Moses received Ten Commandments as Israel prepared to enter the Promise land, four of which dealt with one’s relationship with G-d and six with one’s relationship toward others. David, on the other hand, goes beyond those precepts, giving eleven additional commandments for those of Israel who would prepare to re-enter the Promise Land, all which dealt with one’s relationship with his fellow man. This text is for grooming those who were to abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill, Ps. 15:1.
The first Aliyah was in 1882-1903 possessed tenacity and will power. The Second Aliyah was in 1904-14 consisted of many young Russian revolutionaries who brought their socialist ideas of inhumanly high and many couldn’t stand the strain. They broke under the self-imposed discipline, and a great number, almost 80 percent, left. The Second Aliyah turned out to be a survival of the fittest, not necessarily the fittest in muscle but in a power stronger than any physical strength, that of innocence, those who survived became the core of the state.
[Ps. 16:2] He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
[3] He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
[4] In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
[5] He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
The tenth principle condemns those who would violate the Mosaic covenant against charging interest on loans. The present international banking cartel prospers on a principle of usury. When antichrist makes his bid for world domination, he will control the world’s currencies, requiring his mark for buying and selling. Perhaps Moses and David foresaw that generation which would yield to the control of the moneychangers
[1] Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
[6] The lines or boundaries of the Promise Land are kept by G-d. Even through the Sikes Picot treaty in 1916 tried to undermine Jewish rights to the land, the Chosen People are yet to prevail. Lord Balfour had written the declaration as a reward to Chaim Weizmann for his discover of the raw material for explosives. He found horse chestnuts were a perfect source of making acetone and butyl alcohol for explosives.
G-d was obliged to benefit Israel because of the saints who are buried in the earth. G-d must keep His promise to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David.
The term, thou maintainest my lot has been also translated, You guided my destiny. Through twenty long centuries, the wandering Jew thought he was alone, but G-d was there, behind the scenes guiding the course of events.
[10] For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Even in the midst of the fires of World War 1, the Chosen People were to witness a resurrection of Jewish hopes for their own land. After three thousand years in a political grave, Israel still was preserve from corruption. Messiah’s three days in the grave also may have been prophetic of Israel’s three millennia exile under Babylon, Media/Persia, Greece and Rome.
According to Rashi, this is neither a prayer nor a request. It is a prophetic statement about the future. G-d was unfolding His plan to deliver the Jewish people, return them to their land, and send Messiah to establish His Millennial kingdom. The following year, 1997 was to see a major development toward the fulfillment of that prophecy.
[Ps. 17: 8] Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
In that sacred city, which had been under the Gentile yoke exactly 2,520 years was freed on December 9, 1917, which was the first day of the feast Chanuka, or the 24th day of Chisleu. About 2,000 years before, according to the Jewish calendar, Judas Maccabeus, having taken possession of Jerusalem, re-dedicated the Temple and celebrated this remarkable victory.
It seems that G-d has a flare for fulfilling prophecies on the anniversaries of similar events which occurred in the pages of the O.T.
Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the L-rd’s Temple was laid, consider from this day will I bless you says Haggai 2:18-19. The time references of this chapter places it in the generation which will see the shaking of the nations; and I will shake all nations,, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the L-rd of host in Haggai 2:7.
They will conclude with the coming of the desire of all nations to establish the house with glory. Not only did Great Britain take Jerusalem on the 24th day of the ninth month, they entered the war against Germany on August 4, 1914, which, in the Jewish Calendar was on the 9th of Av, the anniversary of the destruction of both Solomon’s Temple and Herod’s Temple!
Winepress to Birthpains
[Ps. 8:3] When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
[4] What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Being the eight psalm, denoting a new beginning, it lens itself to the twentieth century and preparations for rebuilding the Temple – dwelling place for the Ark of the Covenant.
Like a winepress prepared for the judgment of G-d. Perhaps the prophetic winepress was being prepared for the wars of the century. Nations were to thrown into the crucible of
G-d’s judgment. G-d was preparing for the shaking of the nations. World War 1 was the first birth pangs of travail. It may have marked the beginning of winepress judgments.
