RRB Notes on Psalm 24

Psalms 24 KJV

A Psalm of David.

1. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; [a] the world, and they that dwell therein.

[a] 1 Cor. 10:26

2. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

3. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4. He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

5. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. [b]

[b] Vss. 3-5 is a faith-and-works salvation.

6. This is the generation of them that seek him, [1] that seek thy face, O Jacob. [2] Selah.

[1] Not a reference to any generation of Jews between A.D. 33 and the present day. Notice the “Selah” at the end of the verse; it is a reference to the Jews in the Tribulation looking for Christ at the Second Advent (see note on 2 Kings 14:7).*

[2] Notice the peculiar substitution of “Jacob” for God (see note on 1 Sam. 20:12).** You will find a similar thing in Psalm 48:12-14, where “the towers” and “bulwarks” are “God”; see especially Romans 9:17 and Galatians 3:8, where Paul used the word “scripture” instead of God.

7. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

8. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. [c]

[c] Vss. 7-8 cf. Zech. 9:8-10, 14:1-11.

9. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

10. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. [3] Selah.

[3] The “King of glory” is not Allah (“the god”). The “King of glory” and “God of gods” (Deut. 10:17) is Jehovah – “the LORD,” the tetragrammaton (יהוה – see App. 1).

*Note on 2 Kings 14:7

2 Kings 14:7 KJV

He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah [1] by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.

[1] Here the word “Selah” is [chet-samekh-lamed-ayin]. See Psalm 3:4, 4:2, 4, 21:2, 39:5, etc., for the word “Selah” there [samekh-lamed-ayin]. On a map, it is called Selah-Petra, the “rock city.” There will be a reference to the Second Coming of Christ within two or three verses of the word every time it shows up. It is only recognized by scholars as a pause or musical note. The word means “rock” – the “rock of separations” (1 Sam. 23:28). Otherwise, it is the “Rock” mentioned over and over again in the Song of Moses (Deut. 32), with the entire song dealing with the Second Advent (cf. Psa. 107:4, 7, 36, 108:10, 31:21; Eccl. 10:15). The Jewish remnant will be going south of the Dead Sea into the “rock city” to hide in the last few hours before the Lord returns and saves them “in the nick of time” on a white horse (see App. 99).

**Note on 1 Samuel 20:12

1 Samuel 20:12 KJV

And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, [2] when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee;

[2] The wording is remarkable. Jonathan addresses David as “O LORD God of Israel.” How is that for a “type”? Look at the same thing in Deuteronomy

 29:6, where the “I am” is coming out of the mouth of Moses (Deut. 29:2). What is going on here is that while a man is talking to somebody, he is talking to God at the same time.

 RRB Notes on Psalm 22

Psalms 22 KJV

To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David

1. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

2. O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

3. But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

4. Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

5. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

6. But I am a worm, [a] and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

[a] See note on Job 17:14 and comments on John 3:14, Mark 9:44, 46.

7. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

8. He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. [b]

[b] Vss. 7-8 cf. Mark 15:29-31.

9. But thou art he that took me out of the womb: [c] thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.

[c] Isa. 44:1-2; 49:5.

10. I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.

11. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

12. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. [d]

[d] Obviously figurative (Psa. 68:30; see note on Job 12:7).

13. They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

14. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; [e] and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

[e] John 19:28-30.

16. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. [f]

[f] Zech. 12:10.

17. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. [g]

[g] Matt. 27:36.

18. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. [1][h]

[1] (22:18) The chapter is a detailed, prophetic account of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, given over 1,000 years before the event took place (see vss. 1, 7, 8, 16, 17, and here). There are 48 such historical prophecies about the First Advent, and not one of them was recorded any later than 400 years before He was born. This is scientific, mathematical proof, according to the laws of statistical probability, that no man could have written The Holy Bible (see Peter Stoner’s book Science Speaks, referred to in the “Introduction to the New Testament” of this work). In comparison, the Koran is a joke. In 114 Suras, Mohammed was not able to give three historical prophecies. (See Appendix 77).

[h] John 19:23-24.

19. But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

20. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling [i] from the power of the dog.

