Psalm
42 – Ruin and Redemption
We
will see God’s chosen people away from Jerusalem; they are separated from the
holy place and out of touch with Jehovah, just as they were in Egypt. There are
two groups in the land of Israel right now: one group we call the orthodox Jews
who are waiting for their Messiah, expecting Him to come and wanting to rebuild
the temple. The other group is not concerned with religious matters. They have
Egypt, the Arabs and the United Nations to deal with. The godly remnant of
Israel has a longing for God.
There
was much weeping in the brickyards of Egypt and will be in the future. This
will be the taunt during the Great Tribulation period: “Where is your God? When
is Messiah coming?” Israel with think that destruction is upon them, but God
will deliver them.
In
their desperate hours the remnant will turn to God. There will be no help from
the east, the west, the north, or the south. “My help comes from the Lord, the
maker of heaven and earth. The godly remnant calls on God to act in their
behalf.
Psalm
43
The
antichrist is a liar. He will make a covenant with these people and then will
break it in the midst of the week. “Deliver me from the deceitful and unjust
man.”
The
condition of our nation is due to leadership and internal problems.
“Let
them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.” He wants to go back
to Jerusalem. He wants to worship in the temple and to be brought back to God.
Israel’s
prayers will be answered, and their long-expected Messiah will return. “And ye
shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people,
and I will be your god.” Ezekiel 36:28
