Psalm 83 TLV
A song of Asaph. (A Levite in the time of David)
“GOD do not keep silent.
Do not hold Your Peace, O GOD.
Do not be still.
For look, Your enemies make an
uproar.
Those who hate You life up their
head.
They make a shrew plot against Your
People, conspiring against Your Treasured Ones.
‘Come’, they say, ‘let’s wipe them
out as a nation!
Let Israel’s name be remembered no
more!”
For with one mind they plot together.
Against You do they make a covenant.
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, Gebal, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre, even Assyria has joined them, becoming a strong arm for Lot’s sons.”
(All of the Arab nations are descendants of Abraham or his
nephew Lot: “And Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of
Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sari, his son Abram’s wife, and they went out
with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan; and they came
to Haran and dwelt there…So Abram departed as The LORD had spoken to him, and
Lot went with him; and Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from
Haran.” [Genesis 11:31, 12:4] “Then Sari, Abram’s wife, took Hagar her maid,
the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram had
dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan…So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram
named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.” [Genesis 16:3, 15] “And He (GOD) said,
‘I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold,
Sarah your wife shall have a son.’…And The LORD visited Sarah as He had said,
and The LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore
Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which The LORD had spoken to
him. And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him – Isaac.” [Genesis 18:10, 21:1-3] “Abraham again took a
wife, and her name was Keturah; and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian
(Judges 6:1-3, 1 Chronicles 1:32-33), Ishbak and Shua…But Abraham gave gifts to
the sons of his concubines which Abraham had; and while he was still living he
sent them eastward, away for Isaac his son, to the country of the east.” [Genesis
25:1-2, 6]
So Abraham had at least eight sons;
Ishmael had twelve sons they became the Ishmaelites [Genesis 25:12-18,
1 Chronicles 1:29-31]
Isaac had two sons Jacob and Esau [Genesis 25:19-28; 1
Chronicles 1:34]; Esau had five sons and they became the nation of Edom (Genesis
36; Deuteronomy 2:1-8; 1 Chronicles 1:34-37, 43-54); Jacob had twelve sons and
they became the nation of Israel. [Genesis 35:23-26, 1 Chronicles 2:1-2]
“…Thus both daughters of Lot were with child by their father. The first bore a son and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day (Deuteronomy 2:9-12). And the younger, she also bore a son and called his name Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the people of Ammon to this day (Deuteronomy 2:17-29).” [Genesis 19:30-38])
“Selah” (A pause – a good time to think about what you just read)
“Do to them as You did to Midian, to
Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River, who perished at En-dor – they became as
dung for the ground.
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb –
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, who said, ‘Let us take possession of
the pasturelands of GOD.’
My GOD, make them like tumbleweed,
like chaff before the wind.
As a fire burns a forest, and as a
flame sets mountains ablaze, so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them
with Your storm.
Cover their faces with shame, so they
may seek Your Name–ADONAI.
Let them be ashamed and dismayed
forever.
Let them be humiliated and perish.
Let them know that You alone–Whose Name is ADONAI – are El Elyon (GOD Most High) over all the earth.”
GOD’s protection is for Israel, His chosen people, they are
only defeated when He is judging and punishing them. GOD is accomplishing His
Will in all the nations of the earth through Israel GOD Blesses those who bless
Israel and He curses those who curse Israel. “Now The LORD had said to Abram:
‘Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house to a
land I will show you. I Will make you a great nation; I Will Bless you and make
your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I Will Bless those who bless you,
and I Will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth
shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:1-3 We see that almost all of the Middle East
Nations; the cousins of the Israelites; are at war with them still. This is
older than Mohammad’s religion Islam which he started about 610AD.