In 1908, Jews in Slavic lands were enjoying a sort of respite from the brutal pogroms. Psalm 46 reflects upon the end of World War 2 which occurred in 1945. Psalm 68 has a reference to the six-day war in 1967. Psalm 83 names the combatants of the 1982 Operation Peace for Galilee.
Psalm 8 extols the L-rd. His glory is ablaze in the heavens and can be seen in the nighttime sky. G-d is preparing for the birth of a baby called Israel – among the lowly of earth babes and suckling. In 1908, preparations were already underway which would result in the birth of the nation destined to prepare for His descent to the Mount of Olives. At that point in time, He will still the enemy and the avenger once and for all.
Among so vast a universe, what is this new baby called Israel? He was to be born in 1948, a child abused, kicked around by the nations; yet Messiah will visit him, G-d will make Him to have dominion over the works of G-d’s hands.
[Ps. 9:6] O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
[17] The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
The psalm sets the pace for that special time which would witness the perpetual end of all destruction. The L-rd is preparing for the kingdom reign, and for the eternal destruction of the wicked.
Moshava Deganiah, which was Israel’s first collective settlement was established in 1909. It was a refuge for the oppressed. In 1909 that a group of Jews who had immigrated to Palestine stood upon the san dunes along the Mediterranean outside Joppa (know as the gate of Zion. They dedicated a new city in their Promised Land to be known as Tel Aviv.
The Ha-Shomer, and Israeli defense force made up of Jews, was established in 1909.It was the prototype for the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) of today which has won every war they have fought since 1948, sometimes against odds of one hundred to one.
[Ps. 10:16] The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
It is customary for the Jews to recite this psalm during the Ten Days of Penitence, the ideal season for repentance. Prophetically, the High Holy Days from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kipper represent a scenario for end time events. The Resurrection (Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets will be followed by seven years of tribulation (Seven Days of Awe), concluding with the glorious appearing of Messiah (Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement) as the great High Priest emerges from the Holy of Holies (heaven). On that day, the sacrificial blood will flow to the horse’s bridles.
[Ps. 11:6] Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
In each of these incredible psalms the message is the same – war clouds loom on the horizon. Nations are preparing to rise up against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms. World War 1 was the first of a series leading to Armageddon.
[Ps. 12:2] They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
[4] Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
It is the Song of the day on the seven days of the Sukkos Festival (Feast of Tabernacles), offerings were brought symbolizing eh seventy nations who surround Israel. On the eighth day the offering symbolizes only Israel who will remain alone and exalted in Messianic times as G-d’s Chosen People. IN the mist of darkening political climate, hope in the future Messianic kingdom was stirred. Politicians plotting clandestine activities in smoke-filled rooms. Armies were gearing up for confrontation. Peace talks would not succeed.
[5] For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
G-d sees the poor plundered and hears the screams of the needy, He will arise. He will whisper to the poor, I will grant safety. Whisper means G-d has not yet publicized His plans to take revenge on the wicked. But never fear for He is in control.
[4] What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

The Beekeeper
Ps 5:6 Thou shall destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
The wicked advisor is comparable to the antichrist whose actions are predicted for the last days.
One cannot presume to know the identity of that future antichrist, but in 1905, his dynasty must have been busy planning for world government while plotting to take over the world’s economies. There may be a clue here, however, to link the antichrist with the ancient lost tribe of Dan. David directed the conductor to accompany this psalm on Nehiloth. The instrument was to be played in such a way as to sound like a swarm of bees. The song was dedicated to the time of attach and the droning, buzzing sound captured the mood of eh enemy hordes who swarmed around Israel like angry buzzing bees. This sound of bees may be a reminder of Samson’s riddle in Jug. 14:12-18. the riddle could have a prophetic meaning. Since the killer of the lion was Samson, a member of the tribe of Dan, the bees could be a symbol of Danites making honey in the carcass of the lion of the tribe of Judah. The Danites were suggested by the sages as the tribe which would one day give birth to the antichrist. The dying Jacob prophesied that Dan would judge his people in Gen. 49:16.
