Psalm 91

The layout of Psalm 91 is a confirmation of some of our conclusions of Scripture.
Verse 3- “Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,”
The snare of the fowler is defined for us in Hosea 9:8 as a prophet, and in
particular anyone who is not speaking that which is correct regarding the last
days of the Gospel Age. We see this snare of a fowler as all attempts of those
who tenaciously hold to the “harvest message of the seventh messenger” to bind
their brethren with the beliefs that unless they also hold to those teachings, they
will never succeed in a place of the Bride. These same individuals, while they
scrutinize the past writings to obtain an understanding of current affairs, are
themselves blinded from seeing what the Scriptures tell us will happen.
“and from the pestilence,”
That pestilence is the current plague of Covid-19, the Coronavirus. In Scripture,
pestilence is most always sent forth from God for punishment of disobedience.
Generally, the pestilence is directed towards Israel, but in Jer 27:8 pestilence was
sent also among the Gentile nations. In 1 Ch 21:12, the pestilence was to be
administered by the angel of the Lord. However, angel can mean messenger,
whether of spirit nature, or of human flesh. The present Coronavirus was sent
forth by man, but we suspect that behind the scenes, it was sent forth by God, by
means of his messenger. Is there disobedience within Israel? Is there
disobedience within the Gentile nations?
We point out that circumcision was what God gave to Abraham as a sign or token
of the covenant between Him and Abraham, Gen 17. That covenant was codified
in the law of Moses, John 7:23. Therefore, every male who becomes circumcised,
whether or not they believe it has any significance relative to matters of the Law,
has entered into that covenant relationship, which then places them under the
constraint of keeping the Law of God.
Some may inquire, “How can that be?” Similarly, every male who has sexual
intercourse with a woman, whether harlot, maiden, or wife of another, has
become one with her, has entered into the marital arrangement with her, whether
they intended to or not. 1 Cor 6:16.
Therefore, because circumcision, as a token, is identified with the covenant of
Law, and the keeping of it, all circumcised males are bound under the Law of
Moses, and are to keep the Law’s requirements. Gal 5:3- “For I testify again to
every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole Law.” Unless
that individual has been released of that arrangement, by coming into Christ,

Rom 7:4; 10:4, they are obligated to keep the Law because they have been
placed under that Law by circumcision.
Now, are there any among the nations who are guiltless as regards the keeping of
the Law, among those who are circumcised? No, not one. Is not God then
justified to bring pestilence upon them, who have entered into a covenant with
Him by means of circumcision, because they have disobeyed? Yes, God is
justified.
Verse 4- He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt
thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.”
Those who are of the Little Flock will be covered by His feathers of protection;
and His truth regarding the prophetic scene at hand will be their shield and
buckler, defense against error.
“Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night:”
The terror here is in context with the arrow in the next verse. This terror is
caused by the Arab peoples within, around the land of Israel, and worldwide as
they react to Israel’s proclamation that Jesus is their Messiah. That same
proclamation also defines Jesus as the world’s Savior, which debunks Islam’s
claim of Allah as the great God. Naturally, the Arab’s will react with violence, the
only response that they know. This violence will be great and it will be directed
towards all Israelis wherever they are. Thus, the violence will be felt among all
nations, and terror will rise up within those that see and hear of the violence.
We expect this terrorizing to begin at the end of the Feast of Weeks, which ends
about sundown, approximately 6:00 P.M. on our calendar day, May 30th. “By
night” follows the portion of daylight. The Feast of Weeks date is calculated
based upon information in Feast of Weeks Calculated.
“nor for the arrow that flieth by day;”
As we have proclaimed in our dissertations, Israel will send forth one missile (a
modern day arrow, “the arrow”) with a nuclear warhead, or comparable, during
the morning, the daylight hours of June 4th, 2020, for the destruction of
Damascus. This response is in accord with God’s will, and timing, as outlined in
Scripture.
“nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness;”
This pestilence is not the Coronavirus, but another destructive plague. “Walks in
darkness,” can mean “to spread at dusk.” What we see here in the context are
two methods that God typically uses for punishment, sword and pestilence.
Famine is His third choice (Jer 14:12, as an example), but that takes a longer

time for accomplishment. The pestilence here may well be the after-waves of the
explosion as the radiation(?) spreads outward, even during dusk into the hours of
night. This pestilence will be deadly.
“nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.”
We had also pointed out that Israel would “drive out Ashdod at the noonday, and
Ekron shall be rooted up.” This is the prophetic announcement from Zephaniah
2:4. At the earliest, this may occur the next day after Damascus’ destruction as
part of God’s cleansing of foreigners out of Israel’s land of inheritance. We say
this on the testimony of verses 5,6. Verse 5- terror by night (May 30th), followed
by the arrow by day (June 4th). Verse 6- the pestilence (after the arrow flies on
June 4th) spreads at dusk, followed by “the destruction that wastes at noonday.”
Verse 7- “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and an abundance at thy right
hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.”
This verse shifts away from natural Israel and focuses upon spiritual Israel
because “thee” refers to God’s anointed, those who dwell in His secret place
during the Gospel Age.
From Rev 8:11, a “third part” one section or group of those that ran for the High
Calling prize, died “of” or on account of the waters because they would not
proclaim the truths then due regarding God’s Day of Vengeance at hand. These
entered into Second Death, the thousand. What was translated “ten thousand”
really means “abundance,” and such is the numbering of those who enter into the
Great Multitude, “which no man could number,” Rev 7:9.
Both of these classes begin to manifest themselves as a result of the sounding of
the third trumpet, but their conclusion is not reached until after the seventh
trumpet sounds on the 22nd of the seventh month after the Feast of Ingathering is
accomplished.
