Some people question why certain political groups hate God. The question is an interesting one but also applies to anyone who rejects God, no matter their political leanings. The reason that people reject the Elohim is because they want to be their own god. The name for this is a disbeliever or an anti-christ. If one acknowledges that there is a Creator of the heavens, the earth, and of mankind, then that one would recognize their own small position in the world and would naturally have to submit to that Creator. If one rejects the Creator, they do not see their own smallness. Disbelievers want to decide what things they want to do in their own life, making themselves their own god. As their own god they cannot create. They do not have supernatural powers on their own. This reality makes that person miserable as his/her own god. Disbelievers or antichrists (not The Anti-Christ) are angered easily when things do not go the way that they want. Antichrists do not value other humans, even those who also choose to be their own god. These people become hypocrites as they vie for what they want and step on others to get it, yet when someone else steps on them then they become angry. These people want to dictate how others should live, but they will not live by the standards that they set for others. Narcissism is a key trait, but not an absolute trait. Antichrists are simply those who reject Jesus Christ as Yahweh and Messiah. John says that many have already gone out into the world when he wrote his epistle almost two thousand years ago.
1Jn 2:18 (ISV) Little children, it is the last hour. Just as you heard that an antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour.

ἀντίχριστος
antichristos an-tee'-khris-tos From G473 and G5547; an opponent of the Messiah KJV Usage: antichrist.
An anitchrist can be one person who claims to be god or the messiah. But an antichrist can be many people who oppose, reject, or disbelieve in the Elohim or the Messiah. Anti means “opposite” or “instead of” and Christ means “anointed” or “Messiah”.
1 John 2:22 G5100 Who G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G5583 liar, G1508 if not G3588 the one G720 denying, saying G3754 that, G* Jesus G3756 is not G1510.2.3 G3588 the G5547 Christ? G3778 This G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G500 antichrist, G3588 the one G720 denying G3588 the G3962 father G2532 and G3588 the G5207 son.
There are people who reject Jesus as Messiah, but if they do deny Jesus, then they are antichrist.
1 John 2:23 G3956 Every one G3588 G720 denying G3588 the G5207 son, G3761 neither G3588 [2the G3962 3father G2192 1has].
If they disbelieve Jesus they do not have the Father either. Some people believe that they can believe in the Father but not believe in the Son. That is incorrect. Once Jesus came to earth there was no longer an excuse because Yahweh came in the flesh. Jesus sums it up this way.
Luke 12:8 G3004 But I say G1161 G1473 to you, G3956 Every one G3739 who G302 ever G3670 should make acknowledgement G1722 in G1473 me G1715 before G3588 G444 men, G2532 also G3588 the G5207 son G3588 G444 of man G3670 will make acknowledgement G1722 in G1473 him G1715 before G3588 the G32 angels G3588 G2316 of God.
That is simple for all the Christians, but not very easy for non-believers. This tells us that one must confess Jesus in front of or before the face of, emprosthen, “manfaced”. This cannot be done after one dies. Jesus has to be confessed in the presence of other men, on the earth, before death.
Luke 12:9 G3588 But the one G1161 G720 denying G1473 me G1799 before G3588 G444 men, G533 will be totally rejected G1799 before G3588 the G32 angels G3588 G2316 of God.
If one denies Jesus, arneomai, that one will be denied, aparneomai, before the face of the angels and the Elohim. Once a person dies it is too late to change their confession because it has to be done in front of or in the presence of men.
Luke 12:10 G2532 And G3956 every one G3739 who G2046 shall say G3056 a word G1519 against G3588 the G5207 son G3588 G444 of man, G863 it shall be forgiven G1473 him; G3588 but to the one G1161 G1519 [2against G3588 3the G39 4holy G4151 5spirit G987 1blaspheming], G3756 it will not G863 be forgiven.
Jesus continues by adding the Holy Spirit to the context. One can speak against Jesus but one cannot speak against the Holy Spirit. Here we see the Elohim, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, all having a part in our belief of Yahweh as our Messiah. Antichrists do not want to know about the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit.
Paul explains disbelievers to us. Paul says that the evidence is all around and yet exchanged the Creator’s image for corruptible things. This is what made them perverted.
Romans 1:21 G1360 Because G1097 having known G3588 G2316 God, G3756 [2not G5613 3as G2316 4God G1392 1they glorified him], G2228 or G2168 gave thanks; G235 but G3154 acted in folly G1722 in G3588 G1261 their thoughts, G1473 G2532 and G4654 [4was darkened G3588 G801 2senseless G1473 1their G2588 3heart].
