CHAPTER 83
God is importuned to confound the enemies of his people—Jehovah is the Most High over all the earth.

1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. |
||
| 4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrancea. | 4a that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance There is an irony here. The Jews or the Kingdom of Judah has done in such as Psalm 78, what they are now rightly accusing other nations as doing. In Psalm 78, the Jewish perspective basically replaced Ephraim/Joseph, the Kingdom of Israel, with Judah. Thus the Jews are guilty of having removed the name of Israel from its rightful heir, Ephraim in Joseph, and making that a forgotten thing to be no more remembered in Israel. This they also did to the legal and rightful linage of the House of David, in that Boaz was merely acting as the surrogate parent of Obed in behalf of Mahlon, the first husband of Ruth, to raise up seed to the dead, that that house of Ephraim be not forgotten in Israel (Deuteronomy 25:5-10, Ruth 4:5 & 10 ~ also see: Messiah ben David ~ Messiah ben Joseph). So what they had done unto Ephraim, the true Israel, they are attributing to Edom, and the Ishmaelites, and Moab, and the Hagarenes, etc. | |
|
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. |
||
|
9 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 Which perished at En-dor: they became as dung for the earth. 11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: 12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. |
||
|
13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; 15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. |
||
|
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: 18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAHa, art the most high over all the earth. |
18a whose name alone is JEHOVAH All statements which may seem to be absolute need be considered within that context in which they are stated or so implied. That is, in terms of this temporal creation, and those who do pertain there unto—that is all the spirit children of God the Father of Spirits beginning with his Firstborn son—does this statement so apply unto. It does not preclude the possiblitity or fact that the name JEHOVAH was named upon that Firstborn Son, given after the name of his Father and Our Fahter of Spirits who does not so pertain unto this temporal mortal creation. It may well be found out and established that the name JEHOVAH may indeed be shared by the Father of Spirits and His Firstborn Son, JEHOVAH, so being named after the Father within the greater context of eternity which is beyond the limited context of this temporal creation. Thus the only conclusion which ought to be made is that of all of God the Father of Spirits children, only unto His Firstborn, may the name of God, that is JEHOVAH, be rightfully given. This precludes that any other, including more specifically Lucifer or any other pretender, may not presume or assume the name of JEHOVAH upon themselves. It is exclusively the name and property of the Firstborn Son of God the Father of Spirits and none else of all his children may lay any such clain unto it. It also intales that only in and through the NAME of JEHOVAH is Salvation to be found and in none other. | |
