THE BOOK OF PSALMS

Psalms - Chapter 80 

Psalms 80:1 says, "[[To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of Asaph.]] Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest [between] the cherubims, shine forth." "Shoshannimeduth" means "lilies." "Joseph" means "YAHOVAH has added, increase." "Christ Jesus" is our "Shepherd" and "His sheep" are the "very elect" who hear the "instructions of His Voice through faithful study of His Good Gospel." You are led by Christ Jesus when you study the "Word of Almighty God" praying for the increase of understanding only "Father can give" so that you are able to "rightly divide the word of truth [II Timothy 2:15]. In the "Old Testament" the "Mercy Seat" was a portion of pure gold which sat atop the "Ark of the Covenant between the cherubims" in the "Most Holy place of the Tabernacle and Temple." It symbolized the "Judgment Seat and Throne of Almighty God." The "Tables of Father's Commandments {Manna}" were under the "Mercy Seat." Once a year, on the "Day of Atonement", the high priest sprinkled the blood of a lamb slain upon the "Mercy Seat" for the atonement of the sins of the people of Israel. This shows us that "salvation" comes "by the Blood" because of "Almighty God's great mercy" and not because of our own righteousness which is as "filthy rags [Isaiah 64:6]. With the coming of "Christ Jesus as Messiah", Father God has "bestowed {shine forth} mercy" upon His children by covering our sins with the "Blood of the Lamb slain, Christ Jesus" which was shed on the cross at Calvary. Because of this "Greatest Love of All", when you seek "salvation" through your "faith", "Christ Jesus is the ultimate manifestation of God’s mercy." 

Psalms 80:2 says, "Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come [and] save us." "Before" is better translated "for the sons of." "Ephraim" means "double ash-heap: I shall be doubly fruitful; place of fruitfulness." "Benjamin" means "son of the right hand." "Manasseh" means "causing to forget; deprive." In the "Old Testament" while the children were in the wilderness, these three tribes "protected {saved from harm}" the "Ark of the Covenant; Sanctuary" from the enemies of Almighty God. You are likewise "saved from the enemy; the wicked ones" when you are "within the Sanctuary" which means you have a "spiritual relationship with Father" since our "LORD is the only path" to "Salvation, Refuge and Deliverance" through "Christ Jesus." 

Psalms 80:3 says, "Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved." "Father never turns away or forsakes His children"; His children always turn away or forsake Him. When troubles come their way as a result of this disobedience, they cry out to Father God to hear their plea and answer "favorably {to shine}" to "deliver and give them victory {save}" over their "troubles" by "His grace and mercy." 

Psalms 80:4 says, "O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?" "YAHOVAH {Elohiym Sabaoth; O LORD God of hosts}, Father God Almighty"  is never angry at the prayers offered by His disobedient children, He is angry because those prayers are not coming from hearts that genuinely love Him, wanting to serve and be under His will. Almighty God is not to be sought after as a convenience because you "chose" to "fall away {apostasy}" from Him. When you do not truly have a heart of love and obedience for and towards Almighty God, He knows, as you do, that your prayers are insincere and should He lift you up from your troubles, you will forsake Him once again and continue on with your life, your way, until the next time. "Father responds" when His children come to Him with love, confession and repentance in their hearts, asking for help in the "Name of Christ Jesus." When Father extends "His grace and mercy and helps you", He expects you to ask, seek and knock so that you are in His service and under His will. You must seek Father God from a pure heart of love since "He will not intercede in the lives of those under free will [Romans - Chapter 8]" unless they ask Him to. Father will however intercede in the lives of His very elect if they stumble from a righteous path wherein they are not fulfilling their purpose as ordained by Father God as is taught in Romans 8:26 - 30 &  Ephesians - Chapter 1.  

Psalms 80:5 says, "Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure." There is spiritual "moaning {tears}" and misery brought on by yourself, not by Almighty God, when you "fall away {apostasy}" from Him which means you are "outside of the Sanctuary." When you "chose" to be disobedient, you will not have a spiritual relationship with Father. If you turn away from the ways of the world and "enter or return to the Sanctuary", you can partake of the "Bread of Life and Living Water who is Christ Jesus, our Living Word." 

