"My enemies reproach me all day long; those who deride me swear an oath against me....But You, O Lord, shall endure forever, and the remembrance of Your name to all generations." (Psalm 102:8 & 12)
The smart people are those who in the face of the enemies' attack realize, "But You, O Lord, shall endure forever...." So, in the face of, "My enemies reproach," I believe in, trust in, rely upon, live in and obey Jesus Christ, Who, "shall endure forever, and the remembrance of Your Name to all generations." Then and only then will I also, "endure forever,"---------------- to all generations," i.e., forever and ever, in Eternity, no time, no space, no sickness, sin limitation, just, "To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me in My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father in His throne." All of this because of, "the Blood of His cross."
Our text is from a "Messianic Psalm." Side note: each Psalm as well as the whole Bible is "Messianic." At any rate, it foreshadows Jesus' Words on the Cross as well as His bodily, "God with us,"sojourn on this planet. It also speaks of the Jews and their pilgrimage throughout the centuries. What is going on right now in Israel and the Middle East in general is a generation-to-generation war. It has been going on for millennia, and no firebombs, no "Iron Domes," no "peace talks," which is code for, "We really don't know what we're doing," will stop it. I really feel for those to whom the following statement is mere religious talk, cliche, or "christianese," but there will not be peace in the Middle East or on earth anywhere until the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, returns. And, "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory." Notice, this is not the Throne in Heaven; it is the Throne upon which He will sit, "When the Son of Man comes," here, when He returns to the Earth.
The past US elections, the President, the Congress, the Supreme Court, the United Nations can not affect the eternal plan of King Jesus. It is time for the Church and people who call themselves "Christian" to believe and act upon what they say they believe. "History is headed toward a dramatic climax" is not just a quote of Billy Graham; it is Biblical truth. "....There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken....And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh," 0r, in other words, "My enemies reproach me all day long," will be over. And, we will be with Him Who,"shall endure forever"----------------------- forever. Now, "HAPPY THANKSGIVING."
Father, in Jesus' Name, I offer Thanksgiving for You, Your Word Jesus Christ, and that You have included me in your Eternal Purpose. What Happy Thanksgiving. Amen.
