Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                Psalm 107:10-21 (KJB)

These verses have been interpreted by the Church to mean that the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ will bring humans out of the darkness of sin into the light of salvation by grace, and this happens to be a valid interpretation on a spiritual level. But since many scriptures have a double meaning, these verses seem to have a second meaning.

This second interpretation hinges on the meaning of the phrase "the shadow of death." In the Old Testament, this phrase refers to the grave, and beyond the grave a region of total darkness. Job 3:1-6 (KJB). In the New Testament, one of the regions of Hell is called Death which happens to be a place of total darkness. Revelation 20:13 (KJB). This means that the phrase "the shadow of death" refers not only to a lost spiritual condition, but to an actual place. In Psalm 23:4, when king David used the phrase, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me...," he expressed his sublime faith that God had delivered him from spiritual death. But he also compares "the shadow of death" to a "valley" which can only be an actual place. God inspired David to write a second meaning of his faith which is that when he dies and goes to the grave, he has faith that God will resurrect his body back to life in the general resurrection. Daniel 12:2-3 (KJB).

Other Old Testament writers referred to the "shadow of death" as being an actual place. When Job expressed his wish that he had died in birth, he used the phrase "shadow of death" to mean a place of total darkness beyond the grave. Job 3:1-6; Job 12:22; Job 28:3 (KJB). In Job 28:17, God Himself referred to "the shadow of death" as being an actual place beyond the grave. Isaiah prophesied that the phrase "the shadow of death" meant not only spiritual darkness, but he compared this phrase to "land" which can only be an actual place. Isaiah 2:9 (KJB). Jeremiah compared the phrase "the shadow of death" to the wilderness through which the Israelites wandered, and to a "dark mountain," both of which are actual places. Jeremiah 2:6; Jeremiah 13:16 (KJB).

All of this put together must mean that Psalm 107:10-21 happens to be a prophecy that God will not only deliver His living humans from spiritual darkness and death through His salvation by His grace, but He will also visit the regions of death in the end of the world and cause all of His living humans confined there to repent and believe in Christ as the Lamb of God their Savior so that He can save them from eternal death and resurrect them and recreate them to a new life on His recreated earth. John 3:17-21; John 5:24; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Psalm 68:18; I Corinthians 15:20-22 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                 Psalm 98:9 (KJB)

This verse declares that God will be fair when He makes His final judgment of the world. God will judge the world according to His own righteousness. God puts a small part of His righteousness into all humans because he creates all humans in His image. Genesis 1:27 (KJB). God gives every human some good works to do through His good image within them. Isaiah 26:12 (KJB). Even the most evil human who ever lived has done something good in their lives. Jesus taught that even the slightest good work will be rewarded. Matthew 10:41-42 (KJB). Evil humans refuse to do most of the good works that God put into them to do, but they cannot avoid doing some good works. James 4:17 (KJB). One would think that since God has to be fair, then He would never cast any human, and his good works that he has done, into an eternal lake of fire. In fact, the Bible teaches that God will cast only dead humans, who are totally evil, into an eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB).

The New Testament provides many examples of the fact that God will raise all of His living humans from the regions of the dead because of their good works when Christ judges the world. In Jesus' explanation of the parable of the tares and wheat, the wheat which represents the good natures of humans, will be saved, but the tares, which represents the evil natures of humans injected into them by the Devil, will be cast into the fire. Matthew 13:36-43 (KJB). In Jesus' parable about false prophets, He taught that only the evil trees that bear no good fruit whatsoever are cast into the fire. Matthew 7:15-19 (KJB). Jesus taught a Pharisee, who could not have been saved by grace, that he would be rewarded for his good works "at the resurrection of the just." Luke 14:12-14 (KJB). Jesus directly taught that in His final judgment, He will raise all that have done some good from their graves back to life, and He will condemn all total evil. John 5:28-29 (KJB).