22 G5335 Maintaining G1510.1 to be G4680 wise, G3471 they became moronish;
23 G2532 and G236 they bartered G3588 the G1391 glory G3588 of the G862 incorruptible G2316 God G1722 for G3667 a representation G1504 of an image G5349 of corruptible G444 man, G2532 and G4071 birds, G2532 and G5074 four-footed creatures, G2532 and G2062 reptiles.
These are disbelievers and antichrists who are morons. They are the most unhappy, unsatisfied, unintelligent, people on the earth. Some people call them atheists, but a more accurate word is antichrist. In David’s age the Messiah was prophesied as coming to earth in the future. David was ensuring that future by eradicating the Philistines. Antichrists and disbelievers in David’s time did not care if there was a future Messiah, they only cared about themselves. There was no place in Abraham’s Bay for the unbeliever before Jesus came to earth. All unbelievers end up in hell.
There are many antichrists in the world. Some deny that Jesus came in the flesh. Some deny that Jesus was the Son of the Most High God. Some deny the Creator, who was Jesus. Some deny that all things were made by Jesus, visible and invisible and that Jesus was before all things and in Jesus all things consist. The deniers hate the Elohim, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The disbelievers want to be god of the world. They do not want to even acknowledge that there is a power greater than themselves. With their perverted nature they want to condemn all believers in Christ.
Conversely, David acknowledged the Elohim. He praised the Elohim. He prayed to the Elohim. He met with the Elohim. David submitted his life to Yahweh Elohim. David did not suffer for that decision. David was willing to do whatever was needed and Yahweh tasked him with being a giant slayer for Israel. When disbelievers and anti-christ’s want to harm Christians it is not because we are a random target, it is because we have the markings of a submitted life. In a submitted life to Yahweh we prosper, not of our own accord but on account of Yahweh. We pray and he hears and delivers us. We follow His directions and later we see the benefits in our submission.
Many people in the Church want to be a dynamic worshipper like David. But as we know, David was also a giant slayer. David was also wholly submitted to Yahweh. Many Christians don’t want to be that submitted to the Elohim because they want to live their own lives their way. David wrote a prayer and a song that we can learn from.

προσευχή
proseuchē pros-yoo-khay' From G4336; prayer (worship); by implication an oratory (chapel)
KJV Usage: X pray earnestly, prayer.
This word proseuchē implies “prayer in a place for prayer”. The tabernacle of Moses was in Gibeon, and the ark was nearby at Kiriath-Jearim. David is praying at the tabernacle before bringing the ark into the tabernacle of Moses. This is was a popular place to pray.
Psalm 17:1 G1522 Hear, G2962 O lord, G3588 G1343 my righteousness! G1473 G4337 Take heed G3588 to G1162 my supplication! G1473 G1801 Give ear G3588 to G4335 my prayer G1473 G3756 not uttered G1722 by G5491 [2lips G1386 1deceitful]!
“Listen Yahweh the my righteousness, pay attention to the my petition. Hearken to the my prayer not in fraudulent lips.”
David points out his own righteousness and asks Yahweh to listen to his petition and prayer. David is not speaking fraudulently or deceitfully.
Psalm 17:2 G1537 [4from G4383 5your presence G1473 G3588 G2917 2my judgment G1473 G1831 1May 3come forth]; G3588 G3788 [2my eyes G1473 G1492 1let] behold G2118 uprightness!
“From out of your face the my judgment issue the my eyes see rectitude.”
David says “from out of your face my judgment issues”. This tells us the David is submitted to Yahweh even though he is asking for Yahweh to hear him. David acknowledges Yahweh is the judge. David says “my eyes see rectitude”. Rectitude means “morally correct thinking and behavior, or uprightness”. David knows where judgment come from, it comes from the face of Yahweh, and David’s vision is for uprightness. David is submitted to Yahweh’s judgment and works hard to keep himself upright.
Someone who is an antichrist and a disbeliever would never consider being judged by Yahweh. In fact they seem to lash out at the idea that they should be judged anywhere, anytime, or by anyone, ever. Generally speaking, the antichrists do not believe in any judgments against them, but they are very aware of what everyone else should be judged for. They are the most judgmental people of society. They judge by division. Separate people by race, color, beliefs, mental illnesses, and judge one group against another. Divide even more as to opinions, preferences, and ideas. Divide even smaller as to whoever will submit to this person pretending to be god of everyone, and pretty soon the only ones left are the ones willing to be remade in the image of some perverted, godless, powerless, individual who is on the way to hell. The “global money meeting” elites are simply antichrists.
