Psalm 28:9 – Part 12
Psalm 28:9 Save Your people, bless Your inheritance, shepherd them and carry them forever.
Save - Bless - Shepherd - Carry (lift them up)… those are the four verbs prayed to God by David in this last verse of Psalm 28. And for emphasis David adds at the end, “Ad-HaOlam” meaning, “Do it all for eternity.” Today, we’re meditating on the first part, “Save Your people!” Tomorrow we will deal with the rest of the verse (as the Lord allows).
How is it that most Jewish people don’t think about salvation? It is mentioned over 200 times in the Hebrew Scriptures. Why, you would have to be blind to miss it. Isaiah saw this and prophesied with accuracy immediately after receiving the vision of Yeshua seated on His throne.
Isaiah 6:9 Then He said: “Go! Tell this people: ‘Hear without understanding, and see without perceiving.’ 10 Make the heart of this people fat, their ears heavy, and their eyes blind. Else they would see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and return, and be healed.”
The deferred salvation of Israel is an important part of God’s plan for the salvation of the world.
Romans 11:2a God has not rejected His people whom He knew beforehand…. 7 What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained; but the elect obtained it, and the rest were hardened—8 just as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes not to see and ears not to hear, until this very day.”
The “elect” is called “a remnant” in many translations. In Hebrew, “remnant” means “survivor.” Where is it written there would be Hebrew survivors who get saved? Isaiah 10:21 A remnant will return, even the remnant of Jacob, to the Mighty God.
Immediately after prophesying over the root of Jesse, Isaiah again sees redemption for the remand of Israel… Isaiah 11:11a It will also come about in that day that my Lord will again redeem—a second time with His hand—the remnant of His people who remain (from outside the promised land).
This is necessary (that Israel - for the most part - rejected Yeshua as Messiah) so that the world (all the other nations) may be saved. Romans 11:25b …a partial hardening has come upon Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;… 26 and in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer shall come out of Zion. He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.”
Again, we quote from Isaiah, who prophesied over both Israel and Yeshua… Isaiah 49:6 So He says, “It is too trifling a thing that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and restore the preserved ones of Israel. So I will give You as a light for the nations, that You should be My salvation to the end of the earth.”
Given “as a light for the nations (Gentiles).” The rabbis believe that light is Israel, but Israel needs light (for blind eyes). The plan of God is brilliant!
That’s why Paul is overwhelmed… Romans 11:33 O the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how incomprehensible His ways!
Israel gets saved, and their salvation leads to worldwide revival. First, Jeremiah 31:33 “But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days”—it is a declaration of Adonai—“I will put My Torah within them. Yes, I will write it on their heart. I will be their God and they will be My people.” Then, Matthew 24:14 This Good News of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. Shalom shalom.