God's only enemies are the Devil and all of the spiritual deaths and evil that he has injected into all of God's good and living humans. John 12:31-32; I John 3:8 (KJB). Whatever God creates can never become His enemy. In the end of the world, Christ will appear to all of His living humans confined to the regions of death, and He will cause them all to freely choose to return to faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). "The just shall live by his faith." Habakkuk 2:4 (KJB). At that time, Christ will use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve the beings of all those living humans in order to separate their repentant, living natures for Him to resurrect and recreate to live on His recreated earth, from their dead and evil natures that He will cast into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; I Corinthians 3:11-15 (KJB). Revelation 22:11-12 reveals that in the end of the world, the "unjust" and the "filthy" will be left behind, but the "righteous" will be saved and rewarded for their good works.

The entire 98th Psalm happens to be a prophecy that the entire, living human race who has inherited God's new earth will rejoice and praise God for their salvation.

Commentary on Selected Psalms

                               Psalm 111:7-8 (KJB)

Psalm 111:7-8, along with Ecclesiastes 3:14, assert the eternal truth that everything God does and everything He says will last forever. This means everything God has ever created and every commandment He has ever made can only be a part of His Word. Every physical and spiritual law in God's creation will last forever. Psalm 19:1-4; Matthew 24:35 (KJB). God created man in His image. Genesis 1:27 (KJB). This image of God in every human will last forever.

Sin and evil gained access to God's creation beginning with the rebellion of Lucifer in Heaven. Isaiah 14:12-17 (KJB). God dissolved Lucifer's system, recovered all of the good elements He had put into his creation of him, and God cast his wholly evil, negative and destructive consciousness to earth as a devil called Satan. Ezekiel 28:13-19 (KJB). Satan has the same goal that Lucifer had. He wants to murder God and take His place. John 8:44 (KJB).

With Satan's desire to torture Job, he revealed his plan to accomplish his goal. Satan believed that if he could cause Job to curse God to His face, then he could turn the good image of God in Job to total evil, and thereby, Satan would be able to annul a part of God's creation and prove that God's Love can fail, which would also prove that God is not Almighty, and that knowledge would eventually open a way for Satan to find a way to murder God and take His place. God allowed Satan to do his worst to Job, but God told Satan that he could not take Job's life. Job 2:6 (KJB). God's message to Satan was that although Satan could do his worst to Job, Satan would never be able to annul the good image of God in Job and the faith in Him that was a part of that goodness. Although Job, like all humans, was a sinner, God related that Job was as morally good as a sinner could be. Job 1:1; Job 7:20 (KJB). God's message to humanity in this was that although God would allow Satan to do his worst to humanity, God would never allow Satan to utterly destroy the image of God, which is morally perfect, in any human.

Being the first written book of the Bible, Job relates God's and Satan's plans for humanity. God will allow Satan to do his worst to humanity to prove that His Love can never fail, but Satan will never be able to utterly destroy the good image of God, and the faith in God within that image, in even one human. While it is true that all humans have sinned, and some humans have committed terrible evil acts, all of that happens to be the Devil's fault since he can do his worst to humanity. Nevertheless, all humans must take responsibility for their own choices. God cursed only the Devil in Genesis 3:14-15. God never cursed Adam and Eve or any of their descendants. While it happens to be true that some humans have hated God and cursed Him, that cannot destroy God's Love for them. God knows exactly how to cause all humans to return to faith in Him of their own free will so that He can cleanse, recover and recreate every image of Himself that He has put into every human that has become sullied by sin and evil. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). God told Job, and Adam and Eve, that He would become the Redeemer who would sacrifice Himself to purge all of the sin, evil, and spiritual death that the Devil has injected into the inner beings of all humans in his attempt to utterly destroy the good nature of at least one human. Genesis 3:15; Job 19:25-27 (KJB).

