Eschatological Passage of Psalms 46

Eschatological Passage of Psalms 46

In II Chronicles 20:14-19 we find a man, a prophet, by the name Jahaziel brought into focus. Jahaziel brought God's message to Jehoshaphat and spoke to him concerning the fact that on the morrow he was to go into battle and see the working of God for miraculous victory. In verse 17 Jahaziel told Jehoshaphat he would not need to fight in the battle, but that God would be victorious and see that Jehoshophat won the battle without even fighting. What a tremendous portion of scripture this is for us when we also fight battles in which it seems like we are totally outnumbered. So much of the time we let the circumstances of a situation defeat us before we are ever in battle. Jehoshaphat was in a position that looked as if he would never be able to win such a battle as confronted him that day. However, on the next day miraculous things happened. Prior to that day, a very important psalm was written. I believe this psalm was written on the eve of the deliverance of Judah. Psalms 46 may be a psalm of Jahaziel and that he wrote it in respect to what he had said to Jehoshaphat during the day. Jahaziel gave great instruction in this psalm of hope for dependence upon God. Two verses become very important to us in the very first part of the psalm which are verses 46:1-2. We are to realize and remember that God is our refuge and strength and a very present help in trouble. Because of this we are not to be afraid. Regardless of our circumstances, we are to have faith in God to meet all our needs, we are to believe that He has all things in His hand, and we are to trust in Him. This was the instruction from Jahaziel to Jehoshaphat the night before going into battle against the Moabites and the Ammonites. However, verse 10 is a verse of great instruction and especially when things look very dismal from our perspective. Verse 10 says, “Be still and know that I am God.” What great instruction. Be still and know God that He is God. In times of dismay, we want to panic, but, in times of dismay, God says to us, “Be still and know that I am God.” I cannot think of any greater instruction than this for each of us in times of difficulty and in times of trial but to be still and know that He is God.

JEHOSHAPHAT, VALLEY OF (Joe_3:2; Joe_3:12).—The deep valley to the E. of Jerusalem, between the city and the Mt. of Olives, has since the 4th cent. A.D. been identified by an unbroken Christian tradition with the Valley of Jehoshaphat. Moslems and Jews have also for centuries looked upon this valley as the scene of the Last Judgment on the Day of Atonement. The Jews especially consider this of all places on earth the most suitable for burial, as it is taught that all bodies buried elsewhere must find their way thither at the last day. The valley was the ordinary place for graves in pre-exilic times (2Ki_23:6 etc.). In spite, however, of these traditions, it is quite probable that the name of this valley was at one time Wady Sha‘fât, from the neighbouring village of Sha‘fât, and that this suggested to early Christian pilgrims, in search of sites, the Biblical name Jehoshaphat. The so-called ‘Tomb of Jehoshaphat,’ which lies near the traditional ‘Tomb of Absalom,’ is an impossible site, for in 1Ki_22:50 and 2Ch_21:1 it is stated that he was buried in the city of David. The valley, moreover, does not suit the conditions, in that it is a nachal (wady)—the nachal Kidron (wh. see),—whereas the Valley of Jehoshaphat was in Heb. an ‘çmeq (a wide, open valley). It has been suggested that the valley (‘çmeq) of Beracah, where Jehoshaphat returned thanks after his great victory (2Ch_20:26), may be the place referred to by Joel. It is, however, at least as probable that the prophet did not refer to any special locality and gave the name Jehoshaphat, i.e. ‘Jehovah judges,’ to an ideal spot.

Psalm 18=1918.

All throughout Psalms 18, you read the book of Revelation.

Battle of Haifa Sept 19-25, 1918, Israel duriing Feast of Tabernacles. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Haifa_(1918) End of WWI.

The Battle of Haifa was fought on 23 September 1918 towards the end of the Battle of Sharon which together with the Battle of Nablus formed the set piece Battle of Megiddo fought between 19 and 25 September during the last months of the Sinai and Palestine Campaign of the First World War (WWI). These wars took place during a part of Feast of Tabernacles in the 7^th Biblical Month which was the first month until the Exodus of 1441-1446 BCE.

And 100 years later on October 20^th, 2018, we have the Battle of Megiddo (Armageddon) at WWIII on the Day of Atonement in the 7^th Biblical month.

Day of Atonement

Psa 118:10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. Psa 118:11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. Psa 118:12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. Psa 118:13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. Psa 118:14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

On the Day of Atonement (Oct 20^th, 2018) is Marriage of the Groom and Bride (Rev 19) and Armageddon (Rev 16/19).

