Psalm 107

Stream Franklin Jeff Walling 

Stream Franklin and Jeff Walling point to the DRYING UP of the Waters of the Word defined throughout the Bible.  Because I was called a liar so many times for telling people that someone was slipping their church out of their pockets, and because my old church in Seattle lied, cheated and stole "the church house of widows" who were left out in the cold, I take this challenge to show who people are deceived by the people who deny inspiration and "give themselves liberty" to write their own narrative and include themselves as a greater than Jesus.

Too bad that when proof texts are extracted to make up a sermon, the church totally misses the TEXT of the Psalm as it and other identify the musical idolatry which caused the loss of grace at Mount Sinai. Stephen will be murdered because he told the generation of vipers that God had TURNED THEM OVER TO WORSHIP THE STARRY HOST because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai.  Psalm 107 is not for sangy-clangy types but a WARNING of the terminal fall from grace MARKED by music from Genesis to Revelation.  There, the Mother of Harlots makes her final lung using theatrical speakers, singers and musicians as SORCERERS. This new center of pagan music centers on a church "infiltrated and diverted" as they boast to be a "theater for holy entrtainment" and the enrichment of the confiscators.  I saw a post and this is my quicky post which I will enhance to prove that Apollyon has unleashed the Locusts which are the MUSES in the Book of Revelation. After listening to a snatch of "praise singing" I could see just how far the church had returned to rank paganism after sowing discord in order to occupy rather than build their own property.

The direct command of Paul intended that we use such Psalms.  While a simple singing style might help, the purpose Paul had in mind was that we use these psalms as THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN for education.  Valid preaching would be able to fill in the blanks and point to the EVENT the Psalmist is discussing.  Just chanting the words might be worse than nothing.

There are several Psalms which speak of the rescue from Egypt: the same "patternism" is seen at creation, the flood and the later fall of Israel back into a void and empty state.  Darkness on the face of the deep may point to ignorance or lack of spiritual light. I will comment bcause I am doing some more FRUIT of the spirit and came across a similar statement of the coming of God in Jesus.  Psalm 106 has the same theme:  

Psalm 106:12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
Psalm 106:13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
Psalm 106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
Psalm 106:15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

Psalm 106:16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the Lord.
Psalm 106:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
Psalm 106:18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
Psalm 106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
Psalm 106:20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
Psalm 106:21 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

Moses MARKED musical idolatry by it sounds:

And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome; but the noise of them that sing do I hear. Ex.32:18

Anah (h6031) aw-naw'; a prim. root [possibly rather ident. with 6030 through the idea of looking down or browbeating]; to depress lit. or fig. abase self, afflict (-ion, self), answer [by mistake for 6030], chasten self, deal hardly with, defile.. hurt, ravish, sing..

Anah (h6030) aw-naw'; a prim. root; prop. to eye or (gen.) to heed, i. e. pay attention; by impl. to respond; by extens. to begin to speak; spec. to sing, shout, testify, announce: - give account, afflict [by mistake for 6031], (cause to, give) answer, bring low [by mistake for 6031], cry, hear, Leannoth, lift up, say, * scholar, (give a) shout, sing (together by course), speak, testify, utter, (bear) witness. See also 1042, 1043.

HANG ON TO THAT: WE WILL NEED IT WHEN YOU QUIT LAUGHING AT GOD.

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; Proverbs 1:24

 
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: Proverbs 1:25  
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; Proverbs 1:26  

Laugh: Sachaq (h7832) saw-khak'; a prim. root; and can mean: to laugh (in pleasure or detraction); by impl. to play: - deride, have in derision, laugh, make merry, mock (-er), play, rejoice, (laugh to) scorn, be in (make) sport.  

Of the rising up to play at Mount Sinai as Mocking God: 

"The triumphal hymn of Moses had unquestionably a religious character about it; but the employment of music in religious services, though idolatrous, is more distinctly marked in the festivities which attended the erection of the golden calf." (Smith's Bible Dictionary, Music, p. 589).  
Mock is: Leag (h3932) law-ag'; a prim. root; to deride; by impl. (as if imitating a foreigner) to speak unintelligibly: - have in derision, laugh (to scorn), mock (on), stammering.

