Psalm 22

Psalm 22 LSB version 

Why Have You Forsaken Me?

  For the choir director. According to Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David. 

  My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?  Far from my salvation are the words of my groaning.  O my God, I call by day, but You do not answer;  And by night, but I have no rest.  Yet You are holy, Enthroned upon the praises of Israel.  In You our fathers trusted; 

 ( This is a future echo of Yahusha Hamashia on the Mount of Olives and on the cross. )

  They trusted and You rescued them.  To You they cried out and were granted escape; In You they trusted and were not disappointed.  But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach of men and despised by the people.  All who see me mock me; They smack their lip, they wag their head, saying, “Commit yourself to Yahuah; let Him rescue him; Let Him deliver him, because He delights in him.” Yet You are He who brought me out of the womb; You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.  Upon You I was cast from birth; You have been my God from my mother’s womb.  Be not far from me, for distress is near; For there is none to help. 

  So far this could be a country song.  Just change up the lyrics here and there.   But it was written by King David of Israel about 1000 BCE.  But from here it has more of a prophetic message foretelling the Crucifixion of Yahusha Hamashia.  

 

  Many bulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.  They open wide their mouth at me, As a lion that tears and roars.  I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It is melted within me.  My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And my tongue cleaves to my jaws And You lay me in the dust of death.  For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.

  I quote, "Bashan was a region east of the Jordan River known for its rich pastures and robust cattle. The bulls of Bashan were renowned for their size and strength".  Also it is said to be the Golan Heights.  "Mount Hermon is the place where the Watcher class of fallen angels descended to Earth." 

  "Baal-Hermon is a biblical place name, likely a mountain or region near Mount Hermon, associated with the Hivites and the tribe of Manasseh. It appears in Judges 3:3 and 1 Chronicles 5:23, marking the northern and eastern borders of the Israelites' settlements." 

  "Solomon chose Hivites to be servants in his Temple in Jerusalem (1 Kings 9:20-21)."

  In other words, people who worship Baal when Yahusha Hamashia was crucified.  

  Below is aan English translation of the Septuagint that was done online.  

  They have surrounded me with calves, many bulls have surrounded me, they have opened their mouths against me like a ravening lion, and roared like water, I am poured out and scattered, all my bones are out of joint, my heart is like wax, melting within my belly. My strength has dried up like a shell, and my tongue sticks to my throat, and I am brought to the depths of death.  For many dogs surrounded me, a synagogue of evildoers surrounded me, they pierced my hands and feet.

  If Yahusha Hamashia could describe His time on the cross, this would it.  What is interesting is verse 16. 

  For many dogs surrounded me, a synagogue of evildoers surrounded me, they pierced my hands and feet.

  I quote, "In Judaism, dogs were often associated with negative connotations, such as uncleanliness and aggression, and were sometimes depicted as scavengers or even enemies in religious texts."

  Here we have a picture of unclean people filled with aggression, enemies of Judaism, in agreement with evil men who visited the synagogues regularly.  All are accused of driving nails into His hands and feet.  In other words, sacrificing the Lamb of Yahuah Elohiym during the Passover unknown to themselves.  In their mind, they were killing righteousness.  

  But Yahusha was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves. Luke 23:34

  

  I count all my bones.  They look, they stare at me; They divide my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots.  But You, O Yahuah, be not far off; O my Strength, hasten to my help.  Deliver my soul from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog.  Save me from the mouth of the lion; From the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me.

  Once again prophecy of Psalm 22 was fulfilled as recorded by Luke.  The power of the dog would be a Roman soldier who shoved a spear into Yahusha Hamashia's side.  The mouth of a lion is Satan, the fallen Cherub.  He is described as a roaring lion seeking to devour people, highlighting his role as an adversary to believers.  Satan believed Yahusha's death was a sacrifice to him.   

  I will surely recount Your name to my brothers; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.  You who fear Yahuah, praise Him; All you seed of Jacob, glorify Him, And stand in awe of Him, all you seed of Israel.  For He has not despised and He has not abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; 

  Jacob and Israel are two names the father of the 12 Tribes of Israel.   In this verse, it is symbolic for two different types of people.  The seed of Jacob includes the people who fly the Union Jack Flag.  However in 1908 they dropped the name Jacob.  What is interesting is that the UK started it's decline about that same time.  It was followed by loosing their colonies.  40 years after 1908, the UK abandoned Israel, leaving the Jews to fight the Muslims alone.  But this doesn't delete the fact of their Hebrew ancestry.  The name of Israel is to say those who walk with Yahusha Hamashia.   Just because Christians are affiliated, it doesn't say they were rejected by Yahusha.  

