Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. The Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. The Hebrew order is, 'Thine arrows are sharp, peoples fall under thee, in the heart of the king's enemies.' Messiah's arrows of conviction pierced the hearts of His enemies on Pentecost, when Peter preached. "They were pricked ( katenugeesan (G2660) in their heart, and said ... Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Also cf. Acts 9:5-6; Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 6:17. Again, it was so when Christianity triumphed over paganism, under Constantine, at Rome, the mistress of the world. But here it is the sword and arrows of judgment; because it is just when the marriage of the Bride and the Lamb is about to take place. Revelation 19:1-21 shows us that wrath is to be executed on the foe just before the marriage of the heavenly Bridegroom with the Church. The "terrible things" of Psalms 45:4 confirm this view. So also in Revelation 6:2. Compare Revelation 19:11. So Deuteronomy 32:23; Deuteronomy 32:41-42. The result of 'peoples falling under Him' - i:e., under His arrows-is implied in Ps. 45:43 .
