Psalm, Chapter 90
God’s Eternity and Man’s Transitoriness.
A Prayer of [a]Moses, the man of God.
90 Lord, You have been our [b]dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were born
[c]Or You gave birth to the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
- The title of this message is God's eternity and man's Transitoriness
- we see the timeline of the eternal God vs. man who is transitory (very short lived)
- This is a prayer of Moses, the man of God
o Moses means “drawn out”, “hidden”, “covered” or “extracted”
o Moses was a man of God because
§ He was chosen by God
§ He chose God when he defended God’s people from the Egyptians
§ He chose a Godly life in the desert vs. a the riches of the palace
§ He chose to follow God back to Egypt and risk his life
- Lord You have been our dwelling place in all generations
o The Lord have been (past tense from eternity past; present; eternity forward
o Always was, Always is, Always will be
- Before the mountains were born or You gave birth to the earth and the world
o We consider mountains thousands of years old (but not before God)
o We consider the Earth old and the people which have been; but not before God)
o To give birth means He was there and responsible for it
- Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God
o This is WHO HE IS
o From eternity past to eternity forward
o HE ALWAYS WILL BE
3 You turn man back into dust
And say, “Return, O children of men.”
- You turn man back into dust
o In other words, you see him born and die and turn to dust
o The lifespan of a man is nothing to a eternal God
- And say “Return, O children of men”
o He makes them die and makes them born
o He sees all the beginnings and ends before they ever happen
4 For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it passes by,
[d]Or as a watch in the night.
- A thousand years in You sight
o This is how God sees it
- Are like yesterday when it passes by
o Like one short day for us
o God sees 1,000 years like one day to us
- Or as a watch in the night
o This means a single night
1,000 years is like one single night to God
