Consummation of Sonship - The New Song of God's Judgment

Israel's psalms celebrated the nation's sonship, and also addressed the challenges and failures associated with faithfully living it out. And because Israel's sonship served a crucial purpose in God's intent for His creation - a purpose that He was determined to see fulfilled, the psalms also speak to the consummation of Israel's sonship. The day was coming when Israel would fulfill its election and vocation as son of God on behalf of the world, but only as the world experienced a great and decisive act of divine judgment.
