THE BOOK OF PSALMS


Psalms - Chapter 75 

Psalms 75:1 says, "[[To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.]] Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare." "Chief Musician" means "to excel, be bright, be preeminent, be perpetual, be overseer, be enduring - to He who has the victory, to He who gives the victory - Father God Almighty through Christ Jesus." "Psalm" means "meditation." "Altaschith" means "Do not destroy." "Asaph" means gatherer; to gather in." "Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks" is emphasized twice, acknowledging Almighty God with "thanksgiving and praise, celebrating His marvelous love for His children for the Gift that is offered through 'Yeshua {YAHOVAH'S Savior} Christ Jesus' who offers freedom to come before 'YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty's' Throne." All of Father's love, grace, mercy, guidance and instruction to His children are wonderful since it leads up to the "Day of Judgment" when the righteous shall see the wicked receive their correction or destruction.   

Psalms 75:2 says, "When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly." Father God is letting His children know that "at the set time {I will judge}" the righteous and the unrighteous shall receive on the "Day of Judgment" exactly what they deserve. The very elect shall receive their due rewards for serving and being under the will of Almighty God, which is an "Eternal blessing." As for the wicked who now feel that they are pulling the wool over our Father's eyes so to speak as they ridicule our LORD and perpetrate evil against Him, they too will receive that which is due to them as well. Galatians 6:7 says, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." 

Psalms 75:3 says, "The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah." "The set time of Judgment" shall be after this dispensation of the Flesh or Second Earth Age dissipates with the coming of "Christ Jesus, as the Seventh Trumpet sounds, as King of kings and Lord of lords [I Corinthians 15:50 - 58]." When our Lord returns to this earth at the "Second Advent" all flesh shall be changed to their spiritual bodies; immortal and mortal souls. "Selah" means "stop and meditate on what has just been taught, that set time of Judgment and connect it with the actual Day of Judgment which shall affect both the righteous and the wicked." 

***  I Corinthians 15:50 says, "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." There is no way for any of humanity to enter into the dimension of our Father God in Heaven unless the flesh body passes away. When that happens, your spiritual body awakens and rises up to the dimension in which our Father God resides. 

I Corinthians 15:51 says, "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed," Not all of humanity shall pass away in the flesh since there will be many people living throughout the whole earth when "Christ Jesus returns as King of kings and Lord of lords." However when our Lord's feet touch Zion, all flesh shall take on their spiritual bodies. Romans 14:11 says, "For it is written, [As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." It is impossible to be in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ within your flesh body. 

I Corinthians 15:52 says, "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." When that "Seventh Trumpet" sounds, Christ Jesus returning to this earth, all corruptible flesh bodies shall be shed and their incorruptible spiritual bodies shall be awakened. "Corruption" is the "flesh body {terrestrial}" and "incorruption" is the "the spiritual body {celestial}" which shall not perish, grow old or wither." 

I Corinthians 15:53 says, "For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality." All those living in the flesh will most certainly shed their flesh bodies and their spiritual bodies shall awaken when Christ Jesus returns, however not all will have an "immortal {everlasting} soul." Any who bowed a knee to satan believing him to be our True Christ here to rapture them away, and did not know our Lord Jesus Christ until seeing Him return, although they will have a spiritual body, they will also possess a "mortal {liable to die} soul." Only the "very elect" and "those {elect}" who shall recognize satan for who he is "before" seeing our True Christ return will have both a spiritual body and immortal soul; this is the "First Resurrection [Revelation - Chapter 20 {Verses 5 & 6]." It is because of those who played church and allowed themselves to be deceived by the wicked and Biblically illiterate teachers that our Father God, loving His children so much, blessed them with the Millennial Kingdom teaching so they have the opportunity to come to the knowledge of the truth and overcome through the "Second Resurrection [Revelation - Chapter 20 {Verse 7]" when satan is loosed for a short time after the one thousand year teaching. If you are not ignorant of our Father's Word, this teaching should dispel the fly away, any moment, rapture lies taught by the Biblically illiterate who use "I Thessalonians - Chapter 4 {Verses 13 - 18}" for this lie they are teaching. The "true subject of this teaching" is "where are the dead and why those who have passed away are with Christ Jesus when He returns."  

