Yahweh Pronounces Judgement From Heaven

Yahweh Pronounces Judgement From Heaven

Psalm 76 reads,

For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song.
^{76:1In Judah, God is known.

His name is great in Israel.
^{76:2His tent is also in Salem;

His dwelling-place in Zion.
^{76:3There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow,

The shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war.
Selah.
^{76:4Glorious are you, and excellent,

More than mountains of game.
^{76:5Valiant men lie plundered,

They have slept their last sleep.

None of the men of war can lift their hands.
^{76:6At your rebuke, God of Jacob,

Both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
^{76:7You, even you, are to be feared.

Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
^{76:8You pronounced judgment from heaven.

The earth feared, and was silent,

^76:9When God arose to judgment,

To save all the afflicted ones of the earth.}}}}Selah.
^{76:10Surely the wrath of man praises you.

The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
^{76:11Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them!

Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
76:12He will cut off the spirit of princes.

He is feared by the kings of the earth.}}}}}} Yahweh Judges Among The Mighty Ones

Psalm 82 reads,

A Psalm by Asaph.
^{82:1God presides in the great assembly.

He judges among the gods.
^{82:2"How long will you judge unjustly,

And show partiality to the wicked?"}}
Selah.
^{82:3"Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless.

Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
^{82:4Rescue the weak and needy.

Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."
^{82:5They don’t know, neither do they understand.

They walk back and forth in darkness.

All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
^{82:6I said, "You are gods,

All of you are sons of the Most High.
^{82:7Nevertheless you shall die like men,

And fall like one of the rulers."
^{82:8Arise, God, judge the earth,

For you inherit all of the nations.}}}}}}

The "gods" or mighty ones among whom Yahweh presides in the great assembly are angels, as seen in 82:1, are angels.

Wicked Angels Shall Die Like Men

The "sons of the Most High", "gods" or mighty ones, are angels on whom Yahweh has pronounced a sentence of judgement. And that sentence is that they shall die LIKE men, implying that these "sons of the Most High" are NOT men, but are angels. It is also implied that they have not yet died, to experience death like men.

Seeing that those who die are those who commit wickedness or iniquity it is indeed implied that these "sons of the Most High" have committed wickedness and iniquity. These are wicked angels who will eventually die, for that is their sentence of judgement coming from Yahweh's mouth!

It should therefore be understood that wicked angels will not live forever, but will indeed have their existence terminated at the time of their death. For so Yahweh has spoken, and so it will be done.

Yah'shuah's words in John 10:33-36 should also be noted.

^{10:33The Jews answered him, "We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."
^{10:34Jesus answered them, "Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods?’ ^10:35If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can’t be broken), ^10:36Do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God?’}}

It should be noted that those called "gods" are not identified as human beings by Yah'shuah. But they are persons to whom the word of Yahweh had come at the time that Yah'shuah was speaking. Seeing that Psalm 82:6-7 shows that these to whom the word of Yahweh had come had yet to die, it is indeed implied that they are persons with very long life, indicating that they are angels.

Vengeance Belongs To Yahweh

Psalm 94 reads,

^{94:1Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs,

You God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.
^{94:2Rise up, you judge of the earth.

Pay back the proud what they deserve.
^{94:3Yahweh, how long will the wicked,

How long will the wicked triumph?}}}^{94:4They pour out arrogant words.

All the evil-doers boast.
^{94:5They break your people in pieces, Yahweh,

And afflict your heritage.
^{94:6They kill the widow and the alien,

And murder the fatherless.
^{94:7They say, "Yah will not see,

Neither will Jacob’s God consider."
^{94:8Consider, you senseless among the people;

You fools, when will you be wise?
^{94:9He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear?

He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
^{94:10He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish?

He who teaches man knows.
^{94:11Yahweh knows the thoughts of man,

That they are futile.
^{94:12Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah,

And teach out of your law;
^{94:13That you may give him rest from the days of adversity,

Until the pit is dug for the wicked.
^{94:14For Yahweh won’t reject his people,

Neither will he forsake his inheritance.
^{94:15For judgment will return to righteousness.

All the upright in heart shall follow it.}}}}^{94:16Who will rise up for me against the wicked?

Who will stand up for me against the evil-doers?
^{94:17Unless Yahweh had been my help,

My soul would have soon lived in silence.
^{94:18When I said, "My foot is slipping!"

Your lovingkindness, Yahweh, held me up.
^{94:19In the multitude of my thoughts within me,

Your comforts delight my soul.
^{94:20Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you,

Which brings about mischief by statute?
^{94:21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,

And condemn the innocent blood.
^{94:22But Yahweh has been my high tower,

My God, the rock of my refuge.
^{94:23He has brought on them their own iniquity,

And will cut them off in their own wickedness.

Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Yahweh Will Judge The Peoples With His Truth

Psalm 96:9-11 reads,

^{96:9Worship Yahweh in holy array.

Tremble before him, all the earth.
^{96:10Say among the nations, "Yahweh reigns."

The world is also established.

It can’t be moved.

He will judge the peoples with equity.
^{96:11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice.

Let the sea roar, and the fullness of it!

^96:12Let the field exult, and all that is therein.

Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy

^96:13Before Yahweh; for he comes,

For he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,

The peoples with his truth.}}}
Those Who Serve Engraved Images Will Be Put To Shame

Psalm 97:6-9 reads,

^{97:6The heavens declare his righteousness.

All the peoples have seen his glory.
^{97:7Let all them be put to shame who serve engraved images,

Who boast in their idols.

Worship him, all you gods!
^{97:8Zion heard and was glad.

The daughters of Judah rejoiced,

Because of your judgments, Yahweh.}}^{97:9For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth.

