A Psalm by Christ the High Priest (Psalm #75)

Text: Psalm 75

Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. This psalm is the voice of Jesus Christ. Asaph speaks under inspiration of the Holy Ghost for Israel’s Messiah.

In the beginning was the Word. Literally, Jesus Christ was known to man in word only. In Psalm 75, one thousand years before Jesus Christ is manifest in the flesh he is the Word as far as man is concerned. Mankind doesn’t know Him yet other than in word only.
