Eschatological Passage of Psalm 40

Eschatological Passage of Psalm 40

    What desolation and trouble David experienced during these days. He was betrayed, cursed, and given very little honor, as his own son sought his life and his throne. A study of II Sam. 15:31-17:24 will help in understanding David's position and the attitude of his heart at this time. This is the period in which David wrote the greatest number of his psalms.

    The time frame is 976 BCE to 972 BCE

2950 976 59th Jubilee (yovel יובל) Absalom's Conspiracy 2 Samuel 15; David Flees Jerusalem 2 Samuel 15:13

975 Sabbath Year (Shemitah)

973 BCE,960 9th Jubilee year (yovel יובל) Solomon chose the seventh month for the Temple Dedication "And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it" 1 Kings 6:38

972 BC David and Ziba, Shimei 2 Samuel 16; Shimei Curses David 2 Samuel 16:5; David's Psalm of Thirst for God (2Sa 16) Psalm 63; Hushai's Warning Saves David 2 Samuel 17; David Psalms of Deliverance (2Sa 17); Psalms 41, 55; Absalom Slain by Joab 2 Samuel 18; Joab Comforts David 2 Samuel 19; Sheba Rebels Against David 2 Samuel 20

    Remember now that David had brought all of this upon himself because of his sin. It is one thing to be forgiven of sin, but quite another to suffer the consequences of sin. Although God had forgiven the sin of David, He told David that all of the things that were now occurring would come to pass as a result of David's sin against Uriah. An alcoholic may be forgiven of his sin and saved, but he will always show and suffer the results of that alcoholism. Salvation and repentance can cure the problem of the spirit and soul, but will not erase the scar of sin.

     The urgency of the pursuit did not lesson. Absalom made Amasa his captain, in order to better organize the forces and give new vitality to his army. They continued to pursue David in Gilead. Now David's people were away from home, hunted as animals, and hungry with no provisions. By the time David and his people reached Mahanaim, they were completely destitute, and David could no longer supply their needs, but God could.

    Why is it that we must often be brought to total destitution in life before we will completely rely on God? What makes us that way? David was no different from us and he had to reach this point also. Whatever happens to bring us to the place of complete dependence on God, let us be thankful for it. After God doe provide for David's needs, David pours his heart out in thanksgiving in some very precious psalms such as 42, 43, 55, 71, 28, 143, 70, 27, 121, and 40.

    Psalm 40 is on the Burnt offering of Yeshua. Burnt sacrifice’—Heb. ‘ôlâh, lit. ‘that which goes up’ (on the altar). The name is supposed to point to the feature by which the ‘ôlâh was distinguished from all other sacrifices, viz., the burning of the whole victim as a holocaust upon the altar. This characteristic is more explicitly brought out by the rare designation kâlîl, the ‘whole burnt offering’ of Deu_33:10 RV (AV ‘whole burnt sacrifice’) and Psa_51:19. ‘Whole offering’ would be a more exact equivalent of the burnt sacrifice and the whole burnt sacrifice.

My Help and My Deliverer

Psa 40:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm/Mizmor of David. I waited patiently (Hebrew in waiting I waited) for the LORD/Jehovah; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

    This psalm is supposed to have been composed by David about the same time, and on the same occasion, as the two preceding; with this difference, that here he magnifies God for have obtained the mercy which he sought there. It also contains a remarkable prophecy of the incarnation and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Psa 40:2 He brought me up (take up, caught up, gathered, raptured, drew me, took me, delivered me, quicken me and bring me up) also out of an horrible pit (Heb. pit of noise, Mat_13:50), out of the miry clay, and set (Psalm 27:5) my feet upon a rock (Hebrew. Sela; Psa_18:1, Psa_18:2), and established (Psa_17:5, Psa_18:36, Psa_37:23, Psa_119:133) my goings.

    The lake of fire and brimstone is the pit of Hell/Sheol. The Lord brought me out of the pit with His life on the Tav/staff. He paid His ransom for my life.

    Psalm 27:5 is a rapture verse and can refer to one year.

    Our feet are established by the Word of God in our lives and walking it out.

Psa 40:3 And he (Psa_33:3, Psa_144:9; Rev_5:9-10, Rev_14:3) hath put a new song (Psa_33:3) in my mouth, even praise (Psa_103:1-5; Isa_12:1-4) unto our God/Elohim: many (Psa_34:1-6, Psa_35:27, Psa_52:6, Psa_64:9-10, Psa_142:7; Hos_3:5) shall see it, and fear, and shall trust (confide Hebrew. Batah; Prov 3:5-8) in the LORD.

     In 2014, I had a new song and words I could not understand in a dream but when I woke up I was praising God all day long. In 2017 from an article on the 144,000 Jewish Evangelist who stay after the rapture to evangelize, I found out that I am a hermit and one of those people. We come from all walks of life and are both men and women who have not been married to politics or church politics.

    Isa 12 refers to the Day of the Lord.

    Hoseah 3:5 refers to the latter days or last days which according to the Blog timeline began in 1947/1948 to the present with emphasis on the tribulation period of 2007-2017.

