Psalms 117 -{Brethren who is this God that showed Promise?} God is singular and gods is plural Right? Otherwise there is no Language or vocabulary in English to discern between the singular and the plural very dangerous, and that is confusion. Brethren study of the Psalms below is great, its the commentary By Shining light author that makes it confusing! David is worshiping his father and God and only makes reference to the future Messiah as just that. He has no relationship with his future son. His relationship is with His father and only God in Heaven. He never hints that his future son will be his God!  

Shining light blog below with my commentary in bold

God showed promise to Abraham and calling physical Israel out of Egypt;  He has shown great mercy in calling an early harvest out of bondage to sin over the past 6,000 years.  God’s word is truth and it shall endure and be kept by the faithful forever!  Instead of compromising with and rejecting the truth of God to exalt our false traditions and idols of men and corporations; we should be rejoicing at our calling our of such sin,  and into becoming ONE with the Father and the Son!  117:1 O praise the LORD,(3068 meaning self existent, or eternal,Jewish national name of God.) all ye nations: praise Him, all ye people.  117:2 For His merciful  kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endures for ever. Praise ye the LORD. We know that Him  and His are singular pronouns and that it was the Father who raised the nonxistent Jesus back to Life. Only the father has immortality I Tim 6:15-16 and is eternal by the fact there was never a time when he did not exist. Jesus did not exist before his genesis in Matt.1:18 and he didn’t exist for 72 hours at his death. Psalm 118 The mercy of YHVH [who became Jesus Christ] (Jesus is the created son of YHVH) is endless for the sincerely repentant who love him and his word enough to follow him and keep his word!  John 14:10

He(The father) will deliver us out of bondage to sin and out of the grave to eternal life if we will only keep the whole word of God zealously! Here David calls on all the people of god to rejoice in the context of the mercy of God in calling and delivering Israel out of bondage in Egypt, as a type of God doing the same thing spiritually for spiritual Israel!  Passover is a type of deliverance from sin through the sacrifice of the Lamb of God, and the next evening beginning the Feast of Unleavened Bread is a type of the actual coming out of sin by the great and tender mercies of our Lamb.  Instead of a glutinous meal and idle gossip, do think on and discuss God’s deliverance for his faithful sincere keepers of his word; on the Night to be Much Remembered as the beginning of physical Israel’s march of deliverance out of Egypt, and  our march of spiritual deliverance out of sin. 118:1 O give thanks unto the LORD;(3068 the father) for HE is good:(How do we know for sure this is the father because Jesus says so in scripture  Luke 18:19 No one is good but One,that is God, Jesus also equates the only one as being good as God Himself. Absolute Revelation Brethren)because His mercy endureth for ever. 118:2 Let Israel now say, that His mercy endureth for ever. 118:3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that His mercy endureth for ever. 118:4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that His mercy endureth for ever. If we love Jesus enough to keep the whole word of God which he inspired,(Jesus inspired nothing, he was inspired by scripture as we are, In his first test against Satan after 40 days of drawing close to God he quotes Deut.6:13 in all three temptations. and we sincerely repent of doing our own ways; then he will deliver us into the large place of the spiritual Promised Land of eternal life! 118:5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. Regardless of what happens to us physically; if we are faithful unto our death; we have the Promise of Almighty God(Is the father) to bring us out of our graves and into his Promised Land of eternal life.  No person, not an angel or some elder, can separate us from the love of our Mighty One! (Our God and Father and Jesus God and father) Only our own sins and our refusal to keep every word of God can separate us from God; and even then He(Our father) still loves us and will correct us!   What man or spirit can condemn the faithful when our High Priest(Is Jesus both God and the High priest that conducts the service to a Himself?)daily makes intercession for us His beloved? Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God,(Who is at the right Hand of our God and his God, the man Jesus) who also maketh intercession for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? We shall be tempted, tried and even killed for our love for the whole word of God, to keep it, as Jesus was; yet death will have no power to hold us, as it had no power to hold our Leader! ³⁶ As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. ³⁷ Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities nor  powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39  shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Be strong and of a good courage as we commit ourselves to faithfully keep the whole word of the Eternal, with enthusiastic zeal!  Sincerely repent of past sins and the idolizing of men and their institutions and false traditions.  The Eternal who parted the Red Sea and destroyed the first born of Egypt is on our side; IF we are on HIS side and keep his word to follow him wherever he goes! 118:6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? The Eternal will take the party with all of those who zealously take HIS part and love him enough to DO what he teaches!  The Eternal will correct those who persecute his people and when they eventually repent they will turn to the same kind of zeal to love, learn and keep the whole word of God. (Jesus keep the whole word of His God and received the gift of eternal Life.)  yet the adamantly unrepentant shall have their part in the eternal destruction of the lake of fire.  118:7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. Trust if God and his whole word more than anything else!  test the words of all men against the whole word of God and hold fast ONLY to what is good according to the whole word of God. 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. 118:9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. All those who attack and persecute the faithful zealous of God shall be corrected and if necessary destroyed.  yes even the many elders of the various COG groups who pressure and persecute the righteous, to try and turn them away from their zeal, shall be thrown into the correction of great tribulation.  When sin surrounds us and rises up against us; if we RUN to our God and his word; we shall be delivered from that sin. 118:10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. 118:11 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. In the name of [by the authority of, the command of] the Eternal shall all the enemies of righteousness [the word of God], be destroyed. (We read above that the Lord Eternal God Our father will give us the same reward he gave His son Jesus eternal life.)