God Is Our Fortress

Psa 46:1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song (Doubtless Hezekiah's during Sennacherib siege. No other period of Israel's history suits it. Not celebrating a victorious campaign, but a successful defense) upon Alamoth (1Ch_15:20) . God is our refuge (to which one flees. Hebrew. Hasah.46:7, 11; Psa_62:7-8, Psa_91:1-9, Psa_142:5; Pro_14:26, Pro_18:10) and strength, a very (Psa_145:18; Gen_22:14; Deu_4:7; 2Sa_22:17-20) present (found (near); masculine refers to God (help is feminine)) help in trouble.

2 Sam 22:20 2Sa 22:20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

Psa 118:5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. (Day of Trumpet) Reference is to the Messianic Kingdom (i.e. New Jerusalem). Psalms 118=2018.

Day of the Lord or Day of Trumpet (Second Coming)

Psa 46:2 Therefore will (Psa_23:4, Psa_27:3; Mat_8:24-26; Heb_13:6) not we fear, though the earth be removed (quake. Same as "moved", Psa_46:6), and though (Gen_7:11-12; Luk_21:9-11, Luk_21:25-28, Luk_21:33; 2Pe_3:10-14) the mountains (Mat 21:21) be carried (moved) into the midst (heart) of the sea;

Isa 24:1= Rev 6:12-17 and what follows is an axial poleshift with the Trumpet and Bowl Judgments of Revelation over a 9 month period.

Gen 7:11-12 refers to the Day of Noah (Matt 24:37-42) and verse 12 refers to Chanukkah as the start time frame for an axial poleshift.

Matt 21:21 can refer to the axial poleshift or the Day of Trumpet at the Second Coming.

Psa 46:3 Though the waters (Psa_18:4, Psa_93:3-4; Isa_17:12-13; Rev_17:15) thereof roar (raged; 46:6) implying the raging of the Assyrian host without) and be troubled, though the mountains (Psa_114:4-7; Jdg_5:4-5; 1Ki_19:11; Job_9:5-6; Jer_4:24; Mic_1:4; Nah_1:5; Rev_16:20) shake with the swelling thereof. Selah (Connecting the roaring of the waters without with the silent flowing river in the rock-cut channel beneath Zion, and contrasting the boastings of the enemy with the secret purposes of God).

There is a time coming in 5778 when all of humanity shall die in one year from the Day of the Lord. Along this way, the mountains shall be moved out of place and the elements shall melt (500-1000 degrees Fahrenheit).

Millennium

Psa 46:4 There is a river (Hebrew. nahar. a constantly flowing river (not nahal, a summer wady; Psa_23:2, Psa_36:8-9; Isa_8:6-7, Isa_48:18; Eze_47:1-12; Rev_22:1-3). It flows beneath Zion, filling En Rogel and supplying Siloam), the streams (channels. Hebrew. Palag. i.e. the rock-cut channels beneath Zion) whereof shall make glad the city of God (Psa_48:1, Psa_48:8, Psa_87:3; 2Ch_6:6; Isa_60:14; Heb_12:22; Rev_21:2-3, Rev_21:10) , the holy (Deu_12:11-12) place ("The Most High hath hallowed His habitation". Exo_3:5) of the tabernacles (the great habitation. Plural of majesty, implying greatness of glory, not of size. Hebrew. Mishkan) of the most High (Hebrew. Elyon; Psa_91:1, Psa_92:1, Psa_92:8; Ecc_5:8; Mic_6:6).

The Millennium is going to be a glorious time of peace and joy and where the rivers heal you which you do not need but they are still there and Yeshuah is the rock where the rivers flow freely from.

Deut 12:11-12 has the word vows in it so the millennium is a place where God's laws will applyong with sacrifices (Deut 12:11-12; Mic 6:6).

Psa 46:5 God is in the midst (in the middle, not the same as Psa_46:2; God is: Psa_68:18; Deu_23:14; Isa_12:6; Eze_43:7, Eze_43:9; Hos_11:9; Joe_2:27; Zep_3:15; Zec_2:5, Zec_2:10-11, Zec_8:3; Mat_18:20; Rev_2:1) of her; she (the Lord; Psa_62:2, Psa_62:6, Psa_112:6, Psa_125:1) shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early (Hebrew at the turning of the morning: i.e. when the morning dawns. See 2Ki_19:31-35. Isa_37:35, Isa_37:36; Psa_30:5, Psa_143:8; Exo_14:24. Compare Exo_14:27).

Rev 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks. The Menorah is found in the Hebrew in Genesis 1:1 and 1:3. It is found in the days of the week. The Feasts of the Lord, the tabernacle and temple lights (candlelabra's), and here in Revelation. Remember that the fourth one (servant candle/Christ candle) is the face of man and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. The Menorah is the Sign of God and anyone who has one in his house is in love with God and nothing but God. Jesus came 4000 years from Creation, died at Passover on the 4^th day, in the midst of years (27-33 CE) which means He died in 30 CE.

