Bible Note: Hi Zsuzsi, I don't see the last judgment in Psalm 82, but rather an active involvement by God in the affairs of men. You have written that you do not understand "how 'His own' has come into the passage." Psalm 82:1 in the NASB reads, "God takes His stand in His own congregation; He judges in the midst of the rulers." The NASB Study Bible has in its marginal note for the verse, [Lit. the congregation of God]. 1) I believe that we have to know for Psalm 82 whether God is speaking or whether the words are from our own spirits. Ezekiel 13:1, "Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy from their own inspiration, 'Listen to the word of the Lord! 3 Thus says the Lord (God), "Woe to the foolish prophets who are following their own spirit and have seen nothing."' John 12:40, "He has blinded their eyes, and He hardened their heart; lest they see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and be converted, and (I) heal them." 2) Psalm 8:4-6 I see as a passage that is talking about the Son of Man rather than the son of man. The name of the Lord is majestic in all the earth. Hebrews 2:6-9 is also speaking of the Son of Man and we see that Jesus is crowned with glory and honor. Hebrews 2 would have us pay close attention to what we hear. Hebrews 1:14 might be another way of saying "test the spirits". Test the words spoken through angels for they prove to be unalterable or steadfast. From the heart, Ray |