118:12 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. The enemy of Satan and sin has worked hard to make us fall away from our zeal for our God;(And Father) resist him in the name of the Eternal and victory shall gifted to us by our Deliverer,(Our Father)  as he led physical Israel victorious out of Egypt! 118:13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. David now begins to quote the song of Moses [Ex 15, Rev 15]  which is to be sung by the bride before the throne of the Father in heaven!  Our God is mighty, he is valiant, he is gloriously victorious over all his enemies [Satan and sin];  he is great and greatly to be honored and praised! 118:14 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. 118:15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 118:16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. David did die physically,  here he refers to the resurrection to eternal life after which he will eternally declare the mighty works of YHVH, the Eternal. 118:17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. God will correct his people who stray, to bring them back to him, but will not give up on those he has called, or give us over to the flames.  Only we can choose the eternal death of fire by our adamant refusal to repent from our departure from the word of God. (David new that His Eternal Yehovah, His Father, His LORD would be with him in and see him through.)

118:18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. God  is righteousness; and his whole word defines the righteousness of God! 118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: 118:20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. God hears our sincere repentance and gives us his merciful salvation by applying the sacrifice of the Lamb of God to us. 118:21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. David prophesies of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God,(Exactly that a Future prophecy which came from His God and father) and how he would be rejected for a time.  David prophesies of the day of salvation, Passover: when the Lamb of God is sacrificed for the salvation of the people. (David Had faith this took place 1000 years after his death)118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. 118:23 This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.  118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.  118:25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.(David Pleading with His God and father) Blessed are all those who are faithful and bear the name of the Eternal for their complete submission and faithfulness to him and his word. 118:26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. The Lamb of God brought spiritual understanding and  LIGHT;(1000 years latter) as the sacrifices are bound on the altar, so the Lamb of God was bound as our sacrifice by his promise.   118:27 God is the LORD,(3068 Our Father) which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. Here we have a most fitting end to the Passover service; a praise of God for his eternal mercies for his creation! 118:28 Thou art my God,(and father) and I will praise thee:(singular) thou art my God, I will exalt thee.(Singular Thee)  118:29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: (Again we know this is the father because Jesus own words “NO one Is Good but One)for his mercy endureth for ever.        Psalm 115 David writes that all glory belongs to God, for he had delivered those who could not deliver themselves.  As physical Israel could not come out of Egypt on their own, spiritual Israel cannot come out of sin on their own.  If we do not follow the whole word of God, we remain in our sin and cannot get free from it. For sin is the transgression of any part of the word of God! 115:1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake. The heathen look to gods(Plural any one but the father) that they can see, like men and corporate institutions; they ask where is our God so that they can see him!  Today all men “say” that they follow God, as they ask what “church” organization we attend, or what man’s teachings do we follow, as they teach for doctrine the commandments of men. (The Nicean Doctrine of “God the Son” found nowhere in scripture.)