I Corinthians 15:54 says, "So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." When your flesh body shall be transformed to your spiritual body and your liable to die soul shall take on your everlasting soul, the purpose for which Christ Jesus was born from above and sacrificed on that cross at Calvary has been accomplished. "Death" who is "satan" shall be "swallowed up in victory {Christ Jesus}" as he becomes ashes from within which means he shall no longer exist [Isaiah 25:7 & 8]. 

I Corinthians 15:55 says, "O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory?" Death, who is satan, has no victory since Christ Jesus defeated him on that cross at Calvary. Hosea 13:14 says, "I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes." Father God is saying He is definitely going to destroy death, who is satan. Also, any who after the Millennial Kingdom teaching, when satan is loosed for that short time, decide to follow him, that will be "death of their soul {Second Resurrection}" as well.  

I Corinthians 15:56 says, "The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law." "Sting" means "to offer vain and perilous or ruinous resistance." "Strength" means "moral power and excellence of soul; abundance." The law, "Father's Commandments and His Holy Word", let us know when we have sinned and "repentance is offered through Christ Jesus." Therefore, the "Law is Good" and people are wicked when they do not follow the "Law", therefore you want to understand Father's Word so you know when you have broken the "Commandments of Father God Almighty and come before His Throne to seek forgiveness in the Name of Christ Jesus."  

I Corinthians 15:57 says, "But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." There is only one way to overcome the flaws of our flesh beings, the sinful nature within us, and that is through "Yeshua, Christ Jesus who now sits at the Right Hand of Father God in Heaven, as our Intercessor." "Salvation and Anointing" comes to all of humanity from our "Father God through Christ Jesus." 

I Corinthians 15:58 says, "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." When you live your life centered on Father God Almighty, doing His will, being a part of His Perfect Plan, having that veil of protection, you are blessed. All the works accomplished for our Father God is the garb, that fine linen of your robe worn in the "Heaven or Third Earth Age [Revelation - Chapter 19]." There is only one thing you take to the Heavenly Age and that is your "righteous acts {works}" as is taught in Revelation 14:13. There are bountiful blessings when you study to show yourself approved, are a part of the "Perfect Plan and stand" for "YAHOVAH Father God Almighty."   *** 

Psalms 75:4 says, "I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:" Father God, through "His Word" has said to the "stupid {fools}" ones who are Biblically illiterate calling themselves christians that they should not act "recklessly {foolishly}" and to the "kenites {wicked}" that they should not lift up "satan {horn}" who is the "little horn of power" taught of in Daniel 7:8 which says, "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 things." This is a "warning from Father God" to not lift up satan to power when he is cast to this earth as the first/false anti-christ by bowing down and worshipping him because you are deceived into believing he is our "True Christ Jesus." 

Psalms 75:5 says, "Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck." Father is telling humanity "not to lift satan up to power {horn}" when he is cast to this earth, speaking with an "arrogant {stiff neck}" tongue of deception that he is our "Most High Father God Almighty." II Thessalonians 2:4 says, "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." 

Psalms 75:6 says, "For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south." The "north side" is left out since that is where, from the "North Side of Zion" that "Father's Throne" shall be established when He returns to this earth after the Millennial Kingdom teaching. Christ Jesus shall cleanse "Jerusalem" when He returns to this earth as "King of kings and Lord of lords" since satan will have defiled "Father's favorite place" when he "exalts {promotion}" himself from that location when he is cast to earth as the first/false anti-christ as is taught in Isaiah 14:12 & 14 which says, "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!" "For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:" "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High." 

Psalms 75:7 says, "But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another." Know for certainty that "Father God is our Vindicator of Justice" as he sets satan down, locking him in a pit for one thousand years, and lifting up "Christ Jesus as King of kings and Lord of lords" who shall reign over the "Millennial Kingdom {one thousand years}" teaching. 

