Psalms 87 Study Notes

87:1ff Jerusalem (the holy mountain, Zion) and its Temple here represent the future community of all believers. This psalm looks ahead to the Holy City of God described in Revelation 21:10-27. The honor of living there will be granted to all whose names are recorded in the Lamb’s book of life (Revelation 21:27). It is God’s grace that forms and sustains this wonderful community. How could anyone refuse God’s offer to be part of this celebration?
