RRB notes: Psalm 123

Psalms 123 KJV

A Song of degrees.

1. Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. [a]

[a] See notes on Psa. 121:1, 125:2.

2. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, [b] until that he have mercy upon us.

[b] See notes on 1 Chron. 29:10-11; Psa. 33:20.

3. Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4. Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

Note on Psa. 121:1 KJV

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. [1]

[1] Another reference to the Second Advent of Jesus Christ. “The hills” are Mt. Sinai (Judg. 5:5), Mt. Paran (Deut. 33:2), Mt. Olivet (Zech. 14:4), and Mt. Zion (Psa. 2:6). In an effort to rid the text of this advanced revelation, the apostate Fundamentalists and corrupt Bible revisers make a question out of the verse with a negative answer, or like the NIV, they disconnect the two clauses to make you think they have nothing to do with one another.

Note on Psa. 125:2 KJV

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, [1] so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

[1] Notice how the Scriptures always interpret themselves and are able to correct all the scholars (see note on Psa. 121:1). The “eyes” that are uplifted “unto the hills” (Psa. 121:1) are also uplifted unto Heaven (Psa. 123:1). That is because when the Jews are looking for help in the Tribulation, it will come from Heaven (Rev. 19:11) to the “mountains . . . about Jerusalem” (Zech. 14:4; Acts 1:11-12; Rom. 11:26).

Notes on 1 Chronicles 29:10-11 KJV

10. ¶ Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, [1] for ever and ever.

[1] This verse settles, once and for all, finally and forever, the matter of “national sonship” versus “individual New Birth sonship” (Exod. 4:22; Matt. 6:9, 14, 18). Jesus never called God “Our Father” a time in His life, and David never called God “his Father” a time in his life. The “father” of verse 10 is the father of a nation, who gave that nation birth (Deut. 32:18).

11. Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, [2] and thou art exalted as head above all.

[2] Now you know the source of the “ending” of “The Lord’s Prayer” (Matt. 6:13). It came from here, showing you that “our father” (vs. 10) has no business in the prayers of a born again child of God. That’s why the Roman Catholic made it a “Christian” prayer and called it “The Lord’s Prayer,” when it wasn’t. It was the “Disciple’s Prayer.” When a disciple prays it, Jesus puts the addition from 1 Chronicles 29:11 onto Matthew 6:13 to show you that the entire passage is Jewish for the Jews. No Catholic owned any part of it. No Roman Catholic has any part in “the kingdom” at any time, any place, anywhere, under any condition. It also explains why the new “Bibles” removed the ending on Matthew 6:13 from the prayer. They all lined up with the Roman Catholic Church and tried to make it a Gentile prayer to a Christian, when it wasn’t.

Note on Psa. 33:20 KJV

Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. [3]

[3] Notice, again (Psa. 25:22, 28:9), how the Psalm ends with reference to the entire nation of Israel (“them” in vss. 18-19, “our” in vss. 20-21, and “we” in vss. 21-22).

RRB notes: Psalm 122

Psalms 122 KJV

A Song of degrees of David.

1. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. [1]

[1] Most Baptist pastors join this verse to Psalm 118:24 to get you into a church building on Sunday. This is what we call Satanic Bible teaching. “The house of the LORD” is in Jerusalem (vss. 2-3, 6), and no Christian since A.D. 70 stood in the gates of Jerusalem while the twelve tribes appeared before the Lord three times a year (vs. 4 cf. Deut. 16:16). The verse is a prophecy about what will happen in the MIllennium (Zech. 14:16).

2. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3. Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: [a]

[a] Vss. 1-5 are a reference to the Millennium (see notes on vss. 1 and 5).

4. Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

5. For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. [2]

[2] In the Millennial Kingdom (see App. 110), there will not just be “the throne of David” (singular) in Jerusalem; there will be “thrones” (plural). The Scriptures tell you how many “thrones” there will be and who is going to sit on them (Psa. 149:5-9; Matt. 19:28; Rev. 2:26-27, 3:21, 20:4).

6. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: [3] they shall prosper that love thee.

[3] This is a commandment like Matthew 28:19 or Ephesians 6:1. The reason for it is that no peace can come to this earth until it comes to Jerusalem (Psa. 76:3; Mic. 4:2-3; Hag. 2:9).

7. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

8. For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9. Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

RRB notes: Psalm 121

Psalms 121 KJV

A Song of degrees.

1. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. [1]

2. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

3. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. [a]

[a] Second Advent (Rev. 7:14-16).

7. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in [b] from this time forth, and even for evermore.

[b] Deut. 28:6.

RB notes: Psalm 120

Psalms 120 KJV

A Song of degrees.

1. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

2. Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. [a]

[a] Vss. 1-3 are the prayer of a Jew for deliverance from the Antichrist (Rev. 13:4-5) during the Tribulation.

3. What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? [b]

[b] Prov. 26:18-19, 21, 23-26.

4. Sharp arrows of the mighty, [c] with coals of juniper.

[c] Psa. 18:8-14.

5. Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! [1]

[1] “Meshech” was a son of Japeth (Gen. 10:2); it is a reference to Russia (Ezek. 38:2). The Jews have been trying to get out of that country since 1905. “Kedar” was a son of Ishmael (Gen. 25:13). Their ancestral homeland was Saudi Arabia (Neh. 6:1; Isa. 21:16-17; Jer. 49:28). It is a prophetic reference to Arabian Moslems dwelling in a land where they don’t belong (Gen. 21:10, 25:6). The verse is a reference to Israel living among her enemies in the 20th and 21st Centuries.

