“God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.” (Psalm 47:5) After a season of seven years of judgment, God will start His kingdom by celebrating His own victory. What a glorious time of rejoicing with God about this amazing time in human history, the Kingdom Age. Things seem bad now. Any they will get much worse. But God is always in control. May we trust God, our King, and anticipate the celebration of this next seaso

3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. 4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. Psalm 46,47,48 is a prophecy trilogy. Psalm 47 is the establishment of the Kingdom age. Before roles and responsibilities are handed out, submission will be required. People groups and nations will humble themselves before the honorable King. Then, saints will be assured of having positio

47 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. 2 For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. Psalm 46,47,48 is a prophecy trilogy. 46 stops the global fighting. 47 establishes the Kingdom of God’s dear Son, Jesus. Welcomed and celebrated, God starts His reign on earth with a coronation celebration. Let’s practice now praising God, just as we would during the Kingdom age. God is a worthy King!

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46,47, 48 is a prophecy trilogy, mapping out the end times for humanity. In my opinion, Psalm 46:10 is often misunderstood. Although we should be still in God’s presence and acknowledge His sovereign influence over our lives, I see this verse as a decree from a peaceful God to a war-loving human race. After seven years of deception

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth. 9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and cuts the spear in sunder; he burns the chariot in the fire. Psalm 46,47,48 are a prophecy trilogy. In verses 46:8,9, we see Who is really in control. In all of the turmoil of an end-times judgment, only God is powerful enough to step onto the world’s stage and fix every aspect of humanity’s mess. From destroying

Psalm 46, 47, 48 are a prophecy trilogy. Verse 46:6,7, “The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.” During judgment, the wicked, instead of fleeing from their evil condition, turn up the heat, and rage against the wrath of God, the Judge. Even in Jude, the ungodly are predicted to refuse to be humble. If humanity won’t humble itself, it will be humbled, thro

In the prophecy trilogy of Psalm 46,47,48, verse 46:5 offers great hope! “God is in the midst of her: she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.” Never late. Always on time. God, here, is giving Himself as the Help that humanity needs during a season of judgment. God is always ready to step in and help a humble humanity. But don’t wait for distress to call on God. Call on Him now. Thank Him for the gift of eternal life, provided by the sa

In the prophecy trilogy of Psalm 46,47,48, verse 4 of the first chapter gives a glimmer of hope in a terrifying season. “There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.” Did you know that God offers Himself as a Resource of refreshing? During judgment, during famine, during pestilence, God is the Refuge, the Refreshing, and the Remedy. He IS what we need during any time of turbulence. Ge

Psalm 46:1-3 “ God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.” Psalm 46-48 is a prophecy trilogy, adding insight to the end times as described in Revelation. Verse 2-3 here appear to be sharing of a season where the ea

Have you ever read that Psalms 46,47,48 are a prophecy trilogy? Psalm 46 is all about the chaos of a season of turmoil and judgment until God steps in at verse 10 to decree peace. The psalm begins, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear…” (Ps 46:1,2a) During this season, many are fearing the birthing pangs of the end times and tribulation period. Fears concerning wars and rumors of wars, pestilences, intrigue

After sharing of the gaining of the kingdom as the obtaining of a valuable treasure, Jesus questioned, “Have you understood all these things?” His disciples answered in the affirmative. But do we understand? Jesus repetitively shares the worth of the coming Kingdom. He even encourages us to regularly pray, “Your Kingdom come,” to our Heavenly Father. So, the summary question: are we as invested in the gaining of the Kingdom? Do we know its value? Do we prioriti

Jesus shares further, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.” (Matthew 13:45,46) Like on a mission, this merchant was intentionally seeking a treasure, a valuable pearl. Once he had discovered that once-in-a-lifetime gemstone, he knew it was worth any sacrifice to obtain it. Are we as diligent as this merchant? Are we faithfu

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hidden in a field; the which when a man has found, he hides, and for the joy of it goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” (Matthew 13:44) Some possessions are so valuable that any sacrifice is worth the gaining of them. The Kingdom is one such possession. Like stumbling upon a hidden, valuable treasure, the gaining of the Kingdom is worth the risk of investing in it. As we ponder this coming real

After a season of judgment, Jesus makes His followers an incredible promise, “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father.” (Matthew 13:43) After all is complete, every evil judged, every wrong made right…things in this universe will change forever. Those declared-right humans, made clean by the sacrifice of Jesus, will be trophies of God’s grace in His kingdom. So, in essence, the Kingdom of God, heaven on earth, is our goal.

Wisdom further claims: “I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment.” (Proverbs 8:20) Wisdom never, NEVER, steers us wrong. By placing the navigation of our lives into the capable hands of our Pilot, Wisdom, we can trust that our life’s journey will have a better chance of success. Both the gift of righteousness and the guide of judgment (or discernment) come as perks of pursuing and prioritizing Wisdom. Let make her number One.

Wisdom goes on to promote her other amazing qualities. Wisdom: “Counsel is mine and sound wisdom: I am understanding: I have strength. (Proverbs 8:14) Did you know that any piece of great advice is the property of Wisdom. She’s the true owner of solid tips and tricks for living life well. Through Wisdom, we can live, move, and have our being in this tricky, sin-cursed world. Wisdom is actually the strategy or method of navigating the complexities of this earthl

Proverbs 8:12, has a personified Wisdom making a bold declaration: “I wisdom dwell with prudence and find out knowledge of witty inventions.” “Inventions” in Scripture is often like tricks or schemes, being subtle in our methods of finding out knowledge. But as friends of Wisdom, we don’t need to rely on our own craftiness to complete this quest. Wisdom offers her services. Wisdom obtains the truth, digs deep into those rabbit holes, exposes reality. So, let us

“Know God + Strong = Do exploits” is the formula for end-times believers to prepare to be resilient to combat the strategies of the evil one. On our own? We are weak. Incapable. But by knowing God and absorbing His strength, we can risk adventurous quests for the Kingdom. So, let us be serious about our own role in this end-of-age opportunity to be overcomers with the power of our King, Jesus Christ. We don’t need to take the onslaught laying down, lazy, or unp

“-but the people that do know their God shall be strong” in Daniel 11:32 shows the fortitude that results from knowing God so well. Because God is omnipotent, all-powerful, knowing Him gives His followers an advantage of borrowing His strength. And this strength has a purpose. In an era where deception is clothed in flatteries, believers will need the strength and discernment of God to assist them in overcoming the enemy, the god of this world. If we are ready
