RR Psalm 50:3 Part 2
Shalom,
Psalm 50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about Him.
“Our God (Eloheynu) shall come (Yavo).” This is the opening phrase of our verse today. What follows are some descriptions and conditions of His coming. First, he shall not keep silent. Then we who are alive (whether in heaven or on earth) must be hearing something. What will we hear? (Ma Nishma.)
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.
What else do we know about His coming? “A fire shall devour before Him.” The purpose of His fire is to consume evil. 1Corinthians 3:12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear. For the Day will show it, because it is to be revealed by fire; and the fire itself will test each one’s work—what sort it is.
Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire. Deuteronomy 9:3 But you will know today that Adonai your God is the One who is crossing over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them, and He will bring them down before you, so that you may drive them out and make them perish quickly, as Adonai has promised you.
2Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the elements will melt and disintegrate, and the earth and everything done on it shall be exposed.
Lastly in this verse, we learn there will be a tempest surrounding the Lord’s coming. Joel 3:3ff(2:30ff) I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth—blood, fire and pillars of smoke. 4 The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and awesome day of Adonai comes. 5 Then all who call on Adonai’s Name will escape, for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be rescue, as Adonai has said, among the survivors whom Adonai is calling.”
The Lord is seeking those who will volunteer to be rescued. All that is required is obedience. (I almost never quote the same Scripture twice, but here goes.) John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. To follow Yeshua is to obey Yeshua. John 14:15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” Hebrews 5:8 Though He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered. 9 And once made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. Follow Yeshua and live in the last day. Shalom shalom.
