Praise the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song & his praise in the congregation of saints.
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Let them praise his name in dance: let them sing praises to him with the timbrel & harp. Ps 149
For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth & a 2 edged sword in their hand;
To execute vengeance upon the heathen & punishments upon the people;
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.
Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
We all know Simon Peter from the Bible. He is known as Simon bar Yonah. There is a lot of Jewish deliberation over what "bar Yonah" means. I would like to present a theory I have not encountered...
One common theory is that bar Yonah means son of John (Yohannes) BUT Yonah means dove & the dove is used to symbolize the Holy Spirit throughout the New and Old Testaments. So what if it is Simon, son of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus changes his name to Peter/Cephas/Petra, the stone.
"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Mt 16:18
Did you know that in addition to Roget being famous for the thesaurus, he is also known for the log, log slide rule? So when Q said Roget that, I found the log of his time stamp.
Hebrew word 323 means lieutenants and occurs in Esther 8:9. What I find interesting is that there is a date in the verse that also corresponds to 323, the 3rd month (Sivan) and the 20 & 3rd day. Sivan 23..which also happens to be my birthday for 2019. In 2018 it fell on 6/6.
Declaration of YHVH
Zephaniah 1:4-12
I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all who live in Jerusalem. I will cut from this place every remnant of Baal, the names of the idolatrous priests, those who bow down on roofs to worship the starry host.
I will cut off those who bow down and swear by YHVH and who also swear by Molech, those who turn back from following YHVH and neither seek YHVH nor inquire of him. Be silent before the sovereign YHVH for the day of YHVH is near.
YHVH has prepared a sacrifice; he has consecrated those he has invited. On the day of YHVH sacrifice, I will punish the princes and the kings sons and all those clad in foreign clothes. On that day I will punish all who avoid stepping on the threshold,
The great day of YHVH is near-- near and coming quickly. Listen! The cry on the day of YHVH will be bitter, the shouting of the warrior there. That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, trouble and ruin, darkness and gloom, clouds and blackness.
A day of trumpet and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the corner towers. I will bring distress on the people and they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against YHVH. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their entrails like filth.
Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of YHVH wrath. In the fire of his jealousy the whole world will be consumed, for he will make a sudden end to all who live on earth.
