The Unbroken Covenants God Gives Us, Provides Unflinching Confidence Ge 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. {While…: Heb. As yet all the days of the earth}
Jer 31:35 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: V. 36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever.
Jer 33:20 Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; Jer 33:25 Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
Ps 89:36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. Ps 89:37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
Adam Clark’s Commentary Psalms 89:37 “As the moon and as a faithful witness in heaven.”- That is, as long as the sun and moon shall endure, as long as time shall last, his kingdom shall last among men. The moon appears to be termed a faithful witness here, because by her particularly time is measured. Her decrease and increase are especially observed by every nation, and by these, time is generally estimated especially among the eastern nations. So many moons is a man old; so many moons since such an event happened; and even their years are reckoned by lunation. Or the rainbow may be intended; that sign which God has established in the cloud; that faithful witness of his that the earth shall no more be destroyed by water. As long therefore as the sun, the moon, and the rainbow appear in the heavens, so long shall the spiritual David reign, and his seed prosper and increase. Selah means- It is confirmed; it shall not fail.” The church must not miss the understanding of the things that heaven has tied to the ordinances in the earth. One main area where we have to touch each month is the fact that our “month” is determined by the movement of the sun, the moon and the stars. This is the way God ordained it. Gen 1:14-15 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. Psalms 89:37 EXPOSITION Ver. 37. It shall be established for ever as the moon. The kingdom may wax and wane to mortal eyes, but it shall still abide as long as the moon walks in her silver beauty.
And as a faithful witness in the heavens, the most stable part of the universe is selected as a type of Messiah\’s kingdom, and both sun and moon are made to be symbols of its long endurance. Whatever else there is in the sky which faithfully witnesses to the unbending course of nature is also called upon to be a sign of the Lord\’s truth. When heaven and earth witness and the Lord himself swear, there remains no excuse for doubting, and faith joyfully reposes in confident expectation.
Matthew Henry’s Commentary’s on Ps 19. The constant and regular succession of day and night (Ps 19:2): Day unto day, and night unto night, speak the glory of that God who first divided between the light and the darkness, and has, from the beginning to this day, preserved that established order without variation, according to God\’s covenant with Noah (Ge 8:22), that, while the earth remains, day and night shall not cease, to which covenant of providence the covenant of grace is compared for its stability, Jer 33:20; 31:35. The counter changing of day and night, in so exact a method, is a great instance of the power of God, and calls us to observe that, as in the kingdom of nature, so in that of providence, he forms the light and creates the darkness (Isa 45:7), and sets the one over against the other. Ps 121:6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The children of Satan have found out that the heavenly bodies can cooperate with them to hurt the many lives that are lost and our continent, Africa has suffered the most, some nations being padlocked and multitude destroyed.
The church must wake up and respond by prayer and understand the times.
PRAYING THROUGH THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER 2014 November derived its name from the Latin word “Novem” meaning nine (9). It retained its name when January and February were added to the Roman calendar. It is the ninth (9th) month of the Jewish sacred calendar (the month Chisleu), the third (3rd) month according to their civil calendar and the eleventh (11th) month according to the Gregorian calendar. October, November and December constitute the last quarter of the year following the Roman Gregorian calendar. It is the fall season moving into the winter. Except for human activity, the rest of creation is drying off, dying or continuing preparations for going into hibernation for rest and recuperation during the coming winter period. Hibernation is a time when various creatures go into an almost zero metabolic rate and are comatose. It’s the season for “the seed to fall to the ground and die” (Joh 12:24). Only the barest necessities for survival remain and minimal energy is utilized. During this period, there is heightened spiritual activity for both good and evil. It is a period where in history quite a lot of blood has been shed e.g. the Russian and French revolutions which resulted in mass deaths, the First and Second World Wars, all started during the last quarter of the year. After the diabolic Halloween in the end of October, on the 1st & 2nd November in particular “All Saints” and “All Souls Day” is celebrated in honor of the dead (All Hallowmas). In some nations especially those ravaged by mass death through AIDS pandemic, it has become tradition to clean grave yards and cemeteries time when the mysteries of the graveyard are activated to control, manipulate and oppress people.
