Psalm 128-135/Revelation 7-9
Blessings & Curses

[About Bible Reading]


OT

128:1 How happy are those who fear the LORD-- all who follow his ways!

NT

7:12 They said, 'Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength belong to our God forever and forever. Amen!'

9:7-9 The locusts looked like horses armed for battle. They had gold crowns on their heads, and they had human faces. Their hair was long like the hair of a woman, and their teeth were like the teeth of a lion. They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle.


OT Commentary

Praise the Lord!
Bless the Lord!

NT Commentary

Unrepentant world; of murder, witchcraft, sexual immorality, thefts…


Perspective

Sounds familiar.
Human nature has always been the same.
The cure has always been the same too.
NOTE: The one through whom God blesses is hardly ever conscious of it.
If they are, they probably just blessed themselves.

Psalm 120-127/Revelation 4-6
Are we waiting for you?

[About Bible Reading]


OT

123:1-2 I lift my eyes to you, O God, enthroned in heaven. We look to the LORD our God for his mercy, just as servants keep their eyes on their master, as a slave girl watches her mistress for the slightest signal.

NT

4:11 'You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created everything, and it is for your pleasure that they exist and were created.'

5:9-14 And they sang a new song with these words: You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it. For you were killed, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. And you have caused them to become God''s Kingdom and his priests. And they will reign[c] on the earth.' Then I looked again, and I heard the singing of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and the living beings and the elders. And they sang in a mighty chorus: 'The Lamb is worthy--the Lamb who was killed. He is worthy to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.' And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They also sang: 'Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the one sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever.' And the four living beings said, 'Amen!' And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped God and the Lamb.


OT Commentary

Rise up.
Go up.
Ascents.

NT Commentary

The Scroll, seal & the Lamb
Martyrs ask, “How long?”
Answer, “Till your number is complete.”
Are you holding up God’s judgment?


Perspective

Watch WITH Me – not – FOR Me
What is He after?
By the Holy Spirit we are able to watch with Him instead of expecting Him to watch with us.
True perspective changes everything.
