Isaiah 2, Judgement before HIS glorious appearing!

Isa 2:2, Now it shall come to pass IN THE LATTER DAYS THAT THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD’S HOUSE SHALL BE ESTABLISHED ON THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS, AND SHALL BE EXALTED ABOVE THE HILLS; AND ALL NATIONS SHALL FLOW TO IT. 

Isaiah has a vision of the future temple, in the kingdom age, after the tribulation when JESUS shall be crowned KING of all the earth!

Zec 14:9, AND THE LORD SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH….

Isa 2:3, Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

HE shall rule the whole earth in righteousness, and many out of fear shall go to Jerusalem to go before the KING!

Zec 8:22-23, Yes, MANY PEOPLES AND STRONG NATIONS Shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, And to pray before the LORD.’ “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘IN THOSE DAYS TEN MEN FROM EVERY LANGUAGE OF THE NATIONS SHALL GRASP THE SLEEVE OF A JEWISH MAN, SAYING, “LET US GO WITH YOU, FOR WE HAVE HEARD THAT GOD IS WITH YOU.” ‘ “

But before this day, comes judgement; THE DAY OF THE LORD! FOR THE WHOLE EARTH HAS CORRUPTED ITSELF AGAINST THE LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY!

Isa 2:18-19, But the idols He shall utterly abolish. THEY SHALL GO INTO THE HOLES OF THE ROCKS, AND INTO THE CAVES OF THE EARTH, FROM THE TERROR OF THE LORD AND THE GLORY OF HIS MAJESTY, When He arises to shake the earth mightily.

Rev 6:16-17, and said to the mountains and rocks, “FALL ON US AND HIDE US FROM THE FACE OF HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE AND FROM THE WRATH OF THE LAMB! FOR THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH HAS COME, AND WHO IS ABLE TO STAND?”

Judgement will come first, then the glorious appearing of our Great GOD and Savior JESUS shall appear! All eyes shall see HIM!

Mat 24:30, THEN THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN WILL APPEAR IN HEAVEN, AND THEN ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH WILL MOURN, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS of heaven with power and great glory.

WE NEED TO PREPARE OURSELVES FOR THE TIME IS ALMOST UPON US! WE SHALL SEE HIM FACE TO FACE! COME LORD JESUS COME!

Psalm 138, Not ashamed of HIM!

Psa 138:1, I WILL PRAISE YOU WITH MY WHOLE HEART; BEFORE THE gods I WILL SING PRAISES TO YOU.

This is what separated king David from others; he wasn’t ashamed of showing his love for GOD! In front of great men, so called gods, judges, dignitaries, kings it didn’t matter to him; what mattered was the LORD!

Psa 119:46, I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, And will not be ashamed. 

2Sa 6:16, Now as the ark of the LORD came into the City of David, Michal, SAUL’S DAUGHTER, LOOKED THROUGH A WINDOW AND SAW KING DAVID LEAPING AND WHIRLING BEFORE THE LORD; AND SHE DESPISED HIM IN HER HEART. 

Does it really matter what other people think of you and your faith in HIM? Let them criticize they do it anyway! Remember what Paul said!

Rom 1:16, FOR I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, FOR IT IS THE POWER OF GOD TO SALVATION FOR EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES…

Psa 138:2, I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; FOR YOU HAVE MAGNIFIED YOUR WORD ABOVE ALL YOUR NAME. 

HE has a name above all names, yet HE honors HIS promises more than his name! HE IS FAITHFUL AND HIS WORDS ARE TRUE!

Num 23:19, “GOD IS NOT A MAN, THAT HE SHOULD LIE, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. HAS HE SAID, AND WILL HE NOT DO? OR HAS HE SPOKEN, AND WILL HE NOT MAKE IT GOOD? 

This is why we should know HIS word, HIS promises. IF HE HAS SPOKEN IT, THEN IT WILL BE DONE.

Luk 21:33, HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL PASS AWAY, BUT MY WORDS WILL BY NO MEANS PASS AWAY. 

