[[Ps-75]] Prev: [[Prophecies in Ps-74]] | Next: [[Prophecies in Ps-76]] --- ### When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A divine declaration that there is a specific, pre-determined future moment set for universal and impartial judgment. *Historical context*: Theologians and scholars link this 'appointed time' to the New Testament concept of the 'Day of the Lord.' Specific fulfillments are identified in [[Acts-17#v31|Acts 17:31]], where Paul asserts God has 'fixed a day' for judgment, and [[Rev-20#v11|Revelation 20:11]]-15, which describes the Great White Throne Judgment. This prophecy establishes that divine justice is not immediate but is certain and scheduled by God. *Related to*: ### For in Yahweh's hand there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: The certain and complete administration of divine wrath upon the wicked, represented by the imagery of a cup that must be drained. *Historical context*: The 'cup of wrath' imagery finds its ultimate fulfillment in the Book of Revelation, particularly [[Rev-14#v10|Revelation 14:10]] and 16:19, where the enemies of God are made to drink the 'wine of God's fury.' Christian theology also identifies a substitutionary fulfillment in the Gospels ([[Matt-26#v39|Matthew 26:39]], [[Luke-22#v42|Luke 22:42]]), where Jesus Christ drinks the 'cup' of divine judgment in Gethsemane and on the cross on behalf of believers, sparing them from the 'dregs' described in the Psalm. *Related to*: ### I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A prediction of a total reversal of status where the power (horns) of the arrogant is destroyed and the righteous are exalted. *Historical context*: The 'lifting up' of the righteous and 'bringing down' of the wicked is cited by literary analysts as the prophetic foundation for the Magnificat in [[Luke-01#v51|Luke 1:51]]-53, where Mary declares that God has 'brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble.' In a final eschatological context, this is fulfilled in [[Rev|Revelation 17]]-19, where the 'horns' or kings of the earth who oppose God are defeated, and the saints are exalted to reign with Christ. *Related to*: --- #ai_prophecy
