Psalm 83: Do Not Keep Silent, O God!

Ancient Book of Psalms 83

The Fadden More Psalters an ancient tattered manuscript, was discovered after being buried for hundreds of years by a turf digger in County Tipperary bog in 2006 in Ireland making it their “dead sea scroll” antiquity.

This is the makings of a mystery steeped in biblical history.  The Fadden More Psalter is a book of psalms.

It is said to be one of the most significant discoveries in archaeology for decades.

But what’s really eerie, is that the book, muddied when found, was opened to Psalms 83:

Psalm 83

Do not keep silent, O God!
Do not hold Your peace,
And do not be still, O God!
² For behold, Your enemies make a tumult;
And those who hate You have lifted up their head.
³ They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
⁴ They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

⁵ For they have consulted together with one consent;
They form a confederacy against You:
⁶ The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;
⁷ Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
⁸ Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

⁹ Deal with them as with Midian,
As with Sisera,
As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,
¹⁰ Who perished at En Dor,
Who became as refuse on the earth.
¹¹ Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb,
Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
¹² Who said, “Let us take for ourselves
The pastures of God for a possession.”

¹³ O my God, make them like the whirling dust,
Like the chaff before the wind!
¹⁴ As the fire burns the woods,
And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
¹⁵ So pursue them with Your tempest,
And frighten them with Your storm.
¹⁶ Fill their faces with shame,
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.
¹⁷ Let them be confounded and dismayed forever;
Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,
¹⁸ That they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord,
Are the Most High over all the earth.

• “Conservationists have spent the past five years painstakingly preserving the vellum pages and leather cover and the psalter, which dates from 800 AD, now sits centre stage at a new exhibition in the National Museum in Dublin. (Source: Independent.ie)”

• “The manuscript was probably written in about 800 in one of a number of monasteries in the area. A unique feature is that the inside of the leather cover is lined with papyrus, probably as a stiffening, an indication of the links between the Irish and Coptic churches at the time. After several years of conservation work, the psalter went on display at the National Museum of Ireland in Kildare St, Dublin in June 2011.”
• “When found, the book was opened to a page displaying Psalm 83 (in the Septuagint numbering), which corresponds with Psalm 84 in the Masoretic numbering used in most English-language translations.  Due to confusion regarding differences in numbering the Psalms, some news sites implied that the Psalter was open at the Masoretic Psalm 83. That psalm contains such lines as “They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance”; this reference to the attempted destruction of Israel connected the find in some people’s minds with the contemporaneous 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict. The matter was clarified by the director of the National Museum of Ireland, who pointed out the difference in Septuagint vs. Masoretic numbering and that the displayed psalm contains no reference to the destruction of Israel.” (source: Wikipedia)

Can God’s long arm reach out of ancient history and speak to us today?  Sure!

Although Psalm 83 is in the Septuagint numbering vs Masoretic numbering a praise and worship Psalm 84, I wonder…?

Psalms 83 is searching for God’s protection.  Anyone who has a need could use it to seek God in times of trouble.

The Torah Bible Codes

A Sefer Torah, the traditional form of the Hebrew Bible, is a scroll of parchment. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

“The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.  (Deuteronomy 29:29)

As a newbie in Christ about 18 yrs ago, I was massively curious and thirsty for the word, for what Christ was doing in using the common man to show His will, what He was doing to effect our day.

I came across a  tv program about Bible Codes and a book published in 1997 by Michael Drosnin  explaining the theory of ELS (Equidistant Letter Sequence) hidden messages found in the Torah (the first five books of the Bible).

I wondered if it was at all possible that God really did embed secret messages inside the bible but would have to wait until man could understand how to unravel its principles or even reveal warnings of events to happen including the assassinations of  US President John F. Kennedy in November 22, 1963, and Israeli Prime Minister  Yitzhak Rabin in November 4, 1995

It’s well worth your effort to buy it and learn from his understanding and applying the principle of using ELS to unlock the secrets hidden in the Torah.

