Paul told us that Jesus would judge the world in righteousness. By faith we are righteous. We are growing in faith, which reveals our righteousness, from out of credence into fidelity. When Jesus separates the righteous from the unrighteous, the unrighteous are left behind. It is interesting that Jesus judges the world in righteousness, but the saints who come back with Jesus will judge the world and the angels. There are always people inspiring fear into others by declaring that Jesus is going to punish everyone. However the righteous are not punished. The righteous are separated from the unrighteous, and the unrighteous destroy themselves. If someone announces that they are going to go through the tribulation that one does not have faith and is not righteous, they are unrighteous. We need to clean up the nonsense within the Church and stop listening to the unrighteous. All they are doing is inspiring fear and fear has torment. We have some valuable insight from David regarding the hidden son that is relevant for the end times. Also, we all feel the crush of evil and hatred coming from all sides. The sons of Korah gave us a remedy. “Why so downcast oh my soul?” Let’s explore.
We should remind ourselves of what Paul taught on Mars Hill.
Acts 17:31 G1360 because G2476 he set G2250 a day G1722 in G3739 which G3195 he is about G2919 to judge G3588 the G3611 world G1722 in G1343 righteousness, G1722 by G435 a man G3739 in whom G3724 he confirmed, G4102 [2belief G3930 1having furnished] G3956 to all, G450 having raised G1473 him G1537 from G3498 the dead.
How did Paul know that Jesus would judge the world in righteousness? David told us several times. Paul was quoting David to the Athenians, which they may or may not have read. The Athenians were well educated as Greek culture established many libraries including the library of Alexandria. There is a great possibility that they had read David’s Psalms. This then would have been a reminder for them.
If we look at Psalms 9 it is written by David. There are some clues from David that we tend to mistranslate and/or erase. We need to keep these in mind when we read what David wrote because they are for a specific time and a specific individual.
Psalm 9:0 G1519 To G3588 the G5056 director; G5228 for G3588 the G2931.1 private things G3588 of the G5207 son; G5568 a psalm G3588 to G* David.
“Into the fulfillment (or into the end, or the conclusion) over the hidden son, psalm the David.”
This psalm was written for the fulfillment or the telos, “the end, or the conclusion”, meaning the conclusion of our age. It is written about the hidden son. Who is the hidden son? Who is the son that has been kept a secret? David knew. The hidden son will judge in righteousness at the end of the age.
Psalms 9:7 G2532 And G3588 the G2962 lord G1519 [2into G3588 3the G165 4eon G3306 1abides]. G2090 He prepared G1722 [2for G2920 3judgment G3588 G2362 1his throne]. G1473
8 G2532 And G1473 he G2919 will judge G3588 the G3611 inhabitable world G1722 in G1343 righteousness. G2919 He shall judge G2992 peoples G1722 with G2118 uprightness.
Yahweh’s throne is prepared for judgment. He will judge the dwelling or habitation in righteousness. What day does Yahweh judge the inhabitable world? The day when Yahweh calls from the clouds. The judgment for the righteous, those made righteous because of their faith, is that they are chosen or separated from the unrighteous. What happens during the tribulation? The unrighteous are left on the earth. The unrighteous will be ruled by their unrighteous unholy trinity; the beast, the false prophet, and the dragon. The separation of the righteous from out of the unrighteous occurs because the Holy Spirit (who resides in the righteous) is taken out of the way. The righteous dead rise first and the living righteous join them in the air. The judgment of the world in righteousness was an understood event for the end of the age or the conclusion of the age. The age of the Holy Spirit indwelling man is concluded when Jesus calls from the clouds. Those left on the earth do not have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them. This is the mystery. Paul understood it well.
As we see, David announced judging in righteousness several times. As we saw previously, David was speaking of the end of the age, but he also speaks of judging in righteousness for the present.
Psalms 7:8 G2962 The lord G2919 judges G2992 peoples. G2919 Judge G1473 me, G2962 O lord, G2596 according to G3588 G1343 my righteousness! G1473 G2532 and G2596 according to G3588 G171.1 my innocence G1473 G1909 judge for G1473 me!
