Psalm 149

Final Judgement - Home | Facebook

The wrath of God. The Great White Throne. The final Judgement.

Psalm 149 Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.
Now compare this text:
Revelation 20:11-15 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
I believe the New Testament Saints will be at the Great White Throne (as a Jury).

Psalm 149 Speaks of the Final Judgement (Great White Throne) Revelation 20:11
Psalm 149:7-9 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Jude 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Psalm 149 – ROMANS 15:10-11 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

Psalm 2

This Psalm fore tells of the Tribulation, when mankind is in complete rebellion of God
(while being religious).

Psalm 2 - John 14:6


Psalm 2:1-3 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

This was fulfilled during the earthly ministry of Jesus.

Psalm 2:4-5 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. The 7 year Tribulation. Isaiah 24:5-6 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. Joel 2:29-31 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
Psalm 2:6-7 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Psalm 110:1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The 1000 Kingdom is established. LUKE 1:32-33 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Psalm 2:8-11 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Psalm 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Remember, there are many, many verses to reference. Too many to list here.

A Psalm is considered prophetic when it contains text that is found in the New or Old Testament books written long after the Psalm.

Prophecy, the for telling of the future is throughout the Old Testament. A quick scan of the book of Psalm is a prime example. The following is by no means complete, just a sampling:
Psalm 2 foretells of God’s dealing with sinful man during the Tribulation and the Kingdom He will set up on earth during the millieum. A key verse of when Christ became the BEGOTTEN SON is: Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Which was fulfilled when Christ was raised from the dead. The rest of the Psalm will be fulfilled after Christ returns for the Church in the Rapture.
Psalm 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
This was quoted by Christ in Matthew 21:16
Psalm 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
This verse speaks of Christ’s three days in the tomb, where he descended into hades and then rise gain three days later, and His body did not see corruption but was changed to a gloriest one. Ephesians 4:9
Psalm 22 A very graphic description of the Crucifixion (which did not come into being until the Romans ruled). (read about the crucifixion as recorded in the Gospels). Psalm 22:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
Words spoken by Christ as He hung on the cross. Mark 15:34
Psalm 22:7-8 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. Actions and works spoken by those around the cross as Christ was being crucified. Matthew 27:43
Psalm 23 This passage has been a comfort to many believers over the years, but will be fulfilled for the Jew during the 7 years of tribulation (yet to come).
Psalm 24 Speaks of the King of Glory. Psalm 24:8 Who is this King of glory? Psalm 24:10 Who is this King of glory? Of course, this speaks of the Christ (Jesus) who will rule over Israel (and the world) for 1000 years. (Revelation 19,20)
Psalm 40 The whole passage speaks of Christ (Jesus) and his earthly ministry. Psalm 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, Who, but Christ (Jesus) could have said this?
Psalm 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. The whole passage speaks of Christ (Jesus) and his earthly ministry. And this verse was fulfilled through Judas (John 13:18,17:12).
Psalm 45 Speaks of the coming Kingdom when Christ (Jesus) will reign as king forever and ever. Psalm 45:6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. Hebrews 1:8
Psalm 46 The whole passage speaks of Christ (Jesus) and his coming earthly ministry during Jacob’s troubles (the Tribulation) and the 1000 years.
Psalm 47 Speaks of the coming Kingdom. Psalm 47:2 … he is a great King over all the earth. The 1000-year reign of Christ (Jesus) on earth. The Apostle Paul refers to this 1 Timothy 1:17.
Psalm 68 Speaks of Christ (Jesus) and his return. Psalm 68:1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. Acts 7:56 and the rest of passage speaks if His Kingly reign (during 1000 years).
Psalm 69 Speaks of Christ’s (Jesus) earthly ministry and his suffering and death. Psalm 69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Matthew 27:34,43.
Psalm 72 Speaks of Christ’s (Jesus) earthly kingdom (during the 1000-year reign).
Psalm 110:1 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Hebrews 10:12
Psalm 149 Speaks of the Final Judgement (Great White Throne) Psalm 149:7-9 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord. Revelation 20:11

Signs of the Times

Image result for the rapture of believers

Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

The above verse is lifted out of our Lord’s discourse to his disciples on things to come (Matthew 24:3). Now he was warning them about the tribulation (Jacob’s trouble, Daniel’s week) see Matthew 24:21, the great tribulation. The world is experiencing the CORONA VIRUS right now, and things are looking bad BUT this is not the Tribulation that the Lord was speaking about. As bad as it may get (there has been worse) we will get through it.

As believers we need to heed the words of 1 Thessalonians 4 which begins with “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition“. Be sure to read the whole chapter which ends with “Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work”.

And we should be (Titus 2:13) Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; and (Titus 3:7) That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

THE END IS NOT YET

The Rapture

Image result for rapture of church

A search of the Scripture will not produce the word RAPTURE. It is not in the KJV or many other translations.
It is in the Latin Vulgate as RAPIEMUR. It means “caught up together”. Now that phrase is in the Scripture.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
There are three teachings about when this event takes place and IT WILL TAKE PLACE. The PreTrib, the MidTrib, and the PostTrib. A study of the scripture points to a PreTrib Rapture. Since the Apostle is the only one who reveled this mystery, its to his writings that we will search. But some will say “What about? Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 (words of Jesus)”  A careful study of these passages will see that the Lord Jesus was teaching about the seven-year Tribulation that unbelieving Jews and the rest of the world will have to pass through before He returns bodily to set up His Kingdom on Earth to rule and reign from Jerusalem.
As we study the writings of the Apostle Paul we find mysteries he was given, by the Lord, to reveal to Believers. These mysteries are for us to know:
1 Corinthians 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the …
Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, …
Romans 11:25 For I would not, …, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, …
Romans 16:25 Now …, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, …
Ephesians 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to …
Ephesians 3:3-4 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (…)
Ephesians 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and …
Ephesians 6:19 And for me, …, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
Colossians 1:26-27  Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and …
Colossians 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, … understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Colossians 4:3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he …
1 Timothy 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
We shall escape the wrath (Tribulation) to come:
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ….
Romans 5:9 … justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.|
1 Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain …
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
1 Thessalonians 4:17

Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

1-2 ETERNITY OF GOD
God is the Creator – vs 2
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Colossians 1:16
3-6 FRAILITY OF MAN
Man’s life is short … Carried away as with a flood… vs 5
…because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. James 1:10-11
7-8 MAN’S SIN
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. – Vs 8
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Romans 3:10-12
9-12 SHORTNESS OF LIFE
The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. – vs 10
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Romans 14:11-12