Mark 7:6   He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. ⁷ Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Psalms 115:2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? The God of the faithful called out I sin heaven and does as as he pleases being the sum of Wisdom, truth and Power!  In  due time The Father shall send his Son to the earth and then the earth shall tremble at his presence.; for he shall destroy the wickedness of acting contrary to his word in any matter! 115:3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. There are many idols made of silver and gold ,but the idols of the church of God leadership are gold and silver itself  and the false doctrines of men.(And the off shoots of WWCOG all teach the Nicean Doctrine that the son of our one Father and God is Now two gods, which is more than one, and Over a billion believe that 1 God means three gods.)   We cleave to the false traditions of men rather than follow the word of our God. (The word of God says 1 God)  As statues can neither hear nor speak; those who follow their own ways instead of the whole word of God are ignorant and cannot speak the truth or wisdom of God. 115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.  115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:  115:6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: 115:7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. Those who do not trust and follow the Lamb of God are like the dumb statues that men make!  and every person who trusts in and follows idols of men and traditions(The Shining light blog follows these traditions) and corporate edifaces; is as ignorant as any other idol worshipper. 115:8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. Let spiritual Israel trust in the Mighty God (Which is the father)who can deliver us out of our bondage to sin; and trut not in our false traditions and idols of men!  115:9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD:(3068 the father) he is their help and their shield. The physical priesthood of the  house of Aaron is a physical allegory to teach us  that every single spiritually Called Out person, has been called to the birthright [IF they endure and overcome and prove themselves faithful and loyal to Christ and his whole word]; of becoming priests of the priesthood of Jesus Christ.  Let us trust in our high Priest(I thought you said he was our God! Which is it, high priest leading the service to the one God, can’t be both) and follow him, being obedient to the whole of his word! Instead of following men and their false traditions, including the false traditions contained in the COG traditional Passover service! 115:10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: He(Not They) is their help and their shield.  115:11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.(3068 everyone refers to the father) The Eternal(The father) is ever mindful of his faithful, and will bless his New Covenant Called Out to his priesthood, who are faithful and put their trust in HIM! (Not Them)  He (Not they)will bless them most of all, in spiritual growth in the knowledge and understanding of his perfect word of wisdom and truth a d life eternal in the perfection of godliness! 115:12 The LORD(3068 Singular) hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. Those who respect the whole word of God to learn and to do it; will be greatly spiritually blessed and will be raised up from the depths of the grave to eternal life as spirit! 115:13 He (Why is it never They or them if your a Trinitarian?) will bless them that fear the LORD,(LORD’S) both small and great. Once they are resurrected to spirit, the Family of God and our responsibilities as the early harvest will continue to increase forever! 115:14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.(Brethren this {LORD Adonia} is never in scripture speaking of Jesus he is always reffered to as lord which is Adoni.) Those who follow the Lamb wherever HE goes, and  are completely faithful to HIM and HIS Word, will be greatly blessed of the Eternal; while those who prefer their traditions and exalt men and corporate entities above the whole word of God shall be strongly corrected, and if they remain unrepentant will utterly perish. 115:15 Ye are blessed of the LORD(Adonia The Father  which made heaven and earth.)(Brethren we need this basic knowledge of who is speaking in scripture so we can understand who is God and who is not, which is everyone including Jesus the son of this one God. God is not created in the womb of a women! Physical people dwell on the earth and cannot cross the void into heaven; only spirit can cross from earth to heaven and back.  Only t hose completely faithful to follow the whole word of God without any compromise, will be changed to spirit. 115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. If we die in our sins unrepentant in our final death in the fire; we shall never be able to learn or do anything again forever.  115:17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. The faithful followers of Christ and the whole word of God; shall be changed to spirit and shall rejoice in their lot for all eternity! 115:18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Eternal,  (Our God and father loved us so much that He gave us his only fathered son. John 3:16) who by his sacrifice, his word and his spirit; has led all that follow him out of the spiritual Egypt of sin and into the spiritual Promised land of eternal life! Praise the LORD (Our Father In heaven.).( Psalm 116 When we were yet sinners, Christ died for us; and then the Father   convicted us of our sins, revealing the need for repentance and the application of the sacrifice of the Lamb of God;   calling us to Christ to become a part of his collective bride. Then when the Eternal(Our father)heard the voice of our repentance and forgave us, applying his (Son’s) blood sacrifice to us; we realized how much he has done for us, and were filled with love for him because of the love he showed for us!  Please read this story beginning about Luke 7:37.

