Psalms 109 looks forward into that new age that will come upon us shortly. This will look at the humiliation and deliverance that come on the David, the Messiah, and God's elect that were in the past and are living even today. It speaks of the betrayal of Jesus Christ which placed Him on the cross. The first verse is a praise to the Father, and then the next thirty verses give thirty reasons why the betrayal happened; one for each of the thirty pieces of silver that was the price for delivering up Jesus to the Kenite Jewish religious leaders of that day.

Psalms 109:1 "Hold not Thy peace, O God of my praise;"

This is a prayer for action to be taken now. David gives praise of the Father for His faithfulness. This is the problem with our people even today, for they are short on patience.

Psalms 109:2 "For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: They have spoken against me with a lying tongue."

The mouth of the wicked have lied directly to my face. This happened to David, It happened to our Lord Jesus Christ, and it will happen to His elect in this final generation when the real truth is taught. They will scoff at the truth of God's Word, for it goes against their traditions.

Psalms 109:3 "They compassed me about also with words of hatred; And fought against me without a cause."

Just because you stand up and for the Word of the Living God, they will become your enemy. They are offended by the true Word of God, and would rather devise their own traditions of men and false doctrines. Just like the false prophets of Jeremiah's time, these false prophets say this entry into the world system of Babylon of the end times, headed by Satan himself, just will not happen. As we are entering into Babylon, the false prophets of today make their stand to say, "You will not be here, because you will be raptured". God said, "I didn't sent them" in Jeremiah's time, and He surely did not send them in our day. Those false prophets get their leadership and direction from one that stands beside them. Their leader is Satan himself.

Psalms 109:4 "For my love they are my adversaries: But I give myself unto prayer."

Because of my love of God they are my adversaries. Even though they are against me, I remain in prayer to my Father. I don't try to commune with them.

Psalms 109:5 "And they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love."

They seek to pay me back in evil for the good I do, and they give me hatred because of my love of God's Word. Of course this reward spoken of here, the payment for evil, refers to the thirty pieces of silver that Judas sold our Lord for. Judas was with our Lord for the three years of His ministry, and in the end, sold that friendship for a hand full of silver. At the return of Satan to this earth in person, watch how fast the church world sells out to him.

Psalms 109:6 "(Set Thou a wicked man over him: And let Satan stand at his right hand."

For those people that enjoy being deceived, Father, set a wicked man over them, one that is doing the work of Satan. The man that is at the right side, is the one that is giving service to the one in charge. Christ is at the right hand of the Father, just as this wicked evil man is over those that desire to be deceived. He will be just as cruel and deceiving as Satan himself. With Satan at this evil man's side, those lies and deceptions will turn these ministers into false prophets. Satan stood by Judas side, and Judas listen to him. Satan is a Scripture lawyer, and he will translate Scripture for you, if you allow it. That is Satan's method of operation. It is no different today than it was in David's day; in Jesus Christ's day; or in the earth age that was, before the foundation of this earth age. All of Satan's tempting of Christ was done by using Scripture. Most Christians today just don't care if Satan twists Scripture, for if it sounds right, that is good enough for them. Any time a falsehood of the Scripture is taught, it is Satan that is standing beside that man or woman speaking.

Psalms 109:7 "When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: And let his prayer become sin."

If one listens to false prophets, and follows the ways taught by him, then that person's prayer is sin, for it will be contrary to the will of God.

Psalms 109:8 "Let his days be few; And let another take his office."

Though this related to Judas, and to Acts 1:20; "For it is written in the book of Psalms, `Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.' " This is history and it was done according to the prophecy of this verse. However it also applies to us today, to those that have the spiritual ears to hear and eyes to see the truth of God's Word. In a very short time, those offices [ministers] that teach falsely will be replaced. They will give up that office when they allow Satan to stand beside them, and dictate the twisting of God's Word to men.

Psalms 109:9 "Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow."

Those that are suppose to be the husband of the flock, or the wife of Christ, let them be taken from us. However in these final days, their flocks will be a widow and a harlot as they chase after Satan, their new husband. These false teachers and pastors will lead their flocks right into Satan camp. The wife of Jesus Christ will wait patiently for her husband, to the final moment, at the sounding of the seventh and last trumpet. Some of us are the wife and some are the bride of Christ. The wife are those that were set aside from the world age that was [Ephesians 1:4-6], the bride of Christ are from this earth age.