Psalms 80:6 says, "Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves." When you continually "chose" to "fall away" from Almighty God's love, the enemies of our LORD will draw you into their religious and worldly wickedness; enjoying and mocking the misery and conflict this choice brings to your spiritual life.  

Psalms 80:7 says, "Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved." Father God is always ready to receive His children who "enter or return to the Sanctuary" wherein you have a spiritual relationship with Him. If you want to be "delivered from satan as the anti-christ who shall greatly trouble humanity", seek "Father through Christ Jesus, our Living Word who is the way to victory by the grace and mercy of Almighty God." 

Psalms 80:8 says, "Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it." Father God, through "Christ Jesus {root}", gives "His children {vine}" a way of escape from satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false anti-christ to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to humanity. If you do not want to be in bondage to the deception of satan wherein you believe he is our True Christ, study Father's Word and ask for that increase of understanding only our LORD can give so you do not believe the false doctrines and teachings of the kenites who sit at the helm of "churches of Beth-aven." Understanding the "Good Gospel" will bless you to "stand" against the fiery darts of satan when he sits his vile self in Jerusalem with great deception, until "Christ Jesus returns to this earth as King of kings and Lord of lords." 

Psalms 80:9 says, "Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land." To be kept from the deception of satan as the anti-christ, it is necessary to be spiritually "rooted in Christ Jesus [Revelation 22:16]" who is the "Truth of Father's Word" as is taught in the "Parable of the Sower [Mark - Chapter 13]." The "Parable of the Sower" concerns a sower who scatters seed, which falls on four different types of ground spiritually speaking. The "Word of our Father" is compared to a "seed {truth}" planted in the "earth {mind}" of people. The first teaches of seeds "planted by the wayside [Mark 4:15]" meaning those who are spiritually dead since they have no understanding of Father's Word. The second teaches of seeds "planted on stony ground {Mark 4:16 & 17]" meaning those who profess to delight in Father's Word, however when trouble arises their faith is quickly shaken. The third teaches of seeds planted "amongst thorns [Mark 4:18 & 19]" meaning those who believe in the any moment, fly away, rapture of the churches, confident their religious beliefs are without blemish, which gives them time to lust after worldly delights. The forth teaches of seeds planted on "good ground [Mark 4:20]" meaning those who hear, understand, and receive "Father's Word" with gladness. These are the "very elect" who withstood satan’s rebellion and overthrow in the Spiritual or First Earth Age and will "stand" with Father God once again in this Flesh or Second Earth Age. Until that time, the very elect receive and understand the "Truth of Almighty God's Word by the blessing of His Holy Spirit" and share that truth with those "by the wayside, those on stony ground and those amongst the thorns", praying they will ask, seek and knock for the increase of understanding only our Father can give.    

Psalms 80:10 says, "The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof [were like] the goodly cedars." Psalms 80:11 says, "She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river." "Christ Jesus is the Vine" and "humanity is the branches" as is taught in John 15:5 which says, "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." When "Christ Jesus {Vine}" instructs "you {branch}" with the "Truth of the Good Gospel" you become spiritually productive as our Lord instills within you the power to defeat wickedness as you accomplish "spiritual understanding and works for Almighty God." A tree does not hide its apples and peaches since they are clearly visible. Christ Jesus is teaching that you should be as a tree branch, the fruit of your teaching and sharing of truth clearly visible. Your spirituality should show the effects of Christ Jesus living within you as you are guided by the "Holy Spirit of Almighty God" which comes from faithful study of His Word, as you plant seeds of truth wherever they may be heard. 

