Psalms 144:1 "Blessed be the Lord my strength, Which teacheth my hands to war, And my fingers to fight:"

In the prior chapter we just finished analyzing yourself, and we just did not fair to well. Our strength had better be in God, in our Heavenly Father. God teaches us through His word to make war on our enemies and our fingers to fight. Becoming a Christian doesn't mean that it is time to give up and quit, but to prepare for battle, and the preparation is given in Ephesians 6:10-20: It is the putting on the entire armor of God and making yourself ready to do spiritual battle with the enemy. First you learn God's plan, which is His Word, and then learn to serve Him as He instructs us to serve Him.

Psalms 144:2 "My goodness, and my fortress; My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and He in Whom I trust; Who subdueth my People under me."

Your "hightower" is your watchtower, that is where you stand watch for the approach of the enemy. There is a mistranslation here: It should read, "Who subdueth my nations under me." In time, at the end of this earth age, all Christ's enemies will be made His footstool, and and put under His feet. We are part of that many membered body of Christ.

Psalms 144:3 "Lord, what is man that Thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that Thou makest account of him!"

Why? Because we are His children, and He loves His children. Sure, when you sit and think of yourself, there just isn't much there, but when you take knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, His power and strength, then it takes on a new meaning. When we take His strengths and power to our own use that we have the victory and we become something, for we have taken his yoke upon ourselves and Christ is doing the pulling. The job becomes easier and bearable.

Psalms 144:4 "Man is like to vanity: His days are as the shadow that passeth away."

Man is like the wind, and compared to our Father we are nothing but a vapor that appears instantly and vanishes into the nights air.

Psalms 144:5 "Bow Thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke."

At the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, the heavens shall smoke and the earth shall be shaken, and the evil things of this earth age will be gone forever. Again in II Peter 3:10: "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements [evil rudiments] shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."

Just as the cities of that first earth are shook, destroyed and gone for ever, so the cities and their remembrance of this earth age will be destroyed also. It shall happen, and then as recorded in I Corinthians 15:50-54, there will be a change coming. That change will be instant, at the last trumpet, and these flesh bodies will be changed into the incorruptible bodies, as the angels have for our Lord Jesus Christ thousand year millennium kingdom right here on earth. Yes it shall be a new heaven, and the evil rudiments of this earth age will be gone forever. It will be a time for learning, and the elect, the Zadok, those that remained true to the end, to the seventh trump shall have their rewards, and reign with our Lord Jesus Christ. It is our Heavenly Father that will bring in the new age of our Lord's heavenly kingdom.

Psalms 144:6 "Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: Shoot out Thine arrows, and destroy them."

That is exactly how the end of this earth age will come, for God uses nature and natural things to make things happen. Ezekiel 38:22 "And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire and brimstone," This is how God will end Russia, and her allies on that final day in the battle of Hamongog. God controls nature, and he changes men's minds. He will put the hook in Russia's mouth and draw that nations thinking to the point with nature itself will destroy her, as she moves against His People Israel. It shall happen, because it is written in His Word.

Psalms 144:7 "Send Thine hand from above; Rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;"

Many peoples [waters] and strange children [foreigners] are going to band together to come against God's children, and He shall deliver us out of their hands. These foreigners to God's children are the hybrids of this earth, the sons of Cain, the son of Satan and Eve from the garden of Eden. They are the trouble-makers of this earth age.

Psalms 144:8 "Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood."

Their father Satan was the father of lies, and his son Cain was the first murderer. For when their children speak, they speak nothing but lies, and those things that they do and service that they give is a falsehood. We are again talking of the Kenites here, and for ever negative there is a positive. The right hand of Father the Creator is our Lord Jesus Christ, and the right hand of Satan is the children of his son Cain. Those children are called Kenites. Satan will be coming shortly to sit at the right hand of this falsehood, and he will play the role of the Antichrist.

Psalms 144:9 "I will sing a new song unto Thee, O God: Upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto Thee."

This song is talking about in Revelation 15:3, it is the song of Moses, and the song of the Lamb. The song of Moses is recorded in Deuteronomy 32:1-43, and the Song of the Lamb is Psalms 89. The time of our singing will be on the day of the Lord, that day when our Lord returns and all evil is destroyed. It is at the sounding of the seventh and last trumpet. We sing this song to make our Lord happy and showing our thankfulness to Him for the great love He has shown to us. The way we make Him happy now, is when we tell Him that we love him. The only sacrifice He wants from you, is your love and service to Him. Each of us have a part to play in His ministry, and that part may be big or small. He gives the gifts to see that you are capable to to do your part, and He expects you to use the gifts that He has given you: No more, no less. When you serve Him, then His blessings will be given to you.

Psalms 144:10 "It is He That giveth salvation unto kings: Who delivereth David His servant from the hurtful sword."

God sets kings up, and He tares nations apart.

Psalms 144:11 "Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, Whose mouth speaketh vanity, And their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:"

Give me wisdom to be wiser than the Kenites, and keep me out of the hands of these strangers. Their mouths set up snares and traps in the words they say, and their lies draw me into their work. We will have the victory over them in this end times, when we pay attention to what is going on, and know that it is within the plan of God. Our right hand is the Lord Jesus Christ, and their right hand is the lies of Satan, and the vanity in the words that come out of their mouth. Christ spoke of them in John 8:44; "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

Psalms 144:12 "That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; That our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:"

That our sons may grow up to be tall towers from their youth; and that our daughters may be as pillars. Let our sons grow up to be magnificent watchtowers of truth in God's will, and our daughters to be the strength of pillars that holds that palace of Jesus Christ. This is what forms the kingdom of Almighty God.

Psalms 144:13 "That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: That our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:"

If you want God's blessing, practice this. Be willing to use those things God gave you for the kingdom of God, so that our wealth will magnify itself.

Psalms 144:14 "That our oxen may be strong to labour; That there be no breaking in, nor going out; That there be no complaining in our streets."

When you do it God's way you are under His protection. Your oxen, your job will be secure, and thieves and robbers will not break in to take your wealth. The time is coming when there will be no complaining in our streets, for all evil will be done away with, destroyed, and the things of this earth age will simply not exist. This of course is speaking of the Our Lord Jesus Christ's Millennium kingdom here on earth. As we go out on the streets today, there are plenty of complaints in every area of our lives. Antichrist will be in the pit, and his children will have no power of deception as they do today, for the things they use for their evil ways will not exist. The evil rudiments of this age of flesh man will not be here, for we will all be living then in our incorruptible bodies as the angels have. The things of flesh man will never be here again. Doctors, bankers, car mechanics, and plumbers will be out of a trade, for those things will not exist. Our physical bodies will be changed into incorruptible bodies that will never age or get sick. There will be no bankers of need of things of trade, for those things will not exist. There will be no need for complaining, for this next thousand year Millennium age will be a time of learning and discipline before the great white throne judgment. Then those that still want to follow Satan and his ways will be turned to ashes, and even their existence will be completely erased.

Psalms 144:15 "Happy is that people, that is in such a case: Yea, happy is that People, whose God is the Lord."

Happy are those people that are in such a case, to know the truth, and follow the truths that are written in His Word. Happy are those that are under the protection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and have the wisdom that He gives us from His Word. Your are in that case when you have your spiritual eyes open, and can see our Father's truths from His Word. Are you happy? Do you understand the teachings from His Word? Happy is all the people that have their spiritual armor on, and are ready to do the work of the Lord.