Ps. 118:10, 12 also makes mention of the bees refer to the time G-d will gather all the nations of the world and bring them to ascend against Jerusalem. This symbolism is most appropriate. When the bee gathers honey, it thinks that it is collecting the sweet nectar for its own use, not realizing that the beehive is under the control and supervision of a beekeeper. Similarly, the nations will gather around Jerusalem under the impression that they are fighting for their own gain. In truth, they are mere paws manipulated by G-d to fulfill His design for the world.
Could the lost tribe of Dan still be around, working behind the scenes and pretending to encourage the repatriation of Israel on one hand while on the other hand planning to declare one of their own future Messiah?
Jacob further predicted that Dan, as a snake, would bite the horse’s heel causing the rider to fall backward. This seeming riddle may be explained in light of a fast-developing movement to combine all the world’s currencies producing a global monetary system of exchange, and international banking cartel has effectively employed interest rates to take control of nations. The term usury comes from the Hebrew nasak, meaning the bite of the serpent. Perhaps Jacob’s prophecy and Samson’s riddle of Dan’s future plans present the underlying theme of David’s psalm.
The bees may also compare with the hordes of Russians who massacred whole Jewish communities in 1905, in what was described as Russia’s worst pogrom. There wee over 660 attacks, the worst being in November of that year. They were perpetrated by more than just soldiers. The masses of Russian peasants were led to believe the Jews were wicked and deserving of death.
Ps. 6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
David was gravely ill when he wrote this psalm. He had been bedridden for an extend length of time.
He had been bedridden for an extend length of time. He accompany this psalm with an eight-stringed Sheminith – the number eight heralding the future Messianic age when all illness will be healed.
[7] Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
In Jewish history the year 1906 was the bloodiest year for Russian pogroms against the Jews in Slavic history to that date.

Why do the heathen rage?
The sages taught that Psalms 2 describes Messianic times, the two proposed settings, past and future, present contradiction, David detected the seeds of Gog and Magog. Those rabbinic concepts form our introduction which in turn describes a political insanity among the Gentile nations of the world – evident in 1902, and building into one war after another, getting worse with the passing of the years.
A worldwide political unrest after the turn of the century created a climate for the coming global conflict. Repeated in Matt. 24:7.
Ps.1-2 had a first fulfillment at the time of our L-rd’s crucifixion, when the heathen, the kings of the earth, that is Pontius Pilate and Herod, on the one hand, and the people, the rulers, that is the Jews and the rulers of the Sanhedrin, on the other, branded themselves together against Y’Shua. But it waits a final fulfillment in the hostility of the last days, a hostility to be over thrown for ever, that the kingdoms of this world may become the kingdoms of the Father and His Son.
The L-rd shall nave them derision, the Talmud emphasizes that this is no ordinary mockery but rather it is the last laugh. Now where does Scripture record G0d laughing except on this day. A so-called ‘age’ of enlightenment emerged to topple thrones.
While men waved their respective flags, talked of the brotherhood of man, and shot accusations to each other.
It was suspected that this same movement which plotted the downfall of European monarchies planned to establish a one world monetary system. They hoped to eventually gain control of all governments, enthrone their own ruler, and thus deprive the L-rd’s anointed.
G-d is determined to set His King upon His holy hill of Zion. Messiah will establish a world-wide kingdom, be given the nations for His inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for His possession.
The second psalm aptly describes a political climate at the turn of the century which has Progressively developed through two devastating world wars, a series of Korea’s and Vietnam’s, and today’s mad race toward nuclear superiority. The world is rushing headlong toward another series of wars – the prophetic battle of God and Magog and the awesome Armageddon!
In psalms 3 & 4 the question is why is the chapter of Absalom juxtaposed the chapter of Gog and Magog? So you can reply that it is possible that a son should rebel against his father, yet it happened; and so this too will happen. If a wayward son could rebel, certainly the world could produce an antichrist who will attempt to usurp G-d’s throne.
The 1903 publication of the Protocols fueled a Jewish persecution which continued to increase throughout eastern Europe until it climaxed in the holocaust of Hitler. This corresponds with the mindset of beleaguered Jews. In 1903 many of the Russian Jews were crying out to their Maker for help.
