My NJB calls this an eschatological hymn. While I agree that it is referring to God, I don’t see it as an end-times psalm. I think this is an Israel-centric psalm, and some things mentioned in it aren’t quite accurate.
Here’s one example: “He brings peoples under our yoke and nations under our feet.” While it’s [...]

I suppose this psalm could be considered as a simple historical piece, a prayer and praise to God which talks about Jerusalem and God’s saving presence there, but I think it’s much more than that.

The following passage explains it, and it’s taken from “The Great Controversy”, a book written by Ellen G. White, one of the most published and translated writers of all time. If you are unfamiliar with concepts such as the time of the end, the investigative judgment or the prophecies of Daniel, including the 2300 day [...]
