Good evening. Oh, there's Brother
Gary. He came back. Brother Ron, would you mind to
put up the words of Break Thou the Bread of Life one more time,
please? And we can just go to verse one.
There we go. I just want us to think about
what we just sang. And if you didn't sing it, you
should have. Break thou the bread of life,
dear Lord, to me. As thou didst break the loaves
beside the sea. You know, I was reading that
this morning in my personal reading. I'm in the book of Mark and reading
how Jesus took the loaves and broke and gave it to people and
just kept breaking and just kept giving. Wouldn't it have been
great to be there and have Jesus break the loaves
and give it to the disciples? Then here it comes from Jesus's
hand. Yeah. Anyway, as out it's break
the loaves beside the sea, but the bread of life here is going
to get us into the word of God beyond the sacred page. I seek
thee, O Lord. Yeah, reading the Bible is not
like reading any other book. I have the privilege to teach
literature, and we read lots of books, and we read lots of
stories from lots of different authors, but we're not really
seeking the author. We want to understand what the
author wrote and all of that kind of thing and maybe get some
benefit of, you know, how we might improve our life based
on some lessons that we see there. But beyond the sacred page, I
seek thee, O Lord. When we come to the scripture,
we're not just reading a book to try to understand it the way
we would any other book of literature or any book of science or any
book of technology or history. Whenever we read the sacred page,
we are seeking the one who wrote it. We want to get in touch with
the God who inspired the Bible. My spirit pants for the old living
word. Let's go to the next one, Brother
Ron. Break thou the bread of life,
O Lord, to me. Okay, now get this. That hid
within my heart thy word may be. So we want the scripture
to be in our heart. Mold thou each inward thought
from self set free. Boy, wouldn't that be wonderful? Set free from self. You know,
how many of the difficult, agonizing thoughts that we have are just
set on self? But through the word of God,
the Lord can set us free from self and let my steps be all
controlled by thee. That's what we really want in
our life as a Christian, isn't it? Let's go to the next one
there. Open thy word of truth that I
may see thy message written clear and plain for me. You know some
things you can read you can open it up and read it and it just
goes boom you know it just hits you right in the face you got
it but but as I told you I was reading in the book of Mark just
for my own my own personal Bible study time and I've been looking
over the same four verses now for a few days so that to really
have the message clear and plain for me. Then in sweet fellowship
walking with thee thine image on my life engraved may be. So
then, as we're in the word of God, and the message of the word
of God becomes clear to us, then in sweet fellowship, walking
with the Lord, his image on our life becomes engraved. So that people, whenever they
interact with us, when they see us, they're going to see the
image of Christ there. And that's going to come through
us receiving the message clear and plain. How much might we be missing
in our lives just because we don't read the Bible? And that's what this song is
all about, our personal reading of the Bible time. Well, let's
go to the next one there. Bless thou the truth, dear Lord,
to me, as thou didst bless the bread by Galilee. Then shall
all bondage cease. All fetters fall. Well, what
kind of bondages do we do we have? Bondages to past memories? Things that we just need to let
go of. It's in the past, it's over with,
it's gone. And any offenses that were made
against us, they're over with. They're over with. Sometimes
people are mad at people that have been dead for years over
things that happened decades ago. Okay, we need to be released
from that bondage. Then shall all bondage cease
and all fetters fall. When? Bless the truth, dear Lord,
to me. Then shall all bondage cease
and all fetters fall. And what will I find? Then I
shall find my peace, my all in all. All right. I think there's
another verse up there, too. Oh, send thy spirit, Lord, now
unto me that he may touch my eyes and make me see. Show me
the truth concealed within thy word. And in thy book revealed,
I see the Lord. You know, I'm so grateful that
the Lord put me into a position that I had to teach English.
You know, it was a have to whenever it started out, but I have come
to really love it over the years. And in fact, I was showing some
of our students how to diagram sentences today, and I had just
used diagramming sentences to study that passage of scripture
in the book of Mark that I was talking about. But you know,
you can only go so far with that. You can go so far with that.
