"Psalm 115 was likely written during or after the Babylonian exile, when Israel faced "

"mockery from surrounding nations who questioned the power of their invisible God compared "

"The phrase \"both small and great\" reflects ancient Near Eastern social stratification. "
|
|
"Israel was a highly stratified society: kings, priests, nobles, landowners, farmers, servants, "
|
|
"and slaves occupied distinct social tiers. Yet God's blessing transcends these human distinctions. "
|
|
"This radical equality before God challenged prevailing social norms where blessings and favor "
|
|
"typically correlated with status and power.<br><br>"
|
|
"The \"fear of the LORD\" was central to Old Testament piety. It appears over 300 times in Scripture. "
|
|
"For ancient Israelites, this fear shaped ethical behavior, worship practices, and daily decisions. "
|
|
"The book of Deuteronomy repeatedly commands Israel to fear God (Deuteronomy 6:13, 10:12), connecting "
|
|
"this fear with covenant obedience. Job is described as one who \"feared God and eschewed evil\" (Job 1:1). "
|

"The wisdom tradition declares: \"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge\" (Proverbs 1:7)."