You are exalted far above all gods.}} Yahweh Will Judge The World With Righteousness

Psalm 98:7-9 reads,

^{98:7Let the sea roar with its fullness;

The world, and those who dwell therein.
^{98:8Let the rivers clap their hands.

Let the mountains sing for joy together.
^{98:9Let them sing before Yahweh,

For he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,

And the peoples with equity.}}}
Why Yahweh Judges For His People

Psalm 105 reads,

^{105:1Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name!

Make his doings known among the peoples.
^{105:2Sing to him, sing praises to him!

Tell of all his marvelous works.
^{105:3Glory in his holy name.

Let the heart of them rejoice who seek Yahweh.
^{105:4Seek Yahweh and his strength.

Seek his face forever more.
^{105:5Remember his marvelous works that he has done;

His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
^{105:6You seed of Abraham, his servant,

You children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
^{105:7He is Yahweh, our God.

His judgments are in all the earth.}}}}^{105:8He has remembered his covenant forever,

The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
^{105:9The covenant which he made with Abraham,

His oath to Isaac,
^{105:10And confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute;

To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
^{105:11Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan,

The lot of your inheritance;"
^{105:12When they were but a few men in number,

Yes, very few, and sojourners in it.
^{105:13They went about from nation to nation,

From one kingdom to another people.
^{105:14He allowed no one to do them wrong.

Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
^{105:15"Don’t touch my anointed ones.

Do my prophets no harm."
^{105:16He called for a famine on the land.

He destroyed the food supplies.
^{105:17He sent a man before them.

Joseph was sold for a slave.
^{105:18They bruised his feet with shackles.

His neck was locked in irons,
^{105:19Until the time that his word happened,

And Yahweh’s word proved him true.
^{105:20The king sent and freed him;

Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
^{105:21He made him lord of his house,

And ruler of all of his possessions;
^{105:22To discipline his princes at his pleasure,

And to teach his elders wisdom.
^{105:23Israel also came into Egypt.

Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
^{105:24He increased his people greatly,

And made them stronger than their adversaries.
^{105:25He turned their heart to hate his people,

To conspire against his servants.
^{105:26He sent Moses, his servant,

And Aaron, whom he had chosen.
^{105:27They performed miracles among them,

And wonders in the land of Ham.
^{105:28He sent darkness, and made it dark.

They didn’t rebel against his words.
^{105:29He turned their waters into blood,

And killed their fish.
^{105:30Their land swarmed with frogs,

Even in the chambers of their kings.
^{105:31He spoke, and swarms of flies came,

And lice in all their borders.
^{105:32He gave them hail for rain,

With lightning in their land.
^{105:33He struck their vines and also their fig trees,

And shattered the trees of their country.
^{105:34He spoke, and the locusts came,

And the grasshoppers, without number,
^{105:35Ate up every plant in their land;

Ate up the fruit of their ground.
^{105:36He struck also all the firstborn in their land,

The chief of all their strength.}}}}}}}}}}}^{105:37He brought them forth with silver and gold.

There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
^{105:38Egypt was glad when they departed,

For the fear of them had fallen on them.
^{105:39He spread a cloud for a covering,

Fire to give light in the night.
^{105:40They asked, and he brought quails,

And satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
^{105:41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out.

They ran as a river in the dry places.
^{105:42For he remembered his holy word,

And Abraham, his servant.
^{105:43He brought forth his people with joy,

His chosen with singing.
^{105:44He gave them the lands of the nations.

They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
^{105:45That they might keep his statutes,

And observe his laws.

Praise Yah!}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Yahweh judges for his people that they might keep his statutes and observe his laws! In other words, those for whom Yahweh judges are those who do his word.

The Wicked Will Be Put To Shame

Psalm 109 reads,

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
^{109:1God of my praise, don’t remain silent,

^109:2For they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me.

They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
^{109:3They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,

And fought against me without a cause.
^{109:4In return for my love, they are my adversaries;

But I am in prayer.
^{109:5They have rewarded me evil for good,

And hatred for my love.
^{109:6Set a wicked man over him.

Let an adversary stand at his right hand.
^{109:7When he is judged, let him come forth guilty.

Let his prayer be turned into sin.
^{109:8Let his days be few.

Let another take his office.
^{109:9Let his children be fatherless,

And his wife a widow.
^{109:10Let his children be wandering beggars.

Let them be sought from their ruins.
^{109:11Let the creditor seize all that he has.

Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
^{109:12Let there be none to extend kindness to him,

Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.
^{109:13Let his posterity be cut off.

In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
^{109:14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh.

Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
^{109:15Let them be before Yahweh continually,

That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;
^{109:16Because he didn’t remember to show kindness,

But persecuted the poor and needy man,

The broken in heart, to kill them.
^{109:17Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him.

He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
^{109:18He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment.

It came into his inward parts like water,

Like oil into his bones.
^{109:19Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself,

For the belt that is always around him.
^{109:20This is the reward of my adversaries from Yahweh,

Of those who speak evil against my soul.}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}^{109:21But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name’s sake,

Because your lovingkindness is good, deliver me;

^109:22For I am poor and needy.

My heart is wounded within me.
^{109:23I fade away like an evening shadow.

I am shaken off as the locust.
^{109:24My knees are weak through fasting.

My body is thin and lacks fat.
^{109:25I have also become a reproach to them.

When they see me, they shake their head.
^{109:26Help me, Yahweh, my God.

Save me according to your lovingkindness;
^{109:27That they may know that this is your hand;

That you, Yahweh, have done it.
^{109:28They may curse, but you bless.

When they arise, they will be put to shame,

But your servant shall rejoice.
^{109:29Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor.

Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.}}^{109:30I will give great thanks to Yahweh with my mouth.

Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.
^{109:31For he will stand at the right hand of the needy,

To save him from those who judge his soul.}}}}}}}}