Psalms 75:8 says, "For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them." This is that "cup of wrath" you do not want to drink of since it is the "cup of Father's anger" that shall be poured out against the wicked. Those who drink the "dregs of this cup" shall be satan and all those who worship this beast when he sits his vile self in Jerusalem claiming to be Christ Jesus. Revelation 14:9 & 10 says, "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand," "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:" 

Psalms 75:9 says, "But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob." "Magnify our LORD God Almighty" for "His Promise" of "Deliverance who is Christ Jesus" for His obedient children. "To He who has the victory, to He who gives the victory, YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty" has promised to never leave or forsake His children since He is our "stronghold, protection, confidence {refuge} and deliverance" through "Yeshua, Christ Jesus our King of kings and Lord of lords" who is "the Way, the Path and the Truth to the Light of Eternal Life."  

Psalms 75:10 says, "All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted." As that "Seventh Trumpet" sounds, "YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty" has "Promised" that the "power {horns}" of the influence of satan and his entourage shall be "hewn down {will I cut off}" by "Yeshua, Christ Jesus as King of kings and Lord of lords." As that "Seventh Trumpet" sounds, "YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty" has "Promised" that the "strength {horns}" of the very elect shall be "uplifted {exalted}" for humbling themselves before Him in "His service and under His will", taking a "stand" against the wicked until "Yeshua, Christ Jesus returns as King of kings and Lord of lords."

THE BOOK OF PSALMS

Psalms - Chapter 74 

Psalms 74:1 says, "[[Maschil of Asaph.]] O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?" "Maschil" means "to be prudent, wisely understand." "Asaph" means "gatherer; to gather in." Father God becomes angry when His enemies and His Biblically illiterate children enter into "His sanctuary" teaching and accepting false doctrines and traditions of men. Matthew 23:1 & 2 says, "Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples," "Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:" Those calling themselves christians are so ignorant of the truth of our Father's Word that they cannot identify His enemies by their blasphemous teachings. The "church {pasture}" is where Father's "children {sheep}" are to be "taught {fed}" the "Truth of His Word", yet congregations sit in ignorance as "Houses of Beth-el {Christ Jesus our Living Word}" are taken over by the wicked, becoming "houses of Beth-aven {nothingness; babble and confusion; of satan}." 

Psalms 74:2 says, "Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt." "Rod" means "tribe." "Redeemed" means "to deliver by payment." Humanity is delivered since the debt for our sins was paid by the "Blood of Christ Jesus on the cross at Calvary; Emanuel {God with us}." "The rod of thine inheritance" means "Christ Jesus shall reign and rule over the Millennial Kingdom teaching" which shall be in "Jerusalem" when He returns as "King of kings and Lord of lords." "Zion" is "Jerusalem, Father God's most favorite place within the universe [Ezekiel 16:8]."  This is where Father shall establish "His Throne in the Eternity" as is taught in Revelation - Chapters 21 & 22. This prayer from the very elect is asking Almighty God to "Remember thy congregation" which means "His children created during the Spiritual or First Earth Age who stood with Him against the rebellion of satan", as we now live in this Flesh of Second Earth Age, for deliverance. 

Psalms 74:3 says, "Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary." Asking Almighty God to "lift up thy feet" is a prayer that our LORD, as an act of love, will hasten to rise up and thrust the wicked from "His sanctuary" where false doctrines are being taught such as the rapture and easter, a pagan holiday, instead of "Passover." The very elect are likewise asking Father God, who heard and answered, to thrust satan, when he is cast to this earth as the first/false anti-christ, from Jerusalem where he shall sit deceiving most of humanity into believing he is our True Christ, quickly. Father God shortened the time of the desolation of the "desolator who is satan" from three and one half years to five months as is taught in Mark 13:20 & Revelation 9:5. Revelation 11:3 says, "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." This is the three and a half year period Father God has shortened to five months for the sake of His very elect.

