The Hope of the Old Testament

The Lord, the God of steadfast love and mercy who has promised his people that they will dwell with him forever is still on the throne. And this is clearest in verses 12 through 17. Verse 12 begins, but you, oh Lord, are enthroned forever. Anytime you see that but you in Scripture, you just know something good is going to happen. The hope of the Old Testament though is that God would save a people for himself from every tribe, tongue, and nation.