6. My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. [2]

[2] The individual that hates peace is the Antichrist. Note that he is referred to in the plural in verse 5 (see note on Job 24:18), indicating that the Antichrist is connected with the Arabians and Islam (Mary [Rev. 17] and Mohammed).

7. I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. [d]

[d] Cf. Psa. 28:3; note on vs. 5.

Note on Job 24:18 KJV

He [4] is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.

[4] The “he” is a reference to “the shadow of death” in verse 17, and the singular is a plural (Job 17:4-5 cf. Job 16:9-10).

RRB notes: Psalm 119

Psalms 119:1-176 KJV

ALEPH

1. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. [1]

[1] The next 176 verses are divided off into increments of eight verses in each section. The Hebrew alphabet marks the beginning of each section. It is the longest chapter in the Bible and deals with the Bible itself. Here, the Holy Scriptures are called “the word” 39 times. Other Hebrew words in the psalm deal with “words” for they deal with “the law” (תּוֹרָה), the “testimonies” (עֵדְוֹת), the “the statutes” (חֻקִּים), the “judgments” (מִשְׁפָּטִים), and the “precepts” (פִּקּוּדִים).

2. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

3. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

100. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. [4]

[4] Any man who believes and follows the Book will gain wisdom and understanding which cannot be found in the “scriptures” of other religions or the ancient “wisdom literature” of the East.

152. Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

RESH

If all you had was the word of God (Sola Scriptura), you would have every answer to every problem of life. Roman Catholicism contributes nothing.

[e] Vss. 15-16 are Second Advent references (see note on Ezra 7:28).

16. The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

17. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

18. The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

19. Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:

20. This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

21. I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.

22. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. [2]

[2] The verse is quoted five times in the New Testament (Matt. 21:42; Mark 12:10; Luke 20:17; Acts 4:11; 1 Pet. 2:7); that’s more attention than is given to the Virgin Birth or Ascension of Christ. Notice that both Advents appear together in this verse. “The stone” is the crushing stone of Daniel 2:34, which takes place at the Second Advent. Yet at the First Advent, that stone is a “stumbling stone” for the nation of Israel (Isa. 8:13-14; Matt. 21:44; Rom. 9:32-33).

23. This is the LORD’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

24. This is the day which the LORD hath made; [3] we will rejoice and be glad in it.

[3] Most pastors have gotten rid of the Second Coming of Christ here and in Revelation 1:10 by making the “day” of both passages Sunday. The “day” is the greatest day on God’s calendar, for it is the “day” when His Son gets what rightfully belongs to Him (vs. 22). It has nothing to do with Sunday or any other day of the week.

25. Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

26. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: [f] we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

[f] The key to the Second Advent according to Jesus Christ (Matt. 23:39).

27. God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. [g]

[g] Millennial Temple (Ezek. 43:21-25, 45:15-25, 46:15; Col. 2:16-17; Matt. 5:23-24).

28. Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

29. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Note on Ezra 7:28 KJV

And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God [6] was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.

[6] Notice the expression, “the hand of . . . God,” used here as it is found again in Ezra 8:18, 22. The “right hand of God” is used many times in the Bible to represent Jesus Christ Himself (Psa. 17:7, 20:6, 21:8, 45:4, 48:10, 108:6, 110:5, 138:7, etc.).

1. O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. [1]

[1] The United Nations will one day thank the Lord for restoring Israel (vs. 2). They will do that after having passed 450 resolutions against Israel: that’s 450 out of a total of 700 – over half the resolutions ever passed by the UN since 1945.

2. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

Proverbs Chapter 31

Proverbs 31 KJV

1. The words of king Lemuel, [a] the prophecy that his mother taught him.

[a] “Lemuel” (לְמוּאֵל), meaning “devoted to God.”

2. What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?

3. Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. [1] [b]

[1] “Lemuel” is Solomon, although Solomon violated the instructions of this mother (vs. 1) as given in verses 3-4 (1 Kings 11:1-3; Eccl. 2:3).

[b] 1 Kings 11:1-11; Neh. 13:26.

4. It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:

5. Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.

6. Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, [c] and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

[c] Matt. 27:34.

7. Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

8. Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. [d]

[d] Prov. 24:11-12 (see note on Prov. 24:10).

9. Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

10. ¶ Who can find a virtuous woman? [2] for her price is far above rubies. [e]

[2] There are twelve kinds of women in Proverbs: “a fair woman” (Prov. 11:22), “a gracious woman” (Prov. 11:16), “a whorish woman” (Prov. 6:26), “an odious woman” (Prov. 30:23), “an adulterous woman” (Prov. 30:20), “a brawling woman” (Prov. 21:9), a “strange woman” (Prov. 2:16), an “evil woman” (Prov. 6:24), “a contentious and an angry woman” (Prov. 21:19), “a foolish woman” (Prov. 9:13), a “wise woman” (Prov. 14:1), and the “virtuous woman” (Prov. 12:4).

[e] Job 28:18.

11. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

12. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

13. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

14. She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

15. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

16. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

17. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

18. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

19. She layeth her hands to the spindle, [f] and her hands hold the distaff.

[f] A tool to twist plant fibers into thread.

20. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

21. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

22. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

23. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

24. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

25. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

26. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

27. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

28. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

29. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

30. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. [3]

[3] For a full study of verses 10-30, get the following sermons from the Bible Baptist Bookstore: “The Great Woman,” “The Parting of the Ways,” “God’s Woman,” “Mary, the Mother of Jesus,” “Rizpah on the Rocks,” “The Motherhood of God,” and “Motherhood in the Bible.”

31. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Note on Prov. 24:10 KJV

10. If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.* 11. If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; 12. If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

* Verses 10-12 deal with one of the most serious problems in the Body of Christ in America since 1933: the absolute refusal of American Christians to witness and tell unsaved adults they’re going to Hell when they die, although they know they will. They were commanded to witness (Prov. 31:8; Acts 1:8), and to warn people that they could die in their sins and wind up in the Lake of Fire (Ezek. 18:20-24; Acts 20:26-27). Ninety-five percent of them will not do it, and about 85% of the preachers will not do it. They do not want to risk being ridiculed or losing their social status or “image” among their friends and neighbors.

RRB notes: Psalm 116

Psalms 116 KJV

1. I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

2. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

3. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

4. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

5. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

6. The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

7. Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

8. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. [1]

[1] A perfect verse for illustrating that the spiritual, devotional application of verses 1-12 (applicable to anyone) has nothing to do with the doctrinal application of verses 13-19 to the Second Advent and Millennium. The man whose “soul” has been “delivered . . . from death” does not need to “take the cup of salvation” (vs. 13); he has already taken it and “tasted” it (1 Pet. 2:3). The word “salvation” has been added to 1 Peter 2:2 by 225 corrupt versions to make you think your salvation wasn’t complete when you got saved. First Peter 1:8-10 of the same epistle said that your soul was completely saved the moment you trusted Christ (1 Pet. 1:2-4).

9. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

10. I believed, therefore have I spoken: [a] I was greatly afflicted:

[a] Acts 27:25; 2 Cor. 4:13.

11. I said in my haste, All men are liars.

12. What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

13. I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

14. I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. [b]

[b] Vs. 18.

15. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. [2]

[2] The “saints” are not Church Age saints. Historically, they are Old Testament Jewish saints (Dan. 7:27); prophetically they are the Jewish saints martyred in the Tribulation (Rev. 6:9-11, 14:12-13), where “salvation” is a combination of faith and works just as it was in the Old Testament (Rev. 12:17, 14:12, 22:14).

16. O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

17. I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

18. I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

19. In the courts [3] of the LORD’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

[3] These “courts” are not part of any church building, nor are they part of the Temple in the book of Ezra as the commentators pretend. These “courts” are in the Millennial Temple of Ezekiel 40-46 (see note on Psa. 84:1).

>>>>>>> Additional Notes <<<<<<<

Note on Psa. 84:1 KJV

How amiable are thy tabernacles, [1] O LORD of hosts!

[1] The word “tabernacles” is used because God’s dwelling place had been one Tabernacle in the wilderness, then one sanctuary under Solomon, another Temple under Herod, and then in the Millennium, it will be a rebuilt Temple (Ezek. 40-46) containing “courts” (plural; vs. 10 cf. Ezek. 40:19-20) and “altars” (plural; vs. 3 cf. Ezek. 40:39-42, 41:22, 43:19-27).

Proverbs Chapter 30

Proverbs 30 KJV

1. The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,

2. Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.

3. I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.

4. Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? [a] who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, [b] and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?

[a] A reference to Jesus Christ (Eph. 4:7-10).

[b] Judg. 13:17-18; Gen. 32:29-30).

5. Every word of God is pure: [1] he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. [2]

[1] Notice the phrase “word of God” used immediately after the question “what is his son’s name” (vs. 4). It’s the title of Jesus Christ (Rev. 19:13; 1 John 5:7; John 1:1, 14).

[2] “Every word” that God put out is “pure” (here), “true” (Psa. 119:160), “tried” (2 Sam. 22:31), alive (Heb. 4:12), preserved eternally (Psa. 12:7), and “a shield” (here) to those that believe it.

6. Add thou not unto his words, [3] lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

[3] Cf. Psalm 12:6-7. The term “word of God” (small “w,” vs. 5) is interpreted by the Holy Spirit here to mean a collection of “words” (plural) that have been written (Deut. 4:36, 5:22; Prov. 22:21; Jer. 23:22; John 3:34, 5:47, 8:47, 14:23, 17:8; Rom. 10:18; Rev. 22:19). Only one “church” kept his word (Rev. 3:8), and it wasn’t the first church (Ephesus) — the early church.

7. Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:

8. Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

9. Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. [c]

[c] The idea is he’ll have to lie, under oath, in order to avoid being convicted for stealing (Prov. 6:30-31).

10. Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, [d] and thou be found guilty.

[d] Eccl. 7:21.

11. There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

12. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. [4]

[4] A reference to the population of the earth during the Tribulation (2 Tim. 3:1-5). Since those days are likened to “the days of Lot” (Luke 17:28), the verse is also a perfect description of the militant sex perverts (see note on Prov. 28:1).

13. There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.

14. There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men. [e]

[e] Literal cannibalism during the Tribulation (see notes on Neh. 11:1; Isa. 6:13).

15. The horseleach [f] hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:

[f] “Horseleach,” a bloodsucker (Rev. 17:6; Psa. 16:4).

16. The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough. [g]

[g] All four items demand more all the time (Eccl. 6:7).

17. The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. [h]

[h] Second Advent (Rev. 19:17-21; Job 39:26-30).

