Days of affliction repaid in Messianic days — Midrash on Ps 90
This lesson explores how Psalm 90:15 connects to Jesus.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

Days of affliction repaid in Messianic days — Midrash on Ps 90
Moses prayed that God would repay suffering with equal joy. Revelation promises the total elimination of sorrow. In Christ, every affliction is answered with eternal gladness.
King eternal, let the promise in Psalm 90:15 fulfilled in Revelation 21:4 stir in me longing for Your return and the restoration of all things.
