Background
Psalm 82 is in the Leviticus book of the Psalms (73—89). The Old Testament book of Leviticus focuses on matters in the sanctuary: the priesthood, ceremonial laws, and feasts. Almost all of these 17 Psalms mention the sanctuary and God’s relation to it. Psalms 80, 81, and 82 show God in the sanctuary.
Background
Psalms 61-72 complete the Exodus book in Psalms and show the Messiah’s great atoning work. Psalm 67 gives praise to God among all nations for His deliverance in troublous times.
In Branded by God, Part 1, we established that keeping the unity of the spirit, “…starts with recognizing that each and every born again believer is a member of the body of Christ,” and “no individual believer is any ‘better’ than another, and none is of less value.” That is the essence of the lowliness and meekness toward God and one another that we need to keep the unity of the spirit.
