Psalm 94, the Judge of all!

Psa 94:1-2, O LORD GOD, TO WHOM VENGEANCE BELONGS—O God, TO WHOM VENGEANCE BELONGS, SHINE FORTH! RISE UP, O JUDGE OF THE EARTH; RENDER PUNISHMENT TO THE PROUD.

Even though we long for vengeance against a wrong done to us, vengeance does not belong to man it is HIS and HE will repay the wicked!

Deu 32:35, VENGEANCE IS MINE, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them.’ 

Psa 94:6-7, They slay the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless. Yet they say, “THE LORD DOES NOT SEE, NOR DOES THE GOD OF JACOB UNDERSTAND.”

Many believe, in ignorance, that the LORD doesn’t exist or that HE doesn’t see anything! YET nothing is hidden to HIM!

Pro 15:3, The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good.

Jer 23:24, Can anyone hide himself in secret places, So I shall not see him?” says the LORD; “DO I NOT FILL HEAVEN AND EARTH?” SAYS THE LORD. 

Psa 94:8-9, Understand, you senseless among the people; And you FOOLS, when will you be wise? HE WHO PLANTED THE EAR, SHALL HE NOT HEAR? HE WHO FORMED THE EYE, SHALL HE NOT SEE?

HE who created the eye and the ear can see, and hear all things! Don’t be foolish! HE shall render justice as the just judge!

Psa 9:7-8, But the LORD shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment. He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

Psa 94:11-12, THE LORD KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF MAN, THAT THEY ARE FUTILE. BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOM YOU INSTRUCT, O LORD, AND TEACH OUT OF YOUR LAW,

Most may never truly understand until they stand face to face with the JUDGE of heaven and earth! HIS word teaches wisdom to those willing to hear, and knowledge to those who humble themselves before HIM!

Dan 12:10, Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. 

Time is short for HE is near, chose wisely!

Psalm 82, Judges of men beware!

Psa 82:1, ….GOD stands in the congregation of THE MIGHTY; HE JUDGES AMONG THE GODS.

The word GODS here is directed towards the mighty men of the land! The judges! The LORD will judge unjust judges even though they think of themselves as gods!

 Psa 82:2, How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked? Selah 

This is one of the reasons that Israel fell and their temple was destroyed!

Mic 3:11-12, Her heads JUDGE FOR A BRIBE, HER PRIESTS TEACH FOR PAY, And her PROPHETS DIVINE FOR MONEY. Yet they lean on the LORD, and say, “IS NOT THE LORD AMONG US? NO HARM CAN COME UPON US.” Therefore because of you Zion shall be plowed like a field, Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins, And the mountain of the temple Like the bare hills of the forest.

Psa 82:3-4, Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked.

GOD reminds the judges to defend their people from the wicked! Don’t show partiality, judge rightly! GOD HIMSELF shows no partiality to anyone, whether rich or poor!

Col 3:25, BUT HE WHO DOES WRONG WILL BE REPAID FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE, AND THERE IS NO PARTIALITY.

2Ch 19:6-7, ( Jehoshaphat ) said to the judges, “TAKE HEED TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING, FOR YOU DO NOT JUDGE FOR MAN BUT FOR THE LORD, who is with you in the judgment. Now therefore, let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take care and do it, FOR THERE IS NO INIQUITY WITH THE LORD OUR GOD, NO PARTIALITY, NOR TAKING OF BRIBES.”

Psa 82:6, I said, “You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High.

We are all children of GOD for we bear HIS Image, in this respect are all HIS children! But true children of GOD are those that receive HIM, and believe in HIS name!

Joh 1:12, But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 

Psa 82:7, BUT YOU SHALL DIE LIKE MEN, AND FALL LIKE ONE OF THE PRINCES.”

Beware you judges! You may think of yourselves as gods, untouchable, but you shall die like men!

Psalm 79, Judgement starts at home!

Psa 79:1, …God, the nations have come into Your inheritance; Your holy temple they have defiled; They have laid Jerusalem in heaps. 

Jerusalem was defiled by the Armies of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon! They raided the temple, and took all the sacred items!