Psalms 74:4 says, "Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs." The wicked ignore "Father's Ensign" who is "Christ Jesus our Living Word" and establish their own false religion which is one of the four hidden dynasties [economics, education, politics, religion]. They teach the congregations the babble and confusion of satan which keeps their eyes blinded to truth and ready for the deception of satan. 

Psalms 74:5 says, "A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees." Psalms 74:6 says, "But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers." "A man was famous" is speaking of the "the very elect, chosen to teach the truth of our Father's Word" which builds up "the sanctuary of Almighty God." This "Good Gospel" keeps the "many-membered Body of Christ Jesus" flourishing with teachings that bring about knowledge with understanding. The kenites who are false preachers and teachers have infiltrated the "true sanctuary", knowing that the end of this generation is near, paving the way for their father satan. They do not enter into "Father's sanctuary" through the front door with truth; rather they attack through back door entrance with false teachings, lies and deception that looks holy. The "carved work" they discard with their deceitful teachings are the "Words of Instruction that Teach the Truth of Father's Good Gospel" which shall keep you from being deceived by satan, the anti-christ. Father God hates "A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren [Proverbs 6:16 - 19]." 

Psalms 74:7 says, "They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground." The wicked now and the wicked one to come who is satan, have and shall cast the "sanctuary {Father's Word}" into "destruction {fire}" as they "pollute {defiled}" our "LORD'S Houses of Beth-el and His most favorite place, Jerusalem" with their blasphemous teachings. The vile one who is satan, seeks to cast down and bring about desolation to "Father's Temple wherein lies His Shekinah {YAH has dwelt} Glory" which is in Jerusalem where our LORD shall sit upon "His Throne throughout the Eternity." 

Psalms 74:8 says, "They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land." The wicked seek to "suppress {destroy}" the truth of Father's Word which is taught by the "very elect {them}." The enemies of our Father want the souls of the very elect to be destroyed and this is why, when teaching "His Word", you do not collaborate with the wicked since they seek your eternal destruction. While the wicked cannot deceive the minds of the very elect, they can mislead those calling themselves christians with their theatrics of religious look so holy folly causing "Houses of Beth-el" where "Truth should be taught Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse" to be become "houses of Beth-aven" where "nothingness" is taught. 

Psalms 74:9 says, "We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long." The enemies of our Father God do not "learn about {see}" nor teach the "truth {signs}" of our Father's Word since they have rejected our "Lord Jesus Christ who is our Living Word." Though there are no prophets as we now live since they were in times of old, the "Prophecies and Promises of Father God" have been penned through those prophets by the blessings of "His Holy Spirit" in the "Old and New Testaments" of the "Holy Bible." If you do not study to show yourself approved, rightly dividing truth for understanding, you are likewise rejecting Christ Jesus since it is "necessary" to know the signs that lead up to "His Coming as King of kings and Lord of lords." There are many in those "houses of Beth-aven" who lie and say they are prophets and Father lets you know how He feels about them in  Isaiah 29:10 which says, "For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered." If you continue to study the Verses of that Chapter, you will come to understand just how unlearned in Father's Word they are since their knowledge is of the precepts of men and not of Almighty God. 

Psalms 74:10 says, "O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?" "Reproach" means to "blaspheme or defy." How long will Father God allow satan to deceive most of humanity is what is being asked. The answer is in Father's Word since it teaches that satan will continue to blaspheme Father until the last Verse of Revelation - Chapter 20 comes to pass.  At that time satan shall become ashes from within which is death of his very soul.  

Psalms 74:11 says, "Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom." How long Father God will You listen to the blasphemy of satan from the sanctuary is what is being asked. The answer again is within our Father's Word. "Christ Jesus now sits at the Right Hand of Almighty God" and when that "Seventh Trumpet" sounds, our Lord Jesus Christ shall "leave His Throne in Heaven {right hand? pluck it out}", returning to this earth as "King of kings and Lord of lords." At that time, satan shall be locked in a pit for one thousand years which is the time of the Millennial Kingdom teaching. After this teaching, he shall be loosed for a short time before becoming ashes from within. 