“The Bible code (Hebrew: צפנים בתנ”ך‎), also known as the Torah code, is a purported set of secret messages encoded within the text Hebrew Bible and describing prophesies and other guidance regarding the future. This hidden code has been described as a method by which specific letters from the text can be selected to reveal an otherwise obscured message. Though Bible codes have been postulated and studied for centuries, the subject has been popularized in modern times by Michael Drosnin’s book The Bible Code. ”   (source:  Bible Code – Wikipedia.org)

  Encounters with the Unexplained – Secrets of the Bible Code Ep 2

The Torah ( “Instruction”, “Teaching”) is the Jewish name for the first five books of the Jewish Bible.  In Hebrew the five books are named by the first phrase in the text:

• Bereshit (“In the beginning,” Book of Genesis),
• Shemot (“Names,” Exodus),
• Vayikra (“He called”, Leviticus),
• Bamidbar (“In the desert,” Numbers) and
• Devarim (“Words,” Deuteronomy).

In rabbinic literature the word Torah denotes both these five books, Torah Shebichtav (תורה שבכתב, “Torah that is written”), and an Oral Torah, Torah Shebe’al Peh (תורה שבעל פה, “Torah that is spoken”).

The Oral Torah consists of the traditional interpretations and amplifications handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation and now embodied in the Talmud (תַּלְמוּד) and Midrash (מדרש‎) . (source:  Wikipedia)

Sefer Torah with decorative Scroll-handles (‘eẓ ḥayyim), pointer (yad) and breastplate. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The Torah is so precise and specific, that everyone is to own a Sefer Torah,  with its method of preparation, the size of the scroll and margin, its verses, including the name of God.  From sewing the sheets together, including  its appurtenances (attachments), the Breastplate   (suspended by a chain from the top of the rollers is the breastplate, to which,  in the case of the crowns, little bells are attached. Lions, eagles, flags, and the Magen Dawid either chased or embossed, or painted, are the principal decorations), its  history and  personal copies of the Torah can be reviewed and studied further in detail in the Jewish Encyclopedia.

God didn’t limit revealing Himself, His Word, or His will by only reading the bible.  He reveals Himself through dreams and visions by and through the Holy Spirit:

• Then You scare me with dreams And terrify me with visions (Job 7:14)
• As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. (Daniel 1:17)
• “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17)

God will also use His angels to deliver messages:

• Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. (Luke 1:30)
• When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, “Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city.” (Genesis 19:15)
• And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!” (Judges 6:12)

God doesn’t spare anyone from being His “voice” known as His prophets:

• So the LORD said to Moses: “See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet. (Exodus 7:1)
• Now therefore, restore the man’s wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours.” (Genesis 20:7)
• When they came there to the hill, there was a group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them. (1 Samuel 10:10)

Prophets of old are used as examples; however, we do have modern day prophets.  Below is an audio link of a discussion by a Pastor from Gallipolis, Ohio who received a dream December 28, 2011, involving America:

• Important Prophecy for America

Here is a link to the written post “Important Prophecy for America“.

I, personally, do not own the computer software that is used for exploring codes in the Torah.  I did take an interest in the process and I don’t discourage anyone else from trying it, I just discovered that if I ask the God of all wisdom directly in prayer the “What is?” He will answer me.  This establishes a deeper relationship in Him and an even deeper trust in Him.

Fascinating doesn’t even begin to describe the mysteries and their revelations by God Almighty.

New World Order: Secret Societies and Biblical Prophecy

³ “You shall have no other gods before Me.” (Exodus 20:3)

• Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the LORD your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.  (Deuteronomy 8:19)

There are so many reports, videos, news articles, on the collapse of the financial economy not only in America but across the world, with Greece, Spain, and Italy being the most current who have extended their financial downfall by “borrowing” to stay afloat from a total global economic collapse.

Common language refers to the One World Order already in effect and not merely a conspiracy theory.

Forming a One World Order is contrary to God’s instructions to “you shall have no other gods before me.”