Psa 40:4 Blessed/happy (Psa_2:12, Psa_34:8, Psa_84:11-12, Psa_118:8-9; Jer_17:7-8; Rom_15:12-13) is that man (strong man. Hebrew. Geber) that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth (Psa_15:4, Psa_101:3-7, Psa_119:21) not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies (SUNday worship; All saints day; Halloween; Christmas; Easter; pagan/heathen holidays; Replacement Theology; Imminency of Christ meaning any time any year when it can only happen in a year of Jubilee (Lev 25:9-10 and only on a New Moon, Full Moon or Solemn Feast Day (Psalm 81:3; Prov 7:20 (full moon); saying there is 7 years between the rapture (Psalm 117) and Second Coming (Psalm 118); Saying that Deut 24:5 does not mean a year when it reads one year). LIARS burn in the lake of fire and brimstone: Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

    We need to learn to follow the commandments of God.

Psa 40:5 Many, O LORD/Jehovah my God/Elohim , are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot (etc. or, none can order them unto thee, Job_37:19-20) be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered/rehearsed.

Psa 40:6 Sacrifice (Hebrew. zabach. Quoted in Heb_10:5-12; Jer_7:21-23; Hos_6:6; Mat_9:13; Mat_12:7) ) and offering (Hebrew. minchah. Compare Heb_10:5-7. Note the four great offerings here, and separately: Psa_40:6= any sacrifice; -6-, the meal offering; -6-, burnt offering; -6, sin offering (compare Psalm 22); and in Ps. 69 =the trespass offering) thou didst/hast not desire; mine ears hast/didst thou opened (digged. Kal Pret. of karah, = opening by digging, or boring. Note the occurrences: Gen_50:5. Num_24:18. 2Ch_16:14 (margin) Psa_7:15 (margin); Psa_40:6; Psa_57:6; Psa_119:85. Jer_18:22, Jer_18:22, referring to the opening of the ear to hear; for which, in Isa_50:5 (compare Isa_48:8), another word (pathah) is used with the meaning of opening (as of a door). Note the obedience, which is the point emphasized by the alternation in Psa_40:6. | Sacrifice and offering. Not desired. | Mine ears hast Thou digged. (Pos.) | Burnt-offering and sin-offering. Not required. | Lo, I come to do. (Pos.) Obedience is the great truth here conveyed; and, on the same grounds as in 1Sa_15:22. Jer_7:22, Jer_7:23. Heb_10:5, is not a quotation of this verse: it is what Messiah "said" when He came into the world to perform what Psa_40:6 prophesied, when He had become Incarnate, and could say "I am come". He must change the word "ears" for the "body", in which that obedience was to be accomplished, and He had a right to change the words, and thus adapt them. It is not a question of quotation, or of the Septuagint versus the Hebrew text. Note the heaping up of these expressions to emphasize the obedience, and observe the alternation of positive and negative in verses: Psa_40:9, Psa_40:10): burnt offering (Psalm 40) and sin offering (Psalm 22) hast thou not required.

    Isa 66:3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Psa 40:7 Then said I (i.e. at Incarnation, when He "came into the world" (Heb_10:5)), Lo (Heb_10:7-9), I come (Hear and obey; receive, accept): in the volume of the book (Torah, the book of the Law; Genesis to Deuteronomy) it is written (it is prescribed. Compare 2Ki_22:13) of me,

    2Ki 22:13 Go ye, enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.

    God is bringing His wrath on the world through Yeshua/Jesus because we and our fathers have not listened to the Torah and to walk it out in our lives.

    The Bible is about the first and Second Coming of Jesus.

Luk 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

Psa 40:8 I delight (Psa_112:1, Psa_119:16, Psa_119:24, Psa_119:47, Psa_119:92; Job_23:12; Jer_15:16; Joh_4:34; Rom_7:22; Rom_8:29) to do thy will (good pleasure), O my God: yea (Psa_37:30-31; Pro_3:1; Jer_31:33; 2Co_3:3), thy law is within (in the midst of) my heart (bowels: i.e. my inward parts).

    Since Yeshua is Lord, He does the Will of God and the Law is within Him.

    Since the age of 8, I have been doing the will of God in my life but I did not find out until I was 58. Since 1967, I have had over 55 fulfilled God dreams for my life.

Yeshua came as the burnt offering as the sacrificial lamb and as the King because He was following the will of God which is found in the Torah such as Leviticus 23 which is all about the first and second coming of Jesus and is explained throughout the Tenakh but you have to be an berean to unlock the scriptures one precept at a time and line upon line and connect the dots.

    The cross references refer to obedience of the laws, commandments, statues, and ordinances found in the Torah and some refer to even in th Millennium (Psalm 119; Jer 31:31-36).

Psa 40:9 I have preached (declared as glad tidings = euaggelizo in N.T.) righteousness in the great congregation/assembly: lo, I have not (Psa_119:13, Psa_119:171-172) refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest (Hear, receive, accept, do and understand).

