Psalm 134 is the conclusion of Psalm 133, and Psalm 133 is the continuation of Psalm 132. At the end of Psalm 132 we see that God enters into His rest and we are satisfied in the habitation of God. As a continuation, Psalm 133 describes the sweet and wonderful church life in oneness under […]

Psalm 133 is a very good picture of the church life today, and a picture is more than 1000 words. Here we see “how good” and “how pleasant” for brothers to dwell in oneness, and this oneness is “like the oil” and “like the dew”. The compound ointment with which the priest was anointed typifies […]