Yahweh judges the laos, laity. David asked to be judged kata, downwards, from heaven to earth, on his righteousness and innocence. David is bold in asking to be judged, but he understood that his faith, or trust, or fidelity, in Yahweh made him righteous. Certainly David would not be writing songs to Yahweh, and speaking to Yahweh if he did not have faith in Yahweh. Therefore David was bold because he was righteous. First we see David ask to be judged as to David’s righteousness, then we see David ask to be judged as to Yahweh’s righteous.
Psalms 35:24 G2919 Judge G1473 me, G2962 O lord, G2596 according to G3588 G1343 your righteousness, G1473 G2962 O lord G3588 G2316 my God, G1473 G2532 and G3361 let them not G2020.1 rejoice against G1473 me!
Yahweh judges via his own righteousness. Yahweh is righteous. David wants to be judged by his own righteousness and by Yahweh’s righteousness. How can he lose? This is a great key when under spiritual attack. Go into the courts of heaven and ask Yahweh to judge according to your righteousness and according to his righteousness. The enemy may have been getting away with an attack unjustly. Bring it before the courts of the Lord. This was David’s situation. David asks for Yahweh to bring righteous judgment to the ones who were wronging him and for Yahweh to wage war against those people, Psalms 35:1. If we are righteous because of our faith, then we can ask Yahweh to also wage war against those being used to attack us. Drakōn and Satanas do not have the power to overcome Yahweh’s judgment so they must back down.
Psalms 72:2 G2919 to judge G3588 G2992 your people G1473 G1722 in G1343 righteousness, G2532 and G3588 G4434 your poor G1473 G1722 with G2920 equity.
David writes this psalm for Solomon, asking for the Elohim to give his judgment to the king and Yahweh’s righteousness to the son of the king. David asks for Yahweh to judge His people in righteousness. As we know, Yahweh gave his people many opportunities to have faith in him, but they eventually lost their nation. The children of Jacob were judged in righteousness many times. The righteous always had a way out, whether it was the diaspora, or migration to other lands, or separating from the Pharisaical error, the righteous always had a way out. It may not have looked like Yahweh’s way at the time but eventually it was known that it was Yahweh’s way for the righteous. David mentions that Yahweh will judge the world in righteousness again. It is as if he wanted people to understand this.
Psalms 96:10 G2036 Say G1722 among G3588 the G1484 nations G3754 that, G2962 The lord G936 reigns! G2532 For even G1063 G2734.2 he set up G3588 the G3611 inhabitable world G3748 which G3756 will not G4531 be shaken. G2919 He shall judge G2992 peoples G1722 in G2118 straightness.
11 G2165 Let [3be glad G3588 1the G3772 2heavens], G2532 and G21 let [3exult G3588 1the G1093 2earth]! G4531 Let [3be shaken G3588 1the G2281 2sea], G2532 and G3588 the G4138 fullness G1473 of it!
12 G5463 [3shall rejoice G3588 1The G3977.1 2plains], G2532 and G3956 all G3588 the things G1722 in G1473 them. G5119 Then G21 [6shall exult G3956 1all G3588 2the G3586 3trees G3588 4of the G1409.1 5forest]
13 G575 from G4383 the face G3588 of the G2962 lord, G3754 for G2064 he comes; G3754 for G2064 he comes G2919 to judge G3588 the G1093 earth. G2919 He shall judge G3588 the G3611 inhabitable world G1722 in G1343 righteousness, G2532 and G2992 peoples G1722 in G3588 G225 his truth. G1473
He comes to judge the earth, which includes the elements, the sea, the plains, the forests. The elements will all see the face of Yahweh as he comes to judge the earth. At that time Yahweh will also judge the dwelling, the inhabitable world in righteousness and all the laity, the people, in His truth, alētheia.
This is interesting because as we know the creation groans and travails until the revealing of the sons of God, Romans 8. We also know that during the tribulation, the trumpet judgments are judgments of the earth punishing humans. Men call the first half of the tribulation “the wrath of the Lamb” (Revelation 6:16), but really Jesus isn’t harming anyone at this point. The seal judgments are men killing men, the trumpet judgments are the elements rising against humans on the earth. The seven thunders speak, and at the seventh trumpet the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of our Lord and Christ. Men on earth think that this time is the wrath of the Lamb, but really it is the wrath of men and the wrath of the elements. The elements will not be fixed with a ‘green new deal’, they will be fixed when the sons of God are revealed from heaven with Jesus Christ on the Day of the Lord. But first, before Yahweh takes the kingdoms of the world over, he comes to judge the world in righteousness.