18. There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:

19. The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.

20. Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness. [i]

[i] “Babylon the great” (Rev. 14:8, 17:1-6, 18:2-3, 2:20-22).

21. For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:

22. For a servant when he reigneth; [j] and a fool when he is filled with meat;

[j] Like Jeroboam (1 Kings 11:26, 12:26-33).

23. For an odious woman when she is married; [k] and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress. [l]

[k] Like Jezebel (1 Kings 16:31, 19:1-2, 21:7-14).

[l] Like Hagar (Gen. 16:1-15).

24. There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:

25. The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;

26. The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;

27. The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; [m]

[m] Tribulation (Rev. 9:1-11).

28. The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.

29. There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:

30. A lion [n] which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;

[n] 1 Pet. 5:8; Rev. 13:1-2.

31. A greyhound; an he goat also; [o] and a king, [p] against whom there is no rising up.

[o] The Antichrist (Dan. 8:8-11).

[p] The Antichrist (Dan. 11:18-39).

32. If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.

33. Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

Note on Prov. 28:1 KJV

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. [1]

[1] Paul’s prayer for himself (Eph. 6:18-19) and a description of the apostles’ conduct (Acts 4:13). Most Christians in America are “chicken livered” — yellow (see note on Prov. 24:10). As “the days of Lot” come upon us (Luke 17:28), the sodomites now have some control over police forces, legislation, Senators, Mayors, and Governors. If the “righteous” aren’t as “bold” as they are, faggots and butches will eventually take over the government; they did in Greece. God buried Greece, and it has never been a fifth-rate world power since A.D. 400.

Psalms 115 KJV

1. Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, [1] but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

[1] Verses 1-8 are aimed doctrinally at Gentiles in the Tribulation (Isa. 42:8, 44:9-20, 45:16-18, 46:5-10; Acts 19:24, 35; Rev. 13:14-18).

2. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

3. But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

4. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

5. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:

6. They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:

7. They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

8. They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

9. O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. [a]

[a] See note on Psa. 106:4-5.

10. O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

11. Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

12. The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

13. He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

14. The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

15. Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

16. The heaven, even the heavens, [2] are the LORD’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

[2] Mohammed, in his blind stupidity, said there were seven heavens. The Bible gives you three (2 Cor. 12:2). That means that the “waters . . . above the heavens” (note the plural) are beyond the solar system which is the second heaven (Gen. 1:6-8). They have nothing to do with “clouds,” “vapors,” or an “ice canopy” as taught by every scholar who messed with the King James text.

17. The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

18. But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. [b] Praise the LORD.

[b] Psa. 113:2.

Note on Psa. 106:4-5

4. Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

5. That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance. [2]

[2] This is a Gentile who wants to “get in on the goodies” when the “King of the Jews” shows up. He’s mentioned back in Deuteronomy 32:43 and is included with the Levitical priesthood of Israel (Psa. 115:9-11, 118:2-4, 19-20). Having missed all the references to the Second Advent in this matter, the blind, apostate scholars missed the fact that whenever Paul spoke to a synagogue, he always addressed the Gentiles there as part of the group. Note the difference between Stephen’s address (Acts 7:2) and Paul’s address (Acts 13:16).

Proverbs Chapter 29

Proverbs 29 KJV

1. He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. [a]

[a] Pharaoh (Exod. 7:3, 10:1-2, 14:8, 23-28).

2. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

3. Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance. [b]

[b] Like the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:12-13, 30).

4. The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

5. A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

6. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

7. The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

8. Scornful men bring a city into a snare: [c] but wise men turn away wrath.

[c] Like Sheba the son of Bichri (2 Sam. 20:1-22).

9. If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

10. The bloodthirsty hate the upright: [d] but the just seek his soul.

[d] John 15:18-23.

11. A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

12. If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. [e]

[e] E.g., Rehoboam (2 Chron. 10:6-11).

13. The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.

14. The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. [f]

[f] Millennium (Rev. 20:4).

15. The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. [g]

[g] Prov. 20:11, 19:18, 22:15.

16. When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

17. Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.

18. Where there is no vision, [1] the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

[1] A Christian must maintain three visions: the vision of the risen Christ (Acts 9:3-10), New Jerusalem (Rev. 21-22), and the “harvest fields” (Matt. 9:37-38). A Christian that loses “the vision” of unsaved people in Hell (Matt. 13:49-50; Luke 16:22-31; Rev. 14:9-11, 20:11-15) is absolutely good for nothing (see note on Prov. 24:10).

A false vision is worse than no vision at all (1 Kings 22:6-12; Jer. 29:23; Ezek. 13:6-7). What the world calls “a vision” is depravity degenerated to annihilation. All unsaved prophets have the same “prophetic vision”: (1) Get everybody together, (2) Level all religions, classes, sexes, and races, (3) Have everybody share equally, (4) Eliminate war and capital punishment, and (5) Populate outer space.

19. A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.

20. Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

21. He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

22. An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. [h]

[h] See note on Prov. 22:24.

23. A man’s pride shall bring him low: [i] but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

[i] E.g., Haman (Esth. 6-7), Simon Peter (Matt. 26:33-35), Michal (2 Sam. 6:16, 23).

24. Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

25. The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

26. Many seek the ruler’s favour; but every man’s judgment cometh from the LORD.

Note on Prov. 24:10 KJV

If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. [1]

[1] Verses 10-12 deal with one of the most serious problems in the Body of Christ in America since 1933: the absolute refusal of American Christians to witness and tell unsaved adults they’re going to Hell when they die, although they know they will. They were commanded to witness (Prov. 31:8; Acts 1:8), and to warn people that they could die in their sins and wind up in the Lake of Fire (Ezek. 18:20-24; Acts 20:26-27). Ninety-five percent of them will not do it, and about 85% of the preachers will not do it. They do not want to risk being ridiculed or losing their social status or “image” among their friends and neighbors.

Note on Prov. 22:24 KJV

Make no friendship with an angry man; [2] and with a furious man thou shalt not go:

[2] Back in the 1960’s and 70’s, John R. Rice wrote a number of letters to people to advise them not to read any of my material because I was an “angry man.” They were to have no “friendship” with me. That would eliminate Jesus Christ (Matt. 23:13-33; Mark 3:5; John 2:14-16), Martin Luther, Billy Sunday, Mordecai Ham, Sam Jones, Bob Jones Sr., and four dozen other soulwinning, Bible-believing evangelists.

Note on Prov. 4:18 KJV

But the path of the just is as the shining light, [2] that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

[2] Verses 14-19 are a good sample of the many “polarities” found in Proverbs. The Buddhist “oneness doctrine” of Yin and Yang is alien to both Testaments. In the Bible, it is either black or white, Heaven or Hell, God or the Devil. There is no integration, compromise, “concords,” or agreements with the world’s seven great paths to Hell: Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Protestantism, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. Other examples of “polarity” in Proverbs can be found in Proverbs 9:8, 10:2-9, 14-18, 28, 30-32, 11:1-6, 17.

RRB notes: Psalm 114

Psalms 114 KJV

1. When Israel went out of Egypt, [a] the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

[a] Exod. 12:40-41.

2. Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

3. The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. [1]

[1] Applied historically to the crossing of the Red Sea (Exod. 14:21) and the Jordan (Josh. 3:15-17), and the events that happened to Israel in the wilderness (vs. 8). But right in between those two “past tense” verses (vss. 3-8) are prophecies on the Second Advent that did not take place, and will not take place until after the year 2008 (the present year).

4. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

5. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

6. Ye mountains, [c] that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

[c] Hab. 3:3-5, 10, 13.

7. Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; [d]

[d] The commentators try to make this prophetic passage (vss. 6-7) apply to Exodus (see note on Deut. 33:2).

8. Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

Note on Deuteronomy 33:2 KJV

And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: [c] from his right hand went a fiery law for them. [1]

[c] Path of the Second Advent — Judg. 5:4; Hab. 3:3.

[1] All apostate Fundamentalists, Conservatives, and Evangelicals apply verses 2-3, doctrinally, to the events recorded in Exodus and Numbers. They are 100% in error. Both references are references to the Second Advent.

Back in Exodus and Numbers, God certainly did not rise up from Mount Seir at all. Mount Seir is in Edom where “Teman” and “Paran” are (Hab. 3:3). God certainly did not go out of Seir when He marched “out of the field of Edom” (Judg. 5:4). He did not go anywhere in Edom or out of it in Exodus or Numbers. He went around it (Num. 20:14-21). No “saints” came with the Lord at all when God came from Sinai (Exod. 20), let alone 10,000; they certainly did not sit “down at [His] feet” (vs. 3); and they were told to get away from the mountain or they would get shot (Heb. 12:20-21).

This shows you the length to which Conservatives, Evangelicals, and Fundamentalists will go to get rid of anything in the Bible they do not understand. They would reject all the verses if they felt like it (see notes under Matt. 4:4, 4:15, 16:18, 17:18; John 2:21, 21:22; etc.).

Watch these Bible-correctors when you ask them to show you where the big rain was (Judg. 5:4) when God “rose up from Seir” and came “from mount Paran.” And Sinai no more “melted . . . before the LORD” (Judg. 5:5) than Mount Paran or Mount Seir did. They are all Second Advent references.

Proverbs Chapter 28

Proverbs 28 KJV

1. The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. [1]

2. For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: [2] but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

[2] The verse explains what’s happened in America. Once bureaucrats make up a seventh of any population, their job is to stay in office and make the population support them. That is what happened in Nazi Germany, Communist Cuba, Communist Russia, Communist Vietnam, Socialist Mexico, and Communist China. For a detailed discussion of this verse, refer to The Damnation of a Nation (1991) and Discrimination: The Key to Sanity (1994), published by the Bible Baptist Bookstore.

3. A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

4. They that forsake the law praise the wicked: [a] but such as keep the law contend with them.

[a] E.g., the Supreme Court and the ACLU. They took “the law” out of the schools (see App. 94).

5. Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things. [b]

[b] 1 Cor. 2:15.

6. Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

7. Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

8. He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

9. He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, [c] even his prayer shall be abomination.

[c] See note on vs. 4.

10. Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.

11. The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

12. When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.

13. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. [d]

[d] Memorize (1 John 1:9).

14. Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. [e]

[e] See note on Prov. 21:29.

15. As a roaring lion, [f] and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. [g]

[f] 1 Pet. 5:8.

[g] The Antichrist (Psa. 10:2-9, 12:5, 35:10, 37:14, 109:16).

16. The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

17. A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; [h] let no man stay him.

[h] Prov. 1:11-18.

18. Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

19. He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

20. A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. [i]

[i] Prov. 1:16-19, 20:21.

21. To have respect of persons is not good: [j] for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

[j] James 2:1-9.

22. He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.

23. He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. [k]

[k] Like John the Baptist (Mark 6:17-20 cf. Matt. 11:2-11).

24. Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer. [l]

[l] Mark 7:10-13.

25. He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

26. He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

27. He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

28. When the wicked rise, [m] men hide themselves: [n] but when they perish, the righteous increase.

[m] See note on vs. 15.

[n] The post-Tribulation rapture.

Proverbs Chapter 27

Proverbs 27 KJV

1. Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. [1] [a]

[1] For a good example, hear Captain E.J. Smith, the Captain of the Titanic (in the New York Times on April 16, 1912): “I cannot imagine any condition which would cause this ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern ship building has gone beyond that.”

[a] Memorize (James 4:14-16).

2. Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

3. A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool’s wrath is heavier than them both.

4. Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? [2] [b]

[2] This is the “original sin” which had nothing to do with Adam or Eve. It had to do with Isaiah 14:12-16 (where the NIV covered up for Satan and gave the Devil Jesus Christ’s title, “the . . . morning star,” Rev. 22:16). It’s “envy” that causes the Antichrist to get people to call him “Holy Father” when he sits down “in the temple” at Jerusalem in order to get “worship” (2 Thess. 2:3-4).

[b] Psa. 106:16; Gen. 30:1; Acts 7:9; Job 5:2; Prov. 14:30; Matt. 27:18.

5. Open rebuke is better than secret love.

6. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; [c] but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. [d]

[c] E.g., Christ and Peter (Matt. 16:23).

[d] E.g., Judas and Christ (Matt. 26:48-50).

7. The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; [e] but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. [3]

[e] Prov. 25:16, 27, 24:13.

[3] The verse is comparing a man who has all he wants in this life, having no use for the words of God (Psa. 119:103), and a man hungering and thirsting for the words of God so much that he’ll even take them when they are bitter (Matt. 5:6).

8. As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.

9. Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.

10. Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

11. My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

12. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished. [f]

[f] Historically Noah (see note on Prov. 22:3); spiritually a Christian (Col. 3:3); prophetically the post-Tribulation rapture (Isa. 26:19-20).

13. Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

14. He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

15. A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. [g]

[g] Prov. 19:3, 22:10, 13:10.

16. Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.

17. Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

18. Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

19. As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

20. Hell and destruction are never full; [h] so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

[h] Cf. Prov. 30:16 and 15:11.

21. As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.

22. Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

23. Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.

24. For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?

25. The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.

26. The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.

27. And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

Proverbs Chapter 26

Proverbs 26 KJV

1. As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.

2. As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come. [1]

[1] Not one of the 126 “anathema” pronounced by the Roman Catholic Church in the Council of Trent will come to pass on anyone who has been regenerated by the Holy Spirit, because “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law” (Gal. 3:13).

3. A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.

4. Answer not a fool according to his folly, [2] lest thou also be like unto him.

[2] Note the direct contradiction with verse 5. The verse can only be explained by doing personal work (which excludes most Hyperdispensationalists and Bible scholars).

5. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

6. He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage. [a]

[a] Like Ben-hadad (1 Kings 20:10-20).

7. The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. [b]

[b] As illustrated by the way the Scholars’ Union handles the parables of Matt. 13.

8. As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool.

9. As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

10. The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.

11. As a dog returneth to his vomit, [c] so a fool returneth to his folly.

[c] 2 Pet. 2:22.

12. Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? [d] there is more hope of a fool than of him.

[d] Rom. 11:25.

13. The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.

14. As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.

15. The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.

16. The sluggard [e] is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.

[e] Prov. 6:6, 10:26, 13:4, 20:4 cf. Prov. 15:19, 19:24, 21:25, 24:30, 26:13).

17. He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

18. As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,

19. So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?

20. Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. [f]

[f] James 3:5-6.

21. As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. [g]

[g] Vss. 21-28 apply prophetically to the Antichrist (Dan. 11:21) and inspirationally to any bad-mouthing gossip (1 Tim. 5:13; 2 Thess. 3:11; 1 Pet. 4:15).

22. The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

23. Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.

24. He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

25. When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.

26. Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.

27. Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.

28. A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

Proverbs Chapter 25

Proverbs 25 KJV

1. These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.

2. It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: [a] but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

[a] Deut. 29:29.

3. The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, [b] and the heart of kings is unsearchable.

[b] See comments on Eph. 3:17-18.

4. Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.

5. Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness. [c]

[c] HIstorically Solomon (1 Kings 2:44-45); prophetically Christ at the Second Advent (Luke 19:27).

6. Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:

7. For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. [d]

[d] Luke 14:8-11.

8. Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.

9. Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:

10. Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.

11. A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

12. As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

13. As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.

14. Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.

15. By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

16. Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, [e] lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it. [1]

[e] Prov. 24:13.

[1] This warning deals with the “words of God” (Psa. 119:103). In the New Testament, this same warning is given regarding “strange doctrines” likened to “meats” (Heb. 13:9). After being told that you should be acquainted with “strong meat” after you’ve been saved for a while (Heb. 5:12, 14), you are told not to be occupied with them. You’re liable to puke. By ignoring these verses, the Hyperdispensationalists got bogged down in an unbalanced ministry that minimized (or ignored) soulwinning.

17. Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.

18. A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

19. Confidence in an unfaithful man [f] in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

[f] E.g., Ziba (2 Sam. 19:26-29).

20. As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.

21. If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

22. For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, [g] and the LORD shall reward thee.

[g] See note on Psa. 140:10.

23. The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

24. It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house. [h]

[h] Prov. 21:9, 19.

