[[Ps-86]] Prev: [[Prophecies in Ps-85]] | Next: [[Prophecies in Ps-87]] --- ### All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A prediction that all ethnic groups and nations created by God will eventually acknowledge His sovereignty and worship Him universally. *Historical context*: Theologians and historians of religion identify this as being fulfilled through the global spread of monotheistic worship, particularly the 'Great Commission' in Christianity which reached every continent. It is also specifically cited in the New Testament ([[Rev-15#v4|Revelation 15:4]]) as a future eschatological certainty where all nations come and worship before the Lamb. *Related to*: ### You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Though written in the prophetic perfect (past tense to denote certainty), this is interpreted as a Messianic prediction of the Resurrection. *Historical context*: In Christian theology, this is seen as a prophecy of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Early church fathers and the book of Acts (e.g., [[Acts-02#v27|Acts 2:27]]-31) argue that the Davidic 'Holy One' would not be abandoned to Sheol (Hades), a promise fulfilled when Jesus rose from the dead. *Related to*: ### Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your servant. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A Messianic plea for the preservation and salvation of the 'son of the servant' (or 'son of your handmaid' in other translations). *Historical context*: Scholars like Augustine of Hippo and Matthew Henry interpret 'the son of your servant' as a specific reference to the Messiah. The fulfillment is identified in Jesus Christ, the son of the handmaid Mary (who called herself the 'servant of the Lord' in [[Luke-01#v38|Luke 1:38]]), whom God saved from death and exalted. *Related to*: --- #ai_prophecy
