This Chapter 105 has to do with the coming of the kingdom, the King and His dominion that shall come at the end of this earth age. This kingdom will be based on the past events, those events that are recorded pertaining to His people in the earliest of times. There is nothing new under the sun. We are facing the end times, and the events that shall come in our day, are as they were before Israel became a nation. By using these the books of Genesis and Exodus, we can take the book of Revelation, and use it as a guide to understand those plagues that will be poured out on the people of the earth in the latter days. We have an example of the plagues that we will see in our generation, because basically God used similar plagues against the Pharaoh of Egypt. However they will be used not only in the physical, but in a spiritual sense. So the writings of old, makes it easier to to understand those events when they happen before our eyes at the closing of this earth age of flesh man.

The Word of God is just that simple, but it requires you to search the Scriptures, to learn for yourself. So this will look to the past, to see those things that are yet future to us living today.

Psalms 105:1 "O give thanks to the Lord; Call upon His name: Make known His deeds among the people."

We are to praise the Name of the Lord, giving thanks for all the blessings that He has given us. Notice that it is His deeds that we are to make know among the people. Many today get that a little mixed up and think it is their deeds that are important. We are to make God's deeds know among the people. Let the people know how God freed our people, and protected them in the past. He is the same today, as He was yesterday, and that is how He shall be tomorrow. God never changes, and he will free His people exactly as He did back there in Egypt some thirty eight hundred years ago.

Psalms 105:2 "Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him: Talk ye of all His wondrous works."

Call those wondrous works to mind continually and meditate on those deeds.

Psalms 105:3 "Glory ye in His holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord."

We are to glory in His Holy Name, YHVH, "Hallelujah", "Praise ye the Lord". Friend, if you are seeking the Lord, you will find Him. God does not hide himself from those that truly love and seek to please Him. When you find the Lord you will have peace of mind.

Psalms 105:4 "Seek the Lord, and His strength: Seek His face evermore."

Seek the lord and rely on His strength...your strength is not enough. You had better prepare yourself to stand face to face before him, for on judgment day, you will be accountable for all your act, deeds and words that come from your lips. These first verses have to do with your person, being in the flesh. Sure you will have problems in this life, but when you do, that is the time to seek the strength of the Lord, repent for those things that are not right, and then continue your life in His strength. The quicker you seek after the Heavenly Father and His strength, for you will need that strength in the time ahead, as we approach the closing days of this earth age of flesh man. You need that strength in daily life. There is no way that you can enjoy life to the fullest, without the strength of our Father.

Psalms 105:5 "Remember His marvellous works that He hath done; His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;"

In other words, as our Heavenly Father has spoken through the prophets of old, through Moses, Joshua, Samuel, and rest of the prophets, those words were written down for our instruction. That is why Jesus continually said, "It is written, haven't you heard..." reminding the people of those words of the Scriptures. This not only looks to the past, but takes a look into the future. Just as God held good to His Word in the past, you can rely on those same promises and instructions for the future. God does not change, He is the same through all generation. There is nothing new under the sun. This is telling you to build your strength from the Scriptures, for that is how God speaks to us today. We can know that we can count on Father today.

Now we go back into History for instruction.

Psalms 105:6 "O ye seed of Abraham His servant, Ye children of Jacob His chosen."

There was a reason for God to chose people, and that was because they were to fulfill a purpose in His plan. Abraham, Isaac, and the Israelites were not chosen because they were the best, but because God could count on them to fulfil His mission, and He could count on them to tend to the duties that He gave them. They did what God asked of them in the captivity, and when they came out. When Satan comes at the sounding of the sixth trump, they shall have duties to make a stand again. To know the truth, and to stay out of the captivity that will be on the people of this earth. You don't have to go into that captivity, and that is why we seal the truths of His Word in our mind, so that we are not deceived as the rest of the people shall.

Psalms 105:7 "He is the Lord our God: His judgments are in all the earth."

God's righteous judgments are in all the earth. What His Word says, shall come to pass.

Psalms 105:8 "He hath remembered His covenant for ever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations."

God gave us His covenant, that we call our Bible, and it is not going to change one bit. The words God spoke by and through the prophets will never get old, and will they will continue even into the eternity. There has been forty generation from Adam to Christ, and there has been about forty since. A thousand generation will be ten times that into and beyond the Millennium age of Christ's kingdom here on earth. These promises are for ever.

