THE TARSUS TURN http://tarsusturn.posterous.com Abre mis ojos posterous.com Sun, 16 Sep 2012 18:52:00 -0700 Psalm 1: Separating the Righteous from the Wicked http://tarsusturn.posterous.com/psalm-1-separating-the-righteous-from-the-wic http://tarsusturn.posterous.com/psalm-1-separating-the-righteous-from-the-wic

  

The Righteous

1. WALK: Walks not in the ungodly's counsel, avoids the path of sinners (to avoid temptation) and does not sit in the seat of scoffers

2. THOUGHT: Delight is in the law (the character of God), meditates 24/7

3. RESULT: tree by rivers that is fruitful, prosper, leaf does not wither.

The Ungodly - reap "the grapes of Sodom."

1.  RESULT: Chaff - blown away, unsubstantiall oerusg

2. "Shall not stand in the judgment" - to stand is to last, to endure.

Chaff is lightweight and of no value

Matthew Henry's Commentary

They are like chaff, of no worth at all in God’s account, how highly soever they may value themselves. Would you know the temper of their minds? They are light and vain; they have no substance in them, no solidity; they are easily driven to and fro by every wind and temptation, and have no stedfastness. Would you know their end? The wrath of God will drive them away in their wickedness, as the wind does the chaff, which is never gathered nor looked after more. The chaff may be, for a while, among the wheat; but he is coming whose fan is in his hand and who will thoroughly purge his floor. Those that by their own sin and folly make themselves as chaff will be found so before the whirlwind and fire of divine wrath (Ps. 35:5), so unable to stand before it or to escape it, Isa. 17:13

Bottom line is this: those who are godless are of no worth to God. Eli's sons Hophni and Phinehas too the best portions of the sacrifice for themselves, had illicit sexual relations and were supposed to be priests!

What does God esteem?

"Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD." (1 Sam 2:12)

Belial = worthlesness, of no esteem, lawlessness, wicked and worthelss.

2 Cor 6:15 What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever?

2 Cor 6:16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

[Note: back to Eden pre-Fall: And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. (Genesis 3:8)

2 Cor 6:17 Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you,

Separation comes at Judgment but it also comes before judgment, by those who willingly subject themselves to the Lord and call Him Sovereign. We come out from the midst of unbelievers to be a holy nation, and royal priesthood. But leaving, exit, is a choice, and human agency must be exercised wisely.

Sat, 18 Aug 2012 21:16:00 -0700 Sodom as Precedent Warning against Destruction for lawlessness http://tarsusturn.posterous.com/sodom-as-precedent-warning-against-destructio http://tarsusturn.posterous.com/sodom-as-precedent-warning-against-destructio

 

The account of Sodom's destruction is in Genesis 18-19. Key points to note:

(1) God does not hide what He is to do from His prophets: vv 17-18

(2) Gravity: "the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great" as their sin was "very grievous" (v20)

(3) Abraham intercedes "Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?" (v23) Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? (v25) - 50 to 10.

(4) Lot: from the "plain" oriented towards Sodom to the gate of Sodom (place of authority; Lot wanted significance so got into bed with sodomites - compromised his identity) - sojourner to judge they mocked!

(5) People of Sodom wanted to "know" the 2 angels/visitors i.e. rape.

(6) Lot so compromised - offered his 2 daughters "do ye to them as is good in your eyes; only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof."(v8)

(7) Struck with blindness (judgment) but did not cease groping the door (blind and groping!) Cannot take warning.

(8) Sons in law could not take warning.

(9) entire cities are punished- warning to get out : Lot was warned as morning dawned, "but he lingered" - The Lord's mercy - seized by the men

(10) Go to hills but Lot wanted to go to little city (Zoar)

(11) Wine and Incest (Dionysus)

  • Zeus and Hera - brother and sister, husband and wife
  •  Cronus and Rhea (married siblings)
  • Uranus and Gaia (son and mother)

In Egyptian mythology, the gods frequently married their siblings. For example, Shu and Tefnut are brother and sister and they produced another pair of gods, Geb and Nut. Their children were Isis, Osiris, Set and Nephthys; Isis married Osiris, and Set Nephthys.

