A Look at Psalm 119:89
His Word is Eternal
Psalm 119:89 “Your Word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.”
The Word of God is eternal! It stands firm in the heavens, yet the Word says,
“Heaven and earth will pass away” Matthew 24:35. There are three heavens mentioned in the Scriptures. The first heaven is our atmosphere; it is what we see when we look to the clouds and the stars. The second heaven is Satan’s domain.
Ephesians 2:2 says,
“And the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.” Satan is the prince of the power of the air. His realm (the second heaven) is not visible to the naked eye yet is nonetheless real.
The third heaven is God’s domain. This is what we speak of when we talk of going to heaven one day. Paul referred to this in 2 Corinthians 12:2, “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven.” The heavens that pass away are known as the first heaven, our visible world. Therefore, the eternal Word is that Word which is established in God’s heaven. This earth will pass away, but the eternal Word of God will exist forever in the presence of God.
The Word one day became flesh and dwelt among us. Now that same Word dwells in us. The same eternal Word which will never pass away is dwelling in our very being. That means those of us who have Jesus Christ, the Word, in us are eternal beings, who will live forever in the third heaven, or forever in the presence of God. Heaven and earth may pass away but we never will!
Now let me encourage you to take some time today to meditate on this verse and while you do, thank God for putting His eternal Word in you.