Psalms 74:12 says, "For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth." "Father God was our King in the Spiritual or First Earth Age" is our "King in this Flesh or Second Earth Age" and "shall be our King in the Spiritual or Third Earth Age" which is the "Eternity." Father God brings about "deliverance {salvation}" for humanity through "Christ Jesus." 

Psalms 74:13 says, "Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters." "Thou" is "Father God" who "divided the sea" when Moses was leading the children from the bondage of the Egyptians, parting the "Red Sea for their escape on dry land", the waters collapsing back to its natural order, destroying the armies of Pharaoh when they tried to cross. Just as Father God "destroyed {brakest}" His enemies at that time, He shall destroy the "dragon" at the appointed time in this generation.  That "dragon" is 'satan" as is taught in Revelation 12:7 and the "waters" is the "flood of his lies of deception" as is taught in Revelation 12:15 that cause Father's children to be in bondage. Just as Father delivered His children in the past, He shall likewise deliver them in the future; this generation.  

Psalms 74:14 says, "Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness." "Thou" is "Father God" who shall "destroy {brakest}" the "leviathan" which is another name for "satan." This destruction of satan shall come about when Christ Jesus returns to this earth at the sounding of the "Seventh Trumpet" which is the "Second Advent" as "King of kings and Lord of lords." 

Psalms 74:15 says, "Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers." "Thou" is "Father God" who shall lead His children to the "the living fountains of water" which is spiritual nourishment for your soul received from "Christ Jesus who is our Living Water." Drink of the truth of our Father's Word so that you may be led and delivered from the deception of satan as this Flesh or Second Earth Age comes to its end. 

Psalms 74:16 says, "The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun." Psalms 74:17 says, "Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter." Humble yourself before our "Father God Almighty who created all things of Heaven and earth." Recognize the "Power and Might of our LORD" who separated light from darkness, setting the sun in the sky and separating the waters from dry land, summer and winter never ceasing as our LORD has arranged the earth according to "His Authority." Thank "Almighty God who is Awesome" for "His deliverance" that is to come from that ole dragon when you walk in the "Light who is Christ Jesus." 

Psalms 74:18 says, "Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name." Remind Father God how satan and his wicked children have "blasphemed, defied and scoffed at {reproached}" His Word. 

Psalms 74:19 says, "O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever." Ask Father God to keep His "very elect {turtledove}" from satan and his entourage when they defile "His sanctuary" with their doctrines, traditions and precepts of religious babble. Father will not fail to remember any of His children who adhere to the instructions of His Word. Our LORD never turns His back on His children; it is His children who turn their backs on Almighty God. 

Psalms 74:20 says, "Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty." Father God is "Faithful and True to His Promises" and the very elect knowing this, should always encourage His children who are "in the sanctuary" to not allow the wicked to have charge over them. "Deception, false teachings, ill-gotten gain and violence {dark places}" are a part of the wicked and when they are defiling the sanctuary with this wickedness, it keeps the minds of the congregations distracted from what "thus saith our LORD." Teaching, receiving, and accepting the "Truth of Father's Word" is the only way to keep from being deceived by the kenites now and when satan sits his vile self in the sanctuary of Almighty God in his pretense of being our True Christ. 

Psalms 74:21 says, "O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name." Those who are "humble {very elect}" and "stand on the Rock of our Foundation who is Christ Jesus" until He returns shall be exalted and the "arrogant {satan and his entourage}" ones shall be brought low. Matthew 23:12 says, "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted." When planting seeds of truth and teaching Almighty God's Word, pray that Father will bless you with "His Holy Spirit" so that which you speak or pen is not your truths that draw those "drinking milk into the meat {spiritually speaking} of Father's Word", rather "His Good Gospel" so that our "LORD is always glorified." 

Psalms 74:22 says, "Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily." The "stupid person {foolish man}" scoffs at our Father's Word and our LORD shall surely show "His Power and Might {Arise}" against them on the "Day of Judgment." 