Psa 79:2-3, The dead bodies of YOUR SERVANTS—They have given as food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of YOUR SAINTS to the beasts of the earth. THEIR BLOOD THEY HAVE SHED LIKE WATER ALL AROUND JERUSALEM, AND THERE WAS NO ONE TO BURY THEM.

Their unburied bodies turned into food for the birds! The Psalmist is pleading to GOD, “LORD THE BODIES OF YOUR SERVANTS ARE LIKE THE CARCASSES OF AN ANIMALS, UNLOVED! THESE ARE YOUR SAINTS OH LORD”!

Psa 79:5, HOW LONG, LORD? WILL YOU BE ANGRY FOREVER? WILL YOUR JEALOUSY BURN LIKE FIRE? 

The Psalmist doesn’t say “WHY”, but how long! He knows that GOD has allowed this to happen to Israel. BECAUSE OF THE SIN OF ISRAEL GOD HAS GIVEN THEM OVER TO THEIR ENEMIES!

Jer 27:5-6, ‘I HAVE MADE THE EARTH, THE MAN AND THE BEAST that are on the ground, by MY GREAT POWER and by my outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed proper to ME. AND NOW I HAVE GIVEN ALL THESE LANDS INTO THE HAND OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING OF BABYLON, MY SERVANT; …

Psa 79:8-9, Oh, DO NOT REMEMBER FORMER INIQUITIES AGAINST US! Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us, For we have been brought very low. HELP US, O God of our salvation, For the glory of Your name; And deliver us, and PROVIDE ATONEMENT FOR OUR SINS, FOR YOUR NAME’S SAKE!

When we have sinned against the LORD we must confess our sins, We must humble ourselves before HIM (1John 1:9)! Remember, scripture says that “Blessed is the nation whose GOD is the LORD, Psa 33:12″; YET IT DOESN’T MEAN THEY WILL NOT BE JUDGED, FOR HE CORRECTS THOSE WHOM HE LOVES!

Jer 25:29, FOR BEHOLD, I BEGIN TO BRING CALAMITY ON THE CITY WHICH IS CALLED BY MY NAME, AND SHOULD YOU BE UTTERLY UNPUNISHED? YOU SHALL NOT BE UNPUNISHED, for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth,” SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS.’

Psalm 67, Righteous JUDGE!

Psa 67:1, …God be merciful to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us, Selah 

The LORD gave this blessing to Moses in order to teach Aaron and his sons, The High Priests, how to bless the children of Israel!

Num 6:24-26, “The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ‘

Psa 67:2, THAT YOUR WAY MAY BE KNOWN ON EARTH, YOUR SALVATION AMONG ALL NATIONS. 

By readings, and learning from the scriptures we may know HIS way; but, applying what you have learned in scripture to your life is when the true blessing come! NOT JUST KNOWING BUT DOING!

Mat 7:21, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, BUT HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER IN HEAVEN. 

It’s not about us, but it’s all about HIM!

Eph 6:6-7, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, BUT AS BONDSERVANTS OF CHRIST, DOING THE WILL OF GOD FROM THE HEART, WITH GOODWILL DOING SERVICE, AS TO THE LORD, AND NOT TO MEN,

Psa 67:4, Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy! FOR YOU SHALL JUDGE THE PEOPLE RIGHTEOUSLY, AND GOVERN THE NATIONS ON EARTH. SELAH 

Today, our Godless leaders want to pack the court in order to get the results they want! It’s not justice they seek, but corruption!

Lev 19:15, ‘YOU SHALL DO NO INJUSTICE IN JUDGMENT. YOU SHALL NOT BE PARTIAL TO THE POOR, NOR HONOR THE PERSON OF THE MIGHTY. IN RIGHTEOUSNESS YOU SHALL JUDGE YOUR NEIGHBOR. 

BUT soon the LORD shall judge the world in righteousness!

Isa 11:3-4a, … And HE SHALL NOT JUDGE BY THE SIGHT OF HIS EYES, NOR DECIDE BY THE HEARING OF HIS EARS; BUT WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS HE SHALL JUDGE THE POOR, AND DECIDE WITH EQUITY FOR THE MEEK OF THE EARTH;

Righteous judgement is coming where even the thoughts in your mind shall be judged! SEEK HIM AND DO GOOD!

Psalm 50, GOD Speaks!