Psa 138:4-5, All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O LORD, WHEN THEY HEAR THE WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH. Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, For great is the glory of the LORD.

HE is coming back to reign as the KING of all the earth! Every eye shall see HIM and every ear shall hear for HE shall reign in righteousness and justice! GET READY!

Zec 14:9, AND THE LORD SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH….

Psalm 136, For HIS mercy endures forever!

Psa 136:1a, OH, GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD!

This is a statement of fact; HE is and HE does good! GOD is love, and HE loves us!

1Jn 4:16, AND WE HAVE KNOWN AND BELIEVED THE LOVE THAT GOD HAS FOR US. GOD IS LOVE, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. 

Psa 136:1b, … FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER. 

This phrase is repeated 26 times in this psalm, one for every verse! GOD is good and rich in mercy clearly seen in the work of HIS SON; for JESUS suffered on the cross for our sins!

Eph 2:4-5, BUT GOD, WHO IS RICH IN MERCY, BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT LOVE WITH WHICH HE LOVED US, even when we were dead in trespasses, MADE US ALIVE TOGETHER WITH CHRIST (by grace you have been saved),

Psa 136:2-3, Oh, give thanks TO THE GOD OF gods! …. Oh, give thanks TO THE LORD OF lords! FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER:

This is HIS title, HE IS THE GOD OF gods, LORD OF lords, KING OF kings!

Rev 19:16, And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. 

Deu 10:17, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD is God of gods AND LORD of lords, THE GREAT GOD, MIGHTY AND AWESOME, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. 

And the day is coming, and almost here that HE will be the KING OF ALL THE EARTH!

Zec 14:9, AND THE LORD SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH…

Psa 136:26, OH, GIVE THANKS TO THE GOD OF HEAVEN! FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER. 

In everything we should always give thanks to HIM for HE is good and HIS mercies will endure forever, and ever! TURN BACK TO THE LORD FOR HE IS NEAR, TURN BACK TO THE LORD FOR HE LOVES YOU, AND IS WAITING FOR YOU!

Joe 2:12-13, “Now, therefore,” says the LORD, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm.

Psalm 134, HE is worthy!

Psa 134:1, Behold, BLESS THE LORD, ALL YOU SERVANTS OF THE LORD, Who by night stand in the house of the LORD! 

Being a servant of the LORD is the greatest honor one can achieve! We’re not serving a man; we are serving the CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH! EVEN THE LORD JESUS GAVE US THIS EXAMPLE WHEN HE CAME TO EARTH!

Mar 10:45, FOR EVEN THE SON OF MAN DID NOT COME TO BE SERVED, BUT TO SERVE, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE A RANSOM FOR MANY.”

HE is worthy to be praised, HE is worthy to be lifted up on earth just like his servants praise HIM in heaven!

Neh 9:6, YOU alone are the LORD; YOU have made heaven, The heaven of heavens, with all their host, The earth and everything on it, The seas and all that is in them, And YOU preserve them all. THE HOST OF HEAVEN WORSHIPS YOU. 

Psa 134:2, LIFT UP YOUR HANDS IN THE SANCTUARY, AND BLESS THE LORD. 

Bless the LORD in praise, bless the LORD with a joyful heart! Remember HE has blessed you! HIS blessings are all around us, but most don’t realize it! The air you breath, the warmth of the sun, the food you eat, your work, the family that HE has provided for you… These are all blessings from the LORD and many, many more! Everything we have it’s because of HIM!

Jas 1:17, EVERY GOOD GIFT AND EVERY PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE, AND COMES DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF LIGHTS, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 

Psa 134:3, THE LORD WHO MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH BLESS YOU FROM ZION! 

The LORD has already blessed us with so many things, but HE will bless those, even more, that place their trust in HIM!

Jer 17:7, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. 

Heb 11:6, BUT WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM, FOR HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM.

Seek the LORD for HE is near and is a rewarder to those that do! IF HE HAS BLESS YOU, GIVE HIM THANKS TODAY, TOMORROW AND FOREVER! HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRIASED!

