Another description of Messiah's
Kingdom conquering the world is Civ
ell In the 9th Psalm. There is no
doubt that this is the prophetic picture
here given. His Kingdom, like David's
and Solomon's of old, will be Jehovah's
| Kingdom; but, unlike theirs, His will
be the higher, the spiritual. Heavenly.
We read. Clouds and thick darkness
are round about Him: righteousness
and justice are the foundations of His

Soon the next verse will have fulfil

Kingdom will affect them. saying.

and poor-"Ye that love the Lord. hate
ye the evil. He will preserve the
