Psalms 22:27 Global Heart Warming

people-circle_globe

Psalms 22:27 “ALL” the ENDS of “THE WORLD” shall remember and TURN UNTO the LORD “ALL” and the KINDREDS of the NATIONS shall WORSHIP BEFORE THEE.

The "Contemporary English Version" has:

“EVERYONE” ON THIS EARTH will remember you, LORD. PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD will TURN and WORSHIP YOU,

A NET Bible study note on this verse says:

“Another option (cf. NIV, NRSV) is to take the forms as imperfects and translate, "ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH will acknowledge and turn...and worship."

The “MESSAGE BIBLE” paraphrases this passage like this:

Down-and-outers sit at GOD's table and eat their fill. Everyone on the hunt for God is here, praising him. "Live it up, from head to toe. Don't ever quit!" From the four corners of the earth people are coming to their senses, are running back to GOD. Long-lost families are falling on their faces before him. GOD has taken charge; from now on he has the last word. All the power-mongers are before him --worshiping! All the poor and powerless, too --worshiping! Along with those who never got it together --worshiping! Our children and their children will get in on this As the word is passed along from parent to child. Babies not yet conceived WILL HEAR THE GOOD NEWS—THAT GOD DOES WHAT HE SAYS. (Psa 2

2:26-31 MSG)

1Jn 4:14 says “And we have seen and testify that the Father sent the Son to be the SAVIOR OF THE WORLD” so if God does what He says; then The Son of God is the Savior of the world! That’s GOOD NEWS that everyone from the down-and-outers to those yet conceived need to hear. And when they do and it is completed, there will be a jump-up-and-down, get-down-on-your-face worship party all over this world !

Many bible scholars and commentators know that these particularly plain scriptures are teaching that God will eventually save the whole world. It is too obvious to deny. I believe they just don’t know how to appropriate it into their theology so they just leave it alone. 

Here are some quotes:

“It is evidently his grand consolation that Jehovah will be known throughout all places of his dominion. “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord. Out from the inner circle of the present church the blessing is to spread in growing power until the remotest parts of the earth shall be ashamed of their idols, mindful of the true God, penitent for their offences, and unanimously earnest for reconciliation with Jehovah. Then shall false worship cease, “and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee”

The Treasury of David

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)

 

this language is in accordance with what is uniformly said of him and his work, that the world would be converted to the living and true God.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible - Albert Barnes (1798-1870)

not only the nations of the world shall receive the Gospel as a revelation from God, but each family shall embrace it for their own salvation. They shall worship before Jesus the Savior,

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Adam Clarke, LL.D., F.S.A., (1715-1832)

If ALL the people in a church building from one end to the other and all corners, and ALL their kinfolks and families; turned to the LORD and began to worship before Him; Wouldn’t you say they were ALL saved? …Well if you are Baptist; some got saved, the others rededicated. If you came home from that church service I think you would tell people “the whole church repented, got saved and had a Holy Ghost party worshiping before the LORD today”

Why would anyone want to look at this verse speaking of this magnificent global revival in any other way than the glorious truth it so unmistakably proclaims?

Peace, Grace, and love to you,

DO YOU HAVE FAITH?

http://www.public-domain-image.com (public domain image)

"FEAR" is faith in reverse.... in other words <fear IS faith> in evil.... Sooo you DO have faith; it's just up to you what you do with it... Do you believe in what a GOOD VICTORIOUS GOD can and will do? OR do you believe in what an EVIL VICTORIOUS DEVIL can and will do? Do you fear what’s in the darkness more than you trust in the light? It's your choice.....

 

There is NO FEAR IN LOVE, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He who fears has not been perfected in love.
(1 John 4:18 MKJV)
And we have seen and testify that the Father sent the Son to be THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.
(1 John 4:14 MKJV)
that everyone having been born and now being a born-one, from out of God continuously overcomes (habitually conquers) the ordered system (world). And this is the victory (conquest) overcoming (conquering) the ordered system (world): OUR FAITH!
(1 John 5:4 JMNT)

HALLELUJAH!

What do you want?

CHRIST CARE

"So I tell you, when you pray for something, BELIEVE that you have ALREADY RECEIVED it. Then IT WILL BE yours. (Mark 11:24 NIrV)

(KJV) Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

This is one of those "Jesus" statements" that is beyond the natural minds ability to fully accept or comprehend. I have read tons of commentary trying to "explain away" this apparently wide open statement. Actually it doesn't say anything in it, before it, or after it about being the will of God or being righteous or anything. It just is what it is and says what it says. It is a GOD thing that is outside the boundaries of our finite intelligence. The King James in this instance actually used the best word here from the Greek aiteō and just generally means whatever you want or desire which make it YOUR will not God's.... I cant figure it out - just is what it is, and I have to believe it even if I dont believe enough to make mountains move or throw trees around Jesus said it was possible... I think He was just teaching us about the power of faith - faith that is beyond the natural and most likely will not be experienced without a radical change in our nature. I believe this will come with spiritual maturity that frankly we just have not reached yet.

Ps 145:14 “The Lord UPHOLDS " ALL" WHO FALL, And RAISES UP “ALL” who are bowed down”

We ALL fell in Adam …

We ALL are raised up "restored" in CHRIST…

Got Time?

436461067_aec107a774_b

I just read a Good article by Kevin Cecil about our perception of our life: it will make you think.... And I agree, time is relative to the individual. I personally have come to think of time as irrelevant in the larger picture. I realize that my bills have to be paid by a certain "date" and "time" in relation to my clock and calendar; although reality is really only NOW, that's all it can be to me... “NOW I AM”… YESTERDAY IS GONE TOMORROW DOES NOT EXIST. Conversely, the only reason we have a clock and calendar is that we live on a little blue ball spinning around in space while it circles a star. We earthlings look forward and backward, north, south, east and west, up and down in relation to that movement and our position on the earth. Actually, “up” is entirely relative to where you are standing on this planet; other than that relativity there is no “up”.... In reality, if we left this little blue ball we live on called earth and were catapulted into the nothingness of space there would be no time at all; nothing to use as a measure to start a calendar or clock, there would be no up or down, no right or left, no beginning or end.... Think about it....
