A Psalm for Today: Psalms 76:4
You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
In the old testament typology, mountains represent governments. Throughout history there have been nations, empires, and ideaologies that want to rule the world. In the book of Daniel there was a stone cut out without hands that crushed the great statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream. The parts of the statue represented different kingdoms, some very powerful and successful, but they were crushed by this stone which became a mountain which filled the whole earth. That mountain is the kingdom of God. Isaiah said that of the increase of His government and peace there would be no end. Of all those kingdoms, the mountains of prey, that would attempt to rule the earth, the kingdom of God is far more glorious and excellent. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