Psalm 126, nothing to hard for HIM!

Psa 126:1, WHEN THE LORD BROUGHT BACK THE CAPTIVITY OF ZION, WE WERE LIKE THOSE WHO DREAM. 

There are things which in our mind seem impossible for it to happen, Yet nothing is impossible for GOD!

Jer 32:27, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?

Even though JESUS told them beforehand, (MATT 16:21), They didn’t believe the testimony of the ladies who saw the empty tomb! We saw HIM die; these are just tales!

Luk 24:10-11, It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, WHO TOLD THESE THINGS TO THE APOSTLES. AND THEIR WORDS SEEMED TO THEM LIKE IDLE TALES, AND THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THEM.

Israel was a scattered people for almost 2000 years, yet in 1948 they were reborn! Only GOD can do such things!

Luk 18:27, But He said, “THE THINGS WHICH ARE IMPOSSIBLE WITH MEN ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD.” 

Psa 126:2, THEN OUR MOUTH WAS FILLED WITH LAUGHTER, AND OUR TONGUE WITH SINGING. Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” 

When the people saw the impossible happen, their hearts were overwhelmed with joy and laugher! Look what the LORD has done!

Psa 126:3, THE LORD HAS DONE GREAT THINGS FOR US, AND WE ARE GLAD. 

Imagine the great joy being reunited with loved ones who passed away! I WILL SEE MY PARENTS AGAIN, NOT IN THEIR FEEBLE BODIES, BUT IN THEIR GLORIFIED BODIES!

1Co 2:9, But as it is written: “EYE HAS NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NOR HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN THE THINGS WHICH GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”

WE HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING YET! THE BEST IS YET TO COME! HE IS FAITHFUL!

Psa 126:5, THOSE WHO SOW IN TEARS SHALL REAP IN JOY. 

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning! Be ready for HE is near!

Rev 21:4, And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Psalm 123, keep your eyes on the LORD!

Psa 123:1, UNTO YOU I LIFT UP MY EYES, O YOU WHO DWELL IN THE HEAVENS.

As the storms in our lives (trials) rages on my eyes will be steadfast focused on the LORD! Remember HIS disciples, fishermen, while on the boat were focused on the storm, not the CREATOR who was with them!

Mat 8:25-27, Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “LORD, SAVE US! WE ARE PERISHING!”  BUT HE SAID TO THEM, “WHY ARE YOU FEARFUL, O YOU OF LITTLE FAITH?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. So the men marveled, saying, “WHO CAN THIS BE, THAT EVEN THE WINDS AND THE SEA OBEY HIM?”

HE is always with us, and HE is in full control!

2Co 4:8-9, We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—

Psa 123:2, Behold, AS the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, AS the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, SO OUR EYES LOOK TO THE LORD OUR GOD, UNTIL HE HAS MERCY ON US. 

Like a waiter or butler is intently focused on the slightest hint from their master with that same intensity the psalmist looks to GOD! HE is always working in our lives, but we need to wait for HIS perfect timing!

Psa 27:13-14, I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. WAIT ON THE LORD; BE OF GOOD COURAGE, AND HE SHALL STRENGTHEN YOUR HEART; WAIT, I SAY, ON THE LORD!

Psa 123:3-4, Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us! FOR WE ARE EXCEEDINGLY FILLED WITH CONTEMPT. OUR SOUL IS EXCEEDINGLY FILLED WITH THE SCORN of those who are at ease, WITH THE CONTEMPT OF THE PROUD.

Remember, this is not our home; for those that believe this is the closest we will ever be to hell! But, to those that don’t believe this world is the closest they will be to heaven!

Isa 53:3, HE IS DESPISED AND REJECTED BY MEN, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from HIM; HE WAS DESPISED, AND WE DID NOT ESTEEM HIM. 

As HE was rejected, so will we be rejected for our faith in HIM! This world offers nothing but grief! But HE is coming and soon will be here!

Psalm 122, coming to the house of the LORD!