  And He has not hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He heard.  Of You is my praise in the great assembly; I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him.  The afflicted will eat and be satisfied;

  This is now.   Yahusha is loved or hated all over the world.  I cannot interpret the meaning because of the multiple dimension of this prophecy.   We do know if we cry out for Yahusha's help, He will be there in Spirit.   He will calm the problem or He will calm you.   Our vows and praise may be on Earth or Heaven.   

 Those who seek Him will praise Yahuah.  May your heart live forever!  All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to Yahuah, And all the families of the nations will worship before You.  For the kingdom is Yahuah's And He rules over the nations.  

  This is a prophecy that the entire Earth will will worship Yahusha.   Antichrist will try to imitate this before it happens.   

  All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him, Even he who cannot keep his soul alive.  Their seed will serve Him; It will be recounted about the Lord to the coming generation.  They will come and will declare His righteousness To a people who will be born, that He has done it.

  This is say that unbelievers in Hell along with the soulless will serve Yahusha.   Nations like Afghanistan, Algeria, Somalia, and Yemen, their future grandchildren will turn to Yahusha Hamashia as Lord and Savior.   

The Sin of Self Works

  The other day I was at a funeral and met people who I haven't seen for years.   After they asked how was I doing, I answered, can't complain.  Quickly he responded back, nobody would care anyway if you did complain.   The truth of the matter is, he was correct.  Later I tried to make a conversation on the good fortune my child had in life.   He walked off uninterested.  I'm giving it to Yahuah Elohiym so I can let it go.

 This is how it became more clear to  me of the sin of self works. Instead of self works, we should be focused of Yahuah Elohiym working on us and others.  How can we receive improvements from Yahuah Elohiym if we only listen to ourselves?  

  Yes I was happy for my child.  This came after years of myself being held back by that town and the churches.  I know of other people that suffered also.   So good news was just a statement of saying my family didn't need that community and churches.  This  is where I will not write a dirty laundry list of everybody's past sins and focus on on the subject Yahuah Elohiym has given me.  

1.  Increasing Anxiety and Depression

  Constantly scrutinizing, is like saying, heads I win, tails you loose.   Continually pointing out shortcomings reduces not just self esteem in others, but reduces the Spiritual Armor of Yahuah Elohiym given to all believers freely from Elohiym.  Excessive focus on perceived flaws or shortcomings and not on forgiveness and healing leads to spiritual erosion.  Without knowing about Yahuah Elohiym's Grace and forgiveness, we become the person of self works ourselves.  

2.  Damaging Fellowship 

  Damage to relationships occur regularly.   When it happens in a church, it has generational effects.   Nasty old grannies and pastors say things like, keep your ideas to yourself, at least some of us knows our parts or how can he buy a house?  They also structure sermons like an arrow directed at the one person that is not part of their inside group.   It goes without saying that their self works will cause the following generations of their victims not to attend church anywhere.   Where is the work of the Holy Spirit in the Church?   Would they recognize it if it did happen?   Victims see church as propaganda to control people.  

3.  Paralysis of the Spirit 

  Mental Paralysis is struggling to organize thoughts and focusing mental energy.  This leads to a feeling of being overwhelmed and unable to act.  The self works of others has the results of spiritual paralysis, like  a snake bite.  This is where your neighbor becomes unable to process clearly on their own.  

  Just by always pointing out the overwhelming odds that is against your neighbor and getting them to believe they always need to come to you, they believe they are stuck or frozen in their abilities to achieve in the Church.   The Truth will set you Free.   Yahusha Hamashia is the Way the Truth and the Life.   Self Works in the church is Antichrist.  There is no Father, Priest or Teacher besides Yahuah Elohiym.  

  Another way where self works enslaves people is by decision overload.   By pointing out your neighbor is not worthy to make decisions and to overload them with decisions, your neighbor will be enslaved and depend on the church click to have a decision made for them.  

  By teaching your neighbor to fear failure, then set them up for failure, the overwhelming stimuli of failure will trigger spiritual paralysis. 