Psalms 98:9 G3754 For G2240 he comes G2919 to judge G3588 the G1093 earth; G2919 he shall judge G3588 the G3611 inhabitable world G1722 in G1343 righteousness, G2532 and G2992 peoples G1722 in G2118 straightness.
The understanding that the humans would be judged in righteousness was known by every prophet from David on. Yahweh will judge, or separate, or decide, who is righteous. We know that one must be righteous to be harpazo’d. The righteous dead and the righteous living meet Yahweh in the air. This is the judgment of righteousness on the inhabitable world. The unrighteous are left on the earth.
Jesus says that people judge themselves by their faith. Jesus didn’t come to earth at that time to judge the world. When he calls from the clouds he judges in righteous. When he comes with his saints at the end of the tribulation, on the Day of the Lord, he judges in righteousness and makes war, as he will be King of kings and Lord of lords, Revelation 19:11-ff. This is when he dethrones Drakōn and Satanas. Jesus explained judgment in the last days.
John 12:44 G* And Jesus G1161 G2896 cried out G2532 and G2036 said, G3588 The one G4100 believing G1519 in G1473 me, G3756 believes not G4100 G1519 in G1473 me, G235 but G1519 in G3588 the one G3992 having sent G1473 me;
We who believe on Jesus believe in the Father. The Father sent his only begotten son.
John 12:45 G2532 and G3588 the one G2334 contemplating G1473 me, G2334 contemplates G3588 the one G3992 having sent G1473 me.
The word contemplating is the word theōreō, meaning “being a spectator” or “beholding and experiencing”. Those who were in Israel, who saw Jesus and discerned him, also experienced and discerned the Father who sent him.
John 12:46 G1473 I G5457 [2a light G1519 3unto G3588 4the G2889 5world G2064 1have come], G2443 that G3956 every one G3588 G4100 believing G1519 in G1473 me, G1722 [2in G3588 3the G4653 4darkness G3361 1should not abide]. G3306
Jesus came as a light into the cosmos. Those who believe on Jesus do not stay or remain in darkness or gloom. We do see a lot of gloomy people in the world. People do not have to be gloomy or filled with spiritual darkness.
John 12:47 G2532 And G1437 if G5100 anyone G1473 should hear of my G191 G3588 G4487 sayings, G2532 and G3361 should not G4100 believe, G1473 I G3756 do not G2919 judge G1473 him; G3756 for I did not G1063 G2064 come G2443 that G2919 I judge G3588 the G2889 world, G235 but G2443 that G4982 I should deliver G3588 the G2889 world.
If people don’t believe what Jesus said and want to be in spiritual darkness, Jesus is not judging that person. Jesus came to earth to deliver the world.
John 12:48 G3588 The one G114 disregarding G1473 me, G2532 and G3361 receives not G2983 G3588 G4487 my words, G1473 G2192 has G3588 the thing G2919 judging G1473 him -- G3588 the G3056 word G3739 which G2980 I have spoken, G1565 that G2919 shall judge G1473 him G1722 in G3588 the G2078 last G2250 day.
The person who ignores or rejects Jesus and does not receive His rhēma will be judged by Jesus’ logos in the final day. The rhēma that Jesus spoke were words from the Father. Jesus’ logos is his recorded words. This tells us that even though we were not standing next to Jesus when he spoke, the recorded words that Jesus spoke will be our judge. Everyone in our age can have the words of Jesus.
John 12:49 G3754 For G1473 I G1537 of G1683 myself G3756 G2980 spoke not; G235 but G3588 the G3992 [2having sent G1473 3me G3962 1father], G1473 he G1473 [3to me G1785 2command G1325 1gave] G5100 what G2036 I should say, G2532 and G5100 what G2980 I should speak.
The Father told Jesus what to say to Israel. Jesus’ words were spoken and then recorded. Those who reject Jesus are judged by the words that he brought from the Father.