25. As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news [2] from a far country. [i]

[2] A great picture of “the Gospel,” because the word means “good news.” The “good news” is not that if you “find the Church that Christ founded” and “repent, confess, believe, be baptized,” and take the sacraments, and die in a “state of grace,” you might get into Heaven. It’s not if you sit cross-legged for a number of hours and meditate “out of the frame” and contact the “infinite presence,” you might make it and get rid of your “Karma.” It is certainly not that if you have four wives, kill everybody that doesn’t believe your religion, observe the feast of Ramadan, and take a trip to Mecca (and don’t eat any pork or drink any liquor), you “might make it.” All three of those godless, lying, depraved counterfeits for “The Gospel” have nothing to do with the “good news.” The “good news” is like “cold water” because Jesus Christ said you need the “water of life” (Rev. 21:6), and if a man believes on Him, “out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38).

[i] Vs. 13.

26. A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.

27. It is not good to eat much honey: [j] so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

[j] See note on vs. 16.

28. He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

Comments on Eph. 3:17-18 KJV

17. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18. May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; [3] [h] 19. And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

[3] All the scholars join verses 18-19 by getting rid of the semicolon at the end of verse 18 and the conjunction “and” at the beginning of verse 19. They then spiritualize the passage and make you think that “the love of Christ” (vs. 19) is spiritually pictured as having “breadth, and length, and depth, and height” (vs. 18). They refused to cross reference the passage to Romans 8:39, where the dimensions were literal and physical. This verse deals with the structure of the universe, which has four dimensions, like a pyramid, with New Jerusalem in the North as the “capstone” (Psa. 48:1-2; Isa. 14:13-14; Heb. 12:22-23; Matt. 21:42-44).

Note on Psa. 140:10 KJV

Let burning coals fall upon them: [2] [c] let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

[2] Cf. Romans 12:20. The apostate expositors make the verse in Romans figurative; i.e., you help your enemy out by putting hot coals in a firepan he carries on his head. But as you can see from the cross-reference here in Psalms, Paul is telling you that you increase an unsaved person’s damnation in Hell by doing good to him.

Proverbs Chapter 24

Proverbs 24 KJV

1. Be not thou envious against evil men, [a] neither desire to be with them.

[a] Prov. 3:31, 14:30; Acts 7:9, 17:5.

2. For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

3. Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

4. And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

5. A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

6. For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety. [b]

[b] Prov. 11:14.

7. Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

8. He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

9. The thought of foolishness is sin: [c] and the scorner is an abomination to men.

[c] Memorize (see note on Prov. 21:4).

10. If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. [1]

11. If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;

12. If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?

13. My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: [d]

[d] Prov. 25:16, 27.

14. So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

15. Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:

16. For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

17. Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

18. Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

19. Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;

20. For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

21. My son, fear thou the LORD [e] and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

[e] Job 28:28; Isa. 50:10; Jer. 26:19; Mat. 3:16; Luke 23:40; Acts 10:35; Jon. 1:16, etc.

22. For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?

23. These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.

24. He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:

25. But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

26. Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.

27. Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.

28. Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.

29. Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

30. I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

31. And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

32. Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.

33. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

34. So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

Note on Prov. 21:4 KJV

An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. [1] [c]

[1] This verse is one of the definitions of “sin” in the Bible (see also Prov. 24:9; 1 John 3:4, 5:17). It teaches the great truth that legitimate work can be a sin if it causes a man to reject Christ or delay receiving Him (John 16:9). It violates the direct command of Jesus Christ in Matthew 6:33.

RRB notes: Psalm 112

Psalms 112 KJV

1. Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. [a]

[a] Psa. 1:1-2.

2. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [b] he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

[b] Literal as well as spiritual (Psa. 27:1, 36:9, 43:3, 44:3, 56:13, 89:15; Isa. 60:1-3).

5. A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6. Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

8. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

9. He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; [1] his horn shall be exalted with honour.

[1] The verse screws up the system of the Hyperdispensationalists, for here is an Old Testament passage, given under the Law, applied to a New Testament Christian under grace (2 Cor. 9:9). The Lord crosses dispensational lines just as He did in Matthew 15:26-28 (cf. Matt. 10:5-6). The “righteousness” of this verse is personal righteousness, not the imputed righteousness of God. It is applied to the Christian because “fine linen is the righteousness of the saints” (see notes on Rev. 19:8).

10. The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: [c] the desire of the wicked shall perish.

[c] Second Advent (Matt. 22:11-13; Rev. 19:20).

Note on Psa. 45:13 KJV

The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. [5]

[5] The “clothing” is “gold” underwear, symbolizing Deity. This is “imputed righteousness” in the New Testament. The outward clothing is “raiment of needle work” (vs. 14). It is defined as white linen, and it constitutes the personal righteousness of the person who wears it (Rev. 19:8).

Proverbs Chapter 23

Proverbs 23 KJV

1. When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: [a]

[a] Like Jonathan with Saul (1 Sam. 20:25-33).

2. And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

3. Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat. [b]

[b] Like Amnon with Absalom (2 Sam. 13:28-29).

4. Labour not to be rich: [c] cease from thine own wisdom.

[c] 1 Tim. 6:10, 17.

5. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

6. Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, [1] neither desire thou his dainty meats:

[1] Verses 6-7 are a reference to the Antichrist. He has one eye (vs. 6) like a cyclops (Zech. 11:17). He will break a covenant with the Jews which he made at a table (Psa. 55:20-21; Dan. 9:27; 11:27).