The wrath of God shall be a time of great darkness, a time of the night, but it will only be for a short moment (not 7 years) but one year and in the morning will be a new morning of peace and tranquility for eternity for those written in the Book of Life.

Day of the Lord, Day of Atonement

Psa 46:6 The heathen (nations; Psa_2:1-4, Psa_83:2-8; 2Ch_14:9-13, 2Ch_20:1, 2Ch_20:20-24; Isa_8:9-10) raged (roar; 46:3), the kingdoms (Isa_14:12-16) were moved (46:5): he uttered his voice, the earth (Psa_68:8, Psa_97:5; Jos_2:9, Jos_2:11, Jos_2:24; Isa_64:1-2; Amo_9:5, Amo_9:13; Nah_1:5; Hab_3:5-6, Hab_3:10-11; 2Pe_3:10-12; Rev_6:13-14, Rev_20:11) melted.

Satan/Lucifer is waging war against mankind in this time frame after the rapture of the bride and Israel is in the midst of Psalms 83 War (Zech 1,2,12, 13) which ends on the Day of Trumpet and is followed up with the Ezekiel 38-39 War (Zech 14) which can be a 10 day war and ends on the Day of Atonement with the Marriage of the Groom and Bride and Armageddon (Psalms 118:10-13; Rev 16/19).

We have a melting of the elements going on from nuclear war along with 2 earthquakes (one at the beginning and one on the Day of Trumpet).

Psa 46:7 The LORD (Psa_46:11; Num_14:9; 2Ch_13:12; Isa_8:10; Mat_28:20; Rom_8:31) of hosts (I Sam 1:3) is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge (an impregnable place. Hebrew. Misgab. . an high place for us, Psa_9:9; Not the same word as in Psa_46:1) . Selah (Connecting this assured confidence in God's promise with its fulfillment in the deliverance of Zion from Sennacherib).

Joshua 1:6-9 comes to mind with courage and strength and God is with us. He is with us throughout the millennium.

Psa 46:8 Come (Psa_66:5, Psa_92:4-6, Psa_111:2-3) , behold (gaze on) the works of the LORD (Jehovah/Elohim), what desolations (Exo_10:7, Exo_12:30, Exo_14:30-31; Jos_11:20; 2Ch_20:23-24; Isa_24:1; Isa_34:2-17) he hath made in the earth.

God is in control of the universe and He is bringing in Planet X/Nibiru to bring in the Trumpet Judgments and/or the Bowl Judgments of Revelation. The window for Planet X is 2015-2020 but a closer window is 2017-2018. Within this window is September to October, or December to April or May to October.

Psa 46:9 He maketh (Isa_2:4, Isa_11:9, Isa_60:18; Mic_4:3-4) wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh (Psa_76:3-6; Eze_39:3, Eze_39:9-10) the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth (Jos_11:6, Jos_11:9; Mic_5:10) the chariot in the fire. (bow, spear, chariot are the weapons of war, corresponding with the preceding line on war).

The Ezekiel 38-39 War is referenced here which is the final war for humanity.

Psa 46:10 Be still (Desist; cease your efforts. Hebrew. Rapha; Hab_2:20; Zec_2:13) , and know (Psa_83:18, Psa_100:3; Exo_18:11; 1Sa_17:46; 1Ki_18:36; 2Ki_19:12) that I am God: I will be exalted (Hebrew. Rum), among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

2Ch 20:15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.

I Sam 17:46 on this day is a reference to us for the Day of Atonement and Armageddon which is followed 5 days later by the Messianic Kingdom/millennium.

1Sa 17:46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 1025 BCE to 1010 BCE, Most say 1018 BCE which reminds us of 2018 CE (Psalms 118-Second Coming chapter).

We have learned in the past on Day of the Lord to recognize words in passages like “That Day” referring to the Day of the Lord so this day can refer to one of the Sabbaths or not. Depending on the day 1 Sam 17:46 took place may have been in the month of Tishrei. Reading in context chapters 16 (sacrifice= Passover or Day of Atonement-17 may get us down to the month of Tishrei.

Psa 118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. This is a reference to the Feast of Tabernacles which is the Millennium.

Psa 46:11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God (Psa_46:1, Psa_46:7, Psa_48:3; Deu_33:27; Jer_16:19) of Jacob (Psa_146:5; and compare Gen_32:28; Gen_43:6; Gen_45:26) is our refuge. Selah (Connecting Psalm 46 with Psalms 47 and 48, all three referring to the same events).