Psalms 109:10 "Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: Let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places."

Let Satan's children be wanderers and vagabonds, and they shall be. When you let those people that call themselves Christians go to their house of vanity to find the bread, and they will find it desolate. As Amos tells us 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 word of the Lord:"

Amos 8:12 "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."

We are living in those days, and the Word of God, chapter by chapter and verse by verse is not being taught. The true bread is the bread of Life, it is the body of Jesus Christ. They will not find the Christ standing there, with Satan standing by that false prophet. The only place you find our Father and the Living bread, is through His Word; and not the lies of men.

Psalms 109:11 "Let the extortioner catch all that he hath: And let the stranger spoil his labour.

And church or pastor that is not teaching the Word of God as it ought to be taught, is the extortioner, and the strangers are the Kenites that have molded the false doctrines that these extortioners are teaching. Where is your tithe going, to an extortioner? The tithe goes to where you are taught, are you getting your money's worth for the tithe given, or is the tithe taken under false pretenses? What is being taught in your church, the Word of God, or the words of men? However you had better know that Satan is not standing beside them as you give your tithe, or you become partakers of their evil deeds. Of course the extortioner and the stranger [rip off artist] will all speak under the name of Jesus.

Psalms 109:12 "Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: Neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children."

Where the lies of Satan are taught, let there be no one attending that is loyal to the truth and to our Father. Those that sit in their church being taught the twisted truth, will soon be wandering after Satan. You simply cannot sit under the teaching of lies, of man's traditions and not have it rub off on you. So what this is saying, is that there is no children of God left, for they have all deserted to these false teachings.

Psalms 109:13 "Let his posterity be cut off; And in the generation following let their name be blotted out."

This establishes a date in the future. Satan, his followers and his children are blotted out in the lake of fire. Revelation 20:14, 15; "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Satan is "death", and "hell" are all those that followed Satan in this earth age, and were judged unworthy by their works from the Millennium age. They will all be cast into the lake of fire and blotted out. Event the memory of them as ever existing will be blotted out of the minds of their loved ones. The first death is the death of these flesh bodies, and the second death is the death or destruction of your soul. In the Millennium age of our Lord Jesus Christ, there will be nothing that will offend, for His fallen angels will not be around, and Satan will be in the pit.

Psalms 109:14 "Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out."

Yes Father, destroy those that are of iniquity, but let it be placed in your book so that it never happens again.

Psalms 109:15 "Let them be before the Lord continually, That He may cut off the memory of them from the earth)."

We are talking here about the records of our words and action that are recorded in the books of heaven. Let those records be before the Lord continually, that in the end, God will cut of the memory of them and their actions, that took place in this earth age of flesh man. So it shall be. Revelation 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away [blotted out of their memory]."

If a mother or father, or close relative has gone into the lake of fire to be destroyed forever; the memory of that person will be blotted out of the mind of that loved one, and it will be as if that person had never existed. That is also how our heavenly Father treats your sins, when they are repented of, and under the blood of Jesus Christ. They are blotted out of the heavenly books, and treated as if they had never happened. Those conditions will never return, for we shall have the eternity before us in peace.

Psalms 109:16 "Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, But persecuted the poor and needy man, That he might even slay the broken in heart."

Satan has no mercy, and those that shew no mercy are of Satan. Even when you serve him, he wants to hurt you. Satan know's hell fire judgment has been passed on his head, and he wants to take you with in into that fire, if you are dumb enough to follow his ways. Satan is the "man of sin" and the "son of perdition" spoken of in Second Thessalonians 2:3. The time is coming when the whole world will follow and worship him, as he "sits in the temple of God, shewing himself to be God". the bread or truth of God's word will be dried up, and the only one people will turn to is Satan. All that is except God elect, those sealed with the truth in their minds.

Psalms 109:17 "As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: As he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him."

There is no hope in the pit for Satan. Just as he loves cursing, that is what all mankind will do as they see him locked away in the pit.

