Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                 Psalm 119:119 (KJB)

This verse reveals how God deals with sin and evil. God regards sin, evil, and the Devil to be enemies of His creation, particularly of His living humans that He creates in His image. Genesis 1:27 (KJB). The Devil became able to inject spiritual death into every human because all humans inherit a weak free will from Adam. Genesis 2:16-17; Romans 5:12 (KJB). All humans born into the world, except for innocent children who die, eventually sin because their weak free will makes sin unavoidable. As soon as humans sin, the Devil injects spiritual death into them. Genesis 3:15 (KJB). It is the "seed" of the Devil. Sin causes spiritual death, and spiritual death, in turn, causes sin and evil. In this sense, all humans are copies of Adam because all humans, except for innocent children who die, become predetermined to disobedience. Eve was an example of an innocent child until she gave the forbidden fruit to Adam. Adam, who fully knew what he was doing, became an example of the weakness of human free will that causes sin. I Timothy 2:13-14 (KJB).

God loves every living human whom He creates, and His Love can never fail. I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). By injecting spiritual death into every human who sins, the Devil's goal is to cause at least one living human to become so overpowered by evil that he becomes totally evil and lost from God's Love forever. Job 2:5; Job 2:9 (KJB). If God ever casts any of His living humans into an eternal lake of fire, they would become totally evil, and He could no longer love them. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). God will cast only separated, dead humans into the lake of fire. If the Devil could ever cause just one human to become totally evil, then he would prove that God's Love cannot be Almighty which would give the Devil a means to finally murder God. John 8:44 (KJB). God gave the Devil his chance when all the sins and evil of humanity nailed Jesus to the cross. Acts 4:23-28; I John 2:2 (KJB). But Jesus rose from the dead victorious over all sin, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil. These are the enemies of God and all of His living humans. I Corinthians 15:20-28; II Timothy 1:10; I Timothy 4:10; Revelation 1:17-18 (KJB).

The Devil even failed with the one person with whom he was most likely to succeed. Judas Iscariot suffered remorse after his betrayal of Jesus. Remorse can only come from the good nature of humans that God creates. Matthew 27:1-5 (KJB). Although Judas Iscariot refused to repent and killed himself to keep from repentance, Christ will cause even him, and all others confined to the regions of death, to repent and return to faith in Him when He visits them in the end of the world. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Jesus demonstrated this fact when He called Judas Iscariot His friend when Judas came to arrest Him. Matthew 26:50 (KJB). Since Jesus laid down His life for all of His friends, meaning all of His living humans whom He creates, then Christ will save even Judas Iscariot in the end of the world although with a lesser form of salvation than that of grace. John 15:13 (KJB).

Psalm 119:119 teaches that God will get rid of all evil "like dross." The Old Testament burnt offerings symbolized that God will use His fiery wrath against evil to melt down every human not saved by grace in order to separate their good and living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can save their good natures and utterly destroy their evil natures. Genesis 8:20-21; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:5 (KJB). In Matthew 15:13, Jesus taught that His Father will root up all that He did not plant, meaning spiritual death, and He will save all that He has planted, meaning His living humans that He creates and can never lose. In Jesus' explanation of His parable of the tares and wheat, the tares and wheat are reaped at the same time, but the wheat is saved and the tares are burned. Matthew 13:36-43 (KJB). John the Baptist taught that Jesus will save by His grace those humans whom He baptizes with the Holy Spirit, but He will save the rest of humanity with His fiery wrath against evil. Christ will "throughly purge His floor," which can only mean that He will thoroughly cleanse His creation of all evil. Christ will save the "wheat," and He will burn the "chaff." The wheat and the chaff are inside every human. Matthew 3:10-12 (KJB). Ezekiel prophesied that God will melt down "the house of Israel" to separate the silver from the dross. Ezekiel 22:17-22 (KJB). God will extend that same mercy to all living humans confined to the regions of death in the end of the world. II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; Revelation 21:1-5; Genesis 8:20-21 (KJB). 

Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                Psalm 119:89-91 (KJB)

The absolutely perfect and pure Word of God abides in Heaven. These are the books that Christ will open when He judges the dead in the end of the world. Revelation 20:1-2 (KJB). On the earth, God has a pure, written Word of God in English which is the King  James Bible. The Old Testament pure Word of God is the Masoretic Text. The pure Word of God in Greek is the Received Text that was translated into the King James Bible. Psalm 12:6-7 (KJB). All other so-called versions are based on grossly corrupted manuscripts. But the perfect Word of God on earth is not as absolutely perfect as is the Word of God in Heaven.