  When you see your church neighbor having difficulty focusing, speaking, or withdrawing in church functions and they depend on you, you are probably making them an emotional slave to you.  Chances are, you are going to Hell.   Your father is Satan and you are a viper. 

 

   And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27. 

  In other words, there is no reason why others need to be a master over other people and  lead them around like spiritual slaves within the church. A church leader needs to serve others in a way like Yahusha Hamashia washed the feet of His Disciples.  This is to say if your neighbor has a need like a branch of a tree removed,  when you have the ability to remove it, do so.   It also is saying be silent when your neighbor is trying to express something.   Don't just shut them down with sick humiliation and point out the fact, that will cost you.

  

  4.  Building Hazards

  Self works is to say avoiding your neighbor's distress.  It's getting them to beg for help and then you give a candy coated nothing in return.  You should be seeing your neighbor's distress and humbling yourself if needed to heal them or wait with them until healing comes.  

  Manipulating, controlling and empty religious practices are Spiritual abusive behavior.  

  Avoiding your neighbor's painful emotions, unresolved trauma, or their difficult life situations leads to your neighbor's superficial understanding of Yahuah Elohiym.   Your self works sends your neighbor to Hell.  Do you think Yahuah Elohiym will let you into Heaven when you yourself prevented others from entering Heaven?  All spiritual Vipers go to Hell.  

Keeping them Foolish 

  Your  neighbor's lack of knowledge, you tricking them, or promoting their feelings over real facts, your neighbor will  start to promote your self works.  In your mind it might be a noble thing.   But what you are doing could be illegal or unrighteous.  This could lead to a decline in your neighbor's or your love for God.  Or it could  extinguish your spiritual fire.  It can be a sign of spiritual danger, as it may indicate a weakening in faith or an increased susceptibility to distractions.  Worldly distractions is what the devil, and one's own sin nature can use to pull you away from God and spiritual growth. These influences can lead to neglecting spiritual practices, prioritizing worldly pleasures, and becoming vulnerable to deception. 

Roots of Self Wiorks

1 John 2:15-29

  Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

  Self Works is of the world.   Self Works might appear as godly works but it is full of corruption on the inside.  If you love your works over the Work of Elohiym and it is filled with boastful pride in the image of righteousness, it is not of Yahuah Elohiym.  It is only a mock up of righteousness.  

  And the world is passing away, and also its lusts, but the one who does the will of God abides forever.  Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared. From this we know that it is the last hour.

  The Apostle John may have been exiled on the island of Patmos when he wrote down 1st John.   Being out of the drama of the world, his mind could see the world more clearly.  The question is, who was the Antichrist in 90 CE?

  Emperor Domitian nominated himself as perpetual censor and used religious, military, and cultural propaganda to foster a cult of personality around himself. He is described as ruthless.  He was at sharp odds with the Senate whose powers he drastically curtailed.  We know that history is repeated because Satan wants to have this type of leader and his self works ruler over a one world government.  Or it could be a powerful leader in the church that is Antichrist.  

  They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they were of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be manifested that they all are not of us.  But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.

  All through history the church has had many divisions do to corruption or purification.   But it is the church that has been anointed by the Holy Spirit that is the True Assembly of Yahusha Hamashia.   The question is, how can we recognize this Anointing?  If we are anointed by the Holy Spirit, we will start to act like and show what the Holy Spirit is.   We will produce the Fruit of the Holy Spirit also.   Self Works is not fruit of the Spirit.   

  The Spirit of Yahuah will rest on Him,

The spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, The spirit of Counsel and Might, The spirit of Knowledge and the Fear of Yahuah. Isaiah 11:2

  These are the seven Spirits of the Holy Spirit.   Next us the fruit of the Spirit.

  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.  Galatians 5:22-23

  In Self Works, all these things are not apart of your life.

   I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth.  Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ?  This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 

  If there is deception in what you believe or doing, it is self works.  If Yahusha is not part of your life, it is self works.   If your life is all about your self works, your father is Satan.  Yahusha said , pay onto Caesar what is Caesar's and to Elohiym what is Elohiym's.   In other words, yes go about your life, but also have eternal Life in Yahusha Hamashia.  Use discernment to manage them correctly.  

  Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.  As for you, let that which you heard from the beginning abide in you.  If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

  Unbelievers don't understand abiding in Elohiym and Elohiym in them.   From a scientific point of view, your  consciousness in your body is occupied by  Elohiym at the same time.   But it goes farther than that.   It's also the unseen Spirit abides together with the Spirit of Yahuah Elohiym.  This is the connection to communicate with Yahuah Elohiym in Heaven. 

