In biblical context, "the nations" often refers to Gentile peoples outside of Israel. The fear of the LORD is a recurring theme in Scripture, signifying awe, reverence, and respect for God's power and holiness. This prophecy anticipates a time when all peoples, not just Israel, will acknowledge God's sovereignty. This is echoed in passages like <a href="/isaiah/2-2.htm">Isaiah 2:2-4</a>, which envisions a future where all nations stream to the mountain of the LORD. Historically, Israel was surrounded by nations with their own deities, yet the psalmist foresees a future where these nations recognize the LORD's supremacy.<p><b>and all the kings of the earth will fear Your glory</b><br>This phrase extends the reverence to the rulers of the world, indicating a global acknowledgment of God's majesty. In ancient times, kings were seen as the ultimate authority in their realms, often considered divine or semi-divine themselves. The psalmist's vision here is radical, suggesting that even these powerful figures will bow to God's glory. This can be connected to <a href="/philippians/2-10.htm">Philippians 2:10-11</a>, where every knee bows to Jesus Christ, acknowledging His lordship. The "glory" of God often refers to His manifest presence and power, as seen in the Shekinah glory that filled the temple (<a href="/1_kings/8-10.htm">1 Kings 8:10-11</a>). This prophecy points to a future fulfillment where God's glory is undeniable and universally recognized, aligning with eschatological visions in <a href="/revelation/21-24.htm">Revelation 21:24</a>, where the nations walk by the light of God's glory.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/nations.htm">Nations</a></b><br>Refers to the Gentile peoples of the world, indicating a universal recognition of God's sovereignty.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/k/kings_of_the_earth.htm">Kings of the Earth</a></b><br>Represents the rulers and authorities of various nations, highlighting their eventual acknowledgment of God's glory.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/g/glory_of_god.htm">Glory of God</a></b><br>The manifestation of God's presence and majesty, which is to be revered by all.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/p/psalmist.htm">Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of the psalm, traditionally attributed to David, expressing a prophetic vision of God's ultimate reign.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/universal_recognition_of_god's_sovereignty.htm">Universal Recognition of God’s Sovereignty</a></b><br>The verse anticipates a future where all nations and leaders acknowledge God's supreme authority.
