The contemplation of the week: Psalm 148: 1-14

Text: Psalm 29:1-11

The title of the Word: God Sitting On The Flood

           The Bible witnesses that the Spirit of God, the Holy Ghost, walked on the surface of the waters before  creating all things in the earth:

” And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters..” (Genesis 1: 2)

         The water created by God gives life to all creatures as well as man; and more than seventy percent of human bodies are made of water. Water is the gift of grace given to the earth by God. However, this world still does not appreciate or understand the water that God has given, they rather believe scientists who claim it to be the principle of nature believing more than God’s Word.

          In order to fulfill the word of God promised to Abraham, he drove out all the tribes living in the land of Canaan, and planted the people of Israel like the best vine chosen by God. But they did not trust in the LORD God, and they were still serving the Gentiles despite the warnings of the prophets. God warned through the prophet Ezekiel:

” So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.” (Eze 5:17)

      Israel, which had not listened to God’s Word, eventually went and fell miserably by Babylon, whom God had used as a sword, according to his word.

      The first thing was to bring the famine without rain, and the famine sent the peoplefor them to repent and return to their LORD God, the second was epidemic, and the last was to go up the nations and use them as the sword to destroy Israel .

        At that time, the Israelites did not believe that the famine, plague, and sword that God sent them were to discipline them. They thought those things  as simple  natural disasters as those who lived in the last days of today. And persecuted and killed the prophets who said that all these calamities would come from God.

           The Holy Ghost is talking about the flood through the text scripture. Floods are the opposite of famine. It is also a disaster that the rain does not come, but it is also a disaster that rain comes too much. In the days of old Noah God judged the world by the flood.

           However, the world is still dedicated to restoring with the means of man without repentance, even when the famine comes and the plague and the sword . We can see that the environment in Korea is the same as the old Israel. Not only Korea but all nations including the United States are in the same situation. The people of God, Israel, still do not believe in God, and the churches of God are serving  idols through WCC

         The Holy Spirit spoke through King David:

” The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters… The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. “(Psalm 29: 3, 10)

         King David witnesses a tremendous voice of God with a flood and thunder. People still believe that thunder or flood is a natural disaster and do not consider God to be working. They believe in heaven, but God who created the heavens, they are  not believing.

             But when the voice of the Lord comes with the flood, the Holy Spirit is giving a message to come unto God  sitting on his throne on the flood , and repent. . Of course, we must not forget that we must pray for them in the midst of the flood, feeling sorry for the suffering of God’s flood.

            The Lord spoke to His disciples beforehand about the things that would happen on this earth before the Great Tribulation:

” And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8All these are the beginning of sorrows. “(Matthew 24:6-8)

             In Psalm 148, when God commands all things and all the nations of the earth to praise the Lord God, praise the Lord, “
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word“You said. God is testifying that fire, hail, snow, fog, and storms, which people regard as natural disasters, are God’s tools of judgment.

          The Earthquake of Northridge, California, USA, in 1994, was the judgment of God at the place where it was the center of pornography at that time. Hurricane Katrina, which struck New Orleans in the United States a long time ago, was a judgment on the United States that wanted to part Israel’s land. Also, the hurricane, Harvey that hit Texas recently is to know that it is God’s judgment on where the worship of Satan and the long-term deal of infants’ organs are being done. In addition, we need to know that the floods that occurred in Houston are also where the typical Lakewood Church (Joel Austin) is spreading prosperity theology.

           We must also pray for Korean churches to  be repentant, knowing that our home country, Korea, is in great danger. Followed by famine and plague, God is at a time when we do not know when to use the sword in the north. Just like the old Israel, all denominations enter the WCC and serve idols.

           God will accomplish His will that all men, with all their creatures, will serve and praise the Lord God in heavens and earth. It is also clear that God will judge all nations who do not praise him:

3Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

4For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

5Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

6Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

7To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

8To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.“(Psalm 149: 1-9)

Amen! Hallelujah!