  And this is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal Life. These things I have written to you about those who are trying to deceive you.  And as for you, the anointing whom you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you.  But as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as He has taught you, abide in Him.  And now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He is manifested, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.  If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who does righteousness has been born of Him.

  Having heard Yahuah Elohiym's voice and Word, I don't shrink away from other people speaking about Yahuah Elohiym.   I do shrink away from people who are full of their selves.  At times they passed through three different things they talk about before there is an opening to say something.   Then it's like your thoughts are outdated or unwanted.   By abiding in the same Elohiym, Yahuah Elohiym is the regulator of the conversation. 

  As I was editing this blog, a thought came to me.  Unbelievers never witnessed Yahuah Elohiym manifest Himself Spiritually to them.  They simply don't understand.    The closer we become to Him, we receive a better clearer experience of Him.   

Groomed to fulfill dead people's Self Works 

  I quote, ""Psychological grooming is a manipulative process in which an abuser builds a relationship with someone, often a child, young person or vulnerable adult, to gain their trust and compliance in preparation for abuse or exploitation. The abuser aims to establish control and secrecy to prevent the victim from disclosing the abuse."

  This quote would be going to far from what I am referring to.   What I am referring to is just short of that where no crime is committed.  It would be still a manipulative process.  Instead of an abuser, it would be more of a  manipulation.  The lines between family or church traditions and psychological enslavement are blurred.  The steps would be similar to Stockholm Syndrome.   They are, fear and anxiety, feeling powerless, fulfilling the manipulator's desire, false justification of the manipulator and turning all negativity towards yourself.  We must use discernment between false justification of the manipulator and honoring leadership that is above us.   

  Then there is also the reverse of  psychological enslavement that is psychological lawlessness.  This ends up in chaos.  It disrupts the social order of a relationship and can negatively impact various aspects of life.  At times psychological enslavement and psychological lawlessness happens simultaneously.  That would be the Spirit of Antichrist. 

  This would be the backstory of the problem.  A simple illustration would be when a parent died, you still find yourself directing punishment towards yourself and humanizing the memories of the parent that passed away.   But yet there are memories of them rejecting you in favor of someone else.  If you then continue in their socal method, you are then keeping alive some ancestor's Self Works upon yourself.  To break the cycle, you must find forgiveness and change through Yahusha Hamashia called Jesus Christ.

  Then there is the reverse of Yahusha Hamashia.  This is called Antichrist.  The beginning of Antichrist is the fallen Cherub Heylel BenSahar.  It is his Self Works that caused the dysfunction and the distraction in social relationships today.  Greed causes anger, anger causes death.  All of Society today is groomed to steal, kill and destroy and yet humanize the people that are guilty of causing it.   But then if you dehumanize the guilty, that too would be stealing, killing and destroying 

  This isn't a call to abandon your's or your parent's hopes and dreams for you.   A good parent would be happy that their child prospered in life, even if it involved moving away.   When Self Works becomes your God, it will lead you to dysfunction in some way.   Believing in Yahusha Hamashia, this will give you a way to understand the unseen and understand the unknown.   

  

  

Ezekiel 38

  And the word of Yahuah came to me saying, “Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him and say,

  Ezekiel 38 was written about 580 bce.  The Kingdom of Judah had already died along with the royal line of David from father to son..  However Yahuah's promise of always having a King was still true through King Zedekiah's daughter becoming High Queen over the Lost tribes of Israel in Ireland.  She  married into another royal line of David.  Therefore Ezekiel 38 is not prophecy for Judah before the current era,  it's still prophecy today.  Gog of the land of Magog is Turkey today because it said land of Magog.   Russian territory is not the land of Magog.  Gog was a descendant of Reuben of the tribes of Israel.  Chief prince is to say, head of state or President.   This would be the head of state over Meshech and Tubal.   The question is, where are these locations on a map? Both these locations are in Turkey today.  

 ‘Thus says Lord Yahuah, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.  I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your military force, horses and horsemen, all of them magnificently dressed, a great assembly with large shield and shield, all of them wielding swords;

  This only focuses on Turkey.  To turn about is for Turkey to pull back or pushed back.   But then to have been hooked into sending out their military is seen as something they have no choice in the  matter of a future war.  Having translated original language online,  it will be both a defensive and offensive war, probably in winter.  

