948 - Les Feldick Bible Study - Lesson 3 Part 4 Book 79 - Part 5 of the Messianic Prophecies Part 4

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 3 * PART 4 * BOOK 79 PART 5 of the MESSIANIC PROPHECIES – PART 4 Psalms 68, 69, and 72 Okay, good to have everybody back in for program number 4. That’ll finish book number 79. We’ll be starting something different in our next taping. But for those of you out in television, again, we just want to remind you we still have quite a few copies of our one and only book—Questions and Answers from the Bible—and the girls will get them out to you. Just give them a call, drop us a note, or whatever. Transcriber’s note—I know many have that little question and answer book already. But for those of you who don’t – let me encourage you to buy one. So many have used that book—even to find salvation. That little book covers almost 100 questions you might have about the Bible. I bought the book for my brother, whom I thought believed as we do for salvation. But after reading that little book, he asked me a question: “Why did you almost let me go to Hell?” Enough said! They also make a wonderful gift to give and only cost $11 which includes shipping. Thank you, Jerry Pool And again, we always want to thank our audience for all your prayers and your financial help. We just can’t say it enough. We can’t repeat it often enough. Now we’re going to move right on to where we left off in our Psalms study. Remember in our last program we were showing how graphically the suffering and the crucifixion is shown in Psalms 69. We’re going to finish that one before we go on into number 72, which will kind of wind up our series in Psalms. So come back with me to Psalms 69 where we left off as Paul quoted from it in verse 22. Psalms 69:22-23a “Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. 23. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not;…” Remember, we’re talking about Israel. Psalms 69:23b-25a “…and make their loins continually to shake. 24. Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. 25. Let their habitation be desolate;…” Did it happen? My, after A.D. 70 Israel became a total desolation for 1,900 and some years. All this was fulfilled. Psalms 69:25b-28 “…and let none dwell in their tents. 26. For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. 27. Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. 28. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.” Which is called the Book of Life. The Book of Life is referred to, of course, throughout Scripture. It’s just one of the facets. It’s not unique to Israel. We know that Paul alludes to it. The Book of Revelation alludes to it. And here the Lord just simply makes a statement of judgment because of their unbelief and their rejection of Him. He said, “Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.” Now He comes back to His own estate. Psalms 69:29 “But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.” And as I said in the last program, remember, salvation is the theme of Scripture—to bring lost men to a knowledge of eternal life. Now verse 30 and He comes back speaking of Himself. Now remember, these are the words of the Lord Jesus although written by David in 1,000 B.C. Psalms 69:30-31 “I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. 31. This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.” In other words, the animal sacrifices would be completely done away with by His work of the cross. Psalms 69:32-33a “The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God. 33. For the LORD heareth the poor,…” In other words, those that have been downtrodden under the curse—but when they come into the Kingdom, there will be no downtrodden. There’ll be no one less blessed than the other. Now verse 35, here’s the promise. Psalms 69:35-36 “For God will save Zion, (They are not going to destroy the Nation of Israel or the City of Jerusalem.) and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. 36. The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.” And that, of course, is the Glory that’s going to follow. Now let’s just skip across to Psalms 72 to finish up our fourth program today. Here again we have all the joys and the blessings of the fruition of David’s prayers, the Kingdom. Oh, my goodness, David just couldn’t talk enough about this glorious coming Kingdom—which, of course, was promised to him clear back in II Samuel. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
