The "fear of the LORD" is a recurring theme in the Bible, often associated with wisdom and obedience (<a href="/proverbs/9-10.htm">Proverbs 9:10</a>). It signifies a deep respect and acknowledgment of God's power and holiness. In the context of <a href="/psalms/22.htm">Psalm 22</a>, which begins with a cry of anguish and ends in praise, this call to praise reflects a shift from suffering to trust in God's deliverance. The exhortation to praise is a common biblical response to recognizing God's sovereignty and faithfulness (<a href="/psalms/33-8.htm">Psalm 33:8</a>).<p><b>All descendants of Jacob, honor Him!</b><br>The "descendants of Jacob" refers to the Israelites, the chosen people of God, tracing their lineage back to Jacob, also known as Israel. This phrase emphasizes the covenant relationship between God and the people of Israel. Honoring God involves recognizing His authority and living in a way that reflects His character and commandments. Historically, the Israelites were called to be a light to the nations, demonstrating God's holiness and justice (<a href="/isaiah/49-6.htm">Isaiah 49:6</a>). This call to honor God is a reminder of their identity and purpose as His people.<p><b>All offspring of Israel, revere Him!</b><br>The "offspring of Israel" reiterates the call to the nation of Israel, emphasizing their collective identity and responsibility to revere God. To "revere" means to hold in deep respect and veneration. This reverence is not just an emotional response but involves a commitment to worship and obedience. The use of both "descendants of Jacob" and "offspring of Israel" highlights the continuity of God's promises from the patriarchs to the present generation. This reverence is also prophetic, pointing to the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who is the true Israel and through whom all nations are blessed (<a href="/galatians/3-16.htm">Galatians 3:16</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal existence and faithfulness to His promises.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/d/descendants_of_jacob.htm">Descendants of Jacob</a></b><br>Refers to the Israelites, the chosen people of God, who are called to honor and praise Him.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/o/offspring_of_israel.htm">Offspring of Israel</a></b><br>Another term for the Israelites, highlighting their identity as God's covenant people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/p/psalmist.htm">Psalmist (David)</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed to King David, who often expressed deep trust and reliance on God through his psalms.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/f/fear_of_the_lord.htm">Fear of the LORD</a></b><br>A reverential awe and respect for God, recognizing His holiness and authority.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/r/reverence_for_god.htm">Reverence for God</a></b><br>The call to "fear the LORD" is a call to live in awe of His majesty and holiness.
