The
summons to Israel, the remnant, in the closing day
Psalm 95 summons Israel to
come with joyful songs and thanksgiving before Jehovah
(verses 3, 4 describing His excellency above the gods and
as Creator). But Jehovah is Israel's Maker, his God also;
and now they may look for rest even after so long time
and continued failure. Till power comes in to judgment,
while it is called to-day—for in that great
to-morrow no evil and no rebellious will be
allowed—they are called upon not to harden their
hearts as of old in the wilderness, when God sware that
they should not enter into His rest. But now, after all,
grace says To-day, and invites to come before His
presence who is the rock of their salvation.
