Hi Pastor John,
Is “the horn of His people” in Psalms 148:14 referring to Jesus?
He also exulted the horn of His people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord.
Thank you.

Hi Billy,
No, not directly. In the Old Testament, one’s “horn” refers to one’s overall status and well-being. To have your horn exalted was to be happy and blessed. For example, when Hannah was blessed with children, she exulted, “My heart rejoices in the Lord; my horn is exalted in the Lord…” Suffering Job, on the other hand, spoke of his horn being in the dust (Job16:15).
Of course, the whole Old Testament proclaims the hidden Son of God. He is, in one way or another, in every verse. So, when I answer you “no”, that should always be kept in mind.
Thanks for the question.
Pastor John