A One World Order is any new or alternative global social or political organization or system, esp. referring to that after the Cold War with one ruler:

• one government
• one economy
• one military
• one society
• one religion

As Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900), German philosopher, stated:

“We, however, want to become those we are—human beings who are new, unique, incomparable, who give themselves laws, who create themselves. To that end we must become the best learners and discoverers of everything that is lawful and necessary in the world: we must become physicists in order to be able to be creators in this sense—while hitherto all valuations and ideals have been based on ignorance of physics or were constructed so as to contradict it. Therefore: long live physics! And even more so that which compels us to turn to physics—our honesty! by Friedrich Nietzsche” (source: dictionary.com)

“His key ideas include the death of God, perspectivism, the Übermensch, amor fati, the eternal recurrence, and the will to power. ” (source: Wikipedia)

“The common theme in conspiracy theories about a New World Order is that a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian world government—which replaces sovereign nation-states—and an all-encompassing propaganda that ideologizes its establishment as the culmination of history’s progress.” (source: Wikipedia)

To understand the future, we must understand where we have been that leads us to forming the New World Order.

The following view: debt (effectively destroys economic freedom) involving the Federal Reserve System.

YouTube video about the financial banking system and it’s historical 1929 collapse.  So sit back, relax with a cup of tea, and listen to events triggering the New World Order with its secret societies.

Wake Up Call – New World Order

(2 of 16)

Wake Up Call - Remastered Edition - Full Movie

God set up a full proof economic system: tithing, offerings, sacrifices.  Follow His commands, honor His economic system, include His principles into your life, for it is He who will provide for you effectively, not the government with it’s baseless values and hidden agendas to promote themselves.

• There you shall take your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, your tithes, the heave offerings of your hand, your vowed offerings, your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks. (Deuteronomy 12:6)
• And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’s. It is holy to the LORD. (Leviticus 27:30)

• As for me, I will praise and worship the Lord, creator of Heaven and Earth:

• In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)

Blessings,

Bible Prophecy: Why Should We Care?

• ² And Balaam raised his eyes, and saw Israel encamped according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.

• ³ Then he took up his oracle and said:

“The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor,
The utterance of the man whose eyes are opened,

• ⁴ The utterance of him who hears the words of God, Who sees the vision of the Almighty, Who falls down, with eyes wide open:  (Numbers 24:2-5)
• “Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy. (Daniel 9:24)

Prophecy is God’s mouthpiece,  the foretelling of future events, using man by initiating and revealing visions, speaking in tongues and interpreting tongues.

Some believe in it and some people just smile and laugh it off as another way to scam innocent people.

However, below is an article that clarifies it’s importance for understanding it, hope in it’s promised destiny in eternity, highlighting comfort and encouragement and faith in God’s Word.

It dictates God’s sovereignty, His mercy, His compassion, rewarding His elected faithful, and providing for His people, as a  Just and Righteous God.

It states why prophecy, it’s accuracy, and reasons to believe:

*********************************************

Bible Prophecy: Why Should We Care?

In a Peanuts cartoon, Peppermint Patty reminds Charlie Brown, “You heard what that speaker said, Chuck. He said we’re in the last days!” Charlie Brown responds with: “I know. I heard him say the world is coming to an end.” In the third frame, Peppermint Patty continues with: “Marcie said the world can’t end today because it’s already tomorrow in Australia.” In the final frame, we see this final interaction, as Charlie Brown begins with: “Maybe we should go to Australia.” Finally, Peppermint Patty retorts: “Don’t make jokes, Chuck.”

For many, Bible prophecy is understood no better than it seems to be by Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty. It is like the definition of eschatology (the study of future things) given by a confused student who wrote: “It is the study of eschats.”

Bible prophecy buffs do not seem to help the clarity of this study when they are all over the map with their “understandings” of the issue. Neither do they help people take Bible prophecy seriously due to some of the embarrassing predictions that have been proclaimed in recent years.

As a result, most do not see the importance of understanding Bible prophecy. This is a tragedy, because God assigns it much importance for us. How do we know that? One-fourth of God’s written communication to us-the Bible-deals with the future. Clearly, the massive amount of material God has given to us about the future broadcasts importance.

But there are also other important reasons why Christians should seek to understand Bible prophecy. For example, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2 indicates that understanding prophecy produces strength and stability in a Christian’s life. An uncertain future will produce uncertainty and instability in our lives now; however, a certain future, which an understanding of Bible prophecy can produce, will grant the Christian confidence and strength in facing the future.

