Psalm 75, The cup of HIS wrath!

Psa 75:1, … We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.

The works of the LORD, in regards to Israel, are simply amazing! We should always give thanks to the LORD for HE continues to work!

Deu 4:33-34, DID ANY PEOPLE ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? Or did God ever try to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that THE LORD YOUR GOD DID FOR YOU IN EGYPT BEFORE YOUR EYES?

Psa 75:4-5, “I SAID TO THE BOASTFUL, ‘Do not deal boastfully,’ And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn. Do not lift up your horn on high; Do not speak with a stiff neck.’ “

HE has said to those that brag and the proud, “STOP BOASTING, STOP BEING PRIDEFUL; IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU, BUT IT’S ABOUT HIM”!

Psa 75:6-7, FOR EXALTATION comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south. BUT GOD IS THE JUDGE: HE PUTS DOWN ONE, AND EXALTS ANOTHER.

THE LORD PROMOTES WHO HE WILLS! HE WOULD EVEN LIFT UP A CORRUPT RULER IN ORDER TO JUDGE A NATION! HE IS IN FULL CONTROL, NOTHING GETS PAST HIM!

Pro 29:2, When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. 

Luk 1:52, HE HAS PUT DOWN THE MIGHTY FROM THEIR THRONES, AND EXALTED THE LOWLY. 

Psa 75:8, FOR IN THE HAND OF THE LORD THERE IS A CUP, And the wine is red; It is fully mixed, and He pours it out; SURELY ITS DREGS SHALL ALL THE WICKED OF THE EARTH DRAIN AND DRINK DOWN.

Job 21:20b, … LET HIM DRINK OF THE WRATH OF THE ALMIGHTY.

The cup in HIS hand is a cup of wrath, a cup of judgement which the wicked will one day drink even to it’s dregs! YET Remember the LORD HIMSELF drank that cup for us, HE took the punishment that we deserved on HIMSELF!

Isa 51:22, Thus says your Lord, The LORD and your God, Who pleads the cause of His people: “See, I HAVE TAKEN OUT OF YOUR HAND THE CUP OF TREMBLING, The dregs of the cup of My fury; YOU SHALL NO LONGER DRINK IT.

Psalm 16, We shall be like HIM!

Psa 16:1-2, … PRESERVE ME, O GOD, FOR IN YOU I PUT MY TRUST. O my soul, you have said to the LORD, “YOU ARE MY LORD, MY GOODNESS IS NOTHING APART FROM YOU.”

DAVID TRUSTED IN THE LORD, AND APART FROM HIM LIFE MEANS NOTHING! ALL THE GOOD DAVID CAN DO WILL BE FORGOTTEN WITHOUT GOD; BUT, IN HIM, EVEN A GLASS OF WATER GOD WILL REWARD!

Mar 9:41, FOR WHOEVER GIVES YOU A CUP OF WATER TO DRINK IN MY NAME, BECAUSE YOU BELONG TO CHRIST, ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU, HE WILL BY NO MEANS LOSE HIS REWARD.  

Psa 16:3, AS FOR THE SAINTS WHO ARE ON THE EARTH, “THEY ARE THE EXCELLENT ONES, IN WHOM IS ALL MY DELIGHT.” 

SAINTS ARE THOSE BEING SANCTIFIED BY COMING TO CHRIST JESUS! DAVID DELIGHTED OVER THE SAINTS OF HIS TIME; DO WE DELIGHT IN OUR BROTHERS IN THE LORD? EACH WITH THEIR UNIQUE GIFTS CAN FORM A POWERFUL CHURCH IN HIS NAME!

1Pe 4:10, AS EACH ONE HAS RECEIVED A GIFT, MINISTER IT TO ONE ANOTHER, AS GOOD STEWARDS OF THE MANIFOLD GRACE OF GOD. 

Psa 16:9-10, Therefore my HEART IS GLAD, and my glory rejoices; MY FLESH ALSO WILL REST IN HOPE. FOR YOU WILL NOT LEAVE MY SOUL IN SHEOL, NOR WILL YOU ALLOW YOUR HOLY ONE TO SEE CORRUPTION.

David could rest and rejoice knowing that in his death GOD will be there to take care of him! DEATH TO MANY IS THE END OF ALL THINGS, BUT THATS JUST A MERE ILLUSION! IN REALITY IT’S THE BEGINNING OF LIFE IN HIS PRESENCE!

2Cor 5:7-8, FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT. WE ARE CONFIDENT, yes, well pleased rather TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY AND TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD.

JESUS ON THE CROSS HAD VICTORY OVER DEATH AND THE FATHER DIDN’T ALLOW CORRUPTION TO COME NEAR HIM! SINCE HE LIVES, WE SHALL ALSO LIVE AND WE WILL BE LIKE HIM! ONE DAY SOON!

1Jn 3:2, Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed WHAT WE SHALL BE, but we know that WHEN HE IS REVEALED, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS.

Job 31, a covenant with GOD!

Job 31:1-3, “I HAVE MADE A COVENANT WITH MY EYES; WHY THEN SHOULD I LOOK UPON A YOUNG WOMAN? For what is the allotment of God from above, And the inheritance of the Almighty from on high? IS IT NOT DESTRUCTION FOR THE WICKED, AND DISASTER FOR THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY?