John 12:50 G2532 And G1492 I know G3754 that G3588 G1785 his command G1473 G2222 [2life G166 3eternal G1510.2.3 1is]. G3739 What G3767 then G2980 I speak, G1473 G2531 as G2046 [3has said G1473 4to me G3588 1the G3962 2father], G3779 so G2980 I speak
The Father’s commands are eternal life. So then, who does not want eternal life? Are people really willing to reject Jesus for eternal death? When Jesus judges the world in righteousness, the people who have rejected Jesus’ words from the Father are left under the control and rule of Drakōn and Satanas.
There is another aspect of those who are judged righteous. The righteous will judge the world and the angels. Yes, Jesus does not judge the world, he comes to judge in righteousness and makes war. The righteous saints who come with him judge the world or the unrighteous. This will be quite a turn of events. Today, Drakōn and Satanas believe that they have the right to judge us and we have to take these matters to the courts of heaven. However, when the saints return with Jesus then we judge the world.
1 Corinthians 6:1 G5111 Dare G5100 any one G1473 of you, G4229 [2a thing G2192 1having] G4314 against G3588 the G2087 other, G2919 plead G1909 before G3588 the G94 unjust, G2532 and G3780 not G1909 before G3588 the G39 holy ones?
What Paul is trying to communicate here is that if you are having an issue with someone in the church then take them to the saints, not the unjust people in the community. We should be wise and mature enough to help the saints settle disputes. Why? Because we will judge the world.
1 Corinthians 6:2 G3756 Do you not G1492 know G3754 that G3588 the G39 holy ones G3588 [2the G2889 3world G2919 1shall judge]? G2532 And G1487 if G1722 by G1473 you G2919 [3is judged G3588 1the G2889 2world], G370 are you unworthy G1510.2.5 G2922 of the judgment seat G1646 of the least?
If the righteous will judge the cosmos then they should be able to at least judge the matters in the church. Paul asks if the Corinthians are inadequate or unfit for the “little court”. Compare the little courts on earth to the massive courts of the Lord. Our courts or tribunals are very small in comparison. This is Paul’s point, in a sarcastic sort of way. We should be able to judge in these small matters.
1 Corinthians 6:3 G3756 Do you not G1492 know G3754 that G32 [2angels G2919 1we shall judge]? G3385 how much more G1065 indeed G982 of the cares of life?
Paul reminds the Corinthians that they (the saints) are also judging the angels. The righteous judge the cosmos and the angels. We should be able to figure out a right judgment today. This is a great reminder that the angels are not all doing the right things. They have free will to follow Yahweh, or Satanas, or Drakōn. Paul now makes a suggestion.
1 Corinthians 6:4 G982 [6 the cares of life G3303 5as to G3767 3then G2922 4 the judgment seat G1437 1If G2192 2you have] G3588 of the ones G1848 being treated with contempt, G1722 [3in G3588 4the G1577 5assembly G3778 2of these G2523 1 then do you sit]?
“If have therefore a court truly in existence, the rejected or despised make them to sit down in the ekklesia”.
Make those in the church who are rejected or despised to sit on a court within the church. It is an interesting suggestion. If those who are rejected or looked down upon are made judges then they will no longer be looked down upon. They also may not have many friends, so their judgments won’t be hindered. Today we do this backwards in the church. We give people these prominent positions such as deacons or elders, and then they judge the people. This puts those who already have prominent positions as lords over the regular laity. Instead, Paul says to put the lowly despised people in charge of judging matters, then the deacons and elders will behave themselves.
When we find ourselves in a position to have to judge within the body of Christ then we can pray as Solomon did. Solomon felt as if he were feeble, not capable, and too young.
Wis 9:1 O God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,
Wis 9:2 And ordained man through thy wisdom, that he should have dominion over the creatures which thou hast made,
Wis 9:3 And order the world according to equity and righteousness, and execute judgment with an upright heart:
Wis 9:4 Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne; and reject me not from among thy children:
Wis 9:5 For I thy servant and son of thine handmaid am a feeble person, and of a short time, and too young for the understanding of judgment and laws.
Wis 9:6 For though a man be never so perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.
