Psalm 83:18

"That Men May Know"

"That {men} may know that thou, whose name alone {is} JEHOVAH, {art} the most high over all the earth."  In case the world hasn't noticed, Almighty God is in charge!  Psalm 83 is a declaration of what will happen to those who come against Israel.  All the Nations who join forces in a "chain" to surround and destroy Israel will be snapped like a "twig" in the hand of God.  The Psalm says, "So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.  Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD."  You say, "Doesn't sound like a loving God, to me."  God has many sides; He is Love to the just, merciful, and humble, but He is fierce with those who come against His own, and especially the "apple of His eye." 

                   
                                              "The LORD thundered from heaven;
                                                                           the voice of the most high resounded."
                                                                                               (Psalm 18:13)

We can never forget that "The Most High" controls, orchestrates, maneuvers, sets up, tears down, directs, and brings to pass what He will  ... He is GOD!  Mere men do not rule the world; God Almighty, Jesus Christ our Lord, Jehovah, El Shaddai rules the world!  He has many titles, but One name above every name, Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings ... the Holy One of Israel! 

                                                                              
                                                              "Declare what is to be, present it-let them take counsel
                                                          together.  Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from
                                                           the distant past?  Was it not I, the LORD?  And there is no
                                                          God apart from me, a righteous God and a savior; there is
                                                                                    none but me."  (Isaiah 45:21)

Lord, let our prayers be not hindered!  We acknowledge You, and You alone, are God, the Lord Jesus Christ!  Let us not pray amiss; we pray for the peace of Jerusalem; the protection of Israel, and that America will always stand with Israel.  Grant us Your wisdom, knowledge, and understanding with our prayers in this crucial time; we pray for Your Will; let the mind of Christ be us!  Amen and Amen.  

                  
                                                                               "Protect and overshadow Israel!"
                                                                                                   we pray.

Almighty God, Jesus Christ, rules over all the earth, the universe, all that is, and ever shall be!  He is the Lord; He is omnipotent; He is eternal; He was, He is, He is to come; He is the Savior; He is Emmanuel; He will show Himself strong before all the world; He will rise up, proclaim and declare with mighty force and power, that He Is! .... "That Men May Know!"
