Psalm 95 ~ The ROCK of our Salvation

 

Psalm 95

 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord

    Let us make a joyful noise to The Rock of our Salvation!

2 Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving;

    let us make a joyful noise to Him with Songs of Praise!

3 For the Lord is a great God,

    and a great King above all gods.

4 In His hHand are the depths of the earth;

    the heights of the mountains are His also.

5 The sea is His, for He made it,

    and His Hands formed the dry land.

6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;

    let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!

7 For He is our God,

    and 

we are the people of His Pasture,

    and the sheep of His Hand.

Today, 

if you hear His Voice,

    do not 

harden your hearts, 

as at Meribah,

    as on the day at Massah 

in the wilderness,

9 when your fathers put me to the test

    and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.

10 For forty years I loathed that generation

    and said, 

“They are a people who go astray in their heart,

    and 

they have not known 

My Ways.”

Therefore

I swore in My wrath,

    “They shall not enter My Rest.”

Genesis 41

8 So in the morning his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was none who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “I remember my offenses today.

10 When Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, 11 we dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own interpretation. 12 A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. When we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each man according to his dream. 13 And as he interpreted to us, so it came about. I was restored to my office, and the baker was hanged.”

14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they quickly brought him out of the pit. And when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh.

2 Samuel 7 ~ God Dwells

Mesha Stele, Telle Dan Stele, Papyrus of 7th Century (only one of 3 in this century), confirming the House of David. Apparently, David knew God had told David something of History.

2 Samuel 7

1 Now when the king lived in his house and the LORD had given him rest from all his surrounding enemies, 2 the king said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells in a tent."

3 And Nathan said to the king, "Go, do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you."

4 But that same night the word of the LORD came to Nathan, 5 

"Go and tell my servant David, 

'Thus says the LORD:

 Would you build me a house to dwell in? 6 I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about in a tent for my dwelling. 7 In all places where I have moved with all the people of Israel, did I speak a Word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, 

"Why have you not built me a House of cedar?"'

8 Now, therefore, thus you shall say to my servant David,

 'Thus says the LORD of Hosts, 

I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over My people Israel. 9 And I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth.

10 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel 

and will plant them, 

so that they may dwell in their own place and be disturbed no more. 

And violent men shall afflict them no more, as formerly, 11 from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. 

And I will give you rest from all your enemies.

Moreover, the LORD declares to you

 that 

The LORD will make you a house. 

12 When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, 

I will raise up your offspring after you, 

who shall come from your body, 

and 

I will establish his kingdom. 

13 He shall build a House for My Name, 

and 

I will establish the Throne of his Kingdom forever.

14 I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son. 

When he commits iniquity, I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, 15 but my steadfast love will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. 

16 And your House and your Kingdom shall be made sure 

forever before Me. 

Your Throne shall be established forever.'"

17 In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.

18 Then King David went in and sat before the LORD and said, "Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that You have brought me thus far? 19 And yet this was a small thing in Your Eyes, O Lord GOD.  You have spoken also of your servant's House for a great while to come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord GOD!

20 And what more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord GOD! 21 Because of Your Promise, and according to Your Own Heart, You have brought about all this greatness, to make Your servant know it. 22 Therefore You are great, O LORD God. For there is none like You, and there is no God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23 And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went to redeem to be His people, making Hmself a Name and doing for them great and awesome things by driving out before yYour people, whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, a nation and its gods?

24 And You established for Yourself  Your people Israel to be Your people forever. And You, O LORD, became their God. 25 And now, O LORD God, confirm forever the Word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his House, and do as You have spoken.

26 And Your Name will be magnified forever, saying, 'The LORD of Hosts is God over Israel,' and the House of Your servant David will be established before You.

27 For You, O LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to Your servant, saying, 'I will build you a House.' Therefore Your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to You.

28 And now, O Lord GOD, You are God, and Your Words are true, and You have promised this good thing to your servant.

29 Now therefore may it please You to Bless the House of your servant, so that it may continue forever before You.

For You, O Lord GOD, have spoken,
and with Your Blessing shall the House of Your servant be Blessed forever."

2 Samuel 5 encouraged Professor Eilat Mazar - 2nd Generation Professor of Archaeology at the University of Israel - to find David's Phoenician Palace complete with Phoenician elements. David felt safe in God, not needing the walls of the city. And a Bulla of Jeremiah's servant, Baruch, son of Neriah, (displayed in The Museum of Israel) found biblically placed in the prison of David's Palace.

The Bible just keeps telling us God's Word is Wise.

God's Word is Loving.
Glowing. Shining. Candid. Emotional. Expansive. Explanatory. Historic. Open. Plain. Profuse. Tender. Unconstrained. Warm. Warmhearted.

God's Word is True.
Accurate. Appropriate. Authentic. Correct. Genuine. Honest. Perfect. Proper.

God's Word is Good.

Excellent. Exceptional. Great. Gratifying. Marvelous. Positive. Satisfying. Superb. Valuable. Wonderful. Choice. Pleasing. Sound. Superior. Admirable. Commendable. Honorable. Splendid.