7. For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

8. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.

9. Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

10. Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: [d]

[d] See note on Prov. 22:28.

11. For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.

12. Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

13. Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

14. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

15. My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

16. Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

17. Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

18. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

19. Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.

20. Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

21. For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.

22. Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

23. Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

24. The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.

25. Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

26. My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

27. For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. [e]

[e] Prov. 2:16-19, 5:3-13, 7:6-27.

28. She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.

29. Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

30. They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

31. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, [2] when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. [f]

[2] Notice the admonition is not just to quit drinking wine; it’s to quit looking at it. If you look at it, you’ll smell it; if you smell it, you’ll taste it; if you taste it, you’ll drink it (see comments on 1 Tim. 5:23).

[f] See Eph. 5:18.

32. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

33. Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

34. Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

35. They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

_______

Note on Exodus 16:20 KJV

Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: [4] and Moses was wroth with them.

[4] For this remarkable “manna,” be sure to see Appendix 36 on the “Tithe.” The manna has to do with one of the heads on Satan. It is also connected with the origin of the “tithe” and (eventually) with the feeding of the Jews in the wilderness and cannibalism in the Tribulation (Isa. 6:13). The first time you saw the word tithe was in Genesis 14:20 in connection with Melchizedek at Jerusalem, where the cannibalism will take place.

_______

Note on Psa. 74:14 KJV

Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. [5]

[5] The reference is obviously to the “great red dragon” of Revelation 12:3 (see notes on Job 41:1, 41:31). In Ezekiel 29:3, Pharoah is given as a picture of this “dragon.” The problem is how could one of the heads of this dragon be “wounded to death” (Rev. 13:1-3) and that wound be converted into “manna” to feed a bunch of Jews in the wilderness? (See note on Exod. 16:20.) No one has ever explained the text, but in the Disney movie “Sleeping Beauty,” you’ll see a dragon being cut in the throat by a sword and bleeding “hoar frost” (Exod. 16:14; Rev. 12:14)!

_______

Note on Psalm 105:10 KJV

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: [2]

[2] The “covenant” discussed in verses 9-11 is a real-estate deal over a piece of property (see notes on Exod. 3:5 and Gen. 15:18). God Almighty made that agreement with a Bedouin sheep herder from Ur of the Chaldees (see note on Gen. 15:12). It was passed on to one son: Isaac; Ishmael was not included in that covenant. Isaac passed it on to only one of his sons: Jacob; the Jordanians from Esau have no claim to that covenant. But when Jacob passes on the covenant, he confirms it to all twelve of his sons and their families that make up the nation of Israel (Num. 23:9-10, 21:23, 23:2-9). The covenant was never given to any Arab or Moslem at all. It has nothing to do with any “spiritual Jew” (Rom. 2:29), “the Israel of God” (Gal. 6:16), Isaac as a type of Christ (Gal. 3:16), or the Christian (Gal. 4:28).

God’s final controversy with man is over the promise He made with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the twelve tribes (Isa. 60:11-12; Rev. 6:4, 8, 9:13-21, 14:14-20, 16:13-16, 19:11-21; Jer. 25:15-33; Ezek. 38-39, etc.). The United Nations has decreed that the Jews don’t get “Canaan.” The name of the land is to be changed to Palestine, and it is to be given to Mohammed and the Moslems. But the covenant God made with Israel is “an everlasting covenant”: it has no end. That ancient oath will rid the world of all 190 (+/-) nations along with all their religions and social and economic setups, and their remnants will serve Israel (Deut. 15:6; Isa. 14:2).

RRB notes: Psalm 110

Psalms 110 KJV

A Psalm of David.

1. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. [1]

[1] The verse is quoted six times in the New Testament (Matt. 22:44; Mark 12:36; Luke 20:42; Acts 2:33-35; Heb. 1:13, 10:12-13). Given this emphasis, the United Nations should be in a state of mortal terror. They will end up licking the dust (Psa. 72:9; Isa. 49:23; Rev. 2:26-27) and kissing the feet (Psa. 2:8-12) of a military dictator who rules as a “Zionist” in Jerusalem on Mount Zion (Psa. 2:6).

2. The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

3. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: [a] thou hast the dew of thy youth.

[a] Second Advent (Mal. 4:1-5; Matt. 13:43; Judg. 5:31; 2 Sam. 23:4; Exod. 19:16; Psa. 49:14; Isa. 21:12, 58:8; Hos. 6:3).

4. The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. [b]

[b] Heb. 7:11-22.

5. The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings [c] in the day of his wrath.

[c] Rev. 16:12, 17:12.

6. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; [d] he shall wound the heads over many countries. [e]

[d] Rev. 14:20, 19:17-18 cf. Psa. 79:2.

[e] Hab. 3:12-13.

7. He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. [2]

[2] Enigmatical. Nobody has ever expounded it properly yet and probably never will. Nearly all the commentators spiritualize it and give you nonsense. Old Testament types similar to it can be found in 1 Samuel 30:9-10 and Judges 7:5-6, 15:17-19. If you took it literally, Jesus would be “renewing his youth” (vs. 3), having been cut off before He was forty years old (Isa. 53:8). At the Advent, He is shown making His way back to Jerusalem, stomping on a Moslem graveyard as He rides through the Eastern Gate. He stops long enough at the Brook Kidron, crossing the brook on His white horse (Zech. 14:3-10; Jer. 31:39-40; John 18:1) to take a drink of water.