But then there are the times that you read a passage and the
Holy Spirit just opens it up. You may not even know what the
Greek word was and barely understand what the English word was, but
the Holy Spirit makes it real and lets us know that this applies
to you. This applies to you. I remember
when I was first saved, I will tell you, I was just a guy that really needed to be
saved, and had just come out of my junior year in high school,
just started my senior year, and I had always made, man, if
I made a C in English, I was happy. That's just how it was. You know, history was A's all
the way through, but English, that was another story. But anyway,
whenever I picked up the Bible and started reading it, I didn't
know the difference between maketh, doeth, and thee, and thou, and
all of that. But you know, as I started reading it, the Lord
opened it up in spite of that. So as I've heard that one brother
say, yeah, when you get saved, you need to learn a holy language.
So that's the King James version there. But anyway, the Holy Spirit
opens up the word of God to us. And of course, the more we can
understand the specific words of it, the more the Lord can
open it up to us. It's just remarkable that just,
I guess, as people say, peeling the layers of the onion. There's just so much. Show me
the truth concealed within thy word and in thy book revealed,
I see the Lord. I see the Lord. Is there another
one, Ron? That's it. OK, wow. Well, I probably should just
say, well, that's the that's our message tonight. But what a what a you know, we
sometimes we sing such marvelous and wonderful, powerful truth. And I was just really struck
as we were singing that tonight that, Lord, I really want that
to be my experience with you and your word every day. How
wonderful to walk in sweet fellowship with you in your word and through
it to have your image stamped in our life. And that's what
we want, isn't it? We want souls to be saved, but how are souls
going to be saved? It's as they see Christ in our
life, one, and as we share the message of Christ with our words,
two. Right. So it takes both. We've
got to we've got to really manifest the love and the spirit and the
presence and the power of Jesus Christ in our life. Well, thank you all for enduring
message number one. Now here's message number two.
So let's bow for prayer and we will finish up Psalm 110 tonight. Dear Father, we do come before
you so grateful to you, Lord, for your wonderful love and mercy
and grace to us. Lord, we know that in ourselves
we stand before you completely unworthy, completely selfish,
and proud, and disobedient, and everything imaginable that is
so much a characteristic of this flesh. But Father, we know that
in spite of that, you love us, that you made it possible for
us to be forgiven through Christ's death, through his coming and
paying the penalty in our place on our behalf. that we might
be forgiven and be given a new birth and made a new creature
in Christ Jesus acceptable to you. Father, we pray that you'll
bless your word now to our hearts and our minds, transform our
lives as we come to learn more about the Lord Jesus Christ.
May we grow in our love and respect and appreciation for him tonight.
And we pray in his name, amen. Well, I'd like to begin just
with an introductory verse here in 2 Kings chapter 6. This is
an account of the prophet Elisha. What happened was that the king
of Syria had come to fight against the nation of Israel. And the prophet Elisha was, through
direct revelation of God, knew what the strategy of the Syrian
army was, and he told it to the king of Israel. Of course, anyway,
the king of Syria thought that he had a spy in the midst and
all of that. Of course, we always have a spy
in the midst, don't we? The Lord is always with us. He
always knows everything that we're thinking and saying and
doing. But anyway, eventually, here's what happened. Let's go
here to 2 Kings 6, verse 14. Therefore sent he thither horses
and chariots and a great host. And they came by night and compassed
the city about. And when the servant of the man
of God was risen early and gone forth, behold, and host, compassed
the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said
unto him, Alas, my master, how shall we do? And he answered,
Fear not. Elisha answered his servant,
Fear not. They that be with us are more
than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed and said, Lord,
I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see. And the Lord opened
the eyes of the young man and he saw and behold, the mountain
was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. We'll just end right there with
that passage. And you know what we really need
as we come to the word of God is for the Lord to open our eyes
that we might see the realities in the spiritual realm that we
can't see with our physical eyes. So we want the Lord to do that
for us tonight in his word. Well, I have a visual aid. Can you all see that? Do we need to turn off the backlight? Oh, there it is, okay. All right,
now you can for surely see it. I just wanted to put this up
here to keep this visual in front of us that as we read this Psalm,
we have the Lord, who's the ultimate authority, and then we have David's
Lord. And David's Lord, of course,
is the Messiah or the Christ. And then there's David down below
at the bottom, as they say, the bottom of the totem pole. So
let's go there to Psalm 110. Psalm 110, a Psalm of David. The Lord said unto my lord, sit
thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion. Rule
thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in
the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the
womb of the morning. Thou hast the due of thy youth.