God allowed Satan to remain within His creation. Why? God could have summarily purged Satan and all evil from His creation after He had dissolved Lucifer's being. But He did not. God has a perfect Intellect. He never makes mistakes. God always gets His decisions right. God knew that Lucifer's rebellion had caused all of God's angels to realize that they could use their free will that God had given them to choose to be sinful and evil. In fact, one third of all angels decided to follow Lucifer in his rebellion. This realization that free will could be misused caused doubt about God's Love to remain within God's creation. Perhaps God's Love could fail to protect His creation, and therefore, God might not be Almighty. If God had summarily purged Satan and all evil from His creation, the doubt would remain and would become an open door for evil to again and again invade God's creation to cause fear and rebellion. God had to devise a plan to permanently purge all sin and evil from His creation to prove beyond all doubt that His Love is Almighty and that free will can never be misused to the extent that it can utterly destroy any part of His creation. So God devised a plan to create a human race on earth with free will which the Devil could influence to cause them to misuse to commit sin and evil that would allow the Devil to inject spiritual death into them. But God also created them to have faith in Him that He put into His image within them. God would then prove His Almighty Love for them by sacrificing Himself to take away their sins, evil, and spiritual deaths that the Devil put into them that threatened to utterly destroy them forever. God could then activate their faith and cause every one of them to choose of their own free will to return to faith and love for Him so that He could save them all from eternal spiritual death. God would also prove that love and faith that are freely chosen can only be a real love that can never be doubted.

God would cause some humans to return to faith in Him while still alive in the flesh, and He would save them by His grace. John 5:24 (KJB). God also knew exactly how to cause the rest of humanity confined to the regions of death to return to faith in Him of their own free will when Christ will appear to them in the end of the world and cause them all to repent and return to faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). After all this, God will then be able to thoroughly purge all sin, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil from His entire creation because He will have proven that His Love is Almighty and cannot be doubted. II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; I John 3:8 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                Psalm 102:25-28 (KJB)

In the beginning, God created the earth and the universe. God created them, and God has the right to destroy them. God will destroy His entire creation, including all of His living humans, because it all has been tainted with evil which emerged from a non-existent realm of absolute nothingness or chaos. God described this absolute nothingness this way: "And the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep..." Genesis 1:2 (KJB). God described the evil that infects the nations as "less then nothing, and vanity;"that is, complete emptiness. Isaiah 40:17 (KJB). All evil has emerged from this realm of absolute nothingness to infect Lucifer and caused him to rebel against God, and from that rebellion, evil spread to all of God's creations. Ezekiel 28:14-15 (KJB). But God has turned that absolute nothingness into a lake of fire, and in the end of the world, He will cast the Devil and all evil into that eternal lake of fire and so forever torment them to prevent them from ever being able to infect His new creations again. Deuteronomy 32:22; Matthew 25:41 (KJB). God will cast the beast, the false prophet, and the Devil "alive" into the lake of fire which means He will attach some measure of positive consciousness to them so that they will be able to feel the burning sensations of the flames. That will certainly occupy their minds forever. Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10 (KJB). Chaos can generate negative consciousnesses that the Bible calls "devils," and they are wholly destructive. But the positive and creative Consciousness of God can only create good and creative systems such as humans in His image. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:27 (KJB).

In verse 26, God declares that He will cause His entire creation to "perish." But the rest of this verse indicates that that word cannot mean annihilation. Annihilation only occurs within the non-existent realm of absolute nothingness. In God's positive universe, matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed except by God. When God destroys something, or causes it to perish, that simply means that God dissolves a former system and uses the still existent elements of it to create a new system from which He has purged all of its former negativity; that is, its evil. In the end of the world, God will purge all evil from all of His creations, and He will recreate it all to be wholly righteous. II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). "Behold, I make all things new..." Revelation 21:5 (KJB).