Holy men were directly inspired by the Holy Spirit to write the Word of God. II Peter 1:21 (KJB). But parts of the Bible were written by men who could not have been directly inspired by the Holy Spirit, such as the letters that were written by the enemies of the Jews to the king of Persia and the letter written by a Roman soldier to the governor Felix which explained why he arrested the Apostle Paul. Ezra 4:11-16; Ezra 5:7-17; Acts 23:26-30 (KJB). Yet, God allowed many such uninspired writings to become a part of His inspired Word because they make the stories in the Bible understandable. In this way, they helped to teach the truths of the Word of God. Even holy men of God sometimes wrote instructions which could not have been directly inspired by the Holy Spirit as when Moses wrote a law that, under certain circumstances, the Israelites could practice divorce. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (KJB). Jesus taught that divorce was always a sin. Mark 10:1-12 (KJB). So why did God allow Moses to write divorce into the law? God meant to teach those who read the Word of God that sin itself can be unavoidable. Sometimes, divorce cannot be avoided because it becomes the lesser of two evils. The same can be said about defensive wars. When a person fights for his country against an invader, he commits a sin which cannot be avoided. God even allowed those who wrote the Bible to make mistakes and contradictions so that, in that way, God teaches humans that they are fallible in everything they do. But the believer saved by grace who prayerfully reads God's Word guided by the Holy Spirit can easily discern the difference between man-made errors and contradictions and the beautiful, spiritual content and message of God's Word. John 8:43; Matthew 16:13-17; I Corinthians 2:14; Ezekiel 20:25 (KJB).

God understands that because of the influence of spiritual death within every human, sin becomes unavoidable. Genesis 2:17 (KJB). For this reason, God's mercy endures forever, and His compassion always makes Him willing to forgive any human who confesses and repents of his sins, even after they die and become confined to the regions of death. Psalm 136:1; John 11:25-26; I John 1:9; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). God's main problem with humans, which engenders His wrath, happens when humans commit deliberate and willful evil acts. Such evil acts demonstrate rebellion against God and the worship of some other god. Numbers 15:22-41 (KJB). Such evil acts ignore God and cause humans to adopt the gods of the love of money, power, ideology, philosophy, pleasure, and religion. Such evil brings humans very close to eternal, spiritual death. John 8:21-24 (KJB). But Christ suffered the eternal deaths of all His living humans on the cross so that He could save them all. John 6:32-33; John 6:47-51 (KJB). God will eventually save even those rebellious humans because He will cause them all, sooner or later, to repent and return to faith in Him as their Savior. Psalm 68:18; Psalm 107:1-21; John 5:24; John 11:25-26; John 12:31-32; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB).

God extends His faithfulness "unto all generations;" that is, to every human who ever lived because He creates and loves every human, and He can never lose anything His has ever created, and His Love can never fail. Genesis 1:27; Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8; Revelation 21:5; Psalm 36:6 (KJB). God has a plan to return every living human to faith in Him and save them all from eternal sin, evil, and eternal death. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). All humans are God's servants whom He loves and can never fail to save. God knows that all humans need Him and not their gods who can only ruin them.

God is never restrained by sin and evil because the Bible teaches that He holds all power over all sin, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil. Jesus judged only the Devil and all evil when He suffered and died on the cross, not any of His living humans whom He creates and loves. John 12:31-32; John 12:47 (KJB). Sin, evil, and the Devil does not bother God because He knows He has all power to purge it all from His creations, and He can recreate it all to be pure and holy. II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:5 (KJB). God's Power is not restrained by physical death or by any choices that humans can make. John 11:25-26; John 12:47 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                Psalm 115:16-17 (KJB)

The first part of verse 16 makes a distinct difference between Heaven and the heavens. Genesis 1:1 is often misquoted when the word "heavens" is used instead of Heaven. God created Heaven, the abode of Himself and His angels, at the same time that He created the earth. God created the heavens; that is, the universe, long before He created Heaven and earth.

The second part of verse 16 teaches that God has given the earth "to the children of men," which can only mean every human who ever lived. God never gives temporary gifts. Whatever God gives lasts forever. Romans 11:29 (KJB). Since God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His love can never fail, and His Will, which can never be checked, is that all men become saved, then God has certainly created a plan to save the entire, living human race that He creates and loves. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8; I Timothy 2:4; Luke 20:38 (KJB). God saves some humans by His grace, and He will save the rest of humanity confined to the regions of death when Christ appears to them in the end of the world and causes all of His living humans to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Christ will then use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings so that He can separate their repentant, living natures that He will resurrect and recreate to inherit His recreated earth, from their dead and evil natures that He will cast into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 20:11-15; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB).

