide you through all of life's challenges for this day. He will never allow you to be caught off guard or surprised. Oh let the King of glory enter and bring His glory into your life.
