Now to the Psalter …

The Book of Psalms is called in the Hebrew Bible ‘Tehillim’ which means “praise songs.” Our English name comes from the Greek word ‘Psalmoi’ meaning “songs to the accompaniment of a stringed instrument.” Most of the Psalms were written between 1000 and 450 B.C. The most interesting Psalms to New Testament believers are the ‘Messianic Psalms’ that predict many details fulfilled when Jesus the Messiah (Christ) came the first time. There are also many predictions found of His second coming that we look forward to being fulfilled soon. If you have never read through the Psalms before you are in for a great blessing. The Psalms help bridge the gap for the modern believer between us and the ancient worshiper perhaps better that any other book in all the Scripture. We study … onward and upward. Pastor Ed
