Last night I read this psalm and
thought it quite appropriate regarding the presidential debates
tonight.
Psalm 12
Help,
LORD; for the godly man ceases; for the faithful fail from among the
children of men. They speak vanity every one with his neighbor: with
flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. The LORD shall
cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things:
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own:
who is lord over us? For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing
of the needy, now will I arise, said the LORD; I will set him in
safety from him that puffs at him. The words of the LORD are pure
words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
You shall keep them, O LORD, you shall preserve them from this
generation for ever. The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest
men are exalted.
My
interpretation in light of upcoming debates:
v1 Help
[yasha
= save], LORD; for the godly man ceases; for the faithful fail from
among the children of men.
Satan
is not very creative in his religious deceptions of Islam and
Mormonism. Both religions say they accept the Bible but that their
holy book (Koran and Book of Mormon) supersedes the Bible. Both
religions say they believe in Jesus Christ, but the Muslims don't
believe Allah had a son or that Jesus died on the cross, and Mormons
believe in a Jesus who was married and had children.
I
think since 2008 the number of real “godly” Christians in America
is less than 50%. And we are crying out for Yashua to return and to
rule as King of the Earth.
v2 They
speak vanity [shav
= destructive evil, lies, and empty words] every one with his
neighbor: with flattering [chelqah
= smooth] lips and with a double heart do they speak.
David
Limbaugh calls Obama “The Great Destroyer” (his book title).
Obama's smooth speeches and executive orders set America on the
slippery slope to bankruptcy. In today's lingo we wouldn't say
“double
heart”
but two-faced.
v3 The
LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks
proud [gadol,
from a root “to twist” = insolent or grandiose] things:
“I
considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another
little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked
up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of
man, and a mouth speaking great [rabrab
(Aramaic) = huge] things.” (Daniel 7:8)
Obama,
the “little
horn”
was instrumental in taking out the horns/kings of Tunisia, Libya, and
Egypt.
Adolph
Hitler said, “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and
eventually they will believe it.” Hitler's propaganda man was
Joseph Goebbels.
Joseph
Goebbels stated: “If
you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for
such time as the State can shield the people from the political,
economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes
vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress
dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by
extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
The
truth of using Fast and Furious to undermine the 2nd
Amendment might only be trumped by using a film trailer to undermine
the 1st
Amendment and to cover up Obama's refusal to provide adequate
security in the country he “liberated”.
v4
Who
have said, With our tongue will we prevail [gabar
= valiant, insolent]; our lips are our own: who is lord [adon
= master] over us?
Obama
is a masterful liar because his master is Satan, the father of lies
(John 8:44).
The
Jews do not speak the Name of the LORD (YHWH) but say Adonai instead.
v5 For
the oppression [shod
= destruction, robbery] of the poor, for the sighing of the needy,
now will I arise, said the LORD; I will set him in safety [yesha
= deliverance, liberty, prosperity] from him that puffs [puach
= scoffs] at him.
Yeshua came to deliver us from sin and its effects 2000 years ago in fulfillment of this prophecy.
v6 The
words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of
earth, purified seven times.
Stern's
“Complete Jewish Bible” translates “furnace of earth” as
“melting-pot” which first led me to think there might be a
prophetic connection of this psalm with America in the last days.
v7 You
shall keep [them/us], O LORD, you shall preserve [them/us] from this
generation for ever.
Based
upon translation Yahweh will keep His Words forever or He will
preserve His chosen people for ever; both are true.
v8 The
wicked walk on every side, when the vilest [zulluth,
from a root “to shake” = most despicable] men are exalted.
Obama
sat on his hands when the youth of Iran protested against their
maniacally religious government and pleaded for true democracy, but
when other countries sought to oust their dictators in order to
establish Sharia law bent on destroying Israel, then Obama sprang
into action.
I'm sure the debates will be interesting.