Psalms 74:23 says, "Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually." "YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty" will not forget the blasphemous words the wicked speak against Him, nor will He forget the "uproar of the devastating deception {tumult}" perpetrated by His enemies. They shall be brought very low when "Yeshua, Christ Jesus returns as King of kings and Lord of lords."

THE BOOK OF PSALMS

Psalms - Chapter 73 

Psalms 73:1 says, "[[A Psalm of Asaph.]] Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart." "Asaph" means "gatherer; to gather in." Father God extends "mercy and kindness {good}" to His "upright children {Israel}" who study His Word and do their very best to live their life with a "pure {clean}" heart and according to "His Good Gospel." Matthew 5:8 says, "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." 

Psalms 73:2 says, "But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped." "Gone" means "a moral deflection; to thrust aside or away, pervert." When you do not study our Father's Word, you are "outside of His sanctuary of truth" and this will cause you to become more aware of the worldly things and happenings all around you. Awareness of the things of this world can cause you to become distracted and keep you from Father's Word, which is a huge mistake since it can cause you to lose your spiritual footing.  

Psalms 73:3 says, "For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked." "Envious" means "angered; provoke jealous anger." When you take your eyes off of Father God and put them on the world, you will surely observe the fact that the wicked are prosperous. It will cause you to become angry and/or distracted when you observe the prosperity and arrogance of the wicked as well as what they do and accomplish with their ill-gotten gain. This is a teaching about what can cause an upright one to slip and fall away from Almighty God. The wicked ones are fools who "do not" have a relationship with our Father so why even waste your anger on their sinful success.  Proverbs 1:7 says, "The fear {love, reverence} of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." 

Psalms 73:4 says, "For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm." "Bands" means "labor pangs." This is to say that the godless have no pain, rather sound, strong physical health. Because the wicked have prosperity, they have the means of attending to their addictions and medical problems without issue; receiving the best of care. If their insurance stops paying for services they seek; no problem since they can use their own cold, hard, ill-gotten cash. Spiritually, they are sicker than they can even begin to imagine and they are foolish since they are not seeking our "Great Physician who is Christ Jesus." 

Psalms 73:5 says, "They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men." Because of the prosperity of the wicked, they just skip through life without common difficulties. They seem to have no worries since they have fat bank accounts and plush lifestyles, while the upright seem to have abundant problems trying to just survive in this evil world. You want to keep in mind that the world and the wicked are being observed from the viewpoint of the flesh mind, "outside of the sanctuary" which means not from a spiritual mind. 

Psalms 73:6 says, "Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment." The wicked wear their arrogance and pride around their necks like a thick, gold chain as they flaunt with insolence their ill-gotten gain for all to see.

Psalms 73:7 says, "Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish." The eyes are the window or mirror to the soul and you can see the eyes of the wicked bulge because of their prosperity, highlighted with arrogance. They have more wickedness within them than any spiritual mind could ever imagine. 

Psalms 73:8 says, "They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily." The wicked, proud of the evil scheming they devise to ensnare, place themselves on a pedestal and look down on everyone else as they look at their own iniquity as something to be proud of.  

Psalms 73:9 says, "They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth." The wicked even look down on our Father God Almighty and the sacred things of our LORD. They blaspheme the truth of our Father's Word and encourage the doctrines and traditions of men. 

Psalms 73:10 says, "Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them." The wicked are speaking to Father's upright children saying "take {drink}" what we are giving you through the four hidden dynasties [economics, education, politics and religion] since they know this usury binds you to their control, keeping you thirsty and from going into the "sanctuary of Father God." The wicked want Father's upright children to come to them to drink whatever they offer them as a replacement for our "Living Water, which keeps you from ever being thirsty, who is Christ Jesus wherein lies Eternal Life."  