Wis 9:7 Thou hast chosen me to be a king of thy people, and a judge of thy sons and daughters:
This is an interesting view that Solomon has. He did not feel fit or capable, so he prayed. By mere prayer, we see that Solomon had faith which made him righteous for the tasks ahead. Later, Solomon could give advice to his sons.
Proverbs 2:1 G5207 O son, G1437 if G1209 receiving G4488.1 the saying G1699 of my G1785 commandment, G2928 you shall hide it G3844 unto G4572 yourself;
2 G5219 [2shall obey G4678 3wisdom G3588 G3775 1your ear], G1473 G2532 and G3846 you shall set aside G2588 your heart G1473 G1519 unto G4907 understanding; G3846 and you shall set G1161 G1473 it G1909 for G3560.2 admonition G3588 to G5207 your son. G1473
Hide Solomons commandments within yourself and obey wisdom. Solomon understood wisdom, the Spirit of Wisdom, Sophia. Solomon asked for wisdom instead of riches. This is why Solomon was so well respected. We are also to set our heart to understanding, meaning that we put things together in the mind or intellect. This is something that we are to pursue.
Proverbs 2:3 G1437 For if G1063 G3588 G4678 [2wisdom G1941 1you should call upon], G2532 and G3588 G4907 [3for understanding G1325 1should give G5456 2your voice]; G1473
4 G3588 G1161 and G144 [3perception G2212 1you should seek G3173 2great] G3588 with your G5456 voice; G2532 and G1437 if G2212 you should seek G1473 her G5613 as G694 silver, G2532 and G5613 [2as for G2344 3treasures G1830 1should search her out]; G1473
Ask for the Holy Spirit. Call on the Holy Spirit. Seek her like precious metals and treasures. Why?
Proverbs 2:5 G5119 then G4920 you shall perceive G5401 the fear G2962 of the lord, G2532 and G1922 [2full knowledge G2316 3of God G2147 1you will find].
Then you will put together the fear of Yahweh and find the over-knowledge of the Elohim. Isn’t this the journey that we are all on? We want to understand the spiritual side of life. We know that there is more for us to learn, so we pursue understanding.
Proverbs 2:6 G3754 For G2962 the lord G1325 gives G4678 wisdom; G2532 and G575 from G4383 his presence G1473 G1108 knowledge G2532 and G4907 understanding.
Yahweh gives wisdom and from his face gnōsis “knowledge”, and sunesis “mental putting together”. This means that we can meet with Yahweh face to face, and when we do then we receive the Holy Spirit, knowledge, and understanding.
Proverbs 2:7 G2532 And G2343 he treasures up G3588 [2to the ones G2734.2 3keeping straight G4991 1deliverance]; G5231.3 and he will shield G1161 G3588 G4197 their goings; G1473
8 G3588 G5442 to guard G3598 the way G1345 of right actions; G2532 and G3598 the way G2125 of the ones venerating G1473 him G1314 he will protect.
Yahweh reserves salvation for those with downward uprightness, which means moral straightness from heaven. Those who pursue the face of Yahweh and have moral straightness are reserved for salvation. He defends their pursuit and guards the path of righteous acts and the path of those reverencing Him he guards. It is up to the individual to pursue Yahweh and his ways. But when we do, we have protection and salvation.
Proverbs 2:9 G5119 Then G4920 you shall perceive G1343 righteousness G2532 and G2917 judgment, G2532 and G2734.2 you shall set up G3956 all G516.1 courses of action G18 for good things .
“At that time put together mentally righteousness and judgment and downward success all appropriate good”.
Solomon is saying that we are to listen to the Holy Spirit, we are to meet with Yahweh face to face, and we are to find the knowledge of the Elohim. Then Yahweh reserves salvation for those who are morally straight and he will guard our ways. Therefore it is up to us to grow from credence (acceptance) to fidelity (loyalty) in Yahweh, and for us to live by faith. When we do we gain righteousness and judgment or discernment.
Today people cannot understand why the righteous are not punished by Yahweh, just as Israel and Judah were punished. The righteous are not appointed to wrath because the righteous have confessed Jesus as Lord. Those who reject Yahweh judge themselves.
Rom 10:9 (LITV) Because if you confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation.