    Psalm 119=2019 and the Millennium. The Laws of God are a part of the Millennium.

Psa 40:10 I have not hid (did not hide; Eze_2:7, Eze_3:17-18; Act_20:20-21) thy righteousness within my heart (bowels: i.e. my inward parts); I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation/deliverance: I have not concealed (did not conceal) thy lovingkindness (mercy, grace, favor) and thy truth from/in the great congregation.

    As a watchman on the wall, I warn you until the Day of the Rapture that Judgment is coming by way of the Trumpet and Bowl judgments. I tell you to repent unto God for your idol worship and to have faith in Yeshua for what has been said in the word of God will be fulfilled in this time frame we are in.

Psa 40:11 Withhold (From this verse to the end, we have quite a new subject; for the former contains a thanksgiving, and this contains a supplication. It is nearly the same as the seventieth, and probably formed a distinct Psalm. Psa_69:13, Psa_69:16) not thou (Thou wilt not withhold) thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

Psa 40:12 For innumerable (Psa_22:11-19; Heb_4:15) evils (calamities. Hebrew. ra'a') have compassed me about: mine iniquities (for their punishment. Hebrew. 'aven. Laid on Him as the substituted sacrifice) have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart/courage faileth me.

    The cross references refer to the first coming of Yeshua.

Psa 118:10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. 118:11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 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. Day of Atonement with marriage of the Groom and Bride and Armageddon. Sept 19, 2018 at the end of the Ezekiel 38-39 War.

Psa 40:13 Be (Psa_25:17-18; Mat_26:36-44) pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste (Psa_38:22, Psa_70:1-5) to help me.

    Heaviness of heart for sins of the Globe and the Garden of Gethemene. Watch and Pray to be counted worthy to be resurrected on the Day of the Rapture. By His raising from the dead, He gives us hope that on our resurrection day, that we are counted worthy to enter into the Messianic Kingdom on Sept 24, 2018 at the first annual Sabbath of Feast of Tabernacles (Psalm 118:15/Rev 11:15ff; Rev 20).

   He comes to us on our day of Salvation and our bags are ready for the Day of Rapture but all we need to do is ask Him now to come into our lives and walk with us and talk to us in His word. We learn by obedience to walk out His will in our lives as long as we walk out His laws in our lives.

Psa 40:14 Let them be ashamed (The verbs in the preceding verse, in which the psalmist simply prays for deliverance, are in the imperative; but here, and in the following verses, they are in the future tense, and naturally express the language of lively faith and hope, rather than that of wishing the destruction foreseen and predicted. Psa_31:17-18, Psa_35:4, Psa_35:26, Psa_70:2-3, Psa_71:13; Isa_41:11, Isa_45:24) and confounded together that seek after my soul (Hebrew. Nephesh) to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

    Those who seek after evil shall perish in the lake of fire and brimstone for eternity. Those who are written in the Book of Death (90 percent of humanity) and those in the book of luke-warm which covers 2-9 percent of humanity, may enter in to the Messianic Kingdom or shall perish into the lake of fire and brimstone. For these ones, it is 50/50 chance.

Psa 40:15 Let them be desolate (Psa_69:24-25; Ps 73:19; Psa_109:6-20; Luk_19:43-44, Luk_21:23-24) for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha (Compare Psa_35:21; Psa_70:3) .

    For the wicked, the wrath/indignation of God will be poured out onto mankind during the Trumpet and Bowl Judgments of Revelation. This can be over a one year period, 9 month period, 8.5 month period (Feb 15^th to Day of Trumpet beginning on the New Moon) or even a 7 month period (Nisan 1 to Day of Trumpet). The closest time would be 5.5 month period because the Exodus plagues were poured out over a 5.5 month period (Pentecost to Day of Trumpet).

    Many will be led captive and die by the swords (of Islam).

    Luke 19:43-44 reminded me of WWI or WWII when the Nazi's buried people alive in trenches and what Islam is doing to try to stamp out the Jews and Christians in the Middle East. Remember that Satan comes to deceive, steal, kill and destroy. Islam comes to deceive, steal, kill, and destroy. The New World Order comes to deceive, steal, kill, and destroy. The United Nations comes to deceive, steal, kill, and destroy. 90 percent to 95 percent of humanity comes to deceive, steal, kill, and destroy.

Psa 40:16 Let (Compare Psa_35:27; Psa_70:4) all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

    Seek the Lord while you still have time for the Day of Rapture is the end of grace. After that comes judgment. Seek His Word to flow in you and through you. Walk out His Word in your lives and go not go after idols of this world like the heathen/pagans do.

Psa 40:17 But I am poor (afflicted. Hebrew. 'anah) and needy; yet the Lord thinketh (will think. For all that the thoughts can devise, plan, or order) upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

    The Lord is coming Now to judge the globe in truth and righteousness. The door close on the Day of Rapture and then comes judgment. The door closes on the day you die and then comes judgment.

    Give your lives to God and walk in His ways while you are still alive for the door does not stay open indefinitely.