 Psalms 73:11 says, "And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?" The agnostics say our "Most High {Elohim} YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty who is Creator and Possessor of Heaven and Earth" does not know anything nor see anything they are doing, and even if our LORD does see them, He does not care. There is nothing that happens upon this earth that our Father God does not see, know and care about. There are no secrets and there is nothing hidden from our LORD. You are abundantly blessed when you are "In the sanctuary" and not outside of the sanctuary.

Psalms 73:12 says, "Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches." The wicked do not prosper with our Heavenly Father; rather they prosper in the ways of the world and earthly riches are short-lived. Matthew 19:24 says, "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." The wicked have to give up their ill-gotten gain, "love our Father God", confess their sins and repent in the "Name of Christ Jesus" to be worthy to enter into the "Kingdom of Almighty God." 

Psalms 73:13 says, "Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency." The wicked say the upright justify and repent without cause since they are observing what is going on outside of the sanctuary when they should be focused on what is going on "within the sanctuary" so they are not distracted by the ill-gotten accomplishments of the wicked since this brings about envy.   

Psalms 73:14 says, "For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning." Every morning you wake up, nothing has changed outside of the sanctuary. There is no love, peace or happiness. There is unrest, anger and frustration all around you. This is what is felt when you take your eyes off of Almighty God which means you are not "within His sanctuary." 

Psalms 73:15 says, "If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children." If you think as the wicked, you will deal treacherously with Father's children because you will begin to speak as the wicked speak. 

Psalms 73:16 says, "When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;" If you keep thinking about what is going on outside of the sanctuary and thinking about what is happening inside of the sanctuary, you become involved in a riddle that brings about frustration and vexation within yourself.  

Psalms 73:17 says, "Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end." When you walk away from the wickedness of the world and enter "into the sanctuary of Almighty God which is faithful study with understanding of His Good Gospel {Christ Jesus}", you come to "understand {the riddle solved}" that although it may appear the wicked are prosperous, they are truly walking on an unrighteous path that shall be their destruction. Keep your heart and mind "within the sanctuary of Almighty God" so you are not distracted by the ways of the world. Study the "Word of our Father God", asking, seeking and knocking for that increase of understanding only our LORD can give so that you are a part of the "Many-Membered Body of Christ Jesus" wherein lies your rest, peace, assurance, blessings and happiness.  

Psalms 73:18 says, "Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction." The wicked are on slippery ground which means they are not standing on the "Rock of our Foundation who is Christ Jesus." They are so caught up in their ill-gotten gain, arrogance and pride that they are not seeing their own destruction that is at hand. When Father God sits upon "His Throne of Judgment", justice shall be handed down upon the wicked for all of their evil deeds perpetrated while they walked within their flesh bodies.
 
Psalms 73:19 says, "How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors." Father's Word is a witness unto itself as we learned from Psalms - Chapter 37. Verse 7 says, "Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass." Do not worry or be concerned about those who are "outside of the sanctuary" since they shall be as those blades of grass cut from their stems which blow away and disappear, so shall the wicked be blotted out, becoming ashes from within. Verse 20 says, "But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away." The wicked shall perish as the fat from meat that is on a grill that drips into the fires of the coals as it diminishes into smoke and disappears. This is why our Father does not want His children to "become angry, troubled or vexed" because of them. Just as there are no tears for the fat that drips from a piece of meat off the grill and disappears, there will be no tears for the wicked when they disappear as is taught in Revelation 21:4 since they chose to remain "outside of the sanctuary." Verse 34 says, "Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it." Father's chosen children shall witness the demise of the wicked as they become ashes from within during the time of the "Great White Throne Judgment" as is taught in Revelation - Chapter 20. 

Psalms 73:20 says, "As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image." While the wicked are dreaming at night of ways to do harm, our LORD is observing their deeds and shall "arise {awakest}" at the appointed time for "Judgment" against them, holding them in "contempt {despise}" for their "heathen {their image}" behaviors while they walked within the flesh. 

