0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:13.0 | We opened today with Psalm 89, which was written by a guy named Ethan. This is possibly the only |
0:18.7 | psalm he wrote, but some people think he also went by the name |
0:21.5 | Juduthan, who wrote two other Psalms. There are a few really confusing things in this chapter, |
0:26.7 | so let's walk through them. First, verse 10 tells us that God destroyed Rehab. Crushed Rehab like |
0:32.5 | a carcass is actually what the ESV says. If you don't have a study Bible and you didn't Google this, you might be like, |
0:38.7 | I thought they saved Rehab. |
0:40.2 | I don't recall any carcass crushing. |

1:07.3 | David is called the firstborn here, and that may be confusing, because as we've talked about |
1:11.4 | previously, Jesus is the firstborn. Yes, and yes, two firstborns. Actually three, because Israel is called |
1:19.3 | the firstborn of a people group, and David is the firstborn of the kingly line God has established, |
1:25.2 | and Jesus is the firstborn, the exalted David, the fulfillment of |
1:29.5 | prophecies. There are lots of prophetic elements to this Psalm, so while it can refer to something |
1:35.0 | at the present time of David, it can also simultaneously refer to something else and something |
1:39.9 | greater. Near the end, in verses 38 to 45, Ethan accuses God of forsaking Israel. And yes, |