Psa 122:1, I WAS GLAD WHEN THEY SAID TO ME, “LET US GO INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.

The Psalmist was glad to be invited to go to the house of the LORD! Today many people believe it to be a burden, “I HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH”, rather than a joyous occasion!

Zec 8:22-23, Yes, many peoples and strong nations Shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, And to pray before the LORD.’ THUS SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS: ‘In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, “LET US GO WITH YOU, FOR WE HAVE HEARD THAT GOD IS WITH YOU.

The day is coming when the living GOD will reign from Jerusalem and everyone will go before HIM! Some, IN FEAR, but others in complete joy!

Psa 84:1-2, How lovely is Your tabernacle, O LORD of hosts! My soul longs, yes, even faints For the courts of the LORD; MY HEART AND MY FLESH CRY OUT FOR THE LIVING GOD.

Psa 122:5, FOR THRONES ARE SET THERE FOR JUDGMENT, The thrones of the house of David. 

Our justice system today is corrupt, Judges, lawyers, senators all on the take for financial gain! YET, HE IS COMING AND HE SHALL JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY; FOR HE CAN’T BE BOUGHT NOR CORRUPTED BY ANYTHING!

Psa 96:13, FOR HE IS COMING, FOR HE IS COMING TO JUDGE THE EARTH. HE SHALL JUDGE THE WORLD WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THE PEOPLES WITH HIS TRUTH. 

Psa 122:6-7, Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.”

Jerusalem is the apple of GOD’s eye, but the center of many conflicts! Those that bless it shall be blessed, but those that curse it shall be cursed! It’s HIS promise to all!

Gen 12:3, I WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS YOU, And I will curse him who curses you; AND IN YOU ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED.” 

Remember HE IS COMING; the time of HIS appearing is near! Seek HIM and know HIM for HE loves you more than you know!

Tit 2:13, LOOKING FOR THE BLESSED HOPE AND GLORIOUS APPEARING OF OUR GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST,

Psalm 119:129-144, HIS word is pure!

Pe פ, 129-136

Psa 119:129-130, YOUR TESTIMONIES ARE WONDERFUL; Therefore my soul keeps them. The entrance of Your words gives light; IT GIVES UNDERSTANDING TO THE SIMPLE.

A name given to the coming MESSIAH, JESUS is WONDERFUL (Isaiah 9:6). For JESUS is wonderful, and HIS word a light to our path!

Isa 9:6, For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. AND HIS NAME WILL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Psa 19:7, The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, MAKING WISE THE SIMPLE;

Psa 119:133, DIRECT MY STEPS by Your word, And let no iniquity have dominion over me. 

HE directs those who trust in HIM and HIS promises! Remember, you can be led away by your feelings, lust, friends, circumstances etc. HE wants to lead us by HIS word JESUS!

Pro 3:5-6, Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Tsadde צ,  137-144

Psa 119:137-138, RIGHTEOUS ARE YOU, O LORD, And upright are Your judgments. Your testimonies, which You have commanded, Are RIGHTEOUS AND VERY FAITHFUL.

HIS way is perfect, and HIS understanding is without fail! HE knows all and sees all! HE is faithful to HIS promises for us found in scripture! Trust in the LORD for HE can’t lie!

Num 23:19, “GOD IS NOT A MAN, THAT HE SHOULD LIE, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. HAS HE SAID, AND WILL HE NOT DO? Or HAS HE SPOKEN, AND WILL HE NOT MAKE IT GOOD? 

Psa 119:140, YOUR WORD IS VERY PURE; THEREFORE YOUR SERVANT LOVES IT. 

For those that know their GOD, HIS word is pure for HE is HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!

1Pe 2:2  as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 

Your either guided by the cares of this world or by HIS word? We need to choose; remember HE is faithful and can’t lie! Trust in HIM!

Pro 30:5  Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.

Psalm 119:97-112, choice is yours!