All of this means that when God used the word "perish" in John 3:16, He did not mean that He will ever cast His living humans, who are unbelievers whom He creates and loves, into an eternal lake of fire and annihilate their lives except for their "worm" which symbolizes their dead, negative natures which will squirm in the fire forever. Mark 9:44; Isaiah 66:24 (KJB). God can never annihilate anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 36:6 (KJB). God had to have meant by His use of the word "perish" in John 3:16 that He will use His fiery wrath against evil in the end of the world to dissolve the systems of all unbelievers confined to the regions of death in order to purge all sins, evil, and spiritual deaths from their systems so that He can use their remaining living elements to recreate them as new, righteous systems that will inherit His new, recreated earth. But since "the just shall live by faith," Christ must first appear to them and cause them all to repent and believe that He has the power to save them from eternal death. Habakkuk 2:4; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Thus all unbelievers will lose their former, earthly selves, but God will bring them back to faith in Him so that He can recreate them to a new and righteous life on His new earth. John 12:25 (KJB).

Humans who "hate their lives in this world;" that is, those who hate their sins and evil natures and repent of them and put their faith in Christ their Savior, will attain eternal life as a gift from God while still alive in their flesh. John 5:24 (KJB). God will annul their spiritual deaths and wash away their sins with the blood of Jesus, but He will recreate them in such a way that they will still retain their identities and most of their personalities. In other words, they "will keep their lives." But God will somewhat recreate even living humans saved by His grace in their souls and spirits when they repent and believe, and He will give them new bodies when He Raptures His Church. II Corinthians 5:17; II Corinthians 5:1-5; John 12:25 (KJB).

Verse 27 affirms that God is eternal, but He will allow sin and evil to have only a temporary effect on His eternal creations.

In verse 28, the phrase "the children of thy servants shall continue" can only mean that God will save the entire human race since His servants can only be those humans who are saved by His grace.

Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                Psalm 102:18-22 (KJB)

The first phrase of Psalm 102:18 identifies this verse and those that follow to verse 22 as being a prophecy. The second phrase of this verse prophesies that eventually all humans that God ever created will one day worship Him. Since God wrote the Bible in the eternal sense, the Psalmist prophesies as if this event has already happened. This verse actually prophesies that God will save the entire human race in the end. God's promise in Revelation 21:5, "Behold, I make all things new," verifies this prophecy.

Verse 19 affirms that God eternally observes the earth and all of its inhabitants.

In verse 20, God hears "the groaning of the prisoner." The Devil injects spiritual death into the inner beings of all humans which causes humans to sin and commit evil acts. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). This fact makes all humans prisoners of the Devil since the Devil aims to use spiritual death to utterly destroy the good natures of all humans that God creates. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:27; Job 1:11; Job 2:5; Job 2:9 (KJB). But God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). God Himself has liberated all of the Devil's "prisoners" because He came to earth in human form to take all of their eternal deaths, and all of the sins and evil that causes it, on Himself on a cruel cross and turned that eternal death into a temporary death by rising alive from the dead. When the Apostle Paul wrote, "Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him," He meant that all Christians have suffered only three days of death, but when Christ rose from the dead, He gives His own eternal life to all Christians. Romans 6:7 (KJB).

