Psalm 102:13-28
8-21-2022
You will arise and have pity on Zion; it is the time to favor her; the appointed time has come. For your servants hold her stones dear and have pity on her dust. Nations will fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory. For the Lord builds up Zion; he appears in his glory; he regards the prayer of the destitute and does not despise their prayer. Let this be recorded for a generation to come so that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord: that he looked down from his holy height; from heaven the Lord looked at the earth, to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die, that they may declare in Zion the name of the Lord, and in Jerusalem his praise, when peoples gather together, and kingdoms, to worship the Lord. He has broken my strength in mid-course; he has shortened my days. “O my God,” I say, “take me not away in the midst of my days—you whose years endure throughout all generations!” Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
but you are the same, and your years have no end. The children of your servants shall dwell secure; their offspring shall be established before you.
Often as I study the Word of God, I am amazed at how different our Lord is from religion and other faiths. For the Lord builds up Zion; he appears in his glory; he regards the prayer of the destitute and does not despise their prayer. How different our Lord is, from the world’s religion, which looks down on the destitute and the under-resourced. But our God and Father not only hear their prayers, but He is clear in his word that we should encourage them and help them to clothe and feed their families.
As one who has two great young men as grandsons, my wife and I have along with their mom and dad, told them. the value of Christ living His life in them.
Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away, but you are the same, and your years have no end. The children of your servants shall dwell secure; their offspring shall be established before you.
How wrong can one get about this global warming, He talked to the Lord about the heaven and the earth, and this Psalmist had a clear understanding of how they came about. The apostle John also had a clear understanding of the heavens and the earth were created look at John 1:1-5, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Matthew 24:25, Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. The good news and the Scriptures are clear that the Climate religion has no future. It is based on that man can destroy what God has made. Foolish people preach fear to little children. The book of the Revaluation has this to say on the subject; “Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Revaluation 21:1-4 has much to say about a new heaven and earth. “Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