So, when you hear the MUSIC and the LAUGHTER it is probably, as at Mount Sinai, God making you into a laughingstock.

One has to be a viper to make Psalm 107 into an occasion for an outburst of ridicule:

Ps 107:1  O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Ps 107:2  Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
Ps 107:3  And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
Ps 107:4  They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
Ps 107:5  Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
Ps 107:6  Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
Ps 107:7  And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

Ps 107:8  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Ps 107:9  For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

Amos 5f and Isaiah 5 specificially point to this same MUSIC which pointed to the Sabazianism IMPOSED on the nations because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai.  The people were fleeced but hungered and thirsted for the Word of God. They wandered around from STREAM to STREAM but Frankly, they were all DRY.  The result was that God would carry out the captivity and death sentence imposed at Mount Sinai, the women would be led out with fishhooks in their nose (take a look) and God said I WILL NOT PASS BY THERE AGAIN.  Their musical madness was the MARK of lostness and God abandoned them.

Ps 107:10  Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
Ps 107:11  Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
Ps 107:12  Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

Organon , to, ( [ergon, erdô] ) I. an implement, instrument, 

Ergon  [Ergô] I.work, 1. in Il. mostly of deeds of war, polemêïaerga, 3.a hard piece of work, a hard task, Il.: also, a shocking deed or act,

A. instrument, implement, tool, for making or doing a thing
3. musical instrument, Simon.31, f.l. in A.Fr.57.1 ; of the pipe, Melanipp.2, Telest.1.2

This is the ORGAN handled by JUBAL meaning WITHOUT AUTHORITY.

Ps 107:13  Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
Ps 107:14  He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

H2822 chôshek kho-shek' From H2821 ; the dark; hence (literally) darkness; figuratively misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness:--dark (-ness), night, obscurity

H6757 tsalmâveth tsal-maw'-veth From H6738 and H4194 ; shade of death, that is, the grave (figuratively calamity):--shadow of death.

Ps 107:15  Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

H3034 yâdâh yaw-daw' A primitive root; used only as denominative from H3027 ; literally to use (that is, hold out) the hand;with extended hands); intensively to bemoan (by wringing the hands):cast (out), (make) confess (-ion), praise, shoot, (give) thank (-ful, -s, -sgiving). physically to throw (a stone, an arrow) at or away; especially to revere or worship (

The psalmist identifies the works of God which we must repeat to others: this form of praise is seen as lifting up the palms (not arms) in the direction of your trust.  This is still done by Muslims and Jews as if "reading the text" which is probably in their minds.

Here is the parallel rescue brought by Jesus Christ. He rescues us from the SAME AFFLICTERS who cannot quick mocking God and His Word.  We need to continually PRY them off our backs.

Lu 1:74 - That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

G2190 echthros ekh-thros' From a primary word echthō (to hate); hateful (passively odious, or actively hostile); usually as a noun, an adversary (especially Satan):enemy, foe.
G2191 echidna ekh'-id-nah Of uncertain origin; an adder or other poisonous snake (literally or figuratively):--viper.

Luke 1:75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.

Luke 1:76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
Luke 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, 
Lu 1:79 - To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

POWER OF DARKNESS

G4639 skia skee'-ah Apparently a primary word; “shade” or a shadow (literally or figuratively [darkness of error or an adumbration]):--shadow.

Adumbration: To cast a shadow over

Obscure:  shrouded in or hidden by darkness : not clearly seen or easily distinguished : FAINT <obscure markings> implies a hiding or veiling of meaning through some inadequacy of expression or withholding of full knowledge

Skia

1. shadow
2. shade caused by the interception of light
3. an image cast by an object and representing the form of that object
4. a sketch, outline, adumbration

Rather than being a spiritual TYPE or SHADOW, this seems to say that the period from the fall from grace at mount Sinai until the arrival of Jesus as ANOTHER prophet which WOULD BE HEARD (by some), was something that OBSCURED and prevented people from seeing the LIGHT.  Isn't it sad that people are rushing headlong trying to RESTORE the shadow?