Psalms 80:12 says, "Why hast thou [then] broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?" Father is your "spiritual wall of protection" when you are in His service  and under His will, producing fruit, which are works that spread "His Good Gospel" wherever there are eyes that see and ears that hear. When Father opens your eyes to the truth of His Word and you continue in faithful study, laboring for Almighty God as you plant seeds of truth, He will never forsake you and will bless you abundantly. To "whom {very elect}" Father God has given much, He expects much as is taught in Luke 12:48. If however, you turn your back, fall away and forsake Father God for any reason; our LORD will turn His back on you and allow satan as the anti-christ to "gather {pluck}" you up so that you will bow down and worship his deception.  

Psalms 80:13 says, "The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it." When you are "outside of the Sanctuary" you are not protected by "Father's spiritual wall of protection {His Word}" and your mind becomes as a barren wasteland as is taught in Amos 8:11 which says, "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:" When your  mind is void of the "Truth of Almighty God's Word", you are ripe for the deception of the "beast who is satan" who shall be cast to this earth with his one world religious system seeking to "consume {devour}" and cause spiritual desolation within the minds of all those "outside of the Sanctuary" as is taught in Revelation - Chapter 9. 

Psalms 80:14 says, "Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;" "YAHOVAH {Elohiym Sabaoth; O LORD God of hosts}, Father God Almighty" is always ready to receive His children who "enter or return to the Sanctuary." If you want to be "delivered from satan as the anti-christ who shall be great trouble when he is cast to this earth", seek "Father God as you remember Christ Jesus is the Vine" which is the "source and sustenance {Good Gospel} the branches, who is humanity" must abide in to be "within the Sanctuary" wherein you have a "spiritual relationship with Father God and you are obedient to His Word." Almighty God does not have to "turn back {return}" to His children because He never left them; it is His children who have to "turn back {return}" to our LORD. 

Psalms 80:15 says, "And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch [that] thou madest strong for thyself." "Christ Jesus is The Root" of the "vineyard who is His children" who hear His voice and are obedient to His Word. Our "Lord Jesus Christ {Intercessor for humanity} sits at the Right Hand of Almighty God in Heaven" and "He is The Branch of Almighty God" as is taught in Zechariah 6:12 & 13 which says, "And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:" "Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both." "The temple of the LORD" is the "many-membered Body of Christ Jesus" and our Lord shall rule over "His Millennial Kingdom" when "He returns to this earth as King of kings and Lord of lords."   

Psalms 80:16 says, " [It is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance." This is teaching of our "Vine who is Christ Jesus" and the "branch who is His children [John 15:1 & 2]." If you have no understanding of Father's Word within your mind it is impossible to teach truth, therefore you are of no use to our Father when it comes to planting seeds and sharing His Word. Therefore our LORD will prune you from "His Vineyard {many-membered Body of Christ Jesus}" because you are as dead wood so to speak, which means you serve no purpose in the furtherance of "His Good Gospel." After the Millennial Kingdom teaching, at the time of the "Great White Throne Judgment" our Father God will likewise prune and consume all who are unfit for "His Kingdom [Revelation - Chapter 20]. 

Psalms 80:17 says, "Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man [whom] thou madest strong for thyself." Our "Lord Jesus Christ sits at the Right Hand of Almighty God in Heaven." "Christ Jesus is the Son of man {humanity}; Emmanuel" which means "God with us" and "He holds all Authority and Power" including "Victory over death who is satan." 

Psalms 80:18 says, "So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name." Father God will return to His children who obediently "return or enter into the Sanctuary" where their spiritual selves will become "alive, restored {quicken us} through Christ Jesus our Living Word" so they may be a part of the Eternal Kingdom. 

Psalms 80:19 says, "Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved." "Father God" is always ready to receive His children who "enter or return to the Sanctuary" wherein you have a spiritual relationship with Him. If you want to be "delivered {saved} from satan as the anti-christ when he is cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to humanity", seek "YAHOVAH {Elohiym Sabaoth; O LORD God of hosts}, Father God Almighty" through "Yeshua, Christ Jesus, our Living Word who is the Way to Victory by His Grace, Mercy, Power, Might and Deliverance."
