Psalm 29:6 – Part 6
Psalm 29:6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.
How great is our God? So great that He can make an entire kingdom (Lebanon) “skip like a calf,” and the tallest of mountains (Sirion is another name for Mount Hermon) skip “like a young wild ox.” We know all things are possible for God (see footnote)… but, there are two exceptions. Technically, these two things are not impossible for God. It is just His divine order that prevents Him from breaking these two rules.
Footnote: Notwithstanding the phrase Luke 1:37 “For nothing will be impossible with God.” The angel/messenger speaking these words was informing Mary of Elizabeth’s pregnancy (while prophesying her own, the birth of Yeshua). End Footnote.
In God’s kingdom, where the Lord is King over all, God cannot lie. God cannot break any promise, ever. God cannot break any of his own commandments. God holds Himself to the same standard of righteousness that He established for our own benefit. We find this in Balaam’s second oracle… Numbers 23:19 God is not a man who lies, or a son of man who changes his mind! Does He speak and then not do it, or promise and not fulfill it?
The second rule is similar to the first. God has given mankind freewill. God will never violate our own will by imposing His. As the saying goes, God is a gentleman. Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.
We have to “hear His voice” and then “open the door.” Only then will Yeshua come in and receive communion together with us. In that day, we will eat the afikomen together with Him and drink from the holy grail, also together with Him. Until that day (the marriage supper of the Lamb), we must be content to receive Yeshua’s body and His blood while waiting for His return.
John 6:53 So Yeshua said to them, “Amen, amen I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
Many of those following Yeshua struggled with these words. John 6:66 From this time, many of His disciples left and quit walking with Him. We must not! Our assignment is to embrace Yeshua and His words. As we do, our lives will be changed forever.
2Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Say “goodbye” to sin, death and hell, and “hello” to eternal life in heaven. Shalom shalom.
