Psalm 13

Psalm 13 (NIV)

For the director of music. A Psalm of David.

1 How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face (Note: the presence of the Divine Spirit) from me?

2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts

and day after day have sorrow in my heart?

How long will my enemy triumph over me? (Note: the greatest enemy is unbelief)

3 Look on me and answer, Lord my God.

Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, (Note: see "Light" Psalm 119: 130)

4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”

and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

5 But I trust in your unfailing love; (Note: unfailing love of the Divine is unfolded by the Spirit of Understanding)

my heart rejoices in your salvation.

6 I will sing the Lord’s praise,

for he has been good to me (Note: Seeing His goodness all the time is the sign of spiritual maturity )

Prologue...

"Tell us, when will these things happen,..."

All prophecies serve to be the 'signs' which point to the fulfillment of divine revelations. Thus, reading the signs means knowing in which hour or the 'ticking clock' we are, as revealed by His Word. Any 'sign-post' is inseparable with the content of the prophecy itself, thus, it is"edifying, comforting, and counseling" us, as we thread upon into the uncharted future. The 'signs' are inseparable from 'the Word of the Lord.' Thus, the 'signs' serve to be the lamp unto your feet as you step into the unknown future. They usher us into...the revealed new 'name' of God; the skies proclaim the name of God. Divine "name" is pointing to the Divine handiwork. This blog is about eschatological prophecies, encouragement, and the boundlessness nature of the "Word." The views of the writers may not represent the official adhered beliefs of any established church, though in most cases of Scriptural interpretations, they may still disclose similar spiritual "seeings" which agree either with those taught by Catholic Rites or by non-Catholic mainstream churches. The blogger is neither religious nor holy (only God is Holy), but merely given the 'Way'...

Contemplating secular successes through the Word is an unrefined precept. I'm tempted to ponder, and inspired that the Lord ought to peel off the flesh like Job, so that we may able to 'see' the true essence of eternity. Since our consciousness, as the 'wounded' descendants of Adam, is centered on the intellectual capacities and nervous activities, therefore, the 'peeling off' causes our consciousness to be shifted, sometimes, into the 'beyond' of the flesh, so that we may emulate Job's words "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You; ( Job 42: 5).

27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops. (Matthew 10: 27, NASB).

“Who has learned your Counsel, unless you have given wisdom and sent your Holy Spirit from on high?” (Wisdom 9: 17, NRSVCE).

b "Karena kesaksian 'Yeshua' (the Word of God) adalah roh nubuat." (Wahyu 19: 10 b)

The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple (Psalm 119: 130).

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is Understanding (Proverbs 9:10)

2 the heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge (Psalm 19: 1-2).

"20 Surely there is no one on earth so righteous as to do good without ever sinning" King Solomon (Eccle. 7: 20).
