Meditation of the week: Psalms 110:1-7

Main scripture: Genesis 3:1-7

Subject: Don’t look at the present world, but see it through the word of God!

        Since the Satan was cast out of heaven, and came to the earth; he appeared in the serpent to deceive Eve so that she ate the forbidden fruit, this world has been filled with the knowledge of good and evil resulted in the history of wars killing one to another. Cain considered himself better than Abel, and hated him to murder; since then, bleeding wars are still going on worldwide in the human history.

        Searching the procedure of such a miserable thing through the word of God, we can have the wisdom how to live in this world. Even nowadays, Satan tries to tempt the children of God for them to see the things that are forbidden by God. If the first woman, Eve had not seen the forbidden tree, she might not have thought of the tree as good for food, and pleasant to the eyes, and to be desired to make her wise. In other word, Satan is still trying seducing the children of God so that they may see the world; and he tries to stimulate their lust of flesh and eyes, and the pride of life unto sins.

          But God has given his words for the children of God to eat freely. Satan is still tempting them to see the world that is the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Satan made Eve forget the word of God saying to eat the fruits of all the trees in the Garden of Eden freely, and let her have curiosity of the forbidden tree to see the tree. Even nowadays, Satan try to make the children of God forget the abundant life of eternal given by God, and feel sorry for something in want to be in the trap of temptation, and make them hate to eat the words of life, but to see the world.

          Making the children of God not see the words of God but see the world, Satan tries make them not see his end of destiny unto the final judgment of God unto the lake of fire. And through the life of Abraham and Lot, we can have the wisdom of life; Abraham was remained in the land of Canaan being led by God; but Lot ignored the word of God given through Abraham, and saw the land of Sodom to be judged sooner or later:

    “And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.

Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east; and they separated themselves the one from the other. Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.”(Gen. 13:10-13)

           The LORD God spoke about two kinds of man through prophet Jeremiah:

 “Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.

For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.”(Jer. 17:5-8)

          King David testified of the blessing for them that read the word of God, and meditate not seeing the world:

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”(Ps. 1:1-3)

          Whosoever puts his eyes in the words of God becomes to understand the will of God toward the world; and not to be in the temptation of Satan with wisdom of God. In other word, he shall find out so many words from Genesis through Revelation of the judgment against Satan that the world to bring forth sin and death and curse unto the earth. The LORD God found Satan in the Garden of Eden right after he tempted Eve, and he declared to judge him saying to him to bruise his head through the only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. God declared the gospel of Christ so that whosoever believe in Christ Jesus shall be saved from sin and death and curse:

 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”(Gen. 3:15)

       As God declared unto the serpent, Satan in the Garden of Eden, Jesus, the only begotten Son of God died on the cross bruising his feet. But he rose again from the dead the third day. Satan that sinned in the beginning deceived the man who was made in the image of God as well as his likeness to bring forth sin and death and curse unto the earth. But this time, God deceived Satan to make him have the wrong idea thinking himself to be able to rule the world forever more, if he kills the only begotten Son of God that shall be coming as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. But Jesus rose again from the dead the third day to destroy sin and death and curse, and judged the Devil, the Satan that has the power of death.

          Sooner or later, the Lord Jesus Christ shall come back to the earth as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, and execute the judgment of him bruising the head of Satan to cast him into the lake of fire. Apostle Paul as well as Apostle John testified of the purpose of Jesus who appeared with flesh and blood:

 “through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;”(Heb. 2:14)

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”(1 John 3:8)

         Satan is still tempting the world so that people follow the lust of flesh, and the lust of eyes, and pride of life, and have them not hear the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and not understand even upon hearing the gospel to lead them the lake of fire where he is to be cast into. He also temps the children of God for them to see the world, and emerged into the lust of the world. Satan deceives the children of God so that they may not have inheritance in the kingdom of God. Apostle Paul warned unto the saints of Ephesians church:

“For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.”(Eph. 5:5)

        Therefore, Apostle John encouraged the little children of God:

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”(1 John 2:15-17)

        God has built his church through the Holy Ghost in the earth where the born again children of God gather together to be united; they are no more the children of Adam, but the children of Jesus Christ who is the last Adam. As the Garden of Eden, God has given the life tree that we can eat freely in the church of God; that is the words of life of God. Our Father God is still saying unto us not to see the forbidden tree that is the present world, and not eat of it. In the garden of Eden, Adam received the word of God, and it unto his wife, Eve; but Eve disobeyed her husband. But the church of God that is the bride of Jesus Christ that is the last Adam should obey his words; no more seeing the world, nor listening to the temptation of Satan. Now, abiding in the words of God deeply, we have to understand the words of truth to have liberty, and see the world that is ruled by Satan through the words of God, and have peace in the Lord to overcome all kinds of tribulations to look forward the inheritance to receive in the kingdom of God.

        The Holy Ghost prophesied of the world unto judgment through a psalmist:

 “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

Sing unto the Lord with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.

With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.”(Ps. 98:4-9)

         God has been rebuking the world saying the prince of the world that is the Satan is judged for last two thousand years (John 16:8-11). As Apostle Paul testified, the Lord Jesus will take us home in heaven from the world that is under judgment before the Great Tribulation comes (1 Thes. 4:16-18). And we shall come back to the earth to reign with him when he appears to the earth to judge the wicked world at the end of the Great Tribulation as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords (Rev. 19:11-21). Amen! Hallelujah!
