Psalm 127

Hold on! This gets powerful! Psalm 127 is only 5 verses long. But can you believe that the fate of the United States, sleep and abortion are all subjects discussed in this brief Psalm?

USA

“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” (Psalm 127:1)

I am absolutely convinced that God built and keeps the United States of America. I am also convinced that we as citizens of this country have left our first love, that love we had for Jesus Christ and His word when this country was being sought, discovered, built and founded. Finally, I am convinced that what Jesus told the Ephesians in Revelations directly applies to us at this very moment.

“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” (Revelations 2:4-7).

The Nicolaitanes were Gnostics which means, "having knowledge" or “in the know”. This group of folks who know better than Christians were great participants in seduction, sex, and adultery. Hedonist in reality and practice, these Gnostics tried to contort God and His word around their desires, to suit their own purpose and to justify their own actions. Sound familiar?

Repent and overcome USA, repent and overcome! Return to Jesus!

SLEEP

“It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.” (Psalm 127:2)

Now you know where the expression, “Sleep on it” comes from and the reasoning behind it.

ABORTION

“Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.” (Psalm 127:3-5)

Abortion is the devil’s assault on God. Man was made in God’s image, so Satan is attempting to eliminate that image one soul at a time.

What did the devil do the moment Jesus was brought forth into this world? The devil, through Herod immediately tried to find out where Jesus was so he could kill him. When that didn’t work Satan then killed all children age two and under that lived in the area.

The devil has been in the baby killing business for a long time. Even before Christ, the devil devised pagan rituals and false gods such as the Canaanite god Moloch in which babies and young children were sacrificed by fire by their parents.

Children are God’s heritage and His reward. The devil through abortion is doing everything in his power to take these things from God. Abortion is the fastest, most efficient method ever devised, and unbelievably, abortion is a socially accepted practice worldwide.

The last part of the passage is most important, for it tells us exactly what is going on. It is expressing God’s blessings to Abraham after he willingly offered his son to God as a sacrifice. This, by the way, shows the difference between God and Satan. God saves and grows, the devil kills and destroys.

The Psalmist writes, “Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.”

God said to Abraham, “That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.” (Genesis 22:17-18).

It is through children that prospers the man and his family. It is through children that evil will be defeated. It is through children that God’s people will populate the earth. It is through the children that the word of God will be preached.

It must be understood, the devil isn’t just killing for killing sake. The devil is trying to eliminate the souls of God, the children of God, the chosen, the elect. And just like in the case of Jesus, the devil doesn’t know which is which, so he is attempting to kill them all!