And this portion of the psalm, first of all, points out that
David's Lord is a king. David's Lord is going to rule
in the midst of his enemies. And David's Lord is going to
rule from Zion. Now Zion is the name of the mountain
that Jerusalem is built upon. So David's Lord is going to rule
from Mount Zion, from Jerusalem. Last time we got together, we
went over to Psalm number two to see the details of how that
was going to come about. that the kings of the earth were
set against the Lord and set against the Lord's anointed,
the Lord's Messiah, the Lord's Christ. Nevertheless, he was
going to rule even though the kings of the earth were set against
him. Important lesson to learn there,
isn't there? The kings of the earth are still set against the
Lord and still set against his Messiah, still set against his
Christ. And we've had a bit of a respite
from that here in the United States over the past couple of
hundred years. But it looks as if that respite is coming to
a close, isn't it? And we're seeing a more of a
movement against the Lord and against his Messiah. When there's
a movement against the Lord and against his Christ, certain things
start happening. One of the things that starts
happening is that people no longer regard the Bible as authoritative.
Instead, they regard the hypotheses and theories of men to be authoritative. So as a result, most people in
our country today believe that we evolved by chance rather than
being specifically created by God. People have set aside God's
absolute morality in favor of fluid morality. You know, people
say, well, that may be true for you, but it's not true for me.
That's still a very common thing to hear. But whenever you respect
the word of God, you don't talk like that. Right now, I know
that there are people I've talked with people that are Christians
and have a profession of faith, but they'll still say, well,
you know, that's that may be true for those people, but it's
not true for me. And so Christians are even influenced by that because
we're we're in a time that that even even the Lord's people,
to a large degree, are not influenced by the word of God. That's because
the rulers have set themselves against the Lord and have put
in place educational institutions and governmental institutions
that defy and turn away from the Bible. Have you ever been
to the Grand Canyon? Well, if you ever go, listen
to the park ranger tell the story about how the Grand Canyon was
formed over billions of years of evolution and natural processes
that brought about the canyon. Of course, that's their theory. Of course, it could have been
cut rather quickly with a major worldwide flood, but they're
not going to talk to you about that. No, they want to tell you
about the theory, but that's a governmental agent speaking
directly against the Bible. So the kings of the earth are
still set against the Lord and against his Messiah. And of course,
we see that today, don't we? And by today, I mean today. Today
with the people that want to destroy the nation of Israel,
God's promise was that he would bless those that blessed Abraham,
curse those who cursed Abraham, and the people are still out
to destroy the descendant of Abraham. So enough for that. All right. Also, last time we saw who the
identity of the of the Messiah is and the Messiah himself told
us. So let's go let's go to that
passage. Matthew, chapter 22. Matthew, chapter 22. To see who
is this Lord that David is talking about in this psalm. Matthew,
chapter 22. Notice what is said here. Matthew 22 and verse 43. The Pharisees were gathered together.
Jesus asked them saying, what think ye of Christ? Whose son
is he? They say unto him, the son of
David. And you know, that's a good answer
because the Lord made the promise to David in first Chronicles
chapter 17, verses seven through 14. And we looked at this last
time, but the promise to David that the savior was going to come
through David. Let's see, and they said unto
him, the son of David, he saith unto them, how then does David
in spirit call him Lord? Saying the Lord said unto my
Lord, sit down on my right hand until I make thine enemies thy
footstool. If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any
man from that day forth ask him any more questions." So, and
of course, this is the illustration that we have up here. So there's
David, and the one who's the go-between between David and
the Lord, that's actually David's son. That's actually David's
son, who is David's Lord. And so what we see in the first
three verses here is that David's son is the king. He's going to
rule. And we saw that. We spent some time on that last
time, talked about how his people were going to be willing in the
day of his power. And that reminded me of Romans
chapter eight. You know, in Romans chapter eight,
the scripture tells us that, well, let's take a look at that
because that has bearing on his people being willing in the day
of his power. You know, one of the things that
we struggle with in our Christian life is simply the willingness
to be the kind of person God wants us to be. And of course,
the reason that we struggle with that willingness is that the
flesh is unwilling. The flesh is still selfish. The
flesh is still, well, sinful. And in Romans 7, Paul said, I
know that in me that is in my flesh dwelleth no good thing.