Of course, certainty and stability in our lives begin with knowing where we will spend eternity. Fortunately, Jesus clearly presents how to know for sure you will be with God forever. In the Gospel of John (which was written to show readers how to receive eternal life, life with God forever-see John 20:31 for the purpose statement), Jesus proclaims that anyone who simply believes Him for His offer of eternal life has it, from the moment the person believes Him for it (e.g., John 3:16-18; 5:24; 6:47; 11:25-26, etc.).

Based on 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (especially verse 18), we learn that a proper understanding of Bible prophecy brings encouragement and comfort to the Christian. For example, understanding that deceased Christians are not only very much alive in heaven right now, but will have an awesome future can provide us with much comfort concerning our loved ones who have passed on.

In addition, Bible prophecy can be a great tool for evangelism, as indicated by its usage by the apostles Peter and Paul (see Acts 3:16-26 and 17:2, 31-34). That is, it can be used to show people the importance of believing in Jesus for their eternal destiny.

Bible prophecy can also be a great encouragement for the Christian to remain faithful to Christ (see 1 Corinthians 15:51-58, especially verse 58). In fact, properly perceived, Bible prophecy is one of the greatest motivations there is for Christian living. For example, via eschatology, we see that it will be well worth remaining faithful to Christ through difficult times, as He will eternally reward our faithfulness.

Furthermore, prophecy can confirm our faith in God’s word (cf. Deuteronomy 18:21-22).

Based on the thousands of predictions in the Bible that have already been fulfilled-perfectly, to the very letter of each detail-prophecy provides us with great confidence in God’s word; it strengthens our faith in it and in Him.

Bible prophecy also teaches us much about God; and the more we understand about God and how He works, the greater will be our encouragement, comfort, and confidence in facing life. Understanding Bible prophecy can enable us to learn about God’s immeasurable love for people. For example, the Bible shows us that God will continue to reach out to an unbelieving world in the future, seven-year tribulation period (the final seven years before the return of Christ to the earth).

In addition, information about the future informs us of God’s magnificent mercy. We see that at the Judgment Seat of Christ (the future assessment of believers in Christ to determine kingdom reward) God will extend great mercy toward those who showed mercy toward others (see James 2:12-13). Those who did will receive a very merciful assessment (cf. Matthew 5:7) and far greater eternal reward.

Of course, the future also teaches us about God’s justice. For example, the Bible presents three future judgments that will take place. One will assess Christians (cf. 2 Corinthians 5:10), one will assess unbelievers (Revelation 20:11-15), and one will judge survivors of the future tribulation period.

No doubt, Bible prophecy informs us of God’s sovereignty. In fact, that prophecy is fulfilled (100% of the time) demonstrates that God is in control. He is the God of the future, as well as the God of the present. That should bring us great comfort, especially when life seems out of control. It can quiet our hearts and strengthen our faith knowing God has it all in control.

We also learn from Bible prophecy that God is a rewarder of the faithful (see Hebrews 11:6). This shows us that living in obedience to Christ will be well worth it. It gives us hope and purpose for life now.

Understanding the future gives us great confidence of God’s faithfulness to provide for our every need. For example, we see that while Jewish followers of Jesus will be on the run, with no possessions other than the clothes on their backs for the last three and a half years before the return of Christ, God will provide for their every need each and every day! Realizing that strengthens our faith to trust God with our situations. As a result, we have greater confidence to face the future, no matter how bleak it may look, because we know God will faithfully provide for our needs as we trust Him for them.

Bible prophecy also shows us that this is not all there is. God has an immensely better future in store for those who have believed in Jesus Christ for their eternal destiny. We will one day soon be rid of the pain and suffering, the heartache, and all of the other problems, including death, that sin causes. That fact alone can help us to face another day, realizing that as we do, we are one day closer to a much better future.

There are many other benefits for studying Bible prophecy, but, hopefully, these will stir you to take eschatology seriously and allow it to bring benefits into your own life.