But God has a second method to liberate "those that are appointed to death." When Jesus died on the cross, He commended His Spirit to the care of His Father which meant that the Holy Spirit possessed the entire power of God when He descended into Hell. Luke 23:46 (KJB). The Holy Spirit had a reason to descend into Hell, and that was to cleanse God Himself of all sin, evil, and spiritual death that Jesus took upon Himself on the cross. Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:25-31 (KJB). Since the Holy Spirit happened to be completely innocent of all sins and evil, then Hell could not hold Him. The Holy Spirit left behind in Hell all of the sins, evil, and spiritual deaths that Jesus bore for all humans, and He rose to reanimate the perfect body of Jesus so that He could rise from the dead victorious over all sin, evil, and spiritual death. I Peter 3:18; II Timothy 1:10; Revelation 1:17-18 (KJB). Jesus purchased the salvation by grace of all believers when He shed His blood and water on the cross, but the Holy Spirit must activate that salvation when every believer saved by grace repents and puts their faith in Christ. I Peter 1:18-19; I Corinthians 6:11 (KJB). In like manner, the Holy Spirit saved all living humans confined to the regions of death, but Christ must activate that salvation when He appears to all of His living humans confined to the regions of death and causes them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14; I Corinthians 3:11-15 (KJB). When they all repent and believe, Christ will use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to separate their cleansed, living natures from their dead and evil natures. II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3 (KJB). Christ will recover and recreate their living natures to a new life on His recreated earth, and He will cast all of their separated dead natures into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). The Old Testament burnt offerings symbolized this form of salvation. Genesis 8:20-21 (KJB).

In verses 21 and 22, God will be praised by all His people in Zion, which is Heaven, and in Jerusalem on the earth. God will save from spiritual death all His living humans to serve Him in Heaven and on His recreated earth. John 6:33; John 6:51; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12; Matthew 6:10 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                Psalm 98:3-4 (KJB)

Psalm 98:3 relates that God will save the entire "house of Israel." Ezekiel prophesied the same, and so did the Apostle Paul. Ezekiel 37:1-14; Romans 11:26 (KJB). Jesus advised a Pharisee, who did not believe in Jesus and could not have been saved by grace, that he should do good works because he would be rewarded for that "at the resurrection of the just." Luke 14:12-14 (KJB). Jesus promised this Pharisee that he would be resurrected to life because He knew that "the whole house of Israel" would be resurrected and saved. Ezekiel 37:11-14 (KJB). Since only some Jews become saved by grace, then the rest of them who fail to believe in Jesus must be confined to the regions of death when they die. John 8:23-24 (KJB). God also promised in His Word that He will extend His salvation of the Jews to the Gentiles. Isaiah 49:6; Isaiah 52:10; Luke 3:6; Luke 2:30-32; Acts 13:47 (KJB). All of this can only mean that in the end of the world, Christ will appear to all Jews and Gentiles confined to the regions of death, and He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior so that He can resurrect the Jews to a recreated life in the land of Israel, and He will resurrect the Gentiles to a recreated life in the rest of the new earth. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).

The Psalmist further prophesied that the whole earth has "seen the salvation of our God." Since God had the Bible written in the eternal sense, then the Psalmist prophesied as if this event had already happened. Since God extends His salvation by His grace and His salvation by His mercy from the Jews to the Gentiles, then this verse can only mean that God will save the entire human race, some by His grace and all others with a lesser form of salvation. It makes no sense that God would resurrect only the Jews to a new life in Israel, then cause all of the rest of humanity to see it, and then cast them all into an eternal lake of fire. This fact can only mean that the verb "to see" means that the entire human race will repent and participate in this lesser form of salvation that God will provide. Isaiah 49:6; Isaiah 52:10; Luke 2:30-32; Luke 3:6; Acts 13:47 (KJB).

Psalm 98:4 relates the results of the Psalmist's prophecy. "All the earth" will, after the resurrection to life of the entire human race, rejoice and praise the Lord in universal worship.

Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                Psalm 99:8 (KJB)

Sin and evil are merely inventions. The Devil and all the forces of evil never created anything. All they can do is to take the realities that God has created and misuse them to invent false systems that can be very destructive. When the Devil injected spiritual death into a fallen human race, humans became able to invent their own evil and destructive systems. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15; Psalm 106:29; Psalm 106:39; Proverbs 8:12-13; Ecclesiastes 7:29; Romans 1:30 (KJB). Some evil and sinful systems can be very pleasurable for a short time, but they all prove to be destructive in the end. Hebrews 11:25 (KJB).