Psa 50:1, …, THE MIGHTY ONE, GOD THE LORD, HAS SPOKEN and called the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down.

Three names of GOD in the first verse! EL = Mighty GOD, GOD =Elohim, THE LORD = YEH-HO-VAW’! HE SPEAKS OUT OF ZION!

Psa 50:3, Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

THE LORD, GOD HAS COME TO JUDGE THE WORLD OUT OF JERUSALEM!

Psa 50:5-6, “GATHER MY SAINTS TOGETHER TO ME, THOSE WHO HAVE MADE A COVENANT WITH ME BY SACRIFICE.” LET THE HEAVENS DECLARE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, FOR GOD HIMSELF IS JUDGE. SELAH

Judgement starts with HIS saints first (1Peter 4:17)! Believers, who placed their trust in the LORD JESUS, shall be judged according to their works! Their motives shall be tested by fire!  

Psa 50:8,12, I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices Or your burnt offerings, Which are continually before Me…. “If I were hungry, I would not tell you; For the world is Mine, and all its fullness.

THEY OFFERED SACRIFICES AS IF HE WERE HUNGRY FOR FOOD NOT BASED ON A REPENTANT HEART!

Psa 50:16-17, But to the wicked God says: “WHAT RIGHT HAVE YOU TO DECLARE MY STATUTES, OR TAKE MY COVENANT IN YOUR MOUTH, SEEING YOU HATE INSTRUCTION AND CAST MY WORDS BEHIND YOU?

The wicked refers to believers!

Psa 50:18-20, When you saw a thief, you consented with him, And have been a partaker with adulterers. You give your mouth to evil, And your tongue frames deceit. You sit and speak against your brother; …

THIS IS THE WAY OF THE WORLD, YET MANY BELIEVERS ACT THIS WAY! WE THINK BECAUSE HE KEEPS SILENT THAT WERE OK?

Psa 50:21, These things you have done, and I kept silent; YOU THOUGHT THAT I WAS ALTOGETHER LIKE YOU; But I will rebuke you, And set them in order before your eyes. 

HE SEES ALL WE DO, HE ALSO SEES THE MOTIVES OF OUR HEARTS! IS IT BASED ON LOVE FOR HIM OR HONOR FOR OURSELVES? IF WE LOVE HIM, THEN WE MUST DO AS HE INSTRUCTED US TO DO!

Psalm 36, the Evil and the Just!

Psa 36:1-2, … the transgression of the wicked: THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE HIS EYES. FOR HE FLATTERS HIMSELF IN HIS OWN EYES, WHEN HE FINDS OUT HIS INIQUITY AND WHEN HE HATES.

The wicked have no concept of sin, to them it’s just normal life! They lie, steal and cheat, yet in their eyes it’s not wrong as long as they don’t get caught!

Psa 36:3-4, The words of his mouth are WICKEDNESS AND DECEIT; He has ceased to be wise and to do good. HE DEVISES WICKEDNESS ON HIS BED; He sets himself in a way that is not good; He does not abhor evil

BUT THE LORD SEES AND HEARS ALL! ONE DAY, EVEN IDLE WORDS WILL NEED TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR!

Mat 12:36, And I tell you this, YOU MUST GIVE AN ACCOUNT ON JUDGMENT DAY FOR EVERY IDLE WORD YOU SPEAK. 

The day of the LORD comes with wrath against the inhabitants of this world!

Isa 13:11, “I WILL PUNISH THE WORLD FOR ITS EVIL, AND THE WICKED FOR THEIR INIQUITY; I WILL HALT THE ARROGANCE OF THE PROUD, AND WILL LAY LOW THE HAUGHTINESS OF THE TERRIBLE. 

But the righteous who know their GOD say!

Psa 36:7-9, HOW PRECIOUS IS YOUR LOVINGKINDNESS, O GOD! THEREFORE THE CHILDREN OF MEN PUT THEIR TRUST UNDER THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS. THEY ARE ABUNDANTLY SATISFIED WITH THE FULLNESS OF YOUR HOUSE, AND YOU GIVE THEM DRINK FROM THE RIVER OF YOUR PLEASURES. FOR WITH YOU IS THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE; IN YOUR LIGHT WE SEE LIGHT.