Psalms 109:18 "As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, So let it come into his bowels like water, And like oil into his bones."

At the coming of Christ, there will not be anything left for him to deceive, for all flesh will be gone, and all souls will be in their incorruptible bodies. They will see Satan for who he is, and despise him for deceiving them.

Psalms 109:19 "Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, And for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually."

The evilness of Satan will be worn like a belt for all to see, in that Millennium age of Jesus Christ's kingdom here on earth. People will look down on him and know him for who he is. There will be no deception in that age, for people will know the truth, for God will plant it in their memory.

Psalms 109:20 "Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, And of them that speak evil against my soul."

Watch out for the commentaries put out by men, especially from many years past. They will tell you that this is why Judas is damned. However, this is not talking about Judas here. Don't forget, "Judas repented of his sin", and even threw the silver pieces back on that fake temple floor. The Word promises us that our sins are blotted out upon repentance, as if they were never committed. That is a promise from Almighty God to you and anyone that will repent. However if you believe that Judas hanged himself, then you have overlooked Acts 1:15-18.

Acts 1:18 "Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out."

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that something is wrong here. The same people that wanted Jesus dead, wanted Judas dead and taking the blame. the Kenite Jewish religious leaders arranged for Judas to be ripped open in his stomach so that when they hung him, when that trap door opened and his body fell, all over his insides, "his bowels" would come gushing out. Are you starting to get the picture, it is like the Kenite reports of today of a man that shot himself in the head nine times. It just can't happen. The wise will see the cover-up; the ignorant and foolish just don't care. Judas was dead before the Kenites hung his dead body, and that is where the term hanging come from. So don't be to quick to say this chapter is all of Judas, it isn't. All twelve of the apostles will be the foundation of that eternal temple. Judas will be there with all the rest of those apostles of Christ. Be very careful of what you say about one of God's elect.

Psalms 109:21 "But do Thou for me, O God the Lord, for Thy name's sake: Because Thy mercy is good, deliver Thou me."

This verse begins another prayer.

Psalms 109:22 "For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me."

"I am oppressed and my heart is wounded with me." This was the prayer of David, the Messiah, and God's elect in these end times.

Psalms 109:23 "I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust."

Psalms 109:24 "My knee are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness."

Psalms 109:25 "It became also a reproach unto them: When they looked upon me they shaked their heads."

The reason that he became a reproach unto them, is because he taught the real truth of God's Word, which this book is.

Psalms 109:26 "Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to Thy mercy:"

Psalms 109:27 "That they may know that this is Thy hand; That Thou, Lord, hast done it."

This is God's purpose; to give help according to Thy mercy." You can count on this help also, when you give prayer and praise to Him. Meditate on the mercy that God has given to you personally. God will fulfill all of His plan, and He will do it so that the heathen will know that He is God. It is God that shall bring Satan down, and it is God also that shall put that hook in the mouth of Esau, Russia, and all her allies, and drag them into the valley of Hamongog, and end their existence. Today many are taught that the holy of holies is socialism, but God will show them that the Holy of Holies is God Himself.

Psalms 109:28 "Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, let them be ashamed; but let Thy servant rejoice."

Those that teach the truth will rejoice in that teaching, but those that teach not the truth will be ashamed at the coming of our Lord.

Psalms 109:29 "Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, And let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle."

"Adversaries" as given in the Hebrew text, is "Satan". Satan is the adversary, and "confusion" is Babylon, that one world system that Satan will control. Those that call themselves Christian today, that cover themselves with the mantle of that which is taught today, will stand naked in shame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is why we must cover ourselves with our righteous deeds. Our righteous deeds are those things we do in serving the Living God: In making His Word a reality in our lives. We are living our lives according to His plan, and not doing thing our own way.

Psalms 109:30 "I will greatly praise the Lord with my Yea, I will praise Him among the multitude."

Psalms 109:31 "For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor, To save him from those that condemn his soul."

This is a promise from our heavenly Father to you personally. Our Lord Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of the Father, and while He lived His life here on earth, He was with the poor. He always had time for anyone that was in need, and that same commitment is given to you living in these end times.
