Psalms are very war-like to me but as far as I can understand the war-like aspect is a picture of fallen man's flesh always at war against God's purpose with our spirit. Galatians 5:17 says the two are contrary to each other and fight against each other. Psalms is a picture of man transitioning out from the law to living by Christ in our spirit. The central thought of the whole Bible and God's Eternal purpose is Christ not the law. The Psalms speak of Christ as the Lord himself said to the two on the road to Emmaus Luke 24:44 "And he said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you while I was with you, that all the things written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and Psalms concerning me must be fulfilled." Psalms shows a contrast between the law and Christ. Only Christ Himself, not the law, can make us members of Christ and conform us to Christ that we may be his Complement his body, Bride and Kingdom on the earth for eternity.
Any thoughts on psalms and their purpose?
