Again we have distress following the peace and blessings. This chapter also is a Psalm of degrees.

Psalms 129:1 "Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth," May Israel now say:"

As the nation of Israel has split into many tribes, scattering through out Europe and into America; many a time has God protected Israelite people.

Psalms 129:2 "Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: Yet they have not prevailed against me."

Here again as a second witness, for the many times that the enemy has come against Israel; the enemy has been turned away, and not prevailed against her, and Satan will not prevail against your personal life either. When you have our Lord with you, that wall of defense shielding you shall prevail against Satan and his realm.

Psalms 129:3 "The plowers plowed upon my back: They made long their furrows."

You look back on the tribes of Israel and all the captivities and hardships that they have gone through down through the years; you can see the floggings that the people have gone through, and all the oppression by those that were against them. Then in your personal life, you can think back also of the times that people have taken advantage of you, thinking that they were getting away with something. They were not getting away with a thing. God records those deeds done against His children, and He promised that He will take vengeance on them in His way. And He will.

Psalms 129:4 The Lord is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked."

"The Lord is righteous:" That means that nobody gets away with anything. As He cuts those cords asunder, the wicked will fall. When the cords on a puppet is cut, the puppet falls and the life is taken from that lifeless object. When the cords of this life are cut, and the soul departs from their flesh body, that soul of the wicked will also be judged for those deeds that that are done in this life.

Psalms 129:5 "Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion."

All those that hate Zion shall be cut off. When the seventh trumpet is sound, and this earth age is changed instantly, this earth will also be rejuvenated and the things of this earth age that have made mount Zion the center of Satan and his kid's world will be gone.

II Peter 3::10 "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, and the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."

The "elements" are the evil "rudiments" that go to make up this earth age of flesh and blood man. The basic things that are needed for evil to exist will be turned to sand, and all that is left will be what God will turn into that make up for that thousand year Millennium kingdom. We will not exist as now in our flesh and blood bodies, but in that incorruptible body as the angels have, and the trials and evil that make up this earth age will be over. In that new dimension of Christ's kingdom right here on earth, mount Zion will be a beautiful site to behold.

Psalms 129:6 "Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth afore it groweth up:"

Let our enemies be as the grass on the house tops. People at this time put sod on their house tops, and the brick that made up the house had no moisture for the sod, and the sod would dry up and blow away. There just was no substance to the sod and that is the way that our enemies are, for they will withereth up also and blow away.

Psalms 129:7 "Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; Nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom."

The grass that has no moisture dies before it matures, and it is not fit for anything. There is no substance to it, or to our enemies. The enemy is as nothing, and this is asking, "Do you want to take part with the enemy?" Do you want to take part with the enemy of our Heavenly Father in this earth age, knowing that all God's enemies are going to be done away with shortly. Their system is like the seed planted on the rooftop where there is no moisture, as the sun comes up, they will die and blow away. The world system that is showing life today shortly will died. God has told you what will happen to them and their system.

Psalms 129:8 "Neither do they which go by say, "The blessing of the Lord be upon you: We bless you in the name of the Lord."

That world system and all of Satan's workers of iniquity will never say; "The blessing of the Lord be upon you: We bless you in the name of the Lord." Only God's elect will bless you and be blessed in the name of the Lord. Our Lord is the true Christ from which all salvation cometh. He is Yashuah Messiah, and He can bless you and give you eternal life. He gives you strength, and lights your path as you follow His path, His Word in your life. If you are distressed, He can take that distress from you. Our Lord Jesus Christ knows your enemy better than you do, and He has promised that He will take care of all of them, so why are you worried. You are blessed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