It’s just amazing in my eyes how the LORD can love people? We are all wretched and sinful, YET HE shows HIS love for us? Job said,

Job 7:17, “What is man, that You should exalt him, THAT YOU SHOULD SET YOUR HEART ON HIM, 

IT’S NOT ABOUT MAN, IT’S ABOUT THE LORD! FOR HE IS LOVE, HE IS RIGHTEOUS, HE IS JUST! EVIL MEN WILL GET THEIR JUST REWARD, BUT TO THOSE WHO KNOW THEIR GOD HE WILL SPEND ETERNITY IN HIS PRESENCE! HE IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD FOLLOW HIM, SEEK HIM AND PRAISE HIM!

Psalm 32, Being forgiven!

Psa 32:1-2, …BLESSED IS HE WHOSE TRANSGRESSION IS FORGIVEN, WHOSE SIN IS COVERED. BLESSED IS THE MAN TO WHOM THE LORD DOES NOT IMPUTE INIQUITY, AND IN WHOSE SPIRIT THERE IS NO DECEIT.

Mans greatest need, even though many don’t know it, is to be forgiven from their sins! Remember when JESUS healed the Paralytic man!

Luk 5:20, When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN YOU.” 

Did the paralytic man arise? NO, JESUS SAW HIS GREATEST NEED WAS TO BE FORGIVEN NOT MADE WELL!

Luk 5:24, BUT THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT THE SON OF MAN HAS POWER ON EARTH TO FORGIVE SINS”—He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I SAY TO YOU, ARISE, TAKE UP YOUR BED, AND GO TO YOUR HOUSE.” 

Men only see the external and are completely blind to the internal man! Being made well is indeed a true blessing, but without the forgiveness of sin it is hopeless!

Isa 1:18, “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “THOUGH YOUR SINS ARE LIKE SCARLET, THEY SHALL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW; THOUGH THEY ARE RED LIKE CRIMSON, THEY SHALL BE AS WOOL.

Psa 32:5, I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah 

Once forgiven are we then perfect? NO, were still sinners! Don’t try to hide your sins for HE sees all and knows all! Confess them!

1Jn 1:9-10, IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS, HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. IF WE SAY THAT WE HAVE NOT SINNED, WE MAKE HIM A LIAR, AND HIS WORD IS NOT IN US.

I’m a sinner saved by HIS grace, not that I deserve it, but because I took hold of HIS gift!

Psa 32:6, For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You In a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters They shall not come near him.

There is a storm of judgement coming to the earth, don’t be part of that! Seek the LORD now while HE may be found and confess your sins! HE IS ALWAYS LISTENING!

Psalm 7, Depart from evil!

Psa 7:9-10, OH, LET THE WICKEDNESS OF THE WICKED COME TO AN END, BUT ESTABLISH THE JUST; FOR THE RIGHTEOUS GOD TESTS THE HEARTS AND MINDS. MY DEFENSE IS OF GOD, WHO SAVES THE UPRIGHT IN HEART.

As wickedness seems to be increasing, yet THE DAY IS COMING WHEN HE WILL DEAL WITH THEM SEVERELY! HE CAME AS A LAMB, BUT HE RETURNS AS A LION! HE WILL SEPARATE THE WICKED FROM THE RIGHTEOUS!

Mat 25:32, ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE GATHERED BEFORE HIM, and HE will separate them one from another, AS A SHEPHERD DIVIDES HIS SHEEP FROM THE GOATS. 

Psa 7:11, GOD IS A JUST JUDGE, AND GOD IS ANGRY WITH THE WICKED EVERY DAY. 

Some people say that GOD can’t get mad for HE is a GOD of love! True, THE LORD IS LOVE, AND HIS WAYS ARE PERFECT, BUT HE IS JUST AND SHOWS NO FAVORITISM TO ANYONE!

Deu 32:4, HE IS THE ROCK, HIS WORK IS PERFECT; FOR ALL HIS WAYS ARE JUSTICE, A GOD OF TRUTH AND WITHOUT INJUSTICE; RIGHTEOUS AND UPRIGHT IS HE.

Col 3:25, BUT HE WHO DOES WRONG WILL BE REPAID FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE, AND THERE IS NO PARTIALITY. 

