1 The Psalms of Ascent 6 of 15 1/12/2018 Psalm 125 I will be posting these Psalms with commentary as I go through them, one each day, until the end date of 1/21/2018. FROM THE SECOND GREAT RESURRECTION SIGN OF 9/23/2017 There is a 120 day count for each of the 120 Pentecost Saints in the Upper Room and a 120 day count for each condemning of the Men of Nineveh times a thousand countdown, both ending on 1/21/2018. FURTHER, this date 1/21/2018 is MIDPOINT between the SECOND GREAT RESURRECTION SIGN OF 9/23/2017 AND PENTECOST IN 2018 as this day STARTS a count of 120 days to Pentecost. A Doublesign! A Menorah of 3 candlesticks. The servant branch, fire, of bright shining Saints, in the middle branch. FROM THE SECOND GREAT AMERICAN ECLIPSE OF 8/21/2017 There is a 153 day for a miraculously caught and kept fish countdown that ends on 1/21/2018. Prior to 2018 coming in, I had been so excited about the end of a Pentecost countdown to 12/31/2017, that wasn t a Sunday, but the end of it would have been. I only know that when I have looked at a day before, and have seen numbers or counts or types come together, AND NOTHING HAPPENED!...I have thought that perhaps God had wasted a really good day. I always say, I will stop looking at this day if you give me a day with greater Glory for You and Your Word. Why wasn t the rapture in 2017? Easy answer, because there is a day in 2018 that has more Glory for Him and His Word Meditation: As I learn more about parables and teachings and types of Jesus, I continue to be amazed at how much there remains to learn. David Elphic writes this In the case of John 21, the net does not break, and John, the author, expresses his surprise. Not only is the large catch of 153 fish significant, so is the matter that the net does not break. Psalm days left until 1/21/2018 1

2 Further examples of fish are that a fish was a symbol for Christianity used by the early church, it is to be seen today as a bumper-sticker, we have the Sea of humanity, and the church is thought to be represented by the constellation Pisces. If the 153 fish is to mean anything at all, it must be to do with mankind. It is here that I will tie in my opening discussion about Jesus being the 77th generation from Adam. We can rewrite these 77 generations as , meaning 76 generations, then 1 generation of which Jesus was a member. If we subtract 77 from 153 (fish) we find: = 76. Interesting? Can you see where this leads? This number (153) can thus be interpreted to symbolise this: Jesus came following the first 76 generations of man and will return following the next 76 generations of man: at the 77th and 154th. Do you put it down to something quaint or coincidental, even in view of the symbolism already discussed, or do you accept that this is the case? Even the number of Jesus two generations is perfect considering the way that God the Father does good things in sevens: every 77th generation! It has already been pointed out that the net that lifted these 153 fish out of the water did not break and it has been shown that this was not always the case. If the 153 fish represent 153 generations of man and that Jesus was the one who directed that net to be put in the water, what must the unbroken net holding the fish, be a symbol of? The church; the body of Christ! If a painting were to be done of a net containing 153 fish, with water dripping of their skins and everything, it could be called the body of Christ and I m sure that Jesus would approve. The picture could also be called, the removal of the body of Christ from the sea of humanity, or, to put it into eschatological terminology, the rapture of the body of Christ from the earth. There is a little more that can be said about these 153 fish: they are all described as large. This we can take to mean that they are fully-grown and that this implies that the rapture will not occur until the 153rd generation of the church is fully-grown or has reached adult-hood. This is why Jesus didn't know when He would return. This is why nobody will know. Perhaps it means waiting until person number 106,241,205 has her 21st birthday.

3 knew the generation he would follow, but because of humanity s variability in its generation rates, the when of His return is literally in the Father s hands. If you read John 21 further, you will find Peter receiving instruction about nurturing the church as it matures: love me: feed my lambs, love me: tend my sheep, love me: feed my sheep; and is told that when the church is old, others will carry it where it does not want to go. (I realise that Jesus questioning of Peter's love for Him can also be related to Peter's disobedience, where he three times denied Jesus, and that Jesus is offering Peter an antidote for those denials (pardon the brevity of that explanation), but Jesus is also stressing the need for love for Him to be a prerequisite to being a shepherd of His sheep; the church. After each "Do you love me?", Jesus responds to Peter's responses with instructions about His flock.) The church today is tottering under the weight of a multi-religious doctrine. The World Council of Churches uses and embraces religions that do not embrace Christ. The WCC is not about Christ. They embrace the Aboriginal Dreamtime, Smoke rituals, Spirits of the dead, and it has been suggested that the Bible should be interpreted also from the perspective of birds, water, air, trees, and mountains. We see, as the article opened, that churches are questioning the inerrancy of the Bible. Other examples are (of many): in some churches homosexuality is not considered a sin; some British ministers openly doubt that Christ rose again; and the Bible is being rewritten replacing Father with Mother. Indeed Peter is old and being taken where he does not want to go. As a warning to those who think that this article will enable the determining of the Lord's return, note this: for the three generations still living in our family, the ages of people when first becoming parents ranges from 19 to 34, the Biblical generation is 40 years, and current dictionary definitions for a generation vary from 25 years to 1/3rd of a life span. Attempting to determine a date from this information without reference to other scripture, will be without basis. Jesus will return one day, and whether we are dead or not, the best thing you can do is to make sure that you haven't wasted the gifts that God has given you. Psalm days left until 1/21/2018 3