Faith in one’s heart produces righteousness and speaking that out loud produces salvation. One cannot pray to God without believing in the existence of God. No one would waste their time praying without trusting or believing. People worship Satanas, and they believe he exists, yet why wouldn’t people believe in Satanas’ creator? Silly, isn’t it? Somehow people find it harder to believe on Jesus as Yahweh than believe on an evil fallen being who is not a creator and has no power to create.
Rom 10:11 For the Scripture says, "Everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame." Isa. 28:16
Everyone who believes on Jesus as Yahweh will not be put to shame, disgrace, or dishonor. Remembering history, Nimrod was the first one to dissuade people from Yahweh by shaming them when they thanked or praised Yahweh for blessings. Even though it became a cultural taboo to speak of Yahweh in early Chaldea, the people are still judged in righteousness. So even though it looks like people are shamed for trusting Jesus as Yahweh, they will not ever be disgraced.
Rom 10:12 For there is no difference both of Jew and of Greek, for the same Lord of all is rich toward all the ones calling on Him.
Here is the key to correct misunderstanding. After Jesus rose up on the third day and ascended, there is no difference between nationalities or tribes. Jesus is Yahweh for all people. The distinction is between the righteous and unrighteous.
The righteous are not punished or appointed to wrath. The righteous are judged in righteousness. If you insist that you are going to live through the tribulation then you are not made righteous. You do not trust in Yahweh. That would also mean that you are unsaved or not reserved for salvation. You also do not have the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Wisdom, residing within you. These are not the people that the righteous should be following. These are not the churches that the righteous should be gathering in.
Rom 10:13 For everyone, "whoever may call on the name of the Lord will be saved." Joel 2:32
Are you saved or not? There are many pretenders. There are many fear mongers. Some people believe that causing a psychological phobia in others keeps them coming back to church. It turns into a cycle of inadequacy that can only be mitigated by works. That is a disgrace. Fear has torment and is not made perfect in love.
Rom 10:14 How then may they call on One into whom they have not believed? And how may they believe One of whom they have not heard? And how may they hear without preaching?
If we call on Yahweh then we must believe that he exists. If we believe that he exists then we must realize he judges us in righteousness.
Rom 10:15 And how may they preach if they are not sent? Even as it has been written, "How beautiful" "the feet of those preaching the gospel of peace, of those preaching the gospel of good things." Isa. 52:7
This is our call, to bring the good news, the gospel, to others. Leave the doom and gloom churches behind and teach others the good news of faith, which brings righteousness, which brings salvation.
Rom 10:16 But not all obeyed the gospel, for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?" Isa. 53:1
This is true today, not all believe or trust Jesus as Yahweh. Not all trust in his rhēma and logos, which they will be judged by. Here is the remedy.
Rom 10:17 Then faith is of hearing, and hearing through the Word of God.
Faith comes by hearing the rhēma of the Elohim. Trust comes by the rhēma of the Elohim. We grow from out of credence/acceptance into fidelity/loyalty.
Rom 10:18 But I say, Did they not hear? Yes, rather, "into all the earth their voice went out, and to the ends of the world their words." LXX-Psa. 18:5; MT-Psa. 19:4
Now there is no excuse. The rhēma went out into the ends of the inhabitable world. The same inhabitable world that has been judged in righteousness over and over. The inhabitable world that will be judged in righteousness in the end days by the hidden Son.
Rom 10:19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First, Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy by a non-nation, by an unwise nation I will anger you." Deut. 32:21
Israel’s rejection of Jesus oddly angers them. They see Yahweh in relationship with Christians who are from many nations. Israel believes that she is special, yet she rejects her Messiah. She is jealous of Christianity.
Rom 10:20 But Isaiah is very bold and says, "I was found by those not seeking Me; I became known to those not inquiring after Me." Isa. 65:1
People became Christians because they found Yahweh. They didn’t start out looking for him, meaning He wasn’t their nation’s God. There was no temple for Yahweh in their own land. Yet Yahweh became known to them.
Rom 10:21 But to Israel He says, "All the day I stretched out My hands to a disobeying and contradicting people." Isa. 65:2
Isaiah 65: 1 G1717 [2apparent G1096 1I became] G3588 to the ones G1473 [3for me G3361 1not G2212 2seeking]. G2147 I was found G3588 by the ones G1473 [3for me G3361 1not G1905 2asking]. G2036 I said, G2400 Behold, G1510.2.1 I am -- G3588 to the G1484 nation, G3739 the ones who G3756 did not G2564 call G1473 of me G3588 by G3686 name.
