Psalms 85
Book of Psalms
Psalms 85:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. LORD, thou
hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of
Jacob.
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all
their sin. Selah.
3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the
fierceness of thine anger.
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to
cease.
5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to
all generations?
6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace
unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell
in our land.
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed
each other.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down
from heaven.
12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield
her increase.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his
steps.
• 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)
