---Psalm 92.
---Psalm 90 is
the Psalm of Moses said Ellen White and Rabbi Rashi in the Middle Ages.
---Rashi said
that all Psalms from 90-100 was written by Moses.
---So a
professor of Holland, J. van der Lugt studied in 2019 the vocabulary of these
Psalms between 90-100.
---Look at the
comparisons between Psalm 90 and 92 for Wednesday in our lesson.
------We know
that Moses wrote Psalm 90.
---So we can now
also know that he wrote Psalm 92. At least the author of Psalm 92 used the same
wordlist or dictionary as Moses.
---evil is used
in 90:10c but also in 92:8 and 10c.
---Our God is
used in 90:17a and in 14b.
---In the
morning is used in 90:5b and 6a and 14a but also in Psalm 92:3a.
---Kindness/mercy
is used in 90:14a and in 92:3a.
---work of the
hand is in 90:17a and 17b and also in Psalm 92:5b and 6a.
---your doings
90:16a and 92:5a.
---to blossom in
90:6a and 92:16b.
---to shout for
joy is used in Psalm 90:14b and in 92:5b.
---to rejoice is
used in 90:14b and 90:15a and in 92:5a.
---Are we going
to say that the author of Psalm 92 was plagiarizing Moses who wrote Psalm 90?
---Are we going
to say Moses wrote both?
---Some verses
where the word or phrase can be found are the same in both Psalms. Coincidental?
---Inspired by
the same Editor of the Bible, the Holy Spirit.
---What kind of
Music does Moses make on the Sabbath? Solemn sound (verse 4). Compare our loud
acoustics sometimes by rock and roll and modern J-pop and K-pop lovers.
---Psalm 92 is
for the Sabbath.
---What does
Sabbath mean? Rest. Rest from what? Weekly noise, weekly habits and weekly
entertainment.
---Do we carry
our weekly entertainment in the church? To duplicate? To win the pagan outside
to come inside?
---But, said the
critic…Moses was never in Lebanon. How does he know of the seders of the
Lebanon (92:13)?
---Moses was a
learned man and studied about it at university. In fact Thutmosis III the
pharaoh, went into Lebanon area nearly 16 times to campaign looking for Moses.
He would have been informed in Midian too about it.
---Just like
Psalm 1, the righteous are compared to a tree and in this case, a desert tree,
namely a palm tree that is planted in the temple of the Lord (92:14).
---The Lord is
Moses’ Rock in Whom there is no unrighteousness (92:16).
---In the desert Moses experience the Lord as a Rock supplying the miracle of water to
people. But, out of anger he hit the rock. So he could not go into Israel. But
the bonus was better out of Mercy of the Lord…heaven after his death.
---Do you have
an uncontrolled anger sometimes? Are you young? Do not. You can get a stroke
and a double stroke that paralyzes you to live only three more years.
---Cast your
yoke on Christ and He promises to carry burdens for you.
---Years ago we
went bankrupt, my father and me for borrowing money from the Bank and the interest
became too high. The Auction should have been that Friday. My father called me.
My Japanese boss was a pagan and asked me why I am sad. I told him. He paid all
my debts and that of my father the next day and brought our debt account to
zero. Ask FNB in Vryheid for the story in 2001.
---God can use
pagans to help faithful people.
---So the Love
of God is worth clinging to.
---Where are you
this coming Saturday? Bowling? No. In the parkinglot of the nearest Adventist
Church. Is your smartphone out for navigation? When? Now.
