Psalms 118 (The Introduction)

Shalom In Yahshua; and welcome once again to this series of studies/teachings. We take our journey to the book of Tehillim (or in English) the book of Psalms. We hope to study in depth the hidden manna contained in the 118th division of this wonderful Book with the purpose that our hearts will be refreshed and our spiritual strength renewed as we eat the Bread of Life that came down from Shamayim (Hebrew for Heaven.) That we may obey His every command. That His wish may be our command. Amein and Amein!

We hope to use our previous post 'Which One' as a guideline in the successive posts. 

For this series we will post each teaching with the portion of the  Psalm before us (in large bold green font). My comments will be written in large bold blue font.

Without further introductions lets begin this journey together shall we?


 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: because his mercy [endureth] for ever. Let Israel now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy [endureth] for ever. (Ps.118:1-4)

From the beginning it has been the greatest joy of all intelligent beings to be in the presence of YHWH with highest praises and esteem in their hearts and upon their lips unto Him. The dark glass is swept aside and the student of Scripture; with their eyes of understanding being enlightened (Eph.1:18), are enabled to see 'the exceeding greatness of His power'(Eph.1:19), as Elohim gives exhibitions and demonstrations of His 'mighty power'(Eph.1:19). The comments furnished here fail to convey the exceeding richness of His lovely presence and the greatness of His power. 

Under inspiration of the Ruach Ha Kodesh {Holy Spirit} we capture the sight and sounds of thanksgiving and praise: " When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"(Job.38:6) When we consider the preceding verse we learn that when YHWH founded the foundation and corner stone of the earth (do you comprehend that?)! The Sons of YHWH sang for joy. Lets look at this in detail. 

After the Eternal God consults with His only begotten darling Son Yahshua, {for nothing is done without counsel(Pro.20:18;Pro.8:14;Isa.28:29)} they at once assemble the intelligent beings of the universes and declare the grand announcement that a new world is about to be created and a new dominion, power and principality formed. 

And now,  in the silence of the onlooking universe;The majesty of Glory- YHWH; with the mighty Word of Truth at His right hand; and with the angels the sons of YHWH and all the universe looking on; summons the greatness of His creative power and begins creating this world. The exhibitions of Yahshua's mighty power is of such a great height and depth that all are amazed beyond their capacity to understand all that is transpiring before their very eyes. The only way they can give vent to pent up feelings of awe, reverence, love, and thanksgiving is to sing with all their being; from the deep depths of their being, the wonders and awesomeness of creative power then displayed. 

Their hearts are energized and inspired with a deeper love, a deeper commitment, and a deeper loyalty to Him that sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb (though they know Him not {at this point} as the Lamb of YHWH which taketh away the sin of the world that they are seeing being created before them}. O blessed Redeemer! No one.............No one can by  searching find out His infinite wisdom.............we bow before You now and forever more! Here we see Yahshua creating a world that He will later die to save!!! Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this!

  Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.(Rev.4:11)

 We will consider, in detail, the text before us (Ps.118:1-4) at the next post (Yah willing).

Until next time.....................

Shalom and Ahava In Yahshua.