Psalms 105:9 "(Which covenant He made with Abraham, And His oath unto Isaac;)"

When God gives an oath, a covenant, it is sure. Man designs his oaths and covenants, contracts, to give himself a way out if he has a change of mind, but not God. The only thing that you can absolutely count on in this earth age, is the Word of God, His covenant or Testament to you. You can't count on any man one hundred percent of the time. In Genesis 12 God told Abram to get up, take his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot and leave Haran. God made a promise to Abram that if he would leave his father's house, and go into the land that God would show him, He would make an oath or promise to Him.

That oath is given in Genesis 12:2, 3; "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."

Then after Lot departed and went into Sodom, God reaffirmed that oath to Abram, as recorded in Genesis 13:14-18. Many years later God appeared to Isaac and gave him instructions to stay out of Egypt and dwell there in Canaan during that famine. In response to Isaac's obedience, God reaffirmed the covenant oath that He had given to Abraham, his father.

Genesis 26:2, 3 "And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, "Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father."

Genesis 26:4 "And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in they seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;"

Genesis 26:5 "Because that Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws."

Notice that Abraham knew the laws, commandments and statutes of God, and he was obedient to the charge that God gave him. Those laws and commandments of God were known over 400 years before they were written in stone on mount Sinai to Moses. Both Abraham and Isaac kept the charge that God gave them. The covenant is a testament, a law and a will, that is given to their children to even the last generation. That covenant will never change, and that is why we can have peace of mind when we try to obey these instructions from God's Word.

Psalms 105:10 "And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, And to Israel for an everlasting covenant:"

The word "Jacob" means "the natural seed of Israel". That covenant will not change.

When Christ died on the cross, this law and covenant was not changed; not one jot of the law, but only those ordinances that dealt with blood sacrifices. In fact Jesus warned those that would change the law, or teach other to disregard the law in His sermon on the mound.

Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."

Matthew 5:18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

In the Hebrew manuscripts the "jot" is the dot that changes the sound of an "A", when spoken. Jesus told us that he never changed even the sound of one letter of the Scriptures. The law promised the come of a Savior, the Christ, and I am the fulfillment of that promise.

Matthew 5:19 "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

Psalms 105:11 "Saying, "Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance:"

Of course the lot mentioned here is the cord, or distance that our city lots are measured by today, in the lands and nations of True Israel. The measuring off the land that is allotted for each person or family. This in itself shows us that God is fair to each of His children.

Psalms 105:12 "When they were but a few men in number; Yea, very few, and strangers in it."

When Jacob and his eleven sons and their families went down to Egypt as strangers, to seek protection under Joseph and his rule. They were just a family that numbered only about sixty persons. This was only a few when compared to the millions that departed out of Egypt some 400 years later. When the Israelites were led out of Egypt under Moses and Aaron, they returned to their promise land, just as God promise Abraham centuries prior.

Psalms 105:13 "When they went from one nation to another, From one kingdom to another people;"

They left in danger to themselves, but they followed as Moses led them with God's instructions.

Psalms 105:14 "He suffered no man to do them wrong: Yea, He reproved kings for their sakes;"

God warned all those that lived in the lands that the Israelites past through, to do no wrong to His people. When kings sought to do harm or prevent the Israelites from traveling through their lands, God corrected them. God controlled them then, just as He controls the kings and nations of today. When they get out of hand, God places the discipline necessary to bring them back in line. Kings and nations of the world are set up to follow and carry out the plan of God, even to our generation. God has set his plan for our generation in His Word, and in this final generation the nations that are set to be allies will be allies, and the nations that shall move against another nation, will. Kings and nations will do exactly as God has said in His Word that they will. God controls kings and nations in this earth age of flesh man.

In Ezekiel 38:1-3 God told us of the nations that will become allies in the final days of this earth age, and today we see them making their agreements and commitments to each other. Then God tells us in verse four:

Ezekiel 38:4 "And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:"

Then God names these nations, and today we see them banning with Russia; Ethiopia, Libya, The eastern European nations, as well as the bands from other northern quarters, China, North Korea and so on, for one purpose. Self protection against God and His people. They see and know the protection that God gives to the nations of the ancient House of Israel, America, Canada, Britain and so on. It is God that put the hooks into the mouths of these people to make the commitments that they do, and it is God that forces them to abide by their commitment to move against Israel nations of today; which they will do in a very short time. God has His plan for this earth age of flesh man, and that schedule will be kept. God has also warned them that when they move against His people, He will intercede on Israel's behalf. In these final days, God will use his elect, His anointed to fulfill a role for Him.

