When will all people — kings, princes, judges, young and old — finally praise the name of the LORD?
All people—kings, princes, judges, young and old—will finally praise the name of the LORD when the curse is lifted and Christ returns. That future restoration removes the fear and corruption of the cursed creation, gathering every rank and age to exalt His excellent name above earth and heaven.
Les teaches that Psalm 148 summons the kings of the earth, all people, princes, all judges, young men and maidens, old men and children to praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is excellent and His glory is above the earth and heaven. It is going to happen when the curse is lifted and Christ returns. Les illustrates this with the animal and bird kingdoms under the curse, which live in constant fear of being somebody else’s lunch, and especially the cottontail rabbit that never relaxes because dogs, owls, hawks, foxes, and coyotes would gladly grab him. Someday that rabbit will not have to worry about that, pointing to the coming restoration when the curse is lifted.