Job made a covenant with GOD regarding his eyes! Lusting over women is sinful and he knew himself! JESUS SAID,

Mat 5:28, BUT I SAY TO YOU THAT WHOEVER LOOKS AT A WOMAN TO LUST FOR HER HAS ALREADY COMMITTED ADULTERY WITH HER IN HIS HEART. 

If we follow our example in life, JESUS, the lust of the eyes is not HIS way, but the world’s!

1Jn 2:16, FOR ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD—THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYES, and the PRIDE OF LIFE—IS NOT OF THE FATHER BUT IS OF THE WORLD. 

Job 31:13-15, “If I have despised the cause of my male or female servant When they complained against me, What then shall I do when God rises up? WHEN HE PUNISHES, HOW SHALL I ANSWER HIM? DID NOT HE WHO MADE ME IN THE WOMB MAKE THEM? DID NOT THE SAME ONE FASHION US IN THE WOMB?

Pro 22:2, The rich and the poor have this in common, The LORD is the maker of them all. 

We are not better than anyone else, WE ARE ALL HIS CREATION! IF WE OPPRESS ANYONE IT’S A REPROACH AGAINST THEIR CREATOR, GOD!

Pro 14:31, He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy. 

We are HIS Creation, but not all are HIS sons! BEING CALLED A SON OF GOD IS A PRIVILEGE TO THOSE WHO KNOW THEIR GOD AND HAVE RECEIVED HIM! IT’S A GIFT TO THE WORLD FOR ALL THOSE WILLING TO COME TO HIM! DON’T FOLLOW THE WAYS OF THE WORLD, BECAUSE IT ONLY LEADS TO DEATH!

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:

Esther 7, the high price of sin!

Est 7:3-4, Then Queen Esther answered and said, “IF I HAVE FOUND FAVOR IN YOUR SIGHT, O KING, and if it pleases the king, LET MY LIFE BE GIVEN ME AT MY PETITION, AND MY PEOPLE AT MY REQUEST. FOR WE HAVE BEEN SOLD, MY PEOPLE AND I, TO BE DESTROYED, TO BE KILLED, AND TO BE ANNIHILATED. …

The 2nd day of the banquet and Esther gives her request before the king!  

Est 7:5-6, So King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, “WHO IS HE, and WHERE IS HE, WHO WOULD DARE PRESUME IN HIS HEART TO DO SUCH A THING?” And Esther said, “THE ADVERSARY AND ENEMY IS THIS WICKED HAMAN!” SO HAMAN WAS TERRIFIED BEFORE THE KING AND QUEEN.

Psa 7:14-16, 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. His trouble shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.

Est 7:9, NOW HARBONAH, ONE OF THE EUNUCHS, SAID TO THE KING, “LOOK! THE GALLOWS, FIFTY cubits high, WHICH HAMAN MADE FOR MORDECAI, WHO SPOKE GOOD ON THE KING’S BEHALF, is standing at the house of Haman.” THEN THE KING SAID, “HANG HIM ON IT!” 

GUILTY HAMAN DIED IN PLACE OF INNOCENT MORDECAI, YET OUR KING JESUS DIED FOR THE GUILTY!

Rom 8:3, For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, GOD DID BY SENDING HIS OWN SON IN THE LIKENESS OF SINFUL FLESH, ON ACCOUNT OF SIN: HE CONDEMNED SIN IN THE FLESH, 

Psa 53:3, EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS TURNED ASIDE; THEY HAVE TOGETHER BECOME CORRUPT; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, NO, NOT ONE. 

THE PRICE OF OUR SIN WAS PAID BY THE FATHERS ONLY SON!

2Chronicles 3, Provide HIMSELF!

2Ch 3:1, NOW SOLOMON BEGAN TO BUILD THE HOUSE OF THE LORD AT JERUSALEM ON MOUNT MORIAH, …

On a different spot on that same hill, Mount Moriah, Isaac was offered, as a type of CHRIST, Gen 22:2, Then the LORD Jesus was offered up on that same hill!

Gen 22:8 KJV, And Abraham said, MY SON, GOD WILL PROVIDE HIMSELF A LAMB FOR A BURNT OFFERING…

Abraham, speaking as the Father, said “MY SON, GOD WILL PROVIDE HIMSELF” GOD THE SON PROVIDED HIMSELF AS A BURNT OFFERING BECAUSE OF OUR SINS!

Heb 1:8, But to the SON HE SAYS: “YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM. 

OUR SINS WHERE GREAT, BUT HIS LOVE FOR US WAS GREATER THAN OUR SINS!

2Ch 3:17, Then he set up the pillars before the temple, … HE CALLED THE NAME OF THE ONE ON THE RIGHT HAND JACHIN, AND THE NAME OF THE ONE ON THE LEFT BOAZ. 

Jachin means “HE SHALL ESTABLISH” AND Boaz means “IN HIM IS STRENGTH”! The house of GOD was established by GOD and built by the strength of GOD!

1Pe 2:5, YOU ALSO, AS LIVING STONES, ARE BEING BUILT UP A SPIRITUAL HOUSE, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.  The Father is building HIS temple, the church, on the ROCK, HIS SON JESUS! INDEED, JESUS HAS ESTABLISHED IN HIS STRENGTH THE WAY FOR US TO FOLLOW! TRUST IN HIM, HE IS COMING BACK FOR HIS BRIDE! SOON!!
