Psalms 90 & 91

Psalms 90: 1 to 6
It is supposed that this psalm refers to the sentence passed on Israel in the wilderness, Numbers 14. The favour and protection of GOD are the only sure rest and comfort of the soul in this evil world. CHRIST JESUS is the refuge and dwelling-place to which we may repair. We are dying creatures, all our comforts in the world are dying comforts, but GOD is an ever-living GOD, and believers find HIM so. When GOD, by sickness, or other afflictions, turns men to destruction, HE thereby calls men to return unto HIM to repent of their sins, and live a new life. A thousand years are nothing to GOD’s eternity: between a minute and a million of years there is some proportion; between time and eternity there is none. All the events of a thousand years, whether past or to come, are more present to the Eternal Mind, than what was done in the last hour is to us. And in the resurrection, the body and soul shall both return and be united again. Time passes unobserved by us, as with men asleep; and when it is past, it is as nothing. It is a short and quickly-passing life, as the waters of a flood. Man does but flourish as the grass, which, when the winter of old age comes, will wither; but he may be mown down by disease or disaster.

OLD TESTAMENT

2 Kings 15: 13 – 38

2 Kings 15: 28
Carried them to Assyria.
This invasion by Tiglath pilesar 3 of Assyria represented the first stage of Israel’s captivity in exile. Those living in the northern and eastern sections of Israel were carried away from their homeland into Mesopotamia. This beginning of the end for the northern kingdom came as a result of GOD’s judgment for their continued sin. Samaria the capital of the northern kingdom was captured 11 years later.

NEW TESTAMENT
✝️
Mark 14: 12 – 21

Mark 14: 21
Had never been born.
JESUS always judges and evaluates life from the spiritual and eternal viewpoint. HE affirms that it would be better that a person never be born than to come into the world, fail to accept JESUS as LORD and SAVIOUR, and consequently perish eternally in hell.
