Salmos 78:6

6 para que as soubesse a geração vindoura, os filhos que houvesse de nascer, os quais se levantassem e as contassem a seus filhos,

Salmos 78:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:6

That the generation to come might know them
Not only notionally, but spiritually and experimentally; which is the case, when human teachings are attended with the spirit of wisdom and revertion in the knowledge of divine truths; for the truths of the Gospel are unknown to men; the Gospel is hidden wisdom, the wisdom of God in a mystery; the Bible is a sealed book, the doctrines of it are riddles and dark sayings; the ministry of the word is the means of knowledge, which become effectual when attended with the Spirit and power of God:

even the children which should be born, who should arise and declare
them to their children;
and so be transmitted from age to age: it is the will of God, that, besides private instructions, there should be a standing ministry kept up in all ages, to the end of the world; and he will have some that shall receive the Gospel, and profess his name; there has been and will be a succession of regenerate persons; instead of the fathers come up the children, a seed to serve the Lord, accounted to him for a generation; the seed and the seed's seed of the church, from whose mouth the word of God shall never depart; but they shall declare it one to another, by which means it shall be continued to the latest posterity, ( Psalms 22:30 Psalms 22:31 ) ( Isaiah 59:21 ) .

Salmos 78:6 In-Context

4 Não os encobriremos aos seus filhos, cantaremos �s gerações vindouras os louvores do Senhor, assim como a sua força e as maravilhas que tem feito.

5 Porque ele estabeleceu um testemunho em Jacó, e instituiu uma lei em Israel, as quais coisas ordenou aos nossos pais que as ensinassem a seus filhos;

6 para que as soubesse a geração vindoura, os filhos que houvesse de nascer, os quais se levantassem e as contassem a seus filhos,

7 a fim de que pusessem em Deus a sua esperança, e não se esquecessem das obras de Deus, mas guardassem os seus mandamentos;

8 e que não fossem como seus pais, geração contumaz e rebelde, geração de coração instável, cujo espírito não foi fiel para com Deus.