God has created literally everything in reality. Every sense object and thought object and feeling can be put into words by human intelligence. But human intelligence is limited. Humans cannot put into words feelings and ideas that are too great for them to comprehend. Romans 11:33 (KJB). But every sense object and every thought object and feeling that humans can have can be put into words that can be put into creative systems. That means that every sense object and every thought object and every feeling humans can have can only be real. Every sentence in any language that humans can invent can be good and creative if it imparts information, comforts, enlightens, or just makes someone feel better. Hatred can be good if one hates evil. Jealousy can be good if one uses it to guard one's family from harm.

But humans also possess the ability to misuse God's real sense objects, thought objects, and feelings to invent false systems that may be highly pleasurable but eventually prove to be destructive. Humans can also invent systems that are directly destructive such as weapons for murder or to wage war. These are the systems of sin and evil. These evil systems stem from the spiritual death that the Devil injects into all humans. But neither the Devil nor any human can create any new sense object, thought object, or feeling. Humans and the Devil can only misuse the real sense objects, thought objects, and feelings to invent sinful and evil systems.

Some words denote basic and irreducible sense objects and thought objects such as a ball and the idea of round. Some words denote good and creative systems such as hospitals and good health. Some words denote sinful and evil systems such as thievery or murder. Some words denote systems that can be harmless such as mistakes in arithmetic or accidentally dropping something, but even these systems stem from the ability of humans to invent false systems. Some words denote the effects of false systems such as ether in space or remorse. But every word and every system, true or false, can only be real because humans can learn something useful from every one of them. Invariably, no matter what systems, true or false, that humans may invent, they all comprise combinations of real sense objects, thought objects, or feelings that God has given to human consciousness.

A Theory of Everything

 A theory of everything can only begin with consciousness. The very purpose of consciousness is to establish reality. There can be no sense objects or thought objects without consciousness. At best, without consciousness, there can only be a potential reality. Consciousness must be joined to its object for reality to exist.

Those who believe in the evolution of the universe and life in it contend that they can look through their telescopes and observe that the universe began from a singularity; that is, a point in space, and expanded to form stars and galaxies and the development of life over a period of about 14 billion years. But they forget that only their consciousness can make that observation. Without consciousness, the 14 billion years would disappear. Suppose a consciousless universe exists somewhere that has potential reality but never develops life. What possible difference would it make if that consciousless universe ever existed or non-existed? Such a universe would be completely meaningless and useless. Such a consciousless universe could never possess the reality of time and space. It could only come into existence and go out of existence in the same instant, like a virtual particle.

Our universe could have been a virtual particle into which Consciousness entered to expand it into a real universe of time and space. Being in control of time and space, that Consciousness could also have compressed the 14 billion years of human observation into six days; that is, 144 hours. Genesis 1:31; Psalm 90:4 (KJB). Thus when observers look at the universe, they can observe that it developed and expanded according to the dictates of an Almighty Consciousness. Genesis 1:1 (KJB).

But any consciousless universe, even though it possesses potential reality, can only be equal to absolute nothingness. It cannot be equal to nothing because only consciousness can separate something; that is, ideas and sense objects, from nothing as an idea that distinguishes each individual idea and sense object from all other ideas and sense objects. The idea of nothing is also a reality. Consciousness establishes reality by its use of thought objects, sense objects, and the idea of nothing. Thus only consciousness creates reality.

Yet, even though absolute nothingness cannot exist in any positive way, its potential reality can cause it to develop destructive forces that attempt to nullify reality. Absolute nothingness can develop negative and destructive consciousnesses that the Bible calls devils. It can also employ a destructive force called gravity. Black holes in space absorb all matter and light that falls into it. But black holes cannot destroy the information; that is, the mathematics that forms light and matter because that information becomes imprinted on the event horizon of the black hole. But Consciousness can use that information to recreate all light and matter that a black hole destroys.