Psa 7:14-15, Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood. HE MADE A PIT AND DUG IT OUT, AND HAS FALLEN INTO THE DITCH WHICH HE MADE.

Pro 5:22, HIS OWN INIQUITIES ENTRAP THE WICKED MAN, AND HE IS CAUGHT IN THE CORDS OF HIS SIN. 

Job 20:5, THAT THE TRIUMPHING OF THE WICKED IS SHORT, AND THE JOY OF THE HYPOCRITE IS BUT FOR A MOMENT? 

Evil will rise up but it’s only temporary! SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAYBE FOUND, AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN HIS EYES!

Psa 34:14-15, DEPART FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD; SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT. THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ARE OPEN TO THEIR CRY.

2Chrnicles 34, the coming judgement!

2Ch 34:1-3, Josiah was eight years old when he became king, … And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of his father David; HE DID NOT TURN ASIDE TO THE RIGHT HAND OR TO THE LEFT…. while he was still young, HE BEGAN TO SEEK THE GOD OF HIS FATHER DAVID; and in the twelfth year HE BEGAN TO PURGE JUDAH

A Prophesied coming king by name of Josiah

1Ki 13:2, …Thus says the LORD: ‘BEHOLD, A CHILD, JOSIAH BY NAME, SHALL BE BORN TO THE HOUSE OF DAVID…

Josiah cleansed the land of Judah and Israel from their abominations, Idols, alters, he also burned the wicked priest of Baal! Josiah also repaired the house of the LORD!

2Ch 34:14, Now when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest FOUND THE BOOK OF THE LAW OF THE LORD GIVEN BY MOSES. 

THEY LOST THE BOOK OF THE LAW IN THE HOUSE OF GOD? There are many churches today that teach the wisdom of men rather than the word of GOD! They are motivational speakers who like to tickle your ear and make you feel good, but in reality the word of GOD is lost in those churches!

2Ti 4:3-4, For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

They read the book in front of king Josiah!

2Ch 34:19, Thus it happened, when the king heard the words of the Law, that he tore his clothes. 

For years they lived their lives without the word of GOD, yet when they read it Josiah knew the coming judgement on the land of Israel!  SO MANY PEOPLE TODAY LIVES IN IGNORANCE OF HIS WORD. THEY CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS OR BELIEVERS YET THEY LIVE FOR THEIR OWN PLEASURES; NOT REALIZING JUDGEMENT IS COMING TO THE WORLD, AND IT’S NEAR!

1Co 15:34, AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND DO NOT SIN; FOR SOME DO NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. I SPEAK THIS TO YOUR SHAME.

2Chronicles 12, Judgement starts with us!

2Ch 12:1, Now it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom and HAD STRENGTHENED HIMSELF, THAT HE FORSOOK THE LAW OF THE LORD, AND ALL ISRAEL ALONG WITH HIM. 

As Rehoboam strengthen himself, he grew confident in his preparations, (2Ch 11:11-12)!

1Ki 14:22,24, Now Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked Him to jealousy… And there were also perverted persons in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations…

Rehoboam and the rest of Judah turned their backs to GOD and worshipped idols, the work of men’s hands! 

2Ch 12:2, And it happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, BECAUSE THEY HAD TRANSGRESSED AGAINST THE LORD, 

One may say that the Egyptians were worse than the people of Israel! The difference is that they are not called by HIS name! Judgement must start with HIS people, then the rest!

1Pe 4:17 NLT, For the time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News? 

2Ch 12:6,8, SO THE LEADERS OF ISRAEL AND THE KING HUMBLED THEMSELVES…. Nevertheless, they will be his servants, THAT THEY MAY DISTINGUISH MY SERVICE FROM THE SERVICE OF THE KINGDOMS OF THE NATIONS.” 

THE LORD WILL ALLOW YOU TO LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES WHEN YOU FALL INTO SIN! FOR YOU SHALL REAP WHAT YOU HAVE SOWN, BUT HIS EARS ARE ALWAYS OPENNED FOR YOUR REPENTANCE!

Psa 34:4, I SOUGHT THE LORD, AND HE HEARD ME, AND DELIVERED ME FROM ALL MY FEARS.