He said, to will is present with me, but how to perform it, I
find not. So in the flesh, we have a constant
enemy fighting against, making us unwilling. But in the day that he comes,
it's going to be different. Romans chapter eight, look with
me at verse 20, Romans 8 20. It says this, the creature, the
creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by
reason of him who has subjected the same in hope, because the
creature itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption
into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know
that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth together in pain
until now. And not only they, not only they,
but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the spirit,
even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption,
or that is the inheritance, even, what is it that we're waiting
for? The redemption of our body. the time that this body is redeemed. And of course, the word redeemed
means to be rescued, released, released, and the time is going
to come that we'll receive a new body. like Christ's body, and
then there won't be any struggle. Won't that be wonderful? To be
willing in the day of his power. And of course, that's when he
returns. So, well, let's continue on.
In verse 4, the first thing that we saw was that David knew that
his Lord was a king. and that his Lord was going to
rule over the earth in spite of the fact that his enemies
didn't want him to rule. Let's go back now to Psalm 110. But the next thing that we see
in that Psalm, beginning in verse four, is that David's Lord, the
Christ, the Messiah, is not only a king, but he's a priest. And
he's made a, let's take a look at this. The Lord hath sworn
and will not repent. Thou art a priest forever after
the order of Melchizedek. So David is looking at his Lord,
seated there at the right hand of God. You're going to rule
over everyone, and you are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. So whenever David needed an intermediary
to go to God, he didn't go to Levi. He went
to the priest that's there after the order of Melchizedek. That's
who David's priest was. Let's go to the book of Hebrews
chapter seven. Hebrews chapter seven. No wonder there are some religions
that have sought to destroy this book throughout the ages. especially
sacerdotal religious institutions, religious institutions that are
dependent upon a human priesthood. They want to destroy this book
because this book here in Hebrews chapter 7 shows the complete
inadequacy of any human priest to be a go-between between any
human being and God. Hebrews chapter 7, let's begin
in verse 11 and just read along with me here. If therefore perfection
were by the Levitical priesthood, for under it the people received
the law, what further need was there that another priest should
rise after the order of Melchizedek and not be called after the order
of Aaron? The children of Israel, the children
of Abraham, of course, they had gone into Egypt and were slaves
in Egypt for 400 years. And then under the leadership
of Moses, The Lord brought them out of Egypt, redeemed them,
released them, rescued them through the blood of the Passover lamb
from Egypt. And they came out and they went
down to Mount Sinai and God made a covenant with them down there.
And the covenant that God made with them was a covenant that
he would bless them if they would obey his commandments. And one
of the commandments, set of commandments that God gave to them was to
build a house was to build a house and to ordain certain people
to be there that were going to offer the sacrifices in that
house of God. And so all of that was just a
picture. And the Lord told Moses that
it was a picture. He said, I want you to make this
tabernacle according to the pattern that I showed you whenever you
were up in the mountain with me. So Moses saw the way things
really were up there in the mountain and then he came down and made
a model. He made a replica of what was in the mountain. So
what happened with the people of Israel was that they looked
at the model and they mistook the model for the real thing.
So they were thinking that, well, yeah, if you go and offer these
sacrifices, that then you'll be forgiven the blood of the
bulls and goats, that's gonna take away your sin. That's what
they were thinking. But the blood of bulls and goats
could never take away sin. He tells us that here in Hebrews
chapter 10 in the first few verses there. And he even told the people
of Israel that the Lord is not pleased with the blood of bulls
and of goats and rams and all of that, no. The Lord's looking
on the heart, but he did give them that model. And the problem
was that the people looked at that model, that replica, that
visual aid, and they mistook it for the real thing. Kind of
like if you've got a picture of your spouse in your house,
all right? And you miss your spouse so much,
you just go over and pick up that picture and give it a big
hug and kiss, you know? Okay, well if you're, you know,
but what if your spouse is standing right there behind you? That's what they were doing.
They were enamored with the picture while turning away from the reality. If therefore perfection were
by the Levitical priesthood, for under it the people received
the law, what need was there that another priest should rise
after the order of Melchizedek and not be called after the order
of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, there was made
of necessity a change also of the law. For he of whom these
things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no
man gave attendance at the altar. For it is evident that our Lord,
there's that term, our Lord, sprang out of Judah. right out
of Judah and then out of David, of which tribe Moses spake nothing
concerning priesthood. And it is yet far more evident
for that after the similitude of Melchizedek, there arises
another priest, and there he's referring to the psalm that we're
looking at, Psalm 110, who is made not after the law of a carnal
commandment, but after the power of an endless life. For he testifieth,
thou art a priest forever. after the order of Melchizedek.