Psalms 105:15 "Saying, "Touch not Mine anointed, And do My prophets no harm."

We know from the past that many of God's prophets were murdered. The Anointed One Himself, Jesus the Christ was nailed to the cross. The anointed are God's elect from that earth age that was, that are in this earth age of flesh man to fulfill a duty for God. When Satan's children moved to take the life of Jesus Christ, they sealed the death of their father Satan. That time will come when the Word has been fulfilled.

Hebrews 2:14, 15 "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage."

That was the purpose that Christ came to this earth in the form of flesh man, born of a virgin. He came to die on the cross, and fulfill the promises that He had given to our forefathers through His prophets. This is the same as it is today, for if you have eyes to see spiritually, and someone offends you, they will suffer for their deeds against you. They will pay for every act against you. If you are acting within Father's plan, they will suffer and pay for their acts against you. You might as well pray for them, for it is a fact that God will come down on them.

Paul told us in Romans 12:19; "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."

Romans 12:20, 21 "Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good."

Seek Him early, seek His face. Seek after God's strength to do what His will is for your life. When you are in Father will, you will receive His blessings. This tells us how it shall be in the end times also, for there is nothing new under the sun. The future is based on the past, and that is what this chapter is all about. This warning to "touch not my anointed" is written in Revelation 9:4;

Revelation 9:4 "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads."

Those with "the seal of God in their foreheads" have God's Word of these times in their mind. They know exactly what is happening in the world today, and they will not be deceived by Satan and his realm, at their coming. For Satan will come to our generation as an angel of light, and he will appear exactly as the world expects Christ to come. Satan is supernatural, and he is coming with his bag of trick and lying wonders and most of the Christian world will buy into those lies. God's elect know the truth, and understand exactly what is to take place. And they wait patiently for the final hour of our Lord's coming, at the seventh and last trump. They are God's anointed, and Satan is not given any authority to rule over them. The only way that Satan will move on them is to try to convert them to His side, but that shall not happen.

Psalms 105:16 "Moreover He called for a famine upon the land: He brake the whole staff of bread."

As Jacob was living in a land with strangers all around them, they were doing well, until one brother was sold into bondage by the other brothers. However, if it had not Joseph would not have been in place, and had the authority to save the rest of the family when the famine came upon the land. Did the brothers do it of their own accord, or did God place the idea and anger in them to being it to pass? While in that jail, Joseph had a dream from God, and in that dream Joseph saw the famine coming and the solution to the famine. This is the past, and as it was in the past, so shall it be in the End.

Psalms 105:17 "He sent a man before them, Even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:"

There can be no mystery why Joseph was sold into Egypt, for God tells us that He put the anger in the minds of Joseph's brother, to cause Joseph to be sold as a servant into Egypt. God moved the people around Joseph from Canaan to Egypt to do what they did, that His Word would be fulfilled. Here this young boy, hated by his own kind, sold into bondage, for a purpose.

Psalms 105:18 "Whose feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in iron:"

Joseph's feet were put in chains, and as it reads, his very soul was put in irons. Joseph was hurt not only physically, but emotionally to see his own brothers do this to him. Joseph had done nothing, he was innocent of all that was charged of Him. God gave him the dream of the sheves, that his family would bow down to him, and he told them of this dream. So lets take a look at this example of what happened to Joseph, and apply it to the end times.

There is going to be a truth taught to our end generation, dealing with another famine that shall come. The prophet Amos warned us of that famine in Amos 8:11 "Behold the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it."

The famine is not for bread, for the world shall be fed, but the famine will be for the hearing of the Word of God. There are many religious programs with all their ways to be saved and prepare for a rapture, but that is man's way, his traditional way to escape the facing Satan at the sixth trumpet. However with all the churches today, there is still a great famine for "hearing the Word of God".

Psalms 105:19 "Until the time that his word came: The word of the Lord tried him."

God left Joseph in those shackles until it became time that he should be used. God had a purpose for Joseph, a role to play in the plan of God, and Joseph was well tried and tested before used in that role. Every thing in Joseph's dream of the butler and baker came to pass exactly as God revealed it to him. Then at the right time, God's time: the Pharaoh sent for Joseph.