2 G1600 I spread forth G3588 G5495 my hands G1473 G3650 the entire G3588 G2250 day G4314 to G2992 a people G544 resisting persuasion G2532 and G483 speaking contrary; G3588 the ones G3756 not G4198 having gone G3598 [2way G18 1 the good], G235 but G3694 after G3588 G266 their sins. G1473
As Isaiah prophesied, Yahweh was found by the other nations. It was the mission of Jacob’s heirs to teach the nations about Yahweh, just as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob did. The nations found Yahweh and he became known to them. Just as Paul told us in Acts 17, all the nations were separated and assigned for a proper time, and their territories are set in order for them to seek and find Yahweh. The rhēma went out all over the inhabitable world. There is no excuse.
Sadly today we are fighting a social battle of erasing Yahweh from society, similar to what Nimrod did. Communism rejects the knowledge of Yahweh our creator. Paul told us in Acts 17 that territories are separated so that the people might feel Him and find Him as He is near to all of us. Wicked people inspired by wicked fallen beings cannot change Yahweh’s judgment in righteousness. We think of judgment as punishment like our own court systems. But righteous judgment is separating the righteous from the unrighteous. Noah, Job, and Daniel, were separated by their righteousness. The judgment that separates the righteous away from the unrighteous leaves the unrighteous to fight among themselves. The absence of the Holy Spirit on the earth brings chaos, because the Holy Spirit within the believer is holding back chaos. Is there a scripture that says the Holy Spirit will be ripped out of the righteous so that the righteous will go through the tribulation? No. Therefore if someone insists that they are going to live through the tribulation then they are not righteous and they lack faith and trust.
Psalm 42 is written by the sons of Korah. This is written for the fulfillment, or the end, or completion, for the mentally putting together, sunesis, understanding. This psalm is for understanding the end times. Now Picture this.
Psalms 42:4 G3778 These things G3403 I remembered, G2532 and G1632 [2poured out G1909 3upon G1473 4me G3588 G5590 1my soul], G1473 G3754 for G1330 I shall go through G1722 to G5117 the place G4633 [2tent G2298 1of the wonderful], G2193 unto G3588 the G3624 house G3588 G2316 of God, G1722 with G5456 a voice G20 of exultation, G2532 and G1843.1 acknowledgment G2279 of the sound G1858 of the solemnizing a holiday.
“This call to mind shed upon me my soul, because travel in place, tabernacle wonderful, until the house the Elohim in, sound great joy, confession echo, observe a festival.”
The context is understanding the end times. He thirsts for the Elohim and is put in remembrance of these things. His soul, breath life, is poured forth. He goes to the wonderful tent, the house of the Elohim, and celebrates the festival with wild joy.
Psalms 42:5 G2444 Why G4036 are you dejected, G1510.2.2 G3588 O G5590 my soul? G1473 G2532 and G2444 why G4928.4 do you disturb me? G1473 G1679 Hope G1909 upon G3588 G2316 God! G3754 for G1843 I shall acknowledge G1473 to him G4992 the deliverance G3588 G4383 of my person. G1473
“For what reason are you deeply grieved my soul and for what reason shake me up? Hope on the Elohim because I acknowledge defender my face.”
Introspectively he asks himself why he is deeply grieved or very sorrowful, and trembling, or having concussions within in him. He tells himself to hope, expect, and trust in the Elohim. He says that he will confess Him for bringing salvation to his own personal self.
Psalms 42:6 G3588 O G2316 my God, G1473 G4314 to G1683 myself G3588 G5590 my soul G1473 G5015 was disturbed; G1223 on account of G3778 this G3403 I will remember G1473 you G1537 from G1093 the land G* of Jordan, G2532 and G* Hermons, G575 from G3735 [2mountain G3397 1 the small].
“My Elohim towards myself my soul agitate. Through this I remember from out of region Jordan and Hermon away from mountain small.”
His soul, breath life, was agitated or troubled so he remembers the Elohim.