For there is verily a disanointing of the commandment going before,
for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof." So all the commandments
related to the Levitical priesthood and temple and all of that are annulled because they're
weak and profitable. For the law made nothing perfect,
but the bringing in of a better hope did, by the which we draw
nigh unto God. And insomuch as not without an
oath, he was made a priest. For those priests were made without
an oath. Of course, they were made without
an oath because they were going to die. Those priests were made
without an oath, but this with an oath by him that said unto
him, the Lord swear. The Lord swear, and will not
repent, thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. And they
truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue
by reason of death. Wherefore, but this man, because
he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore, he is
able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing
he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Aren't you glad that
you have the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior to make you acceptable
to God? And he'll never fail. He's never
going to die. He's always there so we can rest. Didn't he say here he's able
to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him? My
Bible has a little note here that says an alternate reading
to the uttermost or evermore. He's able to save ever more those
that come to God. That sounds like eternal security,
doesn't it? Right there in the book. So David's
king, is also a priest. And last time
we looked at a couple of verses to see prophecies of a king that's
going to be a priest. So we're not, for the sake of
time, we won't go back to those. I'd like for us to wrap up by
looking at the fact that David's Lord is a king and he's a priest
and he's a judge. He's a judge. Let's look at the
last few verses of the Psalm here. Psalm 110. Mm-mm. Verse 5, the Lord at thy right
hand will strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall
judge among the heathen. He shall fill the places with
the dead bodies. He shall wound the heads over
many countries. He shall drink of the brook in
the way. Therefore shall he lift up the head. So what David was
seeing here was Christ in power. Christ in power. You know, I
think most folks today, when they think of Christ, they think
of the babe born in a manger that went about healing and that
that was ultimately rejected and crucified and and and gone
to heaven. But the truth is, our savior,
our Christ is powerful. In fact, he said, all power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth. He has all authority.
I'd like for us to look at a couple of verses here quickly. Matthew
chapter 24. Matthew 24. And the Lord himself
talked about this when he was among us. Matthew chapter 24,
verses 29 and 30 says this. Immediately after those days,
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light.
And the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the
heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign
of the Son of Man in heaven. Then shall all the tribes of
the earth mourn. and they shall see the Son of Man coming in
the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. So that's what
David was seeing here. The Lord at thy right hand shall
strike through kings in the day of his wrath. And also Revelation
16, let's go there, Revelation 16, beginning in verse 14. Revelation
16. Verse 14 says, let's see. 14 through 16, it says, they are
the spirits of devils working miracles which go forth unto
the kings of the earth and of the whole world to gather them
to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come
as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth and
keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew
tongue, Armageddon. Armageddon. So that's the Lord
coming to face all the kings of the earth that are set against
him. But when he comes, he's coming to judge. He's coming
to judge. Let's go to 2 Thessalonians 1.
When the Lord returns the next time, He's coming with honor. He's
coming to be honored, and he's coming in honor. The scripture
tells us in Proverbs, in a couple of places, it says, before honor
is humility. When Christ came the first time,
he did come in humility. But when he comes next time,
he's coming in honor. He's coming in power and great
glory. And notice what Paul tells us here in 2 Thessalonians he's
going to do when he returns. 2 Thessalonians 1.6-9 It is a
righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble
you, and to you who are troubled It's a righteous thing to recompense
unto you rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed
from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, taking vengeance
on them that know not God and that obey not the gospel of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory
of his power. So he's coming in judgment. When
he comes next time, he's coming to judge, just as David foresaw
and prophesied therein in Psalm 110. He will be in triumph. Let's
go to Revelation chapter 19 to see the description of his coming
in triumph. Revelation 19 verse 11 John says,
I saw heaven opened, and, behold, a white horse. And he that sat
upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness
he doth judge and make war. And his eyes were as a flame
of fire, and on his head were many crowns. and he had a name
written that no man knew but he himself. And he was clothed
with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called the word
of God. And the armies which were in
heaven followed him upon white horses clothed in fine linen,
white and clean. Out of his mouth goeth a sharp
sword that with it he should smite the nations, and he shall
rule them with a rod of iron. And he treadeth the winepress
of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God. And if you go
over to chapter 14, where it talks about him treading that
winepress, it says that the blood of that winepress is gonna be
up to the horse's bridles. Yes. Okay. He treadeth the winepress
of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God, verse 15. Verse
16, he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written,
King of kings and Lord of lords. And I saw an angel standing in
the sun, and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowl
that fly in the midst of heaven, come and gather yourselves together
unto the supper of the great God, that you may eat the flesh
of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the
flesh of horses, of them that sit on them, the flesh of all
men, both free and bond, both small and great. Let's go back
to Psalm 110. The Lord at thy right hand shall
strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge
among the heathen. He shall fill the places with
the dead bodies. He shall wound the heads over
many countries. And then finally, the last verse
there, he shall drink of the brook in the way, therefore shall
he lift up the head. Drinking of the brook in the
way, that's referring to swift judgment. He is coming swiftly. He's not going to stop and have
a party. When he comes, he's coming swiftly.
