The summons to Israel, the remnant, in the closing day
Psalm 95 summons Israel to come with joyful songs and
thanksgiving before Jehovah (verses 3, 4 describing His excellency
above the gods and as Creator). But Jehovah is Israel's Maker, his
God also; and now they may look for rest even after so long time and
continued failure. Till power comes in to judgment, while it is
called to-day — for in that great to-morrow no evil and no rebellious
will be allowed — they are called upon not to harden their hearts as
of old in the wilderness, when God sware that they should not enter
into His rest. But now, after all, grace says To-day, and invites to
come before His presence who is the rock of their salvation. 158
