Appendixes To The Companion Bible
Appendix 70
The place of Ps.15 is seen in the Structure of the first book of
the Psalms (p.721), in which the perfect man of Ps.15 is set in contrast
with "the man of the earth" and other men in Ps. 9-14.
It sets forth the character and conditions of a true citizen of
Zion.
Hence, the Lord Jesus, in proclaiming the kingdom, Matt. 4.17 -
7.29 (see the Structure of the whole Gospel), lays down the characters
of the true subjects of the kingdom.
The kingdom has nothing to do with the present Dispensation,
which is one of Grace. The
kingdom proclaimed by the King was rejected, and the King was crucified.
Hence, "now we see NOT YET all things put under Him"
(Heb 2.8). The kingdom is
therefore now abeyance. But
when it shall be set up, then Ps.15 and "The Sermon on the
Mount" will find and received their full and proper interpretation.
See Ap. 63. ix;
71; and 72.
We note below the correspondence of the subjects treated, in the
same order as they are set forth in the Psalm, which is so complete that
it evidently formed the text on which the Sermon on the Mount was based.