Psalms 105:20 "The king sent and loose him; Even the ruler of the people, and let him go free."

Joseph spend years in bondage, and now he is free. Did the Pharaoh have a change of heart in the matter? No, it was because God opened his spiritual eyes to the future, and caused him to see the wisdom that Joseph had, and be kind to him. It is God that gave Joseph the wisdom of the famine in those early days, and it is Almighty God that opens your spiritual eyes, and gives you the wisdom of the famine that shall hit our final generation. God is allowing us living today to have the wisdom see those things that shall take place today, by using the past events to determine these end times.

Psalms 105:21 "He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance:"

Pharaoh promoted Joseph to rule and be lord of his house and to control all the substance of the land. Joseph became the planner for the entire nation of Egypt. He was in charge of the people and the resources of the land.

Psalms 105:22 "To bind his princes at his pleasure; And teach his senators wisdom."

Joseph could arrest Pharaoh's sons, if it pleased him; and he could set the order of what the Pharaoh senators or leaders and elders could do and not do. Pharaoh saw that Joseph had the wisdom of God, and he knew that what ever Joseph would do, would be guided by God. God spoke to Joseph and the lad listened to what God had to say. The reason for the entire nation of the Israelites going into captivity in Egypt was because of starvation, famine, not war. They allowed themselves to be placed under the famine, and willingly sought protection when the famine came. God knew that this would happen, and sent ahead a lad that was willing to listen to Him, and faithfully be the caretaker of not only His people, but all Egypt.

Psalms 105:23 "Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham."

The land of Ham is Egypt.

Psalms 105:24 "And He increased His People greatly; And made them stronger than their enemies."

God is able even in captivity to make you stronger than your enemies. In those times when things just are not going right and you call out to God, He hears your prayer. In those times when you are at your weakest, then is the time to draw strength from God, and you become your strongest. Have patience and understand God's plan, and be willing to do things God's way. You are worthless to Almighty God until you become skillful in His Word, to rightly divide the Word, and be willing to serve your Father. We are to know this plan of God and the simple way that it applies to you and your life.

Psalms 105:25 "He turned their heart to hate His People, To deal subtilly with His servants."

God has the power to change the minds and emotions of people that you are dealing with. Joseph dealt subtly with those people around him, and this is the method that God will use in our day.

Psalms 105:26 "He sent Moses His servant; And Aaron whom He had chosen."

God always pick the ones that He can count on. No there was no tent revival in Egypt, where Moses and Aaron come running down the isle, but God spoke individually with Moses and Aaron, and chose them.

Psalms 105:27 "They shewed His signs among them, And wonders in the land of Ham."

These "signs and wonders" that were done at the hand of Moses and Aaron, were done by God. Moses and Aaron were faithful servants of God, that God used to carry out the signs and wonders necessary to free God's people. If you are willing to be a errand boy or girl for God, then God will use you. Professional Christians are those that are faithful servants that God can count on to show His credential through.

Psalms 105:28 "He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they rebelled not against His word."

Even when God made the going rough for Moses and Aaron, they didn't rebel against God. If God bring a little testing into your life, how do you react against it?

Psalms 105:29 "He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish."

God slew their fish, and made their drinking water polluted, as a sign to the Pharaoh. That is how it happened in the time of Moses, and that is also a sign for our end generation. As the two witnesses of Revelation come forth to test the people of this earth, they will cause these plagues to come on the earth. God's two witness will have the same powers that Moses had in giving those signs and wonders to the Pharaoh.

Revelation 11:6 "These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will."

We are to expect those signs and wonders that God gave at the hand of Moses to come also from the two witnesses. God's Word warned us, and it shall happen.

Psalms 105:30 "Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, In the chambers of their kings."

Here again this goes to Revelation 16:13 where three frogs, like spirits will come out of the mouths of Satan, the dragon; the beast and the false prophet. Through those evil spirits they will be given powers to do the lying wonders to deceive the people of this generation.

Revelation 16:14 "For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that gread day of god almighty."

These demonic being, appearing as good and righteous men, coming with the words of God to save the world. Form their hands will have the power of miracles, to heal the sick and say the words that draw the kings of the earth, to ready for their battles. Their causes will seem so right [healing the sick, feeding the poor and so on], yet the things they do will appear to be of God. Are you ready for this? Can you see if a ministry is of God or Satanic frog spirits? Yes the use of frogs was used by God through Moses' hand and it is another warning to us living today in this final generation.