The Uganda Proposal must have taxed the patience of G-d. In 1904 the leadership of the World Zionist Movement were split within the rank and file as to precisely which major direction to lead the Chosen People. Herzl’s strategy nearly ripped the Zionist Movement asunder, his own movement rebuffed him, tell him that there was but one place where Jewish state could be built, and that was in the Land of Israel.
Aliyah is a term meaning to come up. It is more than merely settling the land. Those who participate actually dedicate the reminder of their lives to bring about the completed state of modern Israel. In years following 1905, newcomers built roads, drained swamps, and began preparing the land for subsequent aliyahs. Twelve years later the British Balfour Declaration formally recognized Palestine as a National Home for the Jewish people.
Who will shew us any good – is a foreshadow of the pogroms of 1903-06. The First World Zionist Congress met in Switzerland in 1897. Policies were set in motion which would bring about the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Israel a half-century later. Thus were fulfilled the dreams of hose sages who saw a predicted Messianic era.
History repeats itself; can you see how the signs of that time have return to our time?
We have a worldwide political unrest, that gets worse with each passing year, but no need to fret for G-d is in control!

Blessed is the Man
Ps. 1 David could soar above the boundaries of time: and sing of past, present, and future in the same breath, with the same words. To many Gentile Believers, the Psalms appear to be little more than the simple songs of an ancient Jewish culture. According to the Talmud, the three Hebrew letters of Adam’s name represent the initials of three men: Adam, David and Messiah. What Adam began, David continued, and Messiah will complete.
My members – is not part of the original Hebrew Scriptures. They were added by the translators. It was to be days. Reading: “in thy book all my days were written, which in continuance Chorological order) were fashioned when as yet there was none of them.
Seeing that G-d knew me before I was composed of either flesh or bone, much more now must G-d know me when G-d have fashioned me.
Blessed is the man – Israel is the man! The symbol of Israel as a baby is used many times in the Bible, G-d instructed Moses,…thou shall say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the
L-rd, Israel is My son, even my firstborn in Ex. 4:22. Symbolic baby as a picture of the rebirth of Israel, the commemorative coin for 1948 struck by Israeli government shows a woman, Rachel, with a new baby boy – Israel!
This verse appears to describe the mindset of world Jewry in 1901. It was at the fourth conference of the Bund (the Jewish Socialist Union) in Russia in 1901. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, David enlarged upon the subject when he wrote about the birth of the baby (Israel), All the days ordained for me were written IN YOUR BOOK before one of them came to be’ in Ps. 138:16. Here is a verse which prophetically symbolizes Israel, declaring that ‘all the days’ were written in the book! The Jerusalem Bible is equally astounding; ‘You have scrutinized my every action, all were recorded in your book, my days listed and determined, even before the first of them occurred.’ Seeing that G-d knew me before I was composed of either flesh or bone, much more now must G-d know me when G-d have fashioned me.
One cannot be so bold as to try to decide who among the Jewish people delight in the Law of the L-rd, and who among them are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Tree planted – replanted by the rivers of water. The symbol portray the return of the Jews to their land in the last generation. Ex. 36:8 prophesies ‘O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches. Could the tree on that coin be the famous fig tree predicted to come to life again? The fig tree, symbolic of the nation of Israel, that faltering fig was to lie dormant through the long winter of world history would someday be turned into the spring and summer of the kingdom age.
Rivers of water is a bad translation, “by the irrigation ditches”. The word in the Hebrew is peleg, which does not really signify “rivers” but rather “irrigation ditches.” Which is a artificial water course. The word appears ten times in the Old Testament and nine times it is translated “river”. The picture here is very graphic. Through a surrounding stretch of arid territory flows and irrigation ditch with an unfailing supply of water, and all along this canal are verdant trees flourishing with fruit. By means of irrigation ditches, it is distributed to their fields and orchards. The irrigation ditch is usually kept supplied with water by means of some kind of pump, powered by men or animals. The Believer in this world often senses that he is in a dry and thirsty land. His surroundings are often spiritually dry. But he is not dependent on the natural circumstances that surround him; he is nourished by continual meditation in the Word of G-d. That Word supports refreshes and nourishes him, just as the irrigation ditch nourishes trees along its banks, even in desert territory.