[i] “Darling,” popular expression meaning literally “only,” “lonely,” or “singly.”

21. Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. [j]

[j] Psa. 92:10; App. 55.

22. I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. [k]

[k] Heb. 2:10-12.

23. Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

24. For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

25. My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

26. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

27. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. [l]

[l] Second Advent (Psa. 2:10-12; Isa. 2:2-4; Mal. 1:11; Zech. 14:16-19).

28. For the kingdom is the LORD’s: and he is the governor among the nations.

29. All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

30. A seed [m] shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

[m] The corrupt modern versions get rid of the word :seed: so you won’t make the cross-reference to Isa. 53:10.

31. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, [n] that he hath done this.

[n] The New Birth (John 1:13, 3:5).

________

Note on Job 17:14 KJV

I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, [2] Thou art my mother, and my sister.

[2] The verse is more than a dramatic, figurative statement, as the BIble-correcting scholars and teachers pretend. They forgot that Jesus Christ called Himself the same thing in Psalm 22:6 and warned about being the condition of a man in Hell (Mark 9:44, 46, 48). Jesus extended the classification to a “serpent” in John 3:14. Jesus Christ warned that a man had better not lose his soul (Mark 8:36). When God made Christ to become sin (2 Cor. 5:21), He “lost” His soul (Isa. 53:10); it was made “an offering for sin” (John 18:11; Heb. 5:7).

_______

Comments on John 3:14 KJV

¶ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, [d] even so must the Son of man be lifted up: [6]

[d] Num. 21:8-9.

[6] If you join this verse with Galatians 3:13 and 2 Corinthians 5:21, you will see that Jesus Christ not only bore your sins and took away your sins, He was actually turned into sin itself (singular as well as plural) to take your punishment for sin Himself. In view of 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Isaiah 53:10, this means that Christ lost His bodily shape by becoming sin when He took the place of a lost sinner in Hell (Psa. 22:6; Mark 9:44, 46, 48; see note on Matt. 26:38). This is what Jesus was praying about in the Garden of Gethsemane (John 18:11), not just death on the cross.

_______

Comments on Mark 9:44 KJV

Where their worm [j] dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. [3]

[j] See App. 92.

[3] Verses 43-48 deal with “hell”; naturally they will be changed in all the corrupt new “Bibles.” To “lessen the blow” for all their thin-skinned, easily offended readers, they’ve gotten rid of the “worms” from verses 44, 46, 48. The NIV simply removes all three of those verses, while the RSV only knocks out verse 44. The silly thing about the matter is that they still retain the KJV verse numbers, even though there are no verses 44, 46, and 48. “Hell” is mentioned fifteen times in the four Gospels (Matt. 5:22, 29-30, 10:28, 11:23, 16:18, 18:9, 23:15, 33; Mark 9:43, 45, 47; Luke 10:15, 12:5, 16:23). The new versions left the word untranslated in Matthew 11, 16, and Luke 10, 16; as well as Acts 2:27, 31 and Revelation 1:18, 6:8, 20:13-14. The Bible revisers try to draw a distinction between Hell (hades) and the Lake of Fire (gehenna) that is meaningless (see Rev. 20:14).

Mark 9:46 KJV

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Appendix 92 — E.T. : The Holy Maggot

The “Divine Maggot” had a prior existence before coming to earth (Prov. 8:22-29; Isa. 43:13).

 RRB notes on Psalm 51

Psalms 51 KJV

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.

1. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. [a]

[a] A great penitential prayer (see note on Neh. 1:5).

2. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

3. For I acknowledge my transgressions: [1] [b] and my sin is ever before me.

[1] Sins against God should be confessed to God, sins against individuals should be confessed to those individuals, and sins against a congregation should be confessed to the local congregation (Matt. 18:15-17; 1 Cor. 5:1-13; 1 Tim. 5:20).

[b] 1 John 1:9; Prov. 28:13.

4. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, [2] and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

[2] According to the greatest Moslem professional teachers of the “Holy” Koran, David would never have to confess any sins (Sura 4:111) because he was not only “pure” (Sura 19:13) but “sinless” (Sura 19:14, footnote 15:35). Religious garbage!

5. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

8. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

10. Create in me a clean heart, [c] O God; and renew a right spirit [d] within me. [3]

[c] Figurative, not the literal organ.

[d] A right attitude.

[3] The verse has nothing to do with the New Birth by the Holy Spirit, as can be seen by verse 11.

11. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. [4]

[4] This verse runs completely contrary to the “historic position” of Fundamental Baptists who pervert the entire Old Testament to prove eternal security in all dispensations. The truth is that David could have lost the Holy Spirit but didn’t (2 Sam. 12:13). His predecessor, Saul, did (1 Sam. 16:14). Before Saul, Samson lost the Holy Spirit (Judg. 16:20) but got Him back again (Judg. 16:28-30 cf. Heb. 11:32).

12. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

13. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

15. O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

16. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: [5] thou delightest not in burnt offering.

[5] David knew that no sacrifice could pay for the sins of adultery and murder. They were (in the Old Testament) what a Catholic would call “mortal sins.” (Rome created an ungodly mess by stealing the Old Testament material in an attempt to create a fake Israeli theocracy – the Roman Catholic State-Church.) In the Old Testament, when a man committed murder, the lamb on the altar did him no good at all: the “shed blood of the lamb” couldn’t pay for that sin (see note on Exod. 29:37).

17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

18. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. [6]

[6] Notice, again, how the Psalm switches from an individual (David) to the nation of Israel (see notes on Psa. 25:16, 28:7).

19. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar. [e]

[e] A Millennial reference that has no application to the Church Age (Col. 2:14-17 cf. Ezek. 43-46).

_______

Note on Nehemiah 1:5 KJV

And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments: [2]

[2] This is one of those penitential prayers, like Ezra’s prayer (Ezra 9:5-15), Daniel’s prayer (Dan. 9:3-19), and David’s prayer (Psa. 51).

_______

Note on Exodus 29:37 KJV

Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, [h] and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy. [9]

[h] Ezek. 43:25.

[9] See Exodus 30:29 and notice the remarkable illustration of this verse in 1 Kings 2:28-34 dealing with Joab. He ran to the altar because it was “holy,” but he forgot that the burnt lamb on the altar of offering cannot pay for the sins of murder or adultery (Num. 35:31; Lev. 20:10). This is why David was in such a sweat in Psalms 51. He knew what he had coming to him.

_______

Note on Psalms 25:16 KJV

16. Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. [2]

[2] Verses 16-22 again illustrate that the doctrinal content of Psalms is aimed at Israel while the spiritual, devotional content can be applied to a Christian. Verses 16-21 are requests that any Christian can make to God spiritually, but when you hit verse 22, that is an individual Jew praying for his nation.

22. Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

_______

Note on Psalms 28:7 KJV

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: [3] therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

[3] Notice, again, the double application where an individual's prayer for help (here) turns out to be a prayer for the nation (vs. 9).

9. Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

 RRB notes on Psalm 20

Psalms 20 KJV

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; [a] the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

[a] The Tribulation (Jer. 30:7).

2. Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

3. Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.

4. Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

5. We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: [5] the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

[b] Second Advent (Psa. 60:4; Isa. 13:2).

6. Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

7. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

8. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. [1]

[1] None of the verse has been fulfilled literally yet. Throughout the Psalms, the reader is constantly put into the following positions: 1) make a liar out of the Holy Spirit and reject what the text says, 2) spiritualize the passage and make it figurative so that it applies to a generation that it does not fit, or 3) place the verse prophetically in the future in the Tribulation and the Second Advent when God will fulfill it literally to the letter. Count on the scholars to pick the first two and cut their spiritual jugular veins in the process.

9. Save, LORD: [2] let the king hear us when we call.

[2] This was the cry of a Jewish woman spectator at the UN vote to accept Israel as a State in 1948. The Hebrew word for “Save, LORD” is the word for Joshua and Hosea. The New Testament word is Jesus (Israel: A Deadly Piece of Dirt, pp. 348-350).

 RRB notes on Psalm 19

Psalms 19 KJV

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. [a]

[a] Heb. 1:10-12.

2. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. [1] [b]

[1] “Day” and “night” preach. They “speak” (vs. 2) with a “voice” (vs. 3), and their “language” (vs. 3) is called “their line” (vs. 4), like the expression “handed him (or her) a line.”

[b] Job 12:8.

3. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. [2]

[2] This means that the main truths of the Bible are demonstrated twenty-four hours a day, and nobody has to learn anybody’s language to learn them. Among these are the Sun as a type of Christ. When the sun “dies” in the west, it’s blood red. The sun is a type of Christ because when He comes in the morning, His garments are “blood red” (Isa. 63:1). The sun travels against the world as Christ does. The moon (a type of the Bride of Christ, the Church) reflects the light of the sun, although she’s a dead planet (see App. 5), or if you want to get technical about it, a “satellite” (Song of Sol. 6:10). The moon follows the sun against the world, and when the world (earth) comes between the moon (a type of the Body of Christ) and the sun (her Redeemer), you have an “eclipse.”

4. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, [c]

[c] See note on vs. 3 and App. 11.

5. Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [d] and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

[d] A type of the Second Advent (Isa. 61:10-11; Joel 2:15-16; Matt. 9:15; John 3:29).

6. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, [3] and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

[3] There are seven items found in the psalm: 1) “the heavens” (vss. 1-6), 2) “the law of the LORD” (vs. 7), 3) “the testimony of the LORD” (vs. 7), 4) “the statutes of the LORD” (vs. 8), 5) “the commandment of the LORD” (vs. 8), 6) “the fear of the LORD” (vs. 9), and 7) “the judgments of the LORD” (vs. 9).

7. The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: [e] the testimony of the LORD is sure, [f] making wise the simple.

[e] 2 Chron. 34:18-28; Gal. 3:25.

[f] Testimonies like that of Moses and Elijah (Rev. 11:6) and Christ’s (Psa. 50:7, 81:11-16; Mark 13:2; 1 Tim. 6:13). 

8. The statutes [4] of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment [g] of the LORD is pure, enlightening [h] the eyes.

[4] The “statutes” are in Exodus – Deuteronomy. The first mention id found in Genesis 26:5 in connection with Abraham. “Statutes” are legal decrees set up as standards.

[g] Lev. 4:22, 5:17.

[h] Psa. 119:130; Eph. 1:18.

9. The fear of the LORD [i] is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. [j]

[i] Job 28:28; see comments on Phil. 2:12.

[j] Judgments (Gen. 18:25).

10. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

12. Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

13. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: [5] then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. [6]

[5] In the Old Testament, if a person ever let sin “have dominion” over him so that he sinned “presumptuously,” he would get in the condition described in John 12:40. Spiritual blindness was the result (Acts 28:26-27; Rom. 11:8). When Jesus Christ showed up, Israel was in the condition of Matthew 13:11-15.

[6] The last clause is a prophetic statement, exactly as Romans 4:7. “The great transgression” is a transgression of the first and second commandments (Exod. 20:3-6). It could not be committed until Jesus Christ, “the image of God” (2 Cor. 4:4; Col. 1:15, 3:10; Heb. 1:3), showed up. It was finally committed by a nation for rejecting that “image” (Matt. 12:31-32) as her “King” (John 19:15).

14. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Comments on Philippians 2:12 KJV

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation [i] with fear [j] and trembling.

[i] The Christian should “work out” what God has “worked in.”

[j] Eph. 6:5; Psa. 119:120: Mal. 2:5; also see note on Job 28:28.

Note on Job 28:28 KJV

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, [5] that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

[5] “The fear of the LORD” is never “godly reverence,” as all the Fundamental, Premillennial scholars say. Those two things are separate things (Heb. 12:28). “The fear of the LORD” is illustrated in Exodus 20:18-20, 23:27; Job 4:14; Philippians 2:12, and is manifest to all in Revelation 11:11. It is not “reverential trust.” “Understanding” is “to depart from evil.” Those definitions have never been taught in any Christian College or University which perverted the “fear of God” or the “fear of the LORD” into a “reverential trust.”
