Psalm 19:6
6 His going forth [mowtsa'] is from the end [qatseh] of
the heaven, [shamayim] and his circuit [taquwphah] unto the ends [qatsah] of
it: and there is nothing hid [cathar] from the
heat [chammah] thereof. KJV-Interlinear
6 Its
rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of
them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat. NASB
Going forth, ‘mowtsa,’
means the circuit or path as in a race.
And so the sun goes forth
about its business as designed. It
travels without tiring without letting up in its pace.
The sun travels from one
end, the east, to the end of its total circuit.
Here that circuit is typically a year, covering all the four seasons,
traveling throughout the year, and back to the point of when all things
seemingly restart.
Circuit, ‘taquwphah,’
means revolution, path, course. And here
refers to the completion of that path.
Unto the ends, ‘qutsah,’
means termination, end point, point of restarting.
Nothing hid from the sun,
is a reference to the life giving warmth and light. For all living things, there is some benefit
from the sun. Even the things that live
in the deepest portions of the ocean, benefit to some extent. But here the surface of the earth where
humanity lives, that life giving warmth and light are in view. For it is humanity that receives life and it
is humanity that benefits for the purpose of continuing on forever.
This whole set of
symbolisms points to the fact that all of humanity in its entirety, since the
time of Adam, to the four corners of the planet, has benefited from the sun,
has seen the sun, has looked heavenward, for that is how you see the sun. You have to look to the sun in order to see
it, and all of humanity, no matter who they were or when they lived, has looked
up and seen the sun at some point in their life.
And for the most part,
most people see the sun every day, or at least its affects, all of their life.
It is impossible for anyone
to have lived and not know of a higher being, or designer, or to even wonder
about that question.
And Bible doctrine is so
much more than the mere appearance of the sun during the day and the stars
during the night.
The sun does its job
ceaselessly and tirelessly and consistently throughout the ages.
When you combine the
truth of doctrine, by means of your daily studies, with the patterns and design
of nature, one cannot escape the questions about God and life, and what our
individual obligations and purposes are.
Those who fight the truth
and their place in life, fight only to defeat themselves.
Look up at the sun and
the stars and try as you may, you cannot change their characteristics. You
cannot change their course. You cannot
change their appearance or their appearing.
And so too, God has
placed certain characteristics upon you and your life, and of those you cannot
change but can only improve upon through compliance with Gods plan and purpose
for your life.
To the degree that you
comply with and subscribe to, Gods plan, will determine the degree of your
blessings and the completion of your overall life.
To the degree that you
fight it, will only result in loss of blessing and loss of happiness. And why would you do that to yourself?