Verse 17 relates that the dead do not praise the Lord. The dead go down into the silence of the lake of fire, not God's living humans. This prophecy agrees exactly with Revelation 20:11-15. John 5:28-29 (KJB

Speculation on the Speed of Light

 Is the speed of light infinite or does it travel through space at 186,000 miles per second? According to the theory of relativity, time stops at the speed of light. Also, according to that theory, space and time are equal to each other. This means one second of time equals one second of distance in our universe. But if time stops at the speed of light, then a beam of light could cross the entire universe in no time at all. But if time and space equal each other, then a beam of light could not cross the universe because there could be no universe for it to cross.

Such a universe could only be a singularity in which there is no space whatsoever. There could also be no beam of light since it would have no distance to occupy. This singularity could also have no mass since the existence of mass requires distance, even if only within itself. However, this singularity would contain a huge amount of stationary energy since all of its light and mass would have to be converted to something. Such a singularity could never expand into a universe of light, space, mass, time, and motion because it would forever be locked into its state of energy. It would contain no internal means to convert its energy to light, space, time, and motion required for a universe to exist. In such a singularity, light would have no speed at all since it would be absorbed into a stationary energy.

Therefore, in order to get a singularity to expand into a universe of a limited speed of light, space, time, mass, and motion; the energy of a singularity must be converted to a limited speed of light, which in turn, would make a universe of space, time, mass, and motion possible. If an infinite speed of light is used, then space would also become infinite and that universe would immediately disappear into its expansion. This could be what happens to virtual particles which are singularities. The only possible power that could convert stationary energy into a limited speed of light which would make space, time, mass, and motion possible is Consciousness. Only Consciousness can collapse a beam of light; that is, electromagnetic energy, into a particle which has mass and moves through space and time. Consciousness could also collapse a wave of light into a photon which has no mass but which can light up the universe. In order for our universe to exist, an Infinite Consciousness must convert the energy of a singularity to a limited speed of light by His observation. Genesis 1:3 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                Psalm 112:6-9 (KJB)

In verse 6, God promises that He will forever remember the righteous. But who were the righteous in the Old Testament? Even though the Old Testament writers sometimes reported that some persons were saved by grace, they seemed to have few ideas about what that meant. To the Old Testament writers, the righteous were all humans that God creates in His image. God created them all to be good and part of that goodness was faith in Him. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:27 (KJB). In order to turn to sin and evil, humans had to let the influence of evil within them cause them to deny their faith in God. They had to become proud and adopt the idea that they could create their own good lives with no more need for faith in God. Genesis 3:5; Genesis 4:1-5 (KJB).

Most humans throughout history have had their own little gods whom they thought would alleviate their sufferings and provide a better life, or non-life, for them. They have had their little gods of religion, philosophy, ideology, money, power, and pleasure. Even the atheists have their their own little god of annihilation. They believe that if physical death annuls their consciousness, then that at least will relieve their sufferings. But God will never forget His righteous nature that He puts into all humans. God's Love can never fail, and He can never lose anything He has ever created. I Corinthians 13:8; Ecclesiastes 3:14; Revelation 21:5 (KJB).

A time will come when God will renew the latent faith in Him of all His righteous humans that He has created and loves. God will renew the faith in Him of all humans who become saved by grace while they are still alive in the flesh. But Christ will visit all living humans who died in their sins and whom He had to confine to the regions of death in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to repent and return to their faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14; John 8:21-24; John 5:28-29; Philippians 2:9-11 (KJB). God will save them from eternal death because God will use His fiery wrath against evil to separate their living natures from their eternal deaths and all their sins and evil that He will cast into the lake of fire. I Corinthians 3:11-15; II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). The enemies of God and the enemies of His living humans are the same enemies. God will reestablish the inner faith of all of His living humans, and they will be glad when they see God utterly destroy theirs and God's enemies. Psalm 112:6-8; II Timothy 1:10; I Corinthians 15:26; I John 3:8 (KJB).

The righteous natures of all God's living humans will either be saved by grace or they will be saved because their good works will prove that their righteous natures can never be utterly destroyed. Isaiah 26:12; John 5:28-29 (KJB). God will save some living humans by His grace as a free gift apart from any good works because they put their faith in Christ's sacrifice for them on the cross. John 5:24; Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJB). God will save, exalt, and honor all of His living humans. Psalm 112:9 (KJB). Living humans saved by grace will enjoy a home in Heaven with God forever. John 17:24 (KJB). Living humans whom God will save from the regions of eternal death will enjoy eternal, recreated lives on God's new earth. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                Psalm 112:1-10 (KJB)

This Psalm can only be about the kind of salvation that God gives a righteous person who delights in His commandments. In the Old Testament, these commandments can only be the Ten Commandments. The righteous person cannot strictly obey the Ten Commandments, but he can love them and his God and try to live by them. I Kings 8:46 (KJB). This type of salvation cannot be by grace because that higher form of salvation happens to be solely a gift from God apart from any good works or attempts to keep the Ten Commandments. Genesis 6:8; Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJB). God saved Noah by His grace before He ever told Noah to build the Ark.