MEM מ 97-104

Psa 119:98-100, You, through YOUR COMMANDMENTS, make me wiser than my enemies; For they ARE EVER WITH ME. I have more understanding than all my teachers, For YOUR TESTIMONIES ARE MY MEDITATION. I understand more than the ancients, BECAUSE I KEEP YOUR PRECEPTS.

Reading and keeping HIS word is wisdom for it is PREPARING US FOR WHAT IS TO COME! The wisdom the world offers is foolishness which leads to death, YET HE offers us life!!

Col 2:8, BEWARE LEST ANYONE CHEAT YOU through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, AND NOT ACCORDING TO CHRIST. 

Psa 119:101, I HAVE RESTRAINED MY FEET FROM EVERY EVIL WAY, THAT I MAY KEEP YOUR WORD. 

What good is it if we read HIS word, but led by the cares of this world, the desires of our hearts, riches and glory?

Luk 9:23, Then He (JESUS) said to them all, “IF ANYONE DESIRES TO COME AFTER ME, LET HIM DENY HIMSELF, AND TAKE UP HIS CROSS DAILY, AND FOLLOW ME.

NUN נ 105-112

Psa 119:105, YOUR WORD IS A LAMP TO MY FEET AND A LIGHT TO MY PATH. 

We live in dark times where good is bad, and bad is now good! But we also were once in darkness, YET HIS word put on flesh to teach the lost they way they should go!

Joh 8:12, Then JESUS spoke to them again, saying, “I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. HE WHO FOLLOWS ME SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE.” 

Isa 9:2a, THE PEOPLE WHO WALKED IN DARKNESS HAVE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT…

Psa 119:112, I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes Forever, to the very end. 

IT’S A CHOICE WE ALL MUST MAKE! For the Psalmist he has chosen to follow his word for the rest of his life! What have you chosen? What do you seek?

Pro 14:12, There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

Psalm 119:65-80, HE corrects HIS own!

Teth ט, 65-72

Psa 119:67-68, Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word. You are good, and do good; Teach me Your statutes.

As a good FATHER, HE corrects HIS own children. HE only wants the best for you! HE IS GOOD AND ONLY DOES GOOD!

Pro 3:11-12, My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor detest His correction; FOR WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE CORRECTS, JUST AS A FATHER THE SON IN WHOM HE DELIGHTS.

Psa 119:71, IT IS GOOD FOR ME THAT I HAVE BEEN AFFLICTED, THAT I MAY LEARN YOUR STATUTES. 

Suffer a little now is better than suffering for all eternity! That is why HE corrects HIS own that we may draw closer to HIM and away from the pit!

1Co 11:32, But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, THAT WE MAY NOT BE CONDEMNED WITH THE WORLD. 

YOD י , 73-80

Psa 119:75, I KNOW, O LORD, THAT YOUR JUDGMENTS ARE RIGHT, AND THAT IN FAITHFULNESS YOU HAVE AFFLICTED ME. 

The LORD uses everything and anything to correct HIS own! HE IS THE GOOD FATHER AND HE DOES WHAT’S BEST FOR US!

Heb 12:10-11 NLT, For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. BUT GOD’S DISCIPLINE IS ALWAYS GOOD FOR US, SO THAT WE MIGHT SHARE IN HIS HOLINESS. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! BUT AFTERWARD THERE WILL BE A PEACEFUL HARVEST OF RIGHT LIVING FOR THOSE WHO ARE TRAINED IN THIS WAY.

Psa 119:80, LET MY HEART BE BLAMELESS REGARDING YOUR STATUTES, THAT I MAY NOT BE ASHAMED.

There are so many people who know how to speak christianese, “bless you brother”, “I’ll pray for you”, “God is good” etc.  YET, their hearts are filled with Anger, hypocrisy, lust, and hatred etc. THEN HE COMES, YET YOU STAYED? GET RIGHT WITH THE LORD FOR HE IS NEAR! HE IS COMING

1Jn 2:28, And now, little children, abide in Him, that WHEN HE APPEARS, WE MAY HAVE CONFIDENCE AND NOT BE ASHAMED BEFORE HIM AT HIS COMING.