Mt 4:16 - The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

Isaiah 9:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

Jesus said that truth had been hidden in parables from the foundation of the world.  Isaiah 6 and 29 define that and Isaiah 48 explains that parables are to HIDE the truth from --

G2191 echidna ekh'-id-nah Of uncertain origin; an adder or other poisonous snake (literally or figuratively):--viper.

JESUS SAID OF THE MUSICAL MOCKERS 

Ye SERPENTS, ye generation of VIPERS, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Matt 23:33

Jesus' Term: Ophis seed of Echidna

Euripides's Term: DRAKONTOS seed of OPHIS

CHORUS

To the HILLS! TO THE HILLS! fleet hounds [perverted priests] of madness, where the daughters of Cadmus hold their revels,

goad them into wild fury [singing and clapping]
against the MAN disguised in woman's dress, a frenzied spy upon the Maenads.

CHORUS   

How now? Hast thou fresh tidings of the Bacchantes</font>

The BACCHANTES are Bakchê , hê,

A. Bacchante, A.Eu.25, S.Ant.1122 (lyr.), Ar.Nu.605, Pl. Ion534a, etc.: generally, Bakchê Haidou frantic handmaid of Hades,

Or the MAD WOMEN PROPHESIERS in Corinth.

Mainas , ados, hê, ( [mainomai] )

A. RAVING, frantic, lussa v. l. in S.Fr.941.4; bakchê E.Ba.915 .

2. as Subst., MAD WOMEN,  [at Corinth] esp. Bacchante, Maenad, mainadi isê Il.22.460 , cf. h.Cer.386, A.Fr.382, S.OT212 (lyr.), etc.; of the Furies, A.Eu.500 (lyr.); of Cassandra, E.Tr. 173 (lyr.). 
3. = pornê,  Poll.7.203 cod. A, Hdn.Epim.83.
Porn-ê, hê, A. harlot, prostitute, Archil.142, Ar.Ach.527, etc. (Prob.from pernêmi, because Greek prostitutes were commonly bought slaves.)

Peter said that CORRUPTERS OF THE WORD "sold learning at retail" and the word alsom means ADULTERY.

The LOOK TO THE HILLS and the BACCHUS or MAD WOMEN (in Corinth) scheme points directly to the MOCKING of Jesus by the SEED OF THE SERPENT which Jesus treated as literally true. 

Or generation of vipers whom John refused to baptize without proof of repentance which they could not produce.  Therefore, they rejected the PREcounsel of God for their lives by refusing to be baptized.  If nominal "christianism" divides sometimes violently over which day of the week God created the WHOLE UNIVERSE, then it is proof that the SHADOW MAKERS are faithfully doing their viper thing.

Jesus identified THAT generation (race) as children in the Agora or marketplace PIPING trying to get everyone to sing and dance the perverted Dionysus "new wineskins" bowing to Baal.

Peter said "save yourselves from that CROOKED GENERATION."  That pointed to the universal connection between religious music, drinking wine and doing perverted things.

Jesus used the PSALLO rope to drive the money collectors out of the "house of prayers."  They had made it a den of thieves rather than serving the people.

THE MARK OF ZOE OR "THE BEAST AND FEMALE INSTRUCTING PRINCIPLE"
Ps 107:16  For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

Ps 107:17  Fools [PERVERTS] because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

That means that they really worship ANATH: she is the sign or MARK of both love and violence. Anat thus personifies a high level of energy which can find its outlet in sexuality or combat, the passionate ecstacy of sex and war. Anat helps slay the sea-serpent Yahm in His battle with Ba`al and kills Mot who devoured Ba`al. Bast also appears as a standing cat-headed woman in a red patterned dress carrying a sistrum, as giver of the comforts of life: joy, music, dance, and sexual pleasure, as does the Qadashu. Bast is the Lady of the East, as Sekhmet is of the West. She is identified with spring and gentle early summer, when the vegetative world is dependent on dew, another characteristic shared with `Anat. This again relates to `Anat, for typically many Middle Eastern goddesses are both warrior and lover, morning star and evening star, such as Ishtar. [Lucifer, Zoe] Another of `Anat's responsibilities is to oversee the ritual sacrifices to make sure they are properly carried out so as to ensure immortality of the deities

