“Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.”
Psalm 50:2 KJV
One of the twelve psalms written by Asaph, a Levite chosen by king David along with two others, to lead the worship in the tabernacle of David. This psalm has the prophecy of Zion, “God’s glory-light shines out of the Zion-realm with the radiance of perfect beauty.” Although Zion was the hill on which David put the ark of the covenant in the tabernacle, here Asaph is prophesying about God’s holy dwelling place, which is a place of refuge for God’s people. For it stands in Scripture: "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame." The Cornerstone of Zion is the Lord Jesus Christ and the perfection of His beauty and glory shines out of Zion. We, who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, are being prepared for we are a prepared people for Zion, the prepared place for us. Amen!