Psalms 42:7 G12 The deep G12 [2 the deep G1941 1calls] G1519 at G5456 the sound G3588 G2674.1 of your torrents; G1473 G3956 all G3588 G3349.1 your crests G1473 G2532 and G3588 G2949 your waves G1473 G1909 [2over G1473 3me G1330 1went].
“Abyss abyss invoke into sound their downward water all their fluctuations and their swells on me traverse.”
The abyss invokes the abyss. It was like being drawn under the water, and the waves and swells wash over him. In other words, depressive thoughts draw one into deeper depression, until that one is washed over and drowning in sorrow.
Psalms 42:8 G2250 By day G1781 the lord gives charge to G2962 G3588 G1656 his mercy, G1473 G2532 and G3571 at night G5603 his ode G1473 G3844 shall be with G1473 me -- G4335 a prayer G3588 to the G2316 God G3588 G2222 of my life. G1473
“Day command Yahweh his compassion and night his song alongside me. Pray the Elohim my life.”
Yahweh has compassion for us and his song is beside us. We do not have to fear because he is very near to us.
Psalms 42:9 G2046 I will say G3588 G2316 to God, G483.1 [2shielder G1473 1You are my]; G1510.2.2 G1302 why did G1473 you forget me? G1950 G2444 Why G4658.1 [2looking downcast G4198 1do I go] G1722 at G3588 the G1570.2 squeezing G3588 by the G2190 enemy?
“Say the Elohim my helper you are. Why you neglect, why pouting I travel in the crush the hateful.”
Doesn’t it feel like in our day we are traveling in the crush of the hateful. There are hateful people all around us, pushing us on every side. Remember, this is a psalm for understanding the last days.
Psalms 42:10 G1722 In G3588 the G2616.4 breaking in pieces G3588 G3747 of my bones, G1473 G3679 [4berated G1473 5me G3588 1the ones G2346 2afflicting G1473 3me]; G1722 while G3588 G3004 in their saying G1473 G1473 to me G2596 accordingly G1538 each G2250 day, G4226 Where G1510.2.3 is G3588 G2316 your God? G1473
“In the downward press my bones revile me, persecuting me, in their speak me downward every day where is your Elohim.”
The hateful people mock and revile us. They talk down to us and chide ‘where is your God’. They really do not want an answer to that question. Our Yahweh Elohim will be judging the world in righteousness, meaning the unrighteous mockers will be left to destroy each other.
Psalms 42:11 G2444 Why G4036 are you dejected, G1510.2.2 G3588 O G5590 my soul? G1473 G2532 and G2444 why G4928.4 do you disturb me? G1473 G1679 Hope G1909 upon G3588 G2316 God! G3754 for G1843 I shall acknowledge G1473 to him G4991 the deliverance G3588 G4383 of my person, G1473 G2532 and G3588 G2316 my God.
“Why deeply grieved are you my soul and why shake me up? Hope on the Elohim. Because I confess salvation my face and the Elohim.”
He then asks his soul again why it is shaken up. He tells himself to hope on the Elohim because he confesses salvation from the Elohim of his own self/person.
We need to cut through the charade of fake Christianity with the sword of the spirit. Yahweh’s words are true and the naysayers have no faith. Therefore the faithless should not be instructing the faithful. The faithless prey on the laity with doom and gloom to keep the fearful coming back. Stop the merry-go-round. The days are depressing because the crush of evil is all around us, but it also within our own assemblies. Our expectation is in what Yahweh has said. Hebrews 11:1 “But persuasion is understanding expectation, deeds proof not seen.” Faith brings righteousness. Righteousness brings salvation. The inhabitable world will be judged in righteousness. This is not punishment for the righteous. This is separation of the righteous from the unrighteous. Jesus is not really punishing anyone, they are punishing themselves because of their unbelief. The saints will judge the world, which means the unbelievers; and the saints will judge the angels. There is no reason to be downcast, or depressed by our evil times. Instead, just like the sons of Korah wrote, go into the house of the Elohim with wild joy and celebrate the holy days. His promises are not broken, our faith is understanding expectations, the things that haven’t been seen yet. We are to understand the end times, the hidden son will judge in righteousness. But until then, we can be wildly joyful, looking forward to the day when we are separated.
