Quote Of The Day:
Torah
Rediscovered – Berkowitz p.26
“Because the
Torah tells us the truth, the difference between clean and unclean, life and
death, it is both a protection for us and a written revelation of the grace of
God”
Deborah’s Drash Commentary:
Gleanings From Psalm 119
Vs. 89 Forever, O Lord Your word is
settled in heaven (stands firm as the heavens)
Dakes Notes[2]
–Settled - Stands fast without change,
as the plan of God for man is declared to be
2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built
up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
Psalms 89:2 (KJV)
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation
shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but
my words shall not pass away.
Matt 24:34-35 (KJV)
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but
my words shall not pass away.
Mark 13:31 (KJV)
23 Being born again, not of corruptible
seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for
ever.
24 For all flesh is as grass, and
all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the
flower thereof falleth away:
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for
ever. And this is the
word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
1 Peter 1:23-25 (KJV)
His Word is forever settled (seated in Heaven) so
we can have confidence and hope as we stand on His promises that if God said it
then we can be sure that it will come to pass.
Vs. 90 Your faithfulness is from generation to generation; You have
established the earth, and it stands fast.
Dakes Notes – The faithfulness of God is also
eternal, unto all generations. His Word
is eternal and His promise sure.
He is faithful to watch over His Word to perform
it, His promises will never fail. His Word is our hope and meditating on them
will give us the faith we need to prevail in this life.
The Messiah is
Proclaimed (Yeshua Ha Mashiach) and He will rule the earth according to His
Word
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a
son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall
be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The
Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government
and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his
kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from
henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 9:6-7 (KJV)
44 And in the days of these kings shall
the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed:
and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in
pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone
was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the
iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made
known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is
certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
Dan 2:44-45 (KJV)
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold,
one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the
Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14 And there was given him dominion, and
glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve
him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass
away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Dan 7:13-14 (KJV)
We shall Rule and Reign
with Messiah/Christ according to His Word forever.
18 But the saints of the most High shall
take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
Dan 7:18 (KJV)
Messiah/Christ will
reign forever and ever according to His Word
32 He shall be great, and shall be called
the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his
father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of
Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Luke 1:32-33 (KJV)
15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there
were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the
kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and
ever.
Rev 11:15 (KJV)
The Tabernacle of God
will be with us and we will be with Him forever and ever according to His Word.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven
saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell
with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and
be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words
are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is
athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all
things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Rev 21:3-7 (KJV)
We shall
see Him face to face according to His Word.
4 And they shall see his face; and his
name shall be in their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night there; and
they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them
light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
Rev 22:4-5 (KJV)
Vs 91 All (the whole universe) are Your servants; therefore they continue
the day according to Your ordinances.
Dakes comments – God’s ordinances include the
regulation of the heavens and the earth and all things therein according to
fixed laws that are eternal. Billions
of suns, moons and stars go in their own orbits and regulates life on the many
planets in space, according to fixed and eternal laws. Each star is a sun to another planet like
our sun is to our planet earth.
Wherever there is life, it is sustained by the ordinances of God
established according to His eternal plan for each planet and the particular
needs of life thereon. Without the sun,
moon and stars regulating day and night, and times and seasons, life on the
planet earth would soon become extinct”
Not only intelligent life on earth and life in the
heavens are God’s servants, but the material creations themselves are His
servants to sustain life on the various planets.
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord
unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the
knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according
to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which
hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his
blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that
are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be
thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by
him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him
all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the
church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things
he might have the preeminence.
Col 1:10-18 (KJV)
35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are
reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven,
and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or
say unto him, What doest thou?
Dan 4:35 (KJV)
He is the creator of ALL according to His
Torah/Word.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for
signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the
firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the
greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he
made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the
heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the
night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was
good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the
fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth
abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly
above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every
living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after
their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was
good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply
in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the
fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth
the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of
the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth
after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon
the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and
over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own
image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto
them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and
have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over
every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Gen 1:14-28 (KJV)
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and
harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not
cease.
Gen 8:22 (KJV)
Vs 92 Unless Your law had been my delight, I would have perished in
my affliction
Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. It was by meditating in the Word that faith
to appropriate God’s blessings was generated to save the psalmist from his
troubles. The same holds true for us,
we must meditate on His Word, confess it and do it and appropriate His
blessings. His Word has the power to
save, heal and deliver us from all of our problems. (We will study faith in depth later)
17 So then faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:17 (KJV)