  Persia, Ethiopia, and Phut with them, all of them with shield and helmet;

  Persia is Iran, Ethiopia and Phut are Muslim countries in Northeast Africa.  Phut is Libya.    What is interesting is that Lib in Hebrew is heart.   Yahusha is the name of God.  Libya could be seen as the heart of God.   In other words, Libya and Ethiopia have Israelite ancestry.  

  Gomer with all its troops; Beth-togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops—many peoples with you.

  Gomer is the name of Noah's grandson, a son of Japheth, and father of Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.  By saying Beth-Togarmar is to say daughter of Togarmar.  It seemingly pulls in Eastern Europe and it's Jewish influence.   

  

  “Be prepared, and prepare yourself, you and all your assembly that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them.  After many days you will be mustered; in the last years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many peoples to the mountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; 

  Turkey will lead an assembly of nations into Israel.   There will be a war and then restoration before the invasion.  The people of Israel will have come from many nations living in an area that vhad been wasteland.  

but its people were brought out from the peoples, and they are living securely, all of them.  And you will go up; you will come like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”

  It's interesting how this event is described as a cloud.   Fighter jets, helicopters and drones would appear like a cloud.  Then come the troops from a coalition of nations.  

  ‘Thus says Lord Yahuah, “It will be in that day, that thoughts will come into your heart, and you will devise an evil plan, and you will say, ‘I will go up against the land of unwalled villages. I will go against those who dwell quietly, that live securely, all of them living without walls and having no bars or gates, to capture spoil and to seize plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places, which are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired cattle and property, who live at the center of the world.’

  The center of the world is Jerusalem.  Israel is where Africa, Asia and Europe all come together.  It's geographical location would be the prime location to control and tax world trade.   

  Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its young lions will say to you,

  Sheba and Dedan is Saudi Arabia.  Tarshish is considered to be the western Mediterranean area.  By saying with all the young Lions, it would make Tarshish the United Kingdom including the USA with it's coalition.  Saudi Arabia has the city of Neom in the southwest part of its territory, any threat to that and Israel would be world war.  

 ‘Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your assembly to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great spoil?

  It's as if the eastern Roman empire is at war with the western Roman empire with the exception of Saudi Arabia and Israel.  However Israel will have a false Messiah, an Assyrian Antichrist over them

  “Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, ‘Thus says Lord Yahuah, “On that day when My people Israel are living securely, will you not know it?  You will come from your place out of the remote parts of the north, you and numerous peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly and a numerous military force; and you will come up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the land.

   North of Israel are the Black Sea Nations.  We must wait until what happens between Russia and the Ukraine war.   What if a East European Union was formed?   The EU today would be downsized into a West European Union.  The Eastern Union might hold part of Russia, we don't know.   What we do know Moscow is not directly North of Jerusalem.   Kiev Ukraine is.  Poland and the Ukraine are the same ethnic group.  

  It will be in the last days that I will bring you against My land so that the nations may know Me when I prove Myself holy through you before their eyes, O Gog.”  ‘Thus says Lord Yahuah, “Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days by the hand of My slaves the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring you against them?  And it will be in that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” declares Lord Yahuah, “that My wrath will mount up in My anger.  In My zeal and in My blazing fury I have spoken that on that day there will surely be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.

  The question is, what is the relationship between Turkey and Israel today?  Traditionally relationship between them has been complicated.   Currently it has been bad because of the Gaza Strip.   All it would take is a few words to cause a war and fulfill prophecy.  Bergama, Turkey is the seat of Satan mentioned in Revelation 2:13 by the name of Pergamon.   The leader of Turkey when this happens will probably be possessed by Satan.  

  And the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the beasts of the field, all the creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the men who are on the face of the earth will quake at My presence; the mountains also will be pulled down, the steep pathways will fall, and every wall will fall to the earth.  And I will call for a sword against him on all My mountains,” declares Lord Yahuah. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother.  With pestilence and with blood I will enter into judgment with him; and I will rain on him and on his troops, and on the numerous peoples who are with him, a torrential rain, with hailstones, fire, and brimstone. And I will magnify Myself, I will manifest Myself as holy, and I will make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am Yahuah.”

  There is nothing to be said to explain these verses any better.