Psalm 17:3 G1381 You tried G3588 G2588 my heart; G1473 G1980 you visited G3571 at night; G4448 you set me on fire, G1473 G2532 and G3756 [2was not found G2147 G1722 3in G1473 4me G93 1injustice], G3704 so G302 that G3361 [2should not G2980 3speak G3588 G4750 1my mouth]. G1473
“The test my heart inspect night, purify me by fire and not find in me injustice in order that not talk the my mouth.”
David asks Yahweh to test his heart. This isn’t really a statement that Yahweh tested David, David is saying that he wants to be tested. David can say this because he knows that he is submitted to Yahweh. Those who want Yahweh to test them know that they can pass the test.
Psalm 17:4 G3588 Concerning the G2041 works G3588 G444 of men, G1223 by G3588 the G3056 words G3588 G5491 of your lips G1473 G1473 I G5442 guarded G3598 [2ways G4642 1hard].
“The toil the manfaced through the word (logos) the your lips I keep watch and ward hard paths.”
David keeps guard or watches and wards over the logos of Yahweh. These are hard paths for manfaced. Why? Because there is rejection by our peers at every turn and antichrists become known to us. Yahweh’s words are not hard for anyone who loves Him. David walked hard paths such as killing Philistines, but Yahweh was with David every step of the way.
We don’t get to the place that David was by sitting around thinking about it. We have to walk out in faith on Yahweh’s words. We submit to him, then do what he asks us to do.
Psalm 17:5 G2675 Fashion G3588 G1226.1 my footsteps G1473 G1722 in G3588 G5147 your roads! G1473 G2443 that G3361 [2should not G4531 3be shaken G3588 G1226.1 1my footsteps]. G1473
“Adjust the my steps in the your worn path in order that my steps not waver.”
David is concerned about every step being on the correct path. The antichrists can huff and puff but they can’t blow Yahweh down and they can’t overtake Yahweh our Creator. They can pretend all they want but it does not change anything.
Psalm 17:6 G1473 I G2896 cried, G3754 for G1873 you heeded G1473 me, G3588 O G2316 God; G2827 lean G3588 G3775 your ear G1473 G1473 to me, G2532 and G1522 hear G3588 G4487 my words! G1473
“I cry out because you hearken, the Elohim recline the your ear me and listen the my words (rhēma).”
David knows that Yahweh listens to him. David also knows that he will one day be king. He knows that there will be a Messiah from his line. David also knows that he has plenty of enemies.
Psalm 17:7 G2298.1 Show the wonder G3588 G1656 of your mercies! G1473 G3588 O G4982 one delivering G3588 the G1679 ones hoping G1909 upon G1473 you, G1537 from G3588 the ones G436 opposing G3588 at G1188 your right. G1473
“Marvelous the your compassion the rescue the hoping on you from out of the standing against the your right hand.”
How marvelous is Yahweh’s compassion that he rescues those who hope on Him away from those who oppose Yahweh. The antichrists cannot win here. Yahweh rescues His own. The disbelievers can stand against Yahweh all they want, but Yahweh delivers his people from them. This is important to think about because the antichrists are taking more liberties in attacking Christians. What we have to remember is to submit to Yahweh like David did. Yahweh then protects us.
Psalm 17:8 G5442 Guard G1473 me, G2962 O lord, G5613 as G2880.1 the pupil G3788 of the eye! G1722 Under G4629.2 the protection G3588 G4420 of your wings G1473 G4628.1 shelter G1473 me!
“Watch and ward me Yahweh like as daughter eye in roof the your wings covers me…”
The word κόρην or κόρη translates “daughter”. It is the idea of how special a daughter is in the eye of her father, so much so that the father protects, shelters and covers over her. David asks Yahweh to be his watcher and ward like a daughter in Yahweh’s eye. Somehow we think daughters or women are looked down upon by the Elohim, but that is not the case. Daughters are precious and Yahweh protects them. Woman came out of man and are the ones to call on from the Elohim when man needs help. The next verse is part of this sentence.
Psalm 17:9 G575 even from G4383 the face G765 of the impious G3588 G5003 ones causing misery G1473 for me. G3588 G2190 My enemies G1473 G3588 G5590 [2my soul G1473 G4023 1compass].
