“I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: Behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; This man was born there. And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: And the highest himself shall establish her.”
Psalm 87:4-5 KJV
The sons of Korah said in this psalm, “For the Lord says, “Here are the nations who will acknowledge Me as God: Egypt, Iraq, Palestine, and the Mediterranean people, even distant Ethiopia. They will all boast, ‘I was born in Zion!’ But over Zion it will be said, “The mighty Man was born there, and He will establish it.” For the God Most High will truly bless Jerusalem.” This is in anticipation of the nations of the earth coming to know Christ as the Eternal King. Rahab was the nickname given to Egypt by God for being proud and stubborn; Babylon which means “gate of God”; Philistia, which means “land of sojourners”; and Tyre, which means “a rock” - these nations will come to know Christ as Eternal King. Coming to know Christ will enable them to be born in Zion and the Most High will make them secure. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. All those in Christ shall come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering. On mount Zion stands the Lamb of God Who took away the sin of the world. Amen!
