Psalm 97:1-6
The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad! (2) Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. (3) Fire goes before him and burns up his adversaries all around. (4) His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles. (5) The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth. (6) The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all the peoples see his glory.
Lord, the picture of process of the revelation of Your righteousness is graphic and compelling. The shaking of the very foundations of the earth as Your righteousness and justice sweep all evil and decay before it. Mountains melting like wax; lightning flashing and threshing; the earth shaking and trembling. It will not be a time of terror but of rejoicing by Your creation. Beautiful!