“…away from face ungodly the harassing me the my hateful the surrounding my soul.”
David is asking to be sheltered and covered like a daughter away from the face of the ungodly who harass him and are hateful, who surround his very breath life. We can imagine how David felt. If we do not rise against this same harassment today then we will be surrounded tomorrow. The fact that in our time, the ones holding the microphones, are the ones attacking Christians, means that we have to be louder and prayed up. If antichrists can shut us up and make us hide in a corner then we will be surrounded. But Yahweh is our rescue. Now David says something funny.
Psalm 17:10 G3588 G4720.1 [2in their own fat G1473 G4788 1They are enclosed]; G3588 G4750 their mouth G1473 G2980 speaks G5243 pride.
“The shut in their own stear (stiff fat or tallow) the their mouth speaks arrogance.”
David’s observation here is that these people are obese because they are shut in, or confined, or enclosed, in their own fat. What does he mean? David was a warrior, he was fit, muscular, had great endurance, and very healthy. Yahweh’s antichrists are lazy, with fat covered bodies that confine them, no physical capabilities for war, and are unhealthy. These antichrists and disbelievers speak arrogance and pride. They are the type of people who fly in private planes all over the globe and condemn the masses for driving a car to work. They are the type of people who force the taxpayers to pay for private security for themselves but condemn the masses for owning personal protection. They are the type of people who nobly send young people off to wars to fight a cause that only benefits them. They are lazy, fat, sloppy, people, who hate the Elohim and anyone who submits to the Elohim. They are undisciplined, with bad morals and big egos. David is using the idea of stiff fat to make the point that they are gross evil people who think that they are god. We could think of Jabba the Hut here.
The Law of Moses tells us a gluttonous son or someone who consumes a lot of food and wine was to be stoned. When we look at this through our own age we misunderstand this. It is not about how many Twinkie’s someone eats, it is about being lazy and not working for your food. Instead of having a good work ethic the glutton eats and drinks without working, and does so at the expense of others. How much food was available for people to eat during the exodus? They only had manna and quails, but were not allowed to store up food for the next day unless it was the sabbath. The Pharisees called Jesus a glutton because he ate and drank wine and not locusts and honey like John. It did not seem like Jesus worked for his food but he did. Jesus was “sponsored” by the kings of the east, the Magi. They brought him gold, frankincense, and myrrh, which he used for himself and his twelve disciples during his time on the earth. And Jesus was hardly lazy, but the point here is that David is attributing the inactive lazy lifestyle of his enemies to why they are evil. Being an Elohim rejecter and thinking that they were their own god made them try to control others. The lazy gluttonous people of David’s time elevated themselves over others and did not acknowledge God. Obviously stoning was out of vogue by this time period. They may have had wealth but they were arrogant.
Psalm 17:11 G1544 They are casting me out G1473 G3568 now; G4033 they surrounded G1473 me; G3588 G3788 their eyes G1473 G5087 set G1578 to turn me G1722 to G3588 the G1093 ground.
“Throw me now encircle around me the their eyes lay down, turn away in the earth.”
David wants to be thrown or cast out of their presence as they are encircling him. Their eyes shun David and they look down at the ground.
Psalm 17:12 G5274 [6they undertook G1473 7me G5616 1As G3023 2a lion G2092 3prepared G1519 4for G2339 5a hunt], G2532 and G5616 as G4661.1 a cub G3611 living G1722 in G614 concealment.
“Take me up as if lion ready into hunting and as if cub dwell in secret.
David asks to be “taken up” or ‘received up”. This is a reference to his meeting with Yahweh when Yahweh received him, Psalm 18. The fat antichrists are like lions ready for a hunt, but David wants to be concealed like a cub. When the lions go out to hunt the babies stay hidden so that other predators do not find them. That is what David is asking for.
We have to think of David as having to sleep with one eye opened. This is why he asks to be covered, sheltered, and protected. How could David have ever had any rest? Even if he was at Moses’ tabernacle in Gibeon his enemies knew where he was.
Psalm 17:13 G450 Rise up, G2962 O lord! G4399 Be there beforehand with G1473 them, G2532 and G5286.3 trip G1473 them! G4506 Rescue G3588 G5590 my soul G1473 G575 from G765 the impious G4501 by your broadsword! G1473
“Stand up Yahweh anticipate them and trip them rescue the my soul away from ungodly sword.”