Psalms 105:31 "He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, And lice in all their coasts."

These flies and lice came on the enemies of God, and they will come here also.

Psalms 105:32 "He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land."

Psalms 105:33 "He smote their vines also and their fig trees; And brake the trees of their coasts."

God can put anybody out of business that He chooses. He can use hail to destroy their crops, fire to burn their forest, he can smite their fig, apple and fruit trees with disease, draught, and he can destroy their forests and cities with storms. He did it then and He is going to use it again in our generation. Expect it to happen, and when it does, remember that God used the signs of Egypt as a warning to our generation of these end times.

Psalms 105:34 "He spake and the locust came, And caterpillers, and that without number,"

Here again we are reminded of Revelation 9, of the locust army that will come with Satan, that will have their five months to torment those that are not sealed in their foreheads. We are seen the future from the past.

Psalms 105:35 "And did eat up all the herbs in their lands, And devoured the fruit of their ground."

God brought on the famine real good.

Psalms 105:36 "He smote also all the firstborn in their land, The chief of all their strength."

This shall happen again, and those that think that they are the first fruits, and yet chase after the traditions of men, and the doctrines of demonic frog spirits, they will die a spiritual death. If it were not for the mercy and grace of Almighty God in and through the Millennium age, they would go into the lake of fire.

Psalms 105:37 "He brought them forth also with silver and gold: And there was not one feeble person among their tribes."

God healed every last one of those people of Israel. So pay attention to this now: for when we are transferred into our new body at the coming of the Lord, there will not be one feeble person in that millennium age. You will be a whole, able person for that Millennium age of Christ's Kingdom here on earth. Paul talked of this change that would come in I Corinthians 15:51, 52.

I Corinthians 15:51, 52 "Behold I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

At a certain point in time, at the last trumpet, all flesh people on the face of this earth will be changed from their flesh bodies, into their new incorruptible bodies, as the angels have. That change will be instant, faster than you can wink your eye, and we will be ushered into the Millennium age of Jesus Christ's kingdom right here on earth. We will leave the captivity of the age of flesh man, and there will not be one feeble one amongst us in that new kingdom of God. There will be no aging, or sickness to that incorruptible spiritual body, just as every soul that left Egypt was made well and whole.

Psalms 105:38 "Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them."

Just as the Egyptians knew that Almighty God was in control, the people of the end times will also see and know that God is in complete control. God loved and protected His people and He delivered them from captivity, just as He shall deliver us. It is time to wake up, and use the past to see what is coming on our generation in the future. It is time to get ready and willing to do what God expects of you. A Christian soldier is disciplined in his or her life, and ready to do battle against Satan in these end times. These are exciting times.

Psalms 105:39 "He spread a cloud for a covering; And fire to give light in the night."

As the Israelites traveled through the hot desert land, God gave them shade of cloud for their protection. Yet from that same cloud, came the light for the night. It is nice to think of a cloud of protection covering over us, and not the enemy. the glory of our Heavenly Father was in that cloud, He will guide His people in these end times also through His Word, or by other means.

Psalms 105:40 "The People asked, and He brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven."

The "bread" of heaven is manna, and that is the food of angels. This also documents that humans can survive on the food of angels and angels can feed on the food of these human bodies. Each body was made after the same pattern, one an image of the other.

Psalms 105:41 "He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places like a river."

That Rock is our Father and you had better place Him as your firm foundation. When you ask that Rock for water, the living water; His Holy Spirit will come and fill your spiritual thirst. His Spirit will nourish you and comfort you in your time of need. Even when there is a famine in the world for the Word of God, and a thirst for His living Water, He will give it to them that seek after it.

Psalms 105:42 "For He remembered His holy promise, And Abraham His servant."

God will not go back on that everlasting covenant that He made with Abraham, passed on to Isaac and to Jacob. We have that same promise as it was extended to all generations that followed, even to us living today.

Psalms 105:43 "And He brought forth His People with joy, And His chosen with gladness:"

It pleased God to bring out the Israelites when the repented and called out to Him for help.

Psalms 105:44 "And gave them the lands of the heathen: And they inherited the labour of the people;"

When they left Egypt, the Egyptians gave them the wealth of the land, the gold and silver, and they did not even have to work for it. It was given at the grace of Almighty God.

Psalms 105:45 "That they might observe His statutes, And keep His laws. Praise ye THE LORD."
