Subject: "I SAID, 'YOU ARE GODS?'" |
Bible Note: Hi Zsuzsi, 1) I am not familiar with "the second Pentecost". You have chosen the KJ to quote from for "thou [sic] shalt inherit all nations". Is not God Himself the possessor of all the nations? You do not want to fall like one of the princes. Psalm 83:11 talks about nobles like Oreb and Zeeb and princes like Zebah and Zalmunna. They said, "Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God." 2) I see Psalm 82 as totally spoken by Asaph. I looked at Psalm 2:7 for another place where one would wonder who is speaking. "I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord:" Or, "I will tell of the decree:" Here in this Psalm also we see who owns the earth. "He said to Me, 'Thou art My Son, Today I have begotten Thee. Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Thine inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Thy possession. 3) You wrote of great dignity FOR MAN. With the ALL CAPS we don't know who you are speaking of. But Psalm 8, to my mind is speaking of the Son of Man. Psalm 8:5, "For Thou hast made Him a little lower than God, And dost crown Him with glory and majesty." The Psalm begins and ends with "O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Thy name in all the earth." Hebrews 2:9, "But we do see Him/ who has been made a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus,..." Phil 2:10, "That at the name of Jesus/ every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth." From the heart, Ray |