David wants Yahweh to stand and stick out his foot, causing his enemies to fall down. David wants Yahweh to anticipate their moves. David asks to be rescued from the ungodly sword, which tells us that ungodly people wanted to kill him. Why do ungodly people want to kill godly people? So that the ungodly can be god. As long as there are godly people around everyone knows that they are not god.
Psalm 17:14 G575 From G2190 the enemies G3588 G5495 by your hand, G1473 G2962 O lord; G575 from G3641 the few G575 of G1093 the earth; G1266 divide them G1473 G1722 in G3588 G2222 their life. G1473 G2532 And G3588 G2928 of your things being hidden G1473 G4130 [2was filled G3588 G1064 1their belly]; G1473 G5526 they were filled G5207 of sons, G2532 and G863 [3they leave G3588 1the G2645 2remnants] G3588 to G3516 their infants. G1473
“From hateful the your hand Yahweh away from a little away from earth. Partition them thoroughly in the their life, and the conceal them. Their stomach the full they gorged sons and the remainder send forth the their infants.”
David is asking to take the hateful evil disbelievers off the earth. David says to divide or partition them in their life and hide them. These antichrists eat well, they fill their own stomachs, then fill their sons, and then give the rest to their infants. This tells us that David is recognizing a generational evil. These disbelievers are fat and gluttonous, and they pass this behavior down to their children. It is interesting that David talks about their weight, as if these antichrists are proud of their prosperity, excess, and fat, and will teach their evil behaviors to their children. The king, David, should have been living an opulent life, but he wasn’t; he was warring for the nation of Israel. David’s fat enemies only cared about themselves.
Psalm 17:15 G1473 But I G1161 G1722 [4in G1343 5righteousness G3708 1shall appear G3588 G4383 2in front G1473 3of you]. G5526 I shall be filled G1722 in G3588 G3708 [3appearing G1473 4to me G3588 G1391 1your glory]. G1473
“But I look upon the your face in righteousness, gorge in the your glory, look upon me.”
David looks upon the face of Yahweh because he is righteous. The antichrists do not look upon Yahweh’s face, ever. David gorges in His glory. He then says “look upon me” which is a bold statement. Yet David has no fear because he is righteous. The disbelievers will never experience His glory, yet David is getting fat on the glory of Yahweh.
This would be a great diet program, gorging on the glory of Yahweh instead of foods. David was sustained by Yahwehs glory which means that we too can be sustained by Yahwehs glory.
David’s prayer is insightful as to how the antichrists will behave throughout all the ages. David’s prayer is for us to understand how to call on Yahweh. David also wrote a song to teach us some things.
Psalms 20:0 G1519 To G3588 the G5056 director; G5568 a psalm G3588 to G* David.
“Into the fulfillment, song the David.”
This song is something that is practical for our age all the way through to the end of the age.
Psalms 20:1 G1873 Let [2heed G1473 3you G2962 1 the lord] G1722 in G2250 the day G2347 of affliction! G5231.3 Let [6shield G1473 7you G3588 1the G3686 2name G3588 3of the G2316 4God G* 5of Jacob].
“You obey Yahweh in day pressure, the name the Elohim of Jacob you are defending.”
David is telling us that we are to obey Yahweh in the day of pressure. We all live in a day of pressure. We have to pay close attention to this song because David is writing this for others to learn from. We are defending the name of the Elohim of Jacob, and Yahweh will always defend those who defend Him.
Psalms 20:2 G1821 May he send G1473 to you G996 help G1537 from G39 the holy place, G2532 and G1537 from G* Zion G482 may he assist G1473 you.
“You send away forth aid from out of holy and from out of Zion take hold of you in turn.”
Yahweh sends aid to whoever needs it from the holy place. Yahweh will take hold of “you” out of Zion.
Psalms 20:3 G3403 May [4be remembered G3956 1every G2378 2sacrifice G1473 3of yours], G2532 and G3588 G3646 [2your whole burnt-offering G1473 G4084.1 1let him fatten]!
“ Recall all your offerings and the your whole burnt offering, chant.”
Remember all the offerings, remember the songs. What offering do we provide in our day? Our heart.
Psalms 20:4 G1325 May [2give G1473 3to you G2962 1 the lord] G2596 according to G3588 G2588 your heart, G1473 G2532 and G3956 [2all G3588 G1012 3your plans G1473 G4137 1fulfill].
“You offer Yahweh downward the your heart and complete all your purpose.”
You make an offering to Yahweh. You give Yahweh downward from heaven to earth your heart. You complete all your purpose. You do it. Yahweh is helping but you are the doer.
