Psalms 83 Future War

[BillCody]

O God, Do Not Keep Silence

Psalms 83:1 A Song, a Psalms of Asaph. O God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and,O God, do not be still.

Psalms 83:2 For, behold, Thine enemies make an uproar; And those who hate Thee have exalted themselves.

Psalms 83:3 They make shrewd plans against Thy people, And conspire together against Thy treasured ones.

Psalms 83:4 They have said, "Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more."

Psalms 83:5 For they have conspired together with one mind; Against Thee do they make a covenant:

Psalms 83:6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

Psalms 83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

Psalms 83:8 Assyria also has joined with them; They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah.

Psalms 83:9 Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera and Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon,

Psalms 83:10 Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became as dung for the ground.

Psalms 83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

Psalms 83:12 Who said, "Let us possess for ourselves The pastures of God."

Psalms 83:13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust; Like chaff before the wind.

Psalms 83:14 Like fire that burns the forest, And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,

Psalms 83:15 So pursue them with Thy tempest, And terrify them with Thy storm.

Psalms 83:16 Fill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Thy name, O LORD.

Psalms 83:17 Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever; And let them be humiliated and perish,

Psalms 83:18 That they may know that Thou alone, whose name is the LORD, Art the Most High over all the earth.



LIST OF THE ENEMIES

"The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek;

Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre: Assyria also is joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. (Selah)"

The peoples mentioned here are: (1) the Edomites; (2) the Ishmaelites; (3) the Moabites; (4) the Hagarenes; (5) Gebal; (6) Ammon; (7) Amalek; (8) Philistines; (9) Tyre; and (10) Assyria. All of these are well known, except Gebal and the Hagarenes.

Gebal was "An ancient Phoenician city situated on a bluff overlooking the Mediterranean sea.”

"The Hagarenes were probably Arabs, so called from Hagar, the handmaiden of Abraham, and the mother of Ishmael.”

The Psalm 83 war could be the Isaiah 17 war. It looks like a big war is brewing right now:

The Fulfilment of the prayer of Asaph:
Events now unfolding in the Middle East are rapidly bringing closer the apocalyptic scenario as predicted in more than 100 prophetic scriptures, mainly Psalms 83, Joel 3:1-3 Isaiah 2:12-21, Isaiah 17, Isaiah 66:15-16, Jeremiah 4:23-28, Ezekiel 21:1-7, Micah 4:11-12, Zephaniah 1:14-18, 2 Peter 3:7, Revelation 6:12-17

As described, the Lord Himself intervenes and destroys His enemies, triggered by a massive attack from the Islamic confederation, using the means of a seemingly natural event – a Coronal Mass Ejection that is accurately described by Isaiah 30:26, Malachi 4:1, Psalms 50:1-3

Psalms 83 begins by describing a conspiracy against Israel, by their neighbouring peoples. Their aim is total annihilation of the Jewish State of Israel, to occupy all the Land and to wipe out any remembrance of them. Although each of the tribal groups mentioned is a historic enemy of Israel and has fought against them on various occasions, there is no record that they ever joined in such an alliance. All of the modern nations who are descendants of the peoples mentioned in Psalms 83, are currently obsessed with an Islamic inspired determination to completely eliminate the Jewish State of Israel.

Psalms 81:13-15 O that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! I would soon subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their adversaries. The haters of the Lord pretend submission to Him, but their fate will endure forever.

Verse 15 tells of a people who hate God [Y’hovah] when they think in their minds that they submit to Him. The word Muslims, means submitters to their God. [Allah]

So then, when we read in Psalm 83:2 “For your enemies raise an uproar, those who hate you hold their heads high”, it is saying that the enemies mentioned, are those who believe they submit to God, but in reality are full of religious pride and are in fact haters of the true God.

Psalms 83:18 So let it be known that You, whose name is Y’hovah are alone the Most High over all the earth.
The reason that God will be so powerfully victorious in this coming attack, is to witness to all unbelievers, especially the Ishmaelite peoples, who will then recognise the true religion and Islam will be discredited.

The writer of Psalms 83, the prophet Asaph, prays that Israel’s current enemies will be just as soundly defeated as were the Midianites, etc, when their armies were scattered and their leaders executed. Judges 7:25 When this prayer is answered, Israel will be a much bigger country, comprising all the area given by God to Abraham. Ezekiel 47:13-23

There will be a terrible loss of life, as well as large numbers of refugees, who will flee from all the Mid East countries. But a holy remnant will survive in Jerusalem. After the Land is cleaned and regenerated, then all the faithful Christian believers be they descendants of Jacob, or grafted in Israelites: will be motivated to emigrate to the holy Land. There, they will be an example to the world of how all should live and 144,000 of them will go out to all peoples and proclaim the coming Kingdom of Jesus. Isaiah 66:19, Revelation 7:1-13

Revelation 7:1-8

The 144,000 of Israel Sealed

1 After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree.
2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea,
3 saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
4 And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:
5 12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed, 12,000 from the tribe of Reuben, 12,000 from the tribe of Gad,
6 12,000 from the tribe of Asher, 12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,
7 12,000 from the tribe of Simeon, 12,000 from the tribe of Levi, 12,000 from the tribe of Issachar,
8 12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000 from the tribe of Joseph, 12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed.

Psalm 83 is not a prophecy, but a witness of the events that Asaph saw and lived through in his own time. Being the same time and circumstances spoken of in Psalms 74, 80, and 89, and the Book of Lamentations. An extensive summary of these events and scriptures may be found here:

Well, keras, he who laughs last lasts best. If you read the relevant Psalms in the literal Hebrew, you would understand that most of them are written in the Perfect = past tense. Some parts in present tense, because the invasion and destruction were still going on. These were things that Asaph and Ethan witnessed, such as,

Psalm 89:38 But You have cast off and abhorred,
You have been furious with Your meshiach.

39 You have renounced the covenant of Your servant;
You have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

40 You have broken down all his hedges;
You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

41 All who pass by the way plunder him;
He is a reproach to his neighbors.

42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
You have made all his enemies rejoice.

43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword,
And have not sustained him in the battle.

44 You have made his glory cease,
And cast his throne down to the ground.

Is this End Times? If not, when did it happen?

You really don't have a clue about this era.

Most Bible Prophecy is written in past tense, because of the surety of its eventual fulfilment.
You like to throw it all into past history, but a careful reading of Psalms 83, for example; makes it clear, what is described did not happen in ancient times and has never yet happened.
Preterism simply leaves people in the dark, 1 Thess 5:4 applies to people who read and understand the Prophetic Word.

Most Bible Prophecy is written in past tense, because of the surety of its eventual fulfilment.

So back this up with multiple examples.

You like to throw it all into past history, but a careful reading of Psalms 83, for example; makes it clear, what is described did not happen in ancient times and has never yet happened.

Just the opposite: the history of this era, including the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Lamentations, show that it did.

Preterism simply leaves people in the dark, 1 Thess 5:4 applies to people who read and understand the Prophetic Word.

If you are implying that I promote Preterism, you are wildly wrong.
