Psalms 49
Book of Psalms
Psalms 49:1 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of
understanding.
4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the
harp.
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels
shall compass me about?
6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of
their riches;
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for
him:
8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person
perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their
dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that
perish.
13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings.
Selah.
14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the
upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall
consume in the grave from their dwelling.
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive
me. Selah.
16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is
increased;
17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend
after him.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when
thou doest well to thyself.
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