4 God bless, David Elphick Let s Look At the Psalm of Ascent for Today! Day 15 - Psalm 120-1/7/2018 Day 14 - Psalm 121-1/8/2018 Day 13 - Psalm 122-1/9/2018 Day 12 Psalm 123 1/10/2018 Day 11 - Psalm 124-1/11/2018 Day 10 - Psalm 125-1/12/2018 Today s Psalm Day 9 - Psalm 126-1/13/2018 Day 8 - Psalm 127-1/14/2018 Day 7 - Psalm 128-1/15/2018 Day 6 - Psalm 129-1/16/2018 Day 5 - Psalm 130-1/17/2018 Day 4 - Psalm 131-1/18/2018 Day 3 - Psalm 132-1/19/2018 Day 2 - Psalm 133 1/20/2018 Day 1 - Psalm 134 1/21/2018 If whenever the rapture occurs, the rapture being the Harvest that terminates Pentecost, then Leviticus 23:16 suggests to you that you should be preparing to make a living sacrifice of "New Meat" to God, after whatever count God uses to bring us home. I suggest you use these Psalms to get your heart right. They have been named the Psalms of Ascent from the beginning. Leviticus 23: 15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: 16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; (THEN AN UNKNOWN PERIOD OF TIME GOES BY) and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. "New Meat" means grain that HAS JUST been harvested. Saint! That's YOU! The Pentecost season will end with a harvest. Next Pentecost in Spring will not work because the SECOND GREAT RESURRECTION SIGN on 9/23/2017 started the 120 day for a Pentecost Saint count and prior to that the SECOND GREAT AMERICAN ECLIPSE OF 8/21/ Psalm days left until 1/21/2018

5 started the 153 day for a fish count to all end on 1/21/2018. I am so grateful that God gave me this insight so I can go through each of these Psalms AGAIN as I wait for Him. In the last day or so, though I have taught on them for years, and some I have put to music so I can sing them, I have seen for now the second time the value of using these 15 Psalms of Ascent (Psalm 120 through 134) in a way that God truly prescribed. He wants us to get our hearts ready for the throne room. You'll be taking that "heart" part of you up there with you you know. So get it ready! Not only do I love His appearing, but when one loves it you must love His Scriptures that over and over and over and over confirm His appearing in every detail. There have been those that have told me over and over that these things I have presented from Scripture here are just my opinion. However, it was God who helped me even get to an opinion. Your opinion of me or my opinions or how I present my opinions has faded into the not important bin. I know still that Jesus said most Christians will find Him coming like a thief in the night. They will be surprised. Kind of embarrassing with all that is here to get us ready, but what a loving Lord we have. He still comes. He still redeems. Even though we do not deserve it. This now, after God gave me the purpose of the Psalms of Ascent, has become personal to me. I cannot convince anyone, or few anyway, so instead, I will allow some to watch from the outside while I (and perhaps others as time goes on) engage in a process where I have to prepare my heart and I am going to do it the way God wants. Prepare and count. The Psalms of Ascent. "Thank you Lord for allowing me to see the real use of these Scriptures! and well before the end day of the count so the words can soak in my heart." I love His appearing and I want that crown! I want to have it so that I can give it back to Him because it was only He that allowed me to see all the confirmations that are there in Scripture and which, admittedly, so poorly I tried to faithfully teach. I know there are those that disagree with the idea. I will still read those disagreements (with a smile) and I am happy to read them but it won't bother me. I am not giving up on what God has given me. What this means is that with belief, the words of Scripture come even more alive...it is as if my Lord were speaking directly to me, a part of the Philadelphian Church...

A Song of Ascents. 1 Those who trust in the Lord Are as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever. Saints, when you trust in truth, you simply cannot be moved. What a wonderful truth to start out this Psalm of Ascent. You cannot be moved when you find truth. 2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem, So the Lord surrounds His people From this time forth and forever. Do you not think this Psalm, being recited on the trip UP TO JERUSALEM for the celebration of the harvest feasts, was not used by the fathers as they pointed up at the surrounding and enfolding mountains and said to their children, AS THE MOUNTAINS SURROUND JERUSALEM, SO THE LORD SURROUNDS HIS PEOPLE. Yeah that happened a million times. 3 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the [a]land of the righteous, So that the righteous will not put forth their hands to do wrong. This general statement is one of the reasons why I believe in a pretribulational rapture. The scepter of wickedness is the authority of Satan. The Lord is NOT going to put His church, or allow His Church EVER to be, under the authority of Satan. There will be those, who are of the Lord (their souls will 6 Psalm days left until 1/21/2018

7 remain under the altar during the Tribulation) who will be subject to the scepter of wickedness but they are not part of the Church they are the loved Tribulation Saints of the Lord. These martyrs will be rewarded. 4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good And to those who are upright in their hearts. Good? Again? Hosea 6:8 He has shown you O man, what is good and what the Lord requires of you but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. 5 But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, The Lord will lead them away with the doers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel. I am so grateful to be a part of the Church. Declared righteous by virtue of the fact that I called on the name of the Lord. So different during the Tribulation. If you turn aside to your crooked ways, you are lead away with doers of iniquity. As for Salvation now! It will be so much easier now than after the rapture for those who do not believe I put this Psalm 125 to music years ago with these lyrics if you can hear the progression and tympanics, hah! I don t know what I am talking about in music theory Psalm Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved but abides forever. (in heaven) As mountains protect & surround Jerusalem, So the Lord protects & surrounds His people. From this time forth and forevermore. (The end! 2 nd time through) CHORUS: But as for those who turn aside, to their crooked ways, The Lord will lead away with evil doers! Psalm days left until 1/21/2018 7