Pslam 20:5 G21 We will exult G1909 over G3588 G4992 your deliverance; G1473 G2532 and G1722 in G3686 the name G2962 of the lord G2316 our God G1473 G3170 we will be magnified. G4137 May the lord fill G2962 G3956 all G3588 G155 your requests. G1473
“Jump for joy on the your salvation and in name Yahweh our Elohim declare great. Yahweh fulfill all the your requests.”
You jump for joy over your salvation. You jump for joy in the name of Yahweh Elohim and declare Him great. Then Yahweh will fulfill your requests. Get it? Sing, dance, be the heart sacrifice, do whatever your purpose is in life, and Yahweh will fulfill your requests.
Pslam 20:6 G3568 Now G1097 I knew G3754 that G4982 the lord delivered G2962 G3588 G5547 his anointed one; G1473 G1873 he shall heed G1473 him G1537 from out of G3772 [2heaven G39 1his holy]. G1473 G1722 By G1412.1 dominations G3588 is the G4991 deliverance G3588 G1188 of his right hand. G1473
“Now at this very time I come to know that Yahweh save the his Messiah. Obey him from out of his holy heaven. In dynasties the salvation his right hand.”
David wants us all to know that Yahweh will deliver His Messiah. That is important for the people of that age to know as they are anticipating his coming. Interestingly the people of our age know that Jesus was delivered, as he rose up on the third day. Everyone’s heard about it, but not everyone chooses to believe it. David then says to obey him from out of his Holy Heaven. David told us to obey Yahweh in the day of pressure, now he says obey the Messiah from heaven. Where is Jesus now? He rose up to heaven. Then David says in dynasties or through lineage is the salvation of his right hand. David doesn’t mean that only certain family lines will be saved. He means dynasties pass down the information of Jesus being crucified and rising up on the third day. The dynasties are people from the house of God, who are children of the most High God. We bring the message of salvation to the world from age to age.
Psalm 20:7 G3778 These G1722 in G716 chariots, G2532 and G3778 these G1722 in G2462 horses -- G1473 but we G1161 G1722 [2in G3686 3 the name G2962 4 of the lord G2316 5our God G1473 G1941 1shall call].
“These in chariots and these in horses but we in name Yahweh our Elohim invoke (or magnify LXX-WH).”
The word μεγαλυνθησομεθα literally means “we grow up” but it is understood that we grow, or magnify, or enlarge the name of Yahweh Elohim. So while some people trust in the military, we invoke and enlarge the name of Yahweh Elohim.
It seems that in our time the fat antichrists are trusting in the military. They trust in their ability to convince people to fight for them. They then use these forces to do what the antichrists want while the antichrists never get their own hands dirty.
Psalm 20:8 G1473 They G4846.1 are bound hand and foot, G2532 and G4098 they fall; G1473 but we G1161 G450 rose up G2532 and G461 were re-erected.
“They were hindered and fall down but we stand up and straighten up.”
The people trusting in the military were hindered and fell down, but we who are invoking and enlarging the name of Yahweh Elohim stand strong and tall.
Psalm 20:9 G2962 O lord, G4982 preserve G3588 the G935 king, G2532 and G1873 heed G1473 us G1722 in G3739 what G302 ever G2250 day G1941 we should call upon G1473 you!
“Yahweh save the king and listen us in that day invoke you.”
David sings Yahweh save the king. He also sings to Yahweh to listen to Yahweh’s people who invoke Him and enlarge Him. It does not matter what the antichrists do. It does not matter what the antichrists say. What does matter is that we are to magnify Yahweh Elohim all the time. We call on him always. We do not put our hope in the military. Instead we jump for joy. This is the best practice for the believer.
While we can stay sheltered in Yahweh we understand that there is a battle outside. A new study tells us that democrat Christians are leaving the church. If the majority of the party are antichrists then the party has become a religion not a political advocacy group. If a political party is premised upon rejection of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, then the people who follow this group are indoctrinated against Christ. There are no humans who have the power to create a planet and its inhabitants. Therefore those who want to “play god” are only rearranging what the Creator has already created. If someone thinks that they are “god”, in the sense of almighty supreme leader, that one constantly manipulates others to make them believe that lie. Like the global money meetings, these fat people push an antichrist agenda. Politics aside, we do know that we have enemies, spiritual enemies all around us. We can use David’s prayer and song applied to our lives to fight back. Jump for joy and magnify His name because our salvation is here.
