Verse 27
"All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah;
And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
For the kingdom is Jehovah's;
And he is the ruler over the nations.
All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship:
All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him,
Even he that cannot keep his soul alive.
A seed shall serve him;
It shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation.
They shall come and declare his righteousness
Unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done it."
In Psalms 22:27-28 are prophesies that the kingdom of God shall spread over all the world, the nations (that, is the Gentiles) shall submit to the rule of Christ who is the king in the kingdom of God.
Not only so, this proliferation of the power and glory of God's kingdom shall make steady progress throughout all generations.
"All the fat ones of earth shall eat and worship" (Psalms 22:29). "This means that those who are at present self-sufficient will put aside their arrogance and join the feast."[22]
"All they that go down to the dust" (Psalms 22:29). This points to the fact that many successive generations shall rise, serving the Lord, and shall pass away in the long continuation of the Kingdom of Jehovah.
"They shall declare his righteousness ... that he hath done it" (Psalms 22:31). Kidner pointed out, that just as the psalm began with its first verse in the mouth of Jesus on the Cross, it ends in the same manner. "`He hath done it' is an announcement not very far removed from another word of Jesus from the Cross, namely, `It is finished.' "[23]
