“And of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one were born in her: and the Most High Himself shall establish her. The Lord shall record, when He registers the peoples: that this man was born there." (vv.5-6)
This Psalm deals with Jerusalem and the coming kingdom. In it the psalmist says that everyone that is born in Jerusalem, their name is recorded by the “Highest Himself.” But what does “born in Jerusalem” mean? I believe that it means born again. And the name of every Christian is recorded in God’s book; the Lambs book of life and He will not forget any of them.
This Jerusalem is not yet on earth, but is the heavenly Jerusalem where God lives. Our names then are written into His book of life, where we will one day be admitted into the kingdom of heaven. And once our names are there, scripture tells us that, "no one can remove them"; Satan can never pull our names out of God's Book of Life.

Therefore, let us join with the people in the 87th Psalm and praise God for the glorious city of Zion where our names are recorded for entry into His heavenly kingdom.
The Truth: "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of My Father's hand.” (John 10:29)