King Arthur - half sister Morgause - Mordred - ultimate nemesis

Biblical references to Sodom

1) A proudful declaration/celebration of sin - gay "pride"

Isaiah 1: 7-8 8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory.

9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

2. Comparison to "Worst Practices"

Romans 9:29 And just as Isaiah foretold, "UNLESS THE LORD OF SABAOTH HAD LEFT TO US A POSTERITY, WE WOULD HAVE BECOME LIKE SODOM, AND WOULD HAVE RESEMBLED GOMORRAH."

3. Judgment of the Nations

Matt 10:15 I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

4. Sodom as Precedent - Extinction - making an example of what happens to the ungodly - God cannot be mocked.

2 Peter 2:6 if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;

Amos 4:11 I overthrew some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet you did not return to me,” declares the LORD.

Isaiah 13:19 Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the glory of the Babylonians' pride, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah.

Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

THE LAND SUFFERS AS A RESULT OF SIN

Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. (2) By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. (3) Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.

Leviticus 18:3 After the doings of the land of Egypt , wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan , whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.

 

Leviticus 18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

(25) And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

(26) Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:

(27) (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)

A WARNING PRECEDENT: SODOM AND GOMORRAH

 

Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

JUDGMENT AND LIABILITY: SINNERS AND APPROVERS OF SIN

Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure (agree with) in them that do them.

Proverbs 11:21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered

America has been undergoing one of its worst heat waves in June-July 2012. Colarado fires. There is a correlation between this and its immorality, lead top-down by the Obama administration and bottom-up by wicked Hard Left fascists promoting the sodomite agenda and the equalisation of homosexuality with God's divine creation order.

 

Leviticus 18: if you defile the land, you will be spewed out; because the land is sick. When Cain murdered Abel, Abel's blood cried out from the earth. Nothing is hidden from the eyes of a just and holy God.

 

Genesis 15:16 carries the principle of the iniquity of the Amorites (now Americans) being full - America has walked in the ordinances (law and custom) of the sodomites.

 

Slouching towards Gomorrah? Isaiah 5:20 - evil is called good? We are there. Obama declared June 2012 LGBT pride month. And Obama wanted to divide the land of Israel. And Obama bowed to the Saudi Arabian king. The confluence of events is a clear sign of the latest incarnation of the anti-christ Spirit, its relentless push for immorality and anti-Semitism.

 

But God is not to be mocked: there are reports of a impending food crisis - because of the heat, the corn and soybean crop have failed - this will put an entire industry into recession, with global implications. The ethanol industry will fail. Prices will soar. Wicked America. It used to bless the world, now it has become a curse. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to the American people. Stage 3 of the Romans 1 degeneration.

 

May God have mercy on the righteous who dwell in that land. Remnant.

 

The articles below sets it out.

 

  1. The weakening of crop like corn, soybean - rising prices, domestic food inflation
  2. As prices rise, farmers may feed livestock more wheat - rising prices - global inflation (Arab uprisings - stockpiling wheat from Algeria to Saudi Arabia)
  3. Herds are culled - prices depressed - nothing to feed them
  4. Decline of ethanol industry

 

U.S. drought pushes world to food crisis July 20, 2012, UPI - The worst U.S. drought in 56 years is pushing the world to a food crisis, officials said as scorching Midwest heat sent corn and soybean prices to record highs

There are consequences to iniquity:

 

He turns rivers into a wilderness… A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. Psalm 107:33, 34

 

But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. Genesis 15:16

 

After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. Leviticus 18:3

 

Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. Proverbs 11:21

 

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God Psalm 9:17

.

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 1:7

 

Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. Isaiah 1:7

 

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Proverbs 14:24

 

He and she who has eyes to see and ears to hear, awaken and arise.

 

Noah. Ark. Warning. Mocking. Judgment.

 

The 21st century incarnation of the anti-christ spirit. Mystery Babylon. Humanism, Hubris, Homosexuality.
