Scofield Reference Notes (1917 edition) (1917)

The notes that made the Scofield Bible famous. They read Scripture through dispensationalism, a framework many Christians do not share: read with discernment.

Verses 1–16

Let God arise

The entire Psalm is pervaded by the joy of Israel in the kingdom, but a stricter order of events begins with verse 18. This is quoted Ephesians 4:7-16 of Christ's ascension ministry. Verses 21-23 refer to the regathering of Israel, and the destruction of the Beast and his armies.

(See "Beast," (See Scofield "Daniel 7:8")) (See "Beast," (See Scofield "Revelation 19:20")). (See "Armageddon" (See Scofield "Revelation 16:16") , Revelation 19:17-19.

Verses 24-35 are descriptive of full and universal kingdom blessing.

(See "Kingdom" (O.T.), (See Scofield "Genesis 1:26")

(See Scofield "Zechariah 12:8").

See Psalm 69., next in order of the Messianic Psalms.
