In this segment: Chadwick introduces Psalm 119 as King David's homage to the Aleph-Bet and the Torah, emphasizing its importance. He advises reading the Torah, Prophets, and Psalms before Paul's letters to properly understand them, and then reads verses from Psalm 119 that underscore the eternal truth and significance of God's Torah.

Transcript of this segment

So, now let's go to Psalm 119. Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Holy Scriptures. It was written by King David in homage to Elohim's Aleph-Bet. He eloquently writes and gives each letter its rightful due, uncovering the richness of each one. In doing so, the man after God's own heart also highlights the importance of Torah, the instructions of God. It is believed by some that David desired to not only teach Solomon the Aleph-Bet, but also the deep spiritual understanding of each letter. Thus, one of the reasons Elohim blessed Solomon with great and unmatched wisdom. Certainly, deep calls unto deep, and we will be going through these on the rest of the letters as well. Psalm 119. So, Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible, and again, it goes into the alphabet. Every letter is in Psalm 119. It is written as homage to it. It has eight verses to each letter. All 22 letters. That's why it's the longest chapter in the Bible. And this is what King David wrote. And again, it's right after the Hallel Psalms, Psalm 113 through Psalm 118, which is the Hallel book of the feast days that we sing in spring and fall. So, it's the Hallel book. So, King David wrote this right after the Hallel. Where is it situated in the Bible? Right after the Hallel. So, it's just interesting. Psalm 118 is the crucifixion hymn about Messiah. Psalm 118 is, if you read the bottom of the passage. So, I find it very interesting that they put Psalm 119 right behind Psalm 118. And here we go. So, this is the homage to the letter Resh and also to God's instructions, the Torah. So, this is from King David, Psalm 119:153-160: "Consider my affliction and deliver me, for I do not forget Your Torah. Plead my cause and redeem me; Revive me according to Your word. Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek Your statutes. Great are Your tender mercies, O Lord; Revive me according to Your judgments. Many of my persecutors and my enemies, yet I do not turn from Your testimonies. I see the treacherous, and I am disgusted, because they do not keep Your Torah. Consider how I love Your precepts; Revive me, Adonai, according to Your lovingkindness. The entirety of Your word is truth, and every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever and ever. Amen."

So, my friends, just like we always go through, this is very powerful coming from King David. No one would come against that. I'm going to say this tonight and two more times, but no one's going to come against this. The Apostle Paul would not come against King David. Actually, he quoted King David. Why would he come against him? He quoted Moses. Why would he come against him? So, we have to understand that Paul's going to be in alignment with Moses, with David, with Yeshua, with everybody. Because if he's not, then he'd be the only one that's not. So, again, it takes two witnesses to establish a matter. Paul is a servant of Yeshua, not the other way around. He's a servant of the Most High God, not the other way around. What does that mean? God is the lawgiver, not Paul. So, we've got to realize that there's only one lawgiver, and that's the Most High God. And Paul's going to be in alignment with that. And if one does not think he is in alignment with that, then please read Paul a different way, from the Torah, prophets, Psalms, and Gospels. Because too many Christians are reading Paul in the wrong way because they think Paul came to basically eliminate the commandments and Christians don't have to do anything. That's putting Paul as God, basically, is what that's doing. That's putting Paul above the Most High, saying that he had the authority to change these things. He did not. And again, he would have been the only writer in the Holy Bible that would tell people to break the commandments. He would have never done that. And he did not do that. So, Christian, my Christian friends need to quit reading him like that and go get educated about the Torah, the prophets, and the Psalms, and then go read Paul, and then Paul would make better sense because he's teaching and he's writing from a Torah-based gospel. He's writing from the understanding of the Torah, the prophets, the Psalms, and the Gospels. That's how he was writing his letters. Very awesome writing, if we understand how to read him right, read him the right way. If we're reading him from a replacement theology standpoint, then good luck. But if you're reading him from what he would have understood with the Torah, the prophets, the Psalms, and the Gospels, then you're going to read him in the right way. That's why I tell people, Paul should just be locked up away from people until people go get educated with the Torah of the prophets and Psalms. People shouldn't even be able to read Paul until they read that first. It should be a prerequisite to read because it is to read the Torah, prophets, Psalms, Gospels, and then go read Paul, and they'll have a different understanding of Paul instead of going to the New Testament first, which is wrong, trying to understand the New Testament without the Torah, the prophets, and the Psalms, or the Old Testament. We have to understand the original revelation, Torah, to understand everything. Isaiah 46:9-10 says this: "For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.'" So, if we don't understand the beginning, how in the world are we going to understand the end? We're not. And that's why, in my opinion, the Jews and the Christians are out of alignment with the end of the age because we don't understand the Torah, the prophets, and the Psalms, and what Yeshua said, and then go to Paul, and then go to Revelation, right? So, we've got to get back to the proper reading of the Bible. And if we don't have the calendar, the feast days, the table of nations, and the covenants, welcome to replacement theology. That's simple. But if one has that, understands the basic understanding of the calendar, the basic understanding of the feast, the basic understanding of the covenants, the basic understanding of the nations that the prophets were prophesying about instead of all this stuff that people were saying, America, Russia, China, and everybody else in the world. No, it's all the 70 nations in Genesis 10. That's it. The beast kingdom, Antichrist kingdom is in Genesis 10, pretty much. If the nations aren't in Genesis 10, they're not in there. They're not in there. Will China, Russia, and America be involved? Yes, just on a very secondary level, just on a very support whoever you want with your money or whatever. They will not be involved because America is being run out of the Middle East. China has not shown any evidence that they want to get involved in the Middle East militarily. No evidence whatsoever. They'll support with intelligence, with missiles, with all this stuff, they'll send it to them. They will not get involved. They'll let the other people get involved. They're smart. We're not smart. They are smart. They haven't gone to war for 25 years trying to dethrone everybody in the Middle East. So again, when we look at the table of nations, we have to understand that these nations are the surrounding nations that have always hated Israel and hated the God of Israel. The Islamist today, that's who it is. It's pretty clear about the Abrahamic covenant.

So, my friends, take it from King David. Don't take it from me. Take it from King David, who Yeshua is going to sit on His everlasting throne forever. Do you think anybody's going to come against King David when Yeshua is sitting on His throne at the millennial kingdom? King David's going to be there. You think anybody's going to tell this is wrong, what King David is saying? Of course not. I mean, everything in the scriptures, we have to understand it, but in the right context of understanding. And Paul would never come across King David. Why would he come across King David, right? Or try to go against what he taught. "Consider my affliction and deliver me, O Adonai, for I do not forget Your Torah." How many Christians say that? "Plead my cause and redeem me." "Great are Your tender mercies, O Adonai. Revive me according to Your judgments. Many are my persecutors and my enemies. Yet I do not turn away from Your testimonies, from Your Torah. I see the treacherous and I'm disgusted because they do not keep Your word. Consider how I love Your precepts. Revive me, O Adonai, according to Your lovingkindness. The entirety of Your word is truth, and every one of Your righteous judgments endure how long? Forever. Amen and amen and amen."
