"Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?"
This Psalm evokes the period of great distress and anguish in the life of David always one step away from King Saul. His tears are real as the names written in the book of life are gospel truth. Without a sign of what use is a book? Letters are symbols as the words are sounds. Heaven and earth are like eyelids working as one. "The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men."(Ps.11:4). So nothing escapes the eye of heaven and He shall not let the wicked go unpunished.
This explains the seven angels with the vials. "Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth." (Re.16:1) These seven angels represent the seven days stipulated in the everlasting covenant. Second point to keep in focus is that the wrath of God is directed against the earth those whose names are not found in the book of life. These men are not free agents but have made league with the three unclean spirits of the dragon, beast and the false prophet. "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:"(Matt.25:41) The nations on the left have shown by their works,- by omission and commission that they are the sons of perdition. So when one hears politicians and pastors denigrating migrants as undesirables and as vermin you know what is egging them on.
Jesus emphatically said " Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."(25:40)
Third point to keep in mind is that the nations are occupiers of any part of the earth. The land is mine and you are strangers and sojourners with me. (Le.25:23) What goes on in Gaza or south of the border must be see in this context. Where does the trail of tears go in 1830 go to? Think of it brethren, The eyelids of the Lord are not shut.