His fruit – it flourishes to yield its fruit in due season and has the promise that its leaves will never wither. For twenty centuries, the Jewish people have not been allowed to forget their national tragedy. At every Jewish wedding the groom breaks a glass beneath his foot as a reminder of the destruction of the Temple.
On August 11, 1882 a group of young Russian Jews left Kharkov to make ‘aliyah’ (going up) to the Promised Land, the fourteen young Jews didn’t simply go to Palestine, they return to Zion.
Psalm 1 refers to the beginning of this century, furthermore, the entire psalm appears to be a prophetic promise to the future Chosen People which would be endowed with new national life – Blessed is the Man!
Ez. 44:24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to My judgments: and they shall keep My laws and My statutes in all Mine assemblies; and they shall hallow My Sabbaths.
Deut. 18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
Matt. 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
The Jews honor G-d’s Law but did not accept the Messiah’s Word. The Gentiles accepted the Word but not honored the Laws. Judgment will fall on all that do not take both the Word and G-d’s Laws.
Many have suffered in this century, perhaps not all of the righteous have prospered nor all the ungodly perished; but the L-rd is the righteous judge, and the story is not over
My members – is not part of the original Hebrew Scriptures. They were added by the translators. It was to be days. Reading: “in thy book all my days were written, which in continuance Chorological order) were fashioned when as yet there was none of them.
Seeing that G-d knew me before I was composed of either flesh or bone, much more now must G-d know me when G-d have fashioned me.
Blessed is the man – Israel is the man! The symbol of Israel as a baby is used many times in the Bible, G-d instructed Moses,…thou shall say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the
L-rd, Israel is My son, even my firstborn in Ex. 4:22. Symbolic baby as a picture of the rebirth of Israel, the commemorative coin for 1948 struck by Israeli government shows a woman, Rachel, with a new baby boy – Israel!
This verse appears to describe the mindset of world Jewry in 1901. It was at the fourth conference of the Bund (the Jewish Socialist Union) in Russia in 1901. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, David enlarged upon the subject when he wrote about the birth of the baby (Israel), All the days ordained for me were written IN YOUR BOOK before one of them came to be’ in Ps. 138:16. Here is a verse which prophetically symbolizes Israel, declaring that ‘all the days’ were written in the book! The Jerusalem Bible is equally astounding; ‘You have scrutinized my every action, all were recorded in your book, my days listed and determined, even before the first of them occurred.’ Seeing that G-d knew me before I was composed of either flesh or bone, much more now must G-d know me when G-d have fashioned me.
One cannot be so bold as to try to decide who among the Jewish people delight in the Law of the L-rd, and who among them are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Tree planted – replanted by the rivers of water. The symbol portray the return of the Jews to their land in the last generation. Ex. 36:8 prophesies ‘O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches. Could the tree on that coin be the famous fig tree predicted to come to life again? The fig tree, symbolic of the nation of Israel, that faltering fig was to lie dormant through the long winter of world history would someday be turned into the spring and summer of the kingdom age.
Rivers of water is a bad translation, “by the irrigation ditches”. The word in the Hebrew is peleg, which does not really signify “rivers” but rather “irrigation ditches.” Which is a artificial water course. The word appears ten times in the Old Testament and nine times it is translated “river”. The picture here is very graphic. Through a surrounding stretch of arid territory flows and irrigation ditch with an unfailing supply of water, and all along this canal are verdant trees flourishing with fruit. By means of irrigation ditches, it is distributed to their fields and orchards. The irrigation ditch is usually kept supplied with water by means of some kind of pump, powered by men or animals. The Believer in this world often senses that he is in a dry and thirsty land. His surroundings are often spiritually dry. But he is not dependent on the natural circumstances that surround him; he is nourished by continual meditation in the Word of G-d. That Word supports refreshes and nourishes him, just as the irrigation ditch nourishes trees along its banks, even in desert territory.
His fruit – it flourishes to yield its fruit in due season and has the promise that its leaves will never wither. For twenty centuries, the Jewish people have not been allowed to forget their national tragedy. At every Jewish wedding the groom breaks a glass beneath his foot as a reminder of the destruction of the Temple.
