RRB notes: Psalm 115

Psalms 115 KJV

1. Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, [1] but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

[1] Verses 1-8 are aimed doctrinally at Gentiles in the Tribulation (Isa. 42:8, 44:9-20, 45:16-18, 46:5-10; Acts 19:24, 35; Rev. 13:14-18).

2. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

3. But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

4. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

5. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

6. They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

7. They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

8. They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

9. O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. [a]

[a] See note on Psa. 106:4-5.

10. O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

11. Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

12. The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

13. He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

14. The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

15. Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

16. The heaven, even the heavens, [2] are the LORD’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

[2] Mohammed, in his blind stupidity, said there were seven heavens. The Bible gives you three (2 Cor. 12:2). That means that the “waters . . . above the heavens” (note the plural) are beyond the solar system which is the second heaven (Gen. 1:6-8). They have nothing to do with “clouds,”  “vapors,”  or an “ice canopy” as taught by every scholar who messed with the King James text.

17. The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

18. But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. [b] Praise the LORD.

[b] Psa. 113:2.

Note on Psa. 106:4-5

4. Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

5. That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance. [2]

[2] This is a Gentile who wants to “get in on the goodies” when the “King of the Jews”  shows up. He’s mentioned back in Deuteronomy 32:43 and is included with the Levitical priesthood of Israel (Psa. 115:9-11, 118:2-4, 19-20). Having missed all the references to the Second Advent in this matter, the blind, apostate scholars missed the fact that whenever Paul spoke to a synagogue, he always addressed the Gentiles there as part of the group. Note the difference between Stephen’s address (Acts 7:2) and Paul’s address (Acts 13:16).
