S4.E4. Come Let Us Go (39:07)

Ps. 122.1-2  “1I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go into the house of the Lord.2Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!’”Just who is the “I” in this verse; and why is he “glad” to hear the beckoning call from the passerby?  Firstly, many, including myself, can identify as the “I” in this verse, perhaps you may also.  The reason being is that I too was once the one standing within your gates of Jerusalem.  No, I was not in the city Jerusalem, Israel; there is a physical Jerusalem and a heavenly spiritual Jerusalem. (See Heb. !2.22, Gal.4.26)  The first is the abiding place for the natural man, the man of flesh; the latter city is the abiding place for the spiritual man, as it is written,  Heb. 12.22  “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,…”   It was within this latter case I found my feet were “standing” within the gates of religion, just as the hearer in this verse.For other episodes, find us at https://ufsministries.com/podcast
