Psalm 40:9
9 I have preached [basar]
righteousness [tsedeq] in the
great [rab]
congregation [qahal]: lo, I
have not refrained [kala'] my
lips [saphah], O
LORD [Yahovah], thou
knowest [yada`]. KJV-Interlinear
9 I have told the glad news of deliverance in
the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O
LORD. ESV
The great
congregation, refers to a vast audience beyond counting. Only God has addressed
vast audiences that fit this description. And more specifically, Jesus Christ
is the one who addresses audiences.
In the beginning,
when angels were first created, the Lord addressed the entire realm of angels.
When the universe
was created, this also was done in the presence of all the angels that had
already been created.
The fall of Satan,
and the angels who fell with him, and the trial that preceded thereafter, it
was the Lord who addressed the great congregation of angels.
At the rapture
which is our resurrection, it will be the Lord who will address the vast
congregation of believers, who will be caught up in that instant.
At the second
advent, at the end of the millennium, at the beginning of the new universe, at
each of the respective Judgment Seat of Christ, following each resurrection,
and also at the Great White Throne, wherein unbelievers will be sentenced to
the Lake of Fire, all of these audiences will be addressed by Christ.
Truth and
righteousness and justice will always be proclaimed. The Lord will not suppress
His own words, or compromise or restrain the word of truth, at any time or at
any instance, in all of history.
Truth is the same
yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and will never change.
Gods plan is the
same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and will never change.
Study [by instruction],
to show thyself
approved [spiritually mature]
unto God,
a workman [student]
that need not be
ashamed [ignorant],
rightly dividing [learning, understanding, discerning]
the word of truth [Bible doctrine].
These
studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org,
and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so
already, and therefore not be lost forever.
And
if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you
can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come
to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and
purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a
phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever. To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily
study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big
time.
The
Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human
history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to
complete yourself beyond your imagination.
But
you have to decide to make that commitment.
No one else can study for you.
You have to do that yourself.
