RR Psalm 56:2,3 Part 2
Shalom,
Rabbi Trail: The last day our group was in Israel was June 5th. We paid a visit to the Israel Museum which houses “The Shrine Of The Book.” https://www.imj.org.il/en/wings/shrine-book Ordinarily only a copy of the original Book of Isaiah is on display. However; during our visit, we were able to see the original, which is only temporarily on display until September 15th. There was no crowd on Shabbat, so our time there was unlimited.
This most significant of all the Dead Sea Scrolls contains the entire Book of Isaiah, all 66 chapters, intact (a single scroll almost 22 feet long). https://tjvnews.com/news/israel/israel-museum-unveils-the-complete-great-isaiah-scroll-in-rare/ It is the oldest complete book of the Bible ever discovered dating to before the Second Temple was destroyed. https://www.imj.org.il/en/wings/shrine-book
It also contains some of the most specific Messianic prophesies (that Yeshua perfectly fulfilled) in the entire Bible. It stands today as a witness to all Israelis, because the text is readable to modern Israelis (and Hebrew literate people everywhere). “Yeshua HaMashiach Hu Adonai!” Translation: “Yeshua the Messiah, He is the Lord!” https://bibleislife.com/the-messianic-prophecies-in-isaiah-or-old-testament-and-jesus/ End RT.
Psalms
Psalm 56:2,3(1b,2) – Part 2
Psalm 56:2(1b) Be gracious to me, O God! For man has crushed me, fighting all day he oppresses me. 3(2) My foes trample me all day. For many are fighting me arrogantly.
As David continues his comparison, he draws a distinction from the beginning. David’s enemies are “little men,” while God is a great God. Elisha had the faith to call upon his great God. Elisha’s servant, Gehazi, was afraid of the army surrounding their camp. 2Kings 6:17 Then Elisha prayed and said, “Adonai, please open his eyes that he may see.” Then Adonai opened the eyes of the young man and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. And you know what happened next… the Lord blinded the enemy so they were led into a trap. Then they were fed and released, so the war ended without a fight.
This approach to life (great God, small enemy) also served King David well on the day he slew Goliath. Exactly what David said is a little long to quote (I’m going to quote it in full anyway), but I want every reader to receive it as from the Lord. Words preserved to help each of us overcome our own enemies, regardless of how large they appear.
1Samuel 17:45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You are coming to me with a sword, a spear and a javelin, but I am coming to you in the Name of Adonai-Tzva’ot, God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This very day Adonai will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and take your head off you, and I will give the carcasses of the Philistines’ camp today to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth. Then all the earth will know that there is a God in Israel, 47 and so all this assembly will know that Adonai delivers not with sword and spear—for the battle belongs to Adonai—and He will give you into our hands.”
If this message is for you, pray over it. Tell God you receive it from Him in the name of Yeshua. To God be the victory, to God be the glory. Shalom shalom.
