  • Joe glascock on Psalms 23 - 13 years ago
    23:5 "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:" This is in reference to the Table lands a shepherd has to go to to feed his sheep after passing through the "valley of the shadow of death" known as the shefalah.
    These were plateaus that the shepherd in those days, would prepare for his sheep ahead of time in order to prevent them from eating poisonous weeds, and he had to do this under a time table, and by hand on his hands and knees, thus God does this for us in a spiritual manner, he brings up the pastors, priests, and bishops under His word as babes, and takes the time to prepare them train them, and instruct them, and this takes time, years, etc., and in the presence of nay sayers, and atheists etc., God prepares them in order to feed us spiritually, as David prepared the plateaus for his sheep in the presenceof wild predators, robbers, etc., so his sheep could come and dine!.
    Another comment concerning Nimrods statement, Jesus was both God and man, and it had to be this way in order for salvation to work, because you can't kill God, but the man Jesus had to die in order for the spirit(Gods son) to ascend to heaven.
    At the moment Christ became sin in our stead, God's eyes being so Holy and unable to bear looking at something as unholy as pure sin, Christ had never been so alone in his entire life, but he died for that, he conquered death and sin on the cross, and died in our stead, he is our defense atourney pleading our case before is father, who when he sees us he also sees his son, because we are as close to God as it gets, because of Christ, so every act we do is righteous, we only sin as a choice.
    Btw, God views time all at once, the past present and future are all the same to him, he sees us as already being in heaven with him, as well as being here.
    Also, When God became the man Jesus, he had never been apart from himself before, and he was the best heaven had, the spotless lamb, perfect in every way, the sacrifice that was without blemish.
    On another note, God is a triune God, a trinity, ie; the prayer "hear O Israel, the LORD thy God is one" , in the Hebrew, the word one in this sense, is actually translated as three, one triune God, God the father, God the Son(Jesus), and The Holy Spirit, they are three parts to a whole, but are still one!.
