The Lord governs the sea and the land for the blessing of his people. |

1 WHEN Israel went out of
aEgypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange
language;
2 Judah was his sanctuarya, and Israel his dominion. |
2a Judah was his sanctuary
What exactly is meant by the inclusion of this phrase at this point in
comparison to the great event of the deliverance out of Egypt and the
powerful manifestations in the desert by the hand of Moses is not clear.
Moses was of the tribe of Levi and the Levitical Priesthood evolved upon that tribe of Israel to administer in the sactuary of the tabernacle and temple of the Lord. Judah in that respect would be an usurption to what is NOT Judah's. Further Moses who held the higher priesthood authority and whose successor was Joshua of the tribe of Ephraim, was himself as indicated and implied by the prophecies of Joseph in the JST as the Lord spake to Joseph concerning the various branches of the seed of Joseph's house.(JST Gensis 50:29 & 34), stating that Moses was raised as the son of the daughter of Pharoah, in the house of Pharoah, as the son of Pharoah who is indicated to be a branch of the house of Joseph. Further when Joshua first established the Lord's portable sanctuary in the land of Israel it was NOT established in Judah. Even Jerusalem where David eventually had it removed to, was but the land which was given to the tribe of Benjamin of the 'house of Rachel' and not of the house of Leah and Judah. Only when King David returned to accept Judah who had rebelled against him to over throw him, like a dog to his vomit, David selects Judah over Israel of Ephraim even though Israel, that is Ephraim, had the greater claim in David. David himself was the son of the properly proclaimed Ephrathite Jesse, the son of Obed who was raised up to the dead, that is the house of Mahlon and Elimelech, the Ephrathite family in who the covenant of the Firstborn was preserved. Boaz merely acted as the vicarious surrogate parent according to the Law of God as explained in the Law of Moses as found in Deuteronomy 25:5-10 and as dually explained by Boaz himself in Ruth 4:5 & 10. Even the citizens of the city of the tomb of Rachel (which by the way was also first given to the tribe of Benjamin of the house of Rachel), so recognized and stated that Obed was the rightful heir and son of Naomi and the house of Elimelech and Mahlon, not of Boaz. Only in the fact of Boaz' surrogate parentage and the Jewish occupation of Jerusalem and the temple sactuary erected to the Lord there is there an association between the Lord and his sanctuary in Judah. And this is the time when only the nation of the Jews was the one wicked enough to betray and crucify the Lord Jehoshua Messiah, the Son of David, the Son of Joseph, the son of Jacob, the son of Abraham (See Messiah ben David ~ Messiah ben Joseph). In the record of the Jews, Judah usurps to be the rightful heir of Jacob by first plotting to murder Joseph and then when Reuben interviens, in Reuben's absense contrives to sell Joseph into slavery in Egypt. It is the record of the Jews which usurps to the ancestry of the house of David over the lawful and legal right of the house of Mahlon and Elimelech to whom Obed was raised by adding their emphasis to the ancestry of Boaz the Jew over that of the true Lawful parentage of the house of Ephraim. It is the Jews who slander the Messiah as being in truth a Samaritan of the linage of Joseph and Ephraim of the allien mixtures of marriages throughout the house of David. It is the Jews who like the ill-mother of the fated child before Solomon who called for the child's death in their crucifixion of the Lord. It is Judah who did reject both the living and the resurrected Messiah though the signs of his power and authority were undeniable. And it is Judah who still pretends to lay claim to the yet coming Messiah of the Second Coming? Thus the Psalm's statement that 'Judah was his sanctuary' is somewhat of an enigma other than the fact that it was in the land of the Jews, in the land of Judah at the site of Gethsemane that the Lord performed his atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world. In that sense and perhaps in that sense alone is 'Judah' the place of the Sanctuary of the Lord. Even the fact that the temple of the Lord was at the city of Jerusalem is a concept barrowed by usurption on the part of the Jews, for the concept of Jerusalem was given before the world was and is mentioned in the Celestial Judgment Council between Lucifer and Jehovah as seen in vision by Zechariah (See Commentary Zechariah 3). There Jerusalem is the Holy City of the People of the Lord, which Melchizedek and his people once became and as the Millennial people of the Lord will also again become during the reign of the Messiah upon earth in his glory. Thus a beter preserved rendition would be the 'Jerusalem is his sanctuary' if speaking of the glory of the Lord. To which the original author had allusion, either the sacrifical relationship of Judah's crucifixion of the Lord and his atonement in Gethsemane or as an allusion to the city of the Lord in Jerusalem is yet to be seen when the original is restored from which the Jewish made Psalm is derived. |

3 The sea saw it, and afled:
Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. 5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? 6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? |

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of awaters. |