Gravity is a destructive force, not a creative one. But as the Bible so often explains, God is able to turn destructive systems into creative systems. God created matter and energy as the strong force and the electromagnetic force that forms atoms. These forces are much more powerful than gravity over a short distance. But these forces in opposition to gravity formed the stars and galaxies of our universe. Gravity could be a pushing force, not an attracting force. If one rolls a marble around in a bowl, one can observe that the force in the sides of the bowl keeps the marble rolling around and not any attractive force at the center of the bowl. The same could be true about gravity. One would think that since Einstein theorized that gravity is curved space and a falling object must follow the curve like a marble in a bowl, then gravity must be a pushing force. All of this means that God was able to take a destructive force and use it in a creative way.

Only God could have created life. The DNA codes that forms the mRNA codes are so complex that they actually possess codes within codes that are necessary for life to exist. Each one of these codes are dependent on the other codes. Evolution depends on the beneficial mutation of these codes. But these codes are so dependent on each other that if one code mutates, that would destroy the effectiveness of the other codes, making life impossible. Only the Infinite Intellect of God could have designed and created these intricate and interdependent codes that forms life. Genesis 1:27; Psalm 139:13-18 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Psalms

                               Psalm 77:15 (KJB)

In this verse, God promises that He will save the entire nation of Israel. Because God often spoke in the eternal sense, He states that He has already saved them. Since only some Jews have been saved by God's grace, then God must have another form of salvation for the rest of the Jews.

The Israelites trapped in slavery in Egypt symbolized the entire human race trapped in a state of sin, evil, and spiritual death. Pharaoh symbolized the Devil, and the slave drivers symbolized demons. Moses and Aaron symbolized God's power to save His people from slavery to the Devil. The deaths of the Egyptian firstborn symbolized that the regions of death can be eternal. The sacrifice of the lamb by the Israelites and the observance of the Passover symbolized all humans that God would save by His grace. The passage through the Red Sea symbolized that God will save the entire human race from sin, evil, and eternal death. The wanderings of the Israelites in the desert symbolized the fact that most humans, even though guided and protected by God, will refuse to believe that God can save them, and in their excessive pride, they will look for ways to save themselves. At Mount Sinai, when God extended His grace to them, they demanded a Law that they could obey so that they could save themselves, but they could not obey that Law. All of those Israelites, except for Joshua and Caleb, died in the wilderness just as do all humans not saved by grace, but that does not mean that they will be dead forever. Moses and Aaron died on mountains which meant that they went to Heaven. Ezekiel prophesied that God will raise the entire nation of Israel from the dead. Ezekiel 37:1-14 (KJB). The Apostle Paul prophesied that God will save the entire nation of Israel. Romans 11:26 (KJB). The Book of Exodus.

When the children of Israel passed over the flooded Jordan river, that symbolized all humans who would become saved by God's grace. Even though those Israelites under the leadership of Joshua, who represented Christ, gained special favor and protection from God, God still expected them to fight against sin and evil in the land of Canaan which represents the state of grace. God expects His people saved by grace to fight against sin and evil both inside themselves and in the world. Ephesians 6:10-17 (KJB). Just as the Israelites failed to drive out all evil from their land, so Christians will fail to drive out all sin and evil from themselves. But for those Christians who faithfully fight against sin and evil for all their lives, they will attain a state of rest in which they will realize that Christ will never forsake them even though they lost some of their battles with sin and evil. Hebrews 13:5; Matthew 11:29 (KJB) The Book of Joshua.

God's original plan seemed to be that He would save all Israelites by His grace, but when most Israelites rejected His grace, He extended His grace to the Gentiles. Romans 11:1-36 (KJB). But if God intends to resurrect all Israelites from the dead, would He not also extend that resurrection to the Gentiles. In the end of the world, Christ will appear to all Jews and Gentiles confined to the regions of death, and He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior so that He can save them all from eternal death and resurrect them all to a recreated life on His recreated earth. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).

In Psalm 89:34, God assures all humans that He will always keep His Word.