Anath: This Canaanite Goddess' name means 'to answer' and may be related to the Akkadian word ettu meaning 'active will.160' She was a major deity all over the western parts of the Near East, including Egypt where she was later considered to be the same Goddess as Libyan Neith. Titles for her include Belet'net 'virgin Anath,' 'Nethebely161 'the destroyer,' and Yebemet-limm 'widow of the nation(?)'162. Her worship extended from the 2nd millenium BCE deep into the Hellenistic Age, when it began to be forced underground. Like the original Athena, she ruled battle, the hunt, and the passage of souls from one world to the next. She was also a Death Goddess who wore the goatskin aegis -- or at least, the Egyptians attributed Neith's aegis to her. This sacred garment has been described as a cloak, apron, breastplate, or shield. In Anath's case, it shifted in function as religious ceremony changed. Originally it was probably a garment worn by each Libyan woman when she came of age, made of cloth and marked with snakes Moon symbols, or made of many braids of string. and

Later it was remade, parts of its feminine symbolism removed and turned into a garment worn during animal sacrifices. Then it was decorated with severed penises, representing both types of death men experience, loss of erection and the ending of their lives.

As Anath's image was melded into that of the Minoan Bird Goddess, the penises became snakes again, and the aegis a cloak. The result helped to effectively concealed Athena's ancient Libyan origins while unwittingly reintroducing some of the older symbols. The sacred rite in which Anath's consort, represented by the last of the grain harvest, died during the ritual of the last sheaf's reaping and division into food and seed was cut out altogether. Such drastic action was required to further match her to Libyan Athena, who consorted with no man unless she wished to conceive a child by other than parthenogenetic means. Conversely, Anath was never associated with giving birth unless she had taken an animal form.

Anath was a famous warrior and powerful protector, a sort of 'ultimate woman' in a way somewhat analogous to Athena's early Greek role163. She was worshipped by many Israelites, who considered their god her consort, and was frequently mentioned in Ugaritic texts. The Phoenicians also adored her, naming settlements for her. One of them was called Panorma by the Greeks, connecting her to their 'universal mountain mother' Gaea or Rhea. [ZOE]

T. Maccius Plautus, Miles Gloriosus, or The Braggart Captain
 
Now I will disclose to you both the subject and the name of the play which we are just now about to act, and for the sake of which you are now seated in this mirthful place , "Alazon" is the name 
 
This city is Ephesus; then, the Captain, my master, who has gone off hence to the Forum, a bragging, impudent, stinking fellow, brimful of lying and lasciviousness, says that all the women are following him of their own accord. Wherever he goes, he is the laughing stock of all; and so, the Courtesans here--since they make wry mouths at him, you may see the greater part of them with lips all awry Alazon is the name:

Jesus used the PSALLO cord to drive the collection plates out of the courts of the temple: he said that they had made it into a MARKETPLACE or Agora where they belonged.

He consigned the GENERATION abused children to the Marketplace as PIPERS leading others to sing and dance.

He cast out the Musical Ministrels LIKE DUNG.

The Psallo word identifies the polluted, bloody rope of the same material as used by slaves to drive the SLACKERS from the forum or marketplace and INTO the ekklesia.  There, only instructive speaking was allowed. Therefore, the PSALLO word is one of many "hard to understand" words of Paul showing that the MUSICIANS and MERCHANDISERS are MARKED as POLLUTED.

