ONE FOR ISRAEL Ministry


"A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain." (Ps 127:1). God is not only a master builder, he is also a master-rebuilder. Solomon's words about the Lord "building a house" take on a whole new meaning when we consider them in the the context of the book of Psalms. God had promised to build David a house (2 Sam 7), and for this reason many psalms celebrate (by faith) the rule of the future Davidic King (Ps 2; 18; 20-21; 45; 72; 89:1-37; 110; 132). One of the most important psalms in the macro-structure of the book, however, laments the tragic downfall of David's house (Ps 89:38-51). King David, and his sons who followed him, actively participated in tearing down this house brick by brick till the golden crown lay in the dust and the city with its temple and palace were completely burned to the ground (Ps 89:39). But the Master Rebuilder, who cannot lie (Num 23:19), lifted David's crown out of the dust and ashes when he raised Jesus (David's greatest son) from the dead (Rom 1:4), thereby declaring that no house, no city, and no people are too far gone that God cannot rebuild it again. "In that day I will raise up the fallen booth of David, and wall up its breaches; I will also raise up its ruins and rebuild it as in the days of old" (Amos 9:11).