Many persons love God and delight in His Law who do not receive wealth while in this world. God wrote His Word in the eternal sense, so His promise of riches to those who love Him and His Word He will give to them in eternity. In other words, "his righteousness endureth forever" because of his good works. Psalm 112:9 (KJB).

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 repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Christ will save them all from eternal death and recreate them all with new lives on His recreated earth, and He will reward them according to their good works. John 5:28-29; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB). Every human cannot avoid sin, but every human also cannot avoid doing some good works in their lives that God has given them to do. Isaiah 26:12 (KJB). Christ will save all of His living humans from the regions of death, but He will use His fiery wrath against evil to burn all of their sinful and evil natures with all of their sinful and evil acts. I Corinthians 3:11-15; Matthew 13:36-43; II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; Psalm 36:6; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). God will reward those who loved Him and His Word in their earthly lives with honor and wealth in their new lives on His new earth. Mostly, these will be the Old Testament Jews who loved God and His Word. Psalm 112:1-3 (KJB). Those living humans who led sinful and evil lives on the former earth, and who did few good works, will have much lower positions on God's new earth.

I Corinthians 3:11-15 cannot be about salvation by grace because these verses use the phrases "any man" and "every man" which, according to I Corinthians 3:10, cannot be about living humans saved by grace. These verses relate about God's lesser form of salvation according to good works. Also, God saves these living humans from the regions of death by His fiery wrath against evil which separates their good and living natures that God created and loves from their dead and evil natures. Living humans saved by grace become saved solely by the blood and water that flowed from Jesus on the cross, never by God's fiery wrath. Jesus prophesied that God will save all of His living humans in the end of the world because of their good works. John 5:28-29 (KJB). Revelation 20:5 relates that God will raise all of His repentant, living humans from the dead, and Revelation 20:11-15 relates that God will cast only their dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Matthew 13:36-43 (KJB). Revelation 21:8 relates that God will cast only the totally evil natures of humans into the lake of fire. In Revelation 21:5, God promises, "Behold, I make all things new." In order to do that, God must resurrect and recreate all of His repentant, living humans confined to the regions of death. God relates in Revelation 22:11-12 that He will leave all of the "unjust" and "filthy" behind, and He will preserve all of His righteous humans and reward them according to their good works.

The last verse of Psalm 112 prophesies that the "wicked" will see the salvation of God's righteous humans and that will grieve them. They will "melt away" in the lake of fire, and all of their evil desires will "perish."

Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                Psalm 107:41 (KJB)

In this verse, God promises the poor that He will raise them above their poverty. But most poor people in this world live and die in poverty. But God wrote the Bible in the eternal sense which means all human problems have an eternal solution, and since God never does anything halfway, then this verse can only mean that God will raise all poor people who ever lived to a higher state of prosperity in eternity. All humans live in a state of poverty, either spiritual poverty or economic poverty, or both, in this world. Humans who recognize that they are "poor in spirit;" that is, those who realize that they have a sinful nature that keeps them from enjoying all the blessings that God desires for them to have, will be those who become likely to repent and believe in Christ while still alive in the flesh so that He can give them eternal life and a home in Heaven with God forever. Matthew 5:3; John 5:24 (KJB).

Jesus also promised that "the meek shall inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5 (KJB). This can only be a lesser form of salvation than that of grace. Since Jesus prayed that His Father's Will be done on earth to the same extent that His Will be done in Heaven, then Christ must have a way to change the sinful pride of all humans who do not become saved by grace to a state of meekness and humility so that they can inherit the earth. Matthew 6:10 (KJB). Christ will accomplish this salvation when He visits all of His living humans confined to the regions of death in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior so that He can separate all of their living natures that He creates and loves from their dead and evil natures. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Christ will resurrect and recreate His repentant, living humans to be the meek who will inherit an eternal life on His recreated earth. II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).

In the second part of this verse, God "maketh Him families like a flock." This phrase can only mean that God will provide a higher and a lesser form of salvation for all of His living humans because they all are His flock of sheep. God considers every human He ever created as being one of His sheep. Psalm 100:3 (KJB). When Jesus related His parable of the sheepfold, the sheep that He calls out who follow Him represent all humans saved by grace, but the sheep left in the sheepfold represent the rest of humanity. Jesus promised that He will save all of His sheep. John 10:9-11 (KJB). When Jesus saw the multitude "as sheep having no shepherd," He considered them all as being His sheep who had not as yet accepted Him as their Shepherd. Jesus also healed them all. If the multitudes that followed Jesus represent the entire human race, then Christ will heal and save all of His sheep, some by His grace and all others with a lesser form of salvation. Matthew 9:35-36 (KJB). Whenever God becomes moved with compassion, He always heals and saves all.
