Transcript of this segment

We will now turn to Psalm 119 to see what King David said about this beautiful letter. Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Holy Scriptures, written by King David in homage to Elohim's letters. He eloquently writes, giving each letter its rightful due and uncovering the richness of each one. In doing so, the man after God's own heart also highlights the importance of Torah. It is believed by some that David desired to teach Solomon not only the Aleph-Bet but also the deep spiritual understanding of each letter, which is one of the reasons Elohim blessed Solomon with great and unmatched wisdom. Certainly, deep calls unto deep.

In Psalm 119:161-168, King David says: "Princes persecute me without cause, but my heart stands in awe of Your word. I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great treasure. I hate and abhor lying, but I love Your Torah. Seven times a day I praise You because of Your righteous judgments. Great peace have those who love Your Torah; nothing causes them to stumble. Lord, I hope for Your salvation, and I do Your commandments. My soul keeps Your testimonies, and I love them exceedingly. I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, for all my ways are before You."

This is the heart posture of the man after God's own heart. My Christian friends, please understand what King David said. Paul would never come against King David. Yeshua will sit on David's everlasting throne, confirming what David says. Paul did not have the authority to come against King David. We need to be honest with everyone. People need to close the book of Paul and read what King David, Moses, and Yeshua said. They will be in alignment with each other, and Paul is in alignment as well if read from a Torah-based gospel standpoint. If read from a Christianity standpoint, then go be rebellious, and your rebellion is witchcraft, just as Samuel said in 1 Samuel 15:22-24.

We must stop taking Paul out of context. He never would have said anything against what King David wrote in Psalm 119:161-168. King David says, "Princes persecute me without cause but my heart stands in awe of your word. I rejoice at your word as one who finds a great treasure." How many Christians say that about the Torah? King David does. He also says, "I hate and abhor lying, but I love your Torah." Again, how many Christians say that? "Seven times a day I praise you because of your righteous judgments." Amen. "Great peace have those who love your Torah and nothing causes them to stumble."

My friend, if King David says great peace have those who love your Torah, then Christians who do not keep His Torah have no peace. They do not have great peace because King David said, "Great peace have those who love your Torah." Yeshua is sitting on David's everlasting throne, so we need to understand that great peace has those who love your Torah. Our Christian friends have false peace because they do not love His Torah. You must follow His commandments, my friends, because you will not stumble, just as King David says, "And nothing causes them to stumble."

"Lord, I hope for Your salvation." Yeshua, His name means salvation. "And I do Your commandments." How many Christians say that? How many Christians do that? Not many. "My soul keeps Your testimonies, and I love them exceedingly." Again, how many Christians say that? Not many. "I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, for all my ways are before You." This is one of the most beautiful sections of Psalm 119, as he highlights the Torah in almost every sentence to close out the chapter.

We have one more letter to go, the last letter, and you will see what he says there. I would petition and provoke my Christian friends to jealousy by urging them to read Psalm 119 from King David's mouth. No one will come against that, including the Apostle Paul. So, my Christian friends, what are you going to do? Are you going to follow King David, whose heart posture was after God's own heart? It doesn't say that about Paul. With all due respect to Paul, it says that about King David. We need to get with it. At the end of the age, we must be straightforward because time is getting short.

If we look at it with a heart posture of God, which David had, that is the reason he was given the Davidic covenant, and that is the reason Yeshua will sit on his everlasting throne, David's everlasting throne, as confirmed in 2 Samuel 7 and Psalm 89.