He's going to be, in a sense, refreshed by a quick drink from
the brook. Kind of like Gideon in Judges
chapter eight, verse four. It tells about how Gideon, the
Lord prepared some men or had some men that were going to go
with Gideon to fight against the enemies, the Midianites.
And who did the Lord choose to go with Gideon to destroy the
enemy? It was the men that lapped, the
men that went down to the water and went like that to get a drink
instead of getting down on their hands and knees, you know, face
down. But the men that could drink quickly and stay on the
move. So those men went with Gideon and it says they were
weary yet pursuing. They continued on until they
had destroyed the enemies. And Christ, when he comes, he's
going to come and he's going to continue on. The idea is complete
destruction, complete destruction of them. There's not going to
be a break in the action. He's going to drink from the
brook in the way and continue on until they're totally destroyed.
Lifting up the head. Lifting up the head. Psalm number
three, verse three talks about lifting up the head. And there's
a there's a couple of ways that the scripture refers to lifting
the head. One is victory. One is victory. Psalm number three, verse three.
But thou, Lord, art a shield for me, my glory and the lifter
of my head. And also Psalm number 27, verse
six. Psalm 27.6 makes this statement. And now shall mine head be lifted
up above all mine enemies round about me. Therefore will I offer
in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy. I will sing, yea, I will
sing praises unto the Lord. So lifting up the head is an
indication of victory. Christ is going to have victory.
But not only is his head going to be lifted up in victory, But
he is the judge. He's the one that's going to
decide whose head is going to be lifted up. Do you remember
the account in Genesis chapter 40? Remember the butler and the
baker who were in prison with Joseph? And they had their dreams. And Joseph interpreted their
dreams and he told the butler, in three days, Pharaoh is going
to lift up your head and place you back in your position. And
he told the baker, in three days, Pharaoh is going to lift up your
head and execute you. So the lifting up of the head
by the judge. The judge is the one that decides
how people's heads are going to be lifted up. And there are
some other scriptures about this, but I'd like for us to close
with these two. One is the book of Acts chapter
17. Christ is the judge. Acts chapter
17. And verse 31, Acts 17, 31, tells
us that Christ is the judge. It says this, Acts 17, 31. He, God, hath appointed a day
in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man
whom he hath ordained. What we saw in Psalm 110, that
the Lord planned all the way back in the days of David and
before, who was going to judge the earth. By that man whom he
hath ordained, whereof he hath given assurance unto all men,
in that he hath raised him from the dead. And then finally, the
gospel of John chapter five. John chapter five and verse 22. Christ makes this statement. The father judges no man, but
hath committed all judgment unto the son, that all men should
honor the son, even as they honor the father. He that honoreth
not the son, honoreth not the father which has sent him. May the Lord open our eyes to
the greatness of our Lord Jesus Christ and to the fact that not
only did he come and die on the cross to pay for our sins, but
he's going to rule the earth one day, and he's going to put
down and destroy all those that are set against him. But in the
meantime, He is offering salvation to everyone that will come unto
God through him. He is the high priest. He is,
by God's oath, the one through whom we can come to God and be
forgiven of our sins and receive the gift of eternal life. OK,
Revelation 1-7 simply says, Behold, he cometh. Behold, he cometh. May the Lord make each one of
us ready by being believers in Christ, but also living for him. Amen. Brother Pat.
