[[Ps-113]] Prev: [[Prophecies in Ps-112]] | Next: [[Prophecies in Ps-114]] --- ### From the rising of the sun to its going down, Yahweh's name is to be praised. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: This verse predicts a future of universal worship where God is praised globally and continuously, transcending ethnic and geographical boundaries. *Historical context*: Theologians and historians identify the fulfillment of this prophecy in the global expansion of monotheism, specifically through the spread of the Christian Gospel to all nations (Great Commission, [[Matt-28#v18|Matthew 28:18]]-20) and the diverse, international gathering described in [[Rev-07#v9|Revelation 7:9]]. It is also linked to the prophetic parallel in [[Mal-01#v11|Malachi 1:11]]. *Related to*: ### He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap, that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A prediction of divine reversal where the socially and spiritually lowly are elevated to positions of highest honor and authority. *Historical context*: This 'Gospel pattern' is seen as fulfilled in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, who elevated the 'poor in spirit' ([[Matt-05#v3|Matthew 5:3]]). Mary explicitly cites this as a fulfillment of God's redemptive plan in the Magnificat ([[Luke-01#v52|Luke 1:52]]-53), and it is realized historically in the adoption of believers into 'royal priesthood' ([[1 Pet-02#v9|1 Peter 2:9]]). *Related to*: ### He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: This text describes the realization of God's recurring promise to intervene in the plight of the childless, transforming barrenness into maternal joy. *Historical context*: This refers back to the specific miraculous births in redemptive history, such as Sarah ([[Gen-21#v1|Genesis 21:1]]-7), Rebekah ([[Gen-25#v21|Genesis 25:21]]), Rachel ([[Gen-30#v22|Genesis 30:22]]), and Hannah ([[1 Sam-01#v19|1 Samuel 1:19]]-20). It also finds a later New Testament fulfillment in the birth of John the Baptist to Elizabeth ([[Luke-01#v24|Luke 1:24]]-25, 57-58). *Related to*: [[Gen-17#v16|Genesis 17:16]]-19 and [[Gen-18#v10|Genesis 18:10]]-14 (The promise of a son to the barren Sarah) --- #ai_prophecy