Psalms 73:21 says, "Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins." "Grieved" means "to be sour." When you are "outside of the sanctuary" observing the worldly with earthly eyes, your "inner self {heart} becomes bitter with sympathy when you think about the demise of the wicked since you are not studying Father's Word to show yourself approved, rightly dividing truth wherein there is understanding. "Father's Plan is Perfect" and all of humanity will receive the judgment they deserve. "In my reins" means "within my mind." When you are "outside of the sanctuary" it brings about feelings of unhappiness since you have no peace or rest within your mind. Joy, peace and rest comes by, from and through "Christ Jesus, our Living Word {in the Sanctuary}." To observe satan and all souls who continue to follow him after the Millennial Kingdom teaching become ashes from within during the time of "Judgment", is a joy my soul looks forward to witnessing. It is impossible for me to have sympathy for those who crucified my "Lord Jesus Christ who is Father God Almighty Himself in the Flesh" if they do not have a change of heart towards Father and Christ Jesus before the Millennial Kingdom teaching comes to its end. Father's love for His wicked children is so great that He gives them one thousand years, under the teaching of Christ Jesus to have that change of heart, declaring love for our LORD from a pure heart of thanksgiving so they may be saved. 

Psalms 73:22 says, "So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee." You think, feel and become "stupid {foolish}" as an animal since they are not able to acquire knowledge of Father's Word as a person is because you are "outside of the sanctuary." Ignorance, discontentment and foolishness will dissipate when you "enter into the sanctuary", seeking the truth of our Father's Word. 

Psalms 73:23 says, "Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand." Once you "enter into the sanctuary", should you lose your footing and begin to slip, "Christ Jesus who sits at the Right Hand of His Father in Heaven", shall extend "His Hand {Good Gospel}" and lift you up before you fall, when you ask, seek and knock. 

Psalms 73:24 says, "Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory." When you study Father's Word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, you are receiving "direction, guidance and instruction {counsel}" straight from "Almighty God through our Living Word who is Christ Jesus, His Holy Spirit" and from the prophets and disciples who were inspired to pen "the Word of our Heavenly Father." "Pleasing Father God" through faithful study of His Word, "standing on the Rock of our Foundation who is Christ Jesus", is the way to "Eternal Life {glory}." 

Psalms 73:25 says, "Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee." There is no other in Heaven or upon the face of this earth that "anyone in the sanctuary" delights in to be their "Counselor" except for "Father God Almighty Himself, Creator of Heaven and Earth."  

Psalms 73:26 says, "My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever." The flesh is "weak {faileth}" therefore our "LORD" through the "Rock {strength} of our Salvation and Deliverance who is Christ Jesus" keeps you from spiritual destruction when you are near to Him,  taking on the whole armor of Almighty God, which is "His Word; Father's Good Gospel." When you are under the will and in the service of our LORD, "He is your Possession {portion}" throughout the "Eternity" as is taught in Ezekiel 44:28. 

Psalms 73:27 says, "For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee." All souls who "chose" to be a "harlot {whoring}" for satan when he is loosed for that short season after the Millennial Kingdom teaching [Revelation - Chapter 20] shall become ashes from within just like satan who has already been judged to death of the soul [Ezekiel 28:18 & 19]. Those who will choose to follow satan, turning their backs on Almighty God because they are "outside of the sanctuary {far}", bowing before satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false anti-christ [Revelation 12:7 - 9] and continuing to follow him after the Millennial Kingdom teaching, shall most certainly lose their souls to sure death. 

Psalms 73:28 says, "But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works." There is only one way to be "close to and approach {near}" our Heavenly Father and "share {declare}" the truth of "His Good Gospel" and that is through "faithful study of His Word." Loving and serving Father God means you have confidence and "seek refuge {trust}" in "His Promises" which you will only know if you study "His Truths", meaning you are "within the sanctuary." "YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty is a Wonderful Counselor; loving, kind, merciful and pleased when His children serve Him from the depths of their souls, which belong to Him." Study the Word of Father God; feel the love and happiness He brings through "Yeshua, Christ Jesus, and be blessed by his Holy Spirit."
