Psalms
(The Bible)
The inspired writer, in Psalm 24, submits emphatically that the earth as we it and all things thereon actually belong to God. He even goes on to dwell on the earth's design and construction, how, for instance, it perches delicately on water. He does this perhaps to lift godly men and women and to make them realise that they need not conduct themselves like second class citizens in a world that by right belongs to their God. It means that the physical realm is owned and ultimately controlled by God, and that invariably, all that the eye can see are answerable to the Almighty.
Also, he writes about another place where only those who seek God can reach. Although, as this writer states in the Psalm, all who dwell on earth belong to God, not all those who dwell on earth qualify to stand in God's holy place. This privilege belongs to those who actively seek God. They are the ones who seek His will for their lives, they seek to please Him, they seek to love what He loves and they seek to hate what He hates. Due to the fact that they seek God's face, His picture satisfies them in the morning.
These people, in the process of seeking God, are simultaneously undergoing a certain character transformation as they are not lifting their souls unto vain things but unto the only true God. As their main goals are God and His righteousness, their lives are being cleansed making them candidates for God's blessings.
What follows is a prophetic command to rip open all the places the enemies of God had declared as no-go areas and the spiritual prison houses of old. There will be stiff resistance but because the Lord is mighty in battle, He will triumph and gain entrance in order to set the captives free.