But the GOAL of "navigating the winds of change" is clear:

He introduced himself to this lady of my master, began to cajole her mother with presents of wine, trinkets, and costly treats; and so the Captain made himself on intimate terms with the procuress. As soon as ever an opportunity was presented for this Captain, he tricked this procuress, the mother of the damsel, whom my master loved. For, unknown to her mother, he put the daughter on board ship, and carried this woman, against her will, hither to Ephesus.

This mirthful place: He alludes to the theatres, where scenic representations took place on public festivals.
 
Alazôn, "the boaster," he says, was the Greek name of the play. It is not known who was the Greek author from whom Plautus took this play, which is one of his best.
 
3 , in Greek, of this Comedy; the same we call in Latin. "the Braggart" (Gloriosus).

It is a fact that Sabazianism to which God abandoned Israel because of musical idolatry was identical to that of Dionysus or Bacchus: that is what modern hirelings LUST to impose on you.

Aristophanes' Lysistrata:

Call upon Bacchus, afire with his Maenades [mad women];

Call upon Zeus in the lightning arrayed;
Call on his queen, ever blessed, adorable;

Call on the holy, infallible Witnesses,

Call them to witness the peace and the harmony,

This which divine Aphrodite has made.

 

Allala! Lalla! Lallala! Lallala!

Whoop for victory, Lallalalae!

Evoi!  Evoi!  Lallala, Lallala!

Evae!  Evae!  Lallalalae.

Now the dance begin; Dance, making swirl your fringe o' woolly skin, While we join voices To hymn dear Sparta that rejoices I' a beautifu' sang, An' loves to see Dancers tangled beautifully; For the girls i' tumbled ranks Alang Eurotas' banks Like wanton fillies thrang, Frolicking there

An' like Bacchantes shaking the wild air To comb a giddy laughter through the hair, Bacchantes that clench thyrsi as they sweep To the ecstatic leap.

An' Helen, Child o' Leda, come Thou holy, nimble, gracefu' Queen, Lead thou the dance, gather thy joyous tresses up i' bands An' play like a fawn. To madden them, clap thy hands, And sing praise to the warrior goddess templed i' our lands, Her o' the House o' Brass.

Paul said that if we want to mind Jesus to REST from the sickening, effeminate "sings" we have to go OUTSIDE the camp or city. There, the word REST or PAUL has the same meaning as SABBATH: STOP the singing, instruments and speaking.  There is a direct law against singing in the nerve wracking close harmony.  Click to see the HERESY and KLEPTOMA connection.

Ps 107:35  He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
Ps 107:36  And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
Ps 107:37  And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

CRY aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Isaiah 58: 1
Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways [Seek like a necromancer], as (if they were) a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
Isaiah 58: 2 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Isaiah 58: 3

Jesus identifies HYPOCRITES by pointing to Isaiah and to Ezekiel.  In Ezekiel 33 the hypocrites are slick speakers, singers and instrument players.  those who SOUGHT God as SEEKERS went to see the "laughing stock" for pure amusement. Even the courtesans were making fun of the grand performers.

Ps 107:38  He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
Ps 107:39  Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
Ps 107:40  He poureth contempt upon princes [grandees], and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
Ps 107:41  Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
Ps 107:42  The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
Ps 107:43  Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

What will be the result of this God-ordained "workplace religion"?

Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward (what you gather). Isaiah 58: 8

Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; Isaiah 58: 9

And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. Isa 58:12

If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him,

not doing thine own ways,

nor finding thine own pleasure,

nor speaking thine own words: Isa 58:13

Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord;
and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth,
and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father:
for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. Isa 58:14

The direct command for the "church in the wilderness," the organized synagogue, the example of Jesus, the examples of Paul, the direct commands in the NOT musical passages was to SPEAK that which is written or Scripture with one MIND and one MOUTH. That would edify or educate, glorify God who wrote HIS songs, commfort one another with Scripture and KEEP THE UNITY.

Those who SPEAK THINE OWN WORDS are violating all known evidence, their singing style is abrading and shuts down the rational or spiritual mind, does not teach and HEAPS glory only on themselves.

This is the Lucifer (Zoe) principlee of bleeding off worship due only to God and bleeding off money as they pick pockets.