Luk 7:47   Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

Brethren You read below and fill in all the corrections of This man’s misunderstanding of scripture and someone paste and copy and send this all back to Shining Light blog and see if he will respond and correct his error he writes daily in his blog. This should be the most exciting understanding since you first learned Gods’ truth.

Psalms 116:1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Those who understand the depth of our need to be forgiven and who understand the tremendous sacrifice that the Father and the Son have made in caring for humanity and working out their plan for salvation; will be utterly faithful to become spiritually ONE with them forever.  The proud and self righteous will lean to their own ways and their idols of men, organizations and false traditions above the word of God!  They claim to love Christ, but they love him in words only and not in deeds; they love their false ways more than they love Christ.  116:2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. When we realize our sins and we repent sorrowing over the death we deserve for our wickedness; sorrowing in pain that hell has us in its grasp. 116:3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then we sincerely repent and turn back to serve the Eternal and his word, throwing ourselves on his mercy. 116:4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.  116:5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. The simple of the Psalms are referred to by Christ in the Beatitudes as the poor in spirit.  You can find a discussion of the poor in spirit in our Glorious Living! newsletter archive to be found at the blogroll on the page sidebar.  The simple or poor in spirit are those who are poor in the spirit of self and of pride, and are humble and submissive to the whole word of God!  When we sin and are brought low and humbled; when we cry out in our sincere humble repentance; then the Eternal will extend his mercy to us and forgive us, and reconcile us with the Father bringing us spiritual peace and rest. 116:6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.  116:7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. 116:8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. It is better to be subject to the word of God, which is wisdom and truth; then to cleave to our own ways that bring eternal destruction.  David learned to give up his trust of men, and to trust in the Eternal.  We should also learn never to trust in any man, and we should test every word of man by the whole word of God. 116:9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. 116:10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:  116:11 I said in my haste, All men are liars. How can we repay the eternal for his mercy and his deliverance? 116:12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? By taking of the Passover cup of Salvation, the very cup of Redemption that Jesus blessed with the unleavened bread as a symbol of his shed blood for the redemption of his  people.  Partaking of the Passover is to commit ourselves to follow the Lamb of God withersoever he goeth. We repay the love of the Eternal; by loving him back, by committing to obeying and following HIM and HIS word! By trying to please him, and by not listening to any other who teaches us to compromise or turn away from any part of his word! 116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. Our baptismal vow [commitment] of espousal to Christ; was to keep the whole word of God without any turning aside, or any hint of compromise. We are to keep our vow of espousal to Christ and to be a shining witness to all of the earth of the wondrous word of God! 116:14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. The physical death of the faithful Called Out is precious to the Eternal; for they have run their race and have won the victory over all temptations and trials, and proved themselves a fit part of the collective spiritual Bride! 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. The faithful Called Out are true servants of their master, their espoused Husband and Deliverer; who has redeemed them from death for their now sincerely repented sins! 116:16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. Let us be grateful for our deliverance and keep our baptismal espousal vows to obey our Husband and to follow after NO other! 116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.  116:18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. Let us always do the will of our Lord as recorded in his word;  with all our hearts. Let us keep his word without compromise or any turning to the right or to the left.  Let us continually rejoice in the love, the mercy, of our beloved! 116:19 In the courts of the LORD’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD
