Our soul (i.e., our mind, will and emotions) dying of thirst for Elohim and longing for his refreshing presence like a deer panting for water in the hot desert is another example this. Scripture\u2019s use of beautiful poetic imagery helps to draw us closer to Elohim by showing us what we need to do and how to act in ways that are pleasing to him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Psalm 42:2, <em>When shall I appear? <\/em><\/strong>The hope of the resurrection and an afterlife spent with Elohim has incentivized the saints to keep seeking him from the earliest times.

There could be several reasons for this. Congregational life is not always available. Churches come and go. There are many reasons for this. A chief reason is the lack of leaders who are willing to carry the workloads, often with little or not help from others, that are necessary to keep a congregation going. This is because most people are takers, not givers. Another reason is that people\u2019s zeal for Elohim usually diminishes over time and people tend drift into spiritual lukewarmness and apostasy. This is the natural downward progression of all things. In physics it is called the law of entropy, which informs us that everything goes from a state of order to disorder unless some outside influence injects energy into the system and keeps things going in an orderly manner. The same is true with a congregation, fellowship or church, and the same was true in the psalmist\u2019s day as it is now. This is because human nature is the same today as then; it has never changed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Pilgrim feast [holyday, KJV; Heb. chagag]. <\/em><\/strong><em>Chagag<\/em> means \u201cto hold a festival, make a pilgrimage, celebrate, stagger, dance, to reel.\u201d This is a reference to the three biblical pilgrimage or <em>aliyot <\/em>festivals of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks (or Pentecost) and the Feast of Tabernacles. The concept of <em>chagag<\/em> explain what should be the tenor of these three feasts: celebration and joy! When one understands what each of these feasts represent historical and prophetically in light of Yeshua the Messiah and the gospel message, rejoicing will be the result.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concept of pilgrimage refers to the fact that on these three biblical feasts, the Israelites would make a journey or religious pilgrimage to the place where YHVH had placed his name. In former times, this was where the Tabernacle of Moses resided. In latter times, it was in Jerusalem where the temple was located. Now it is where YHVH\u2019s Spirit-filled people are, for the saints are now the temple of the Spirit of Elohim, and YHVH lives in them through his Spirit. These three feasts (along with YHVH\u2019s four other appointed times which are Passover, the Day of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and the Eighth Day) are all listed in Leviticus 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#105c7c\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size has-white-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Psalm 43<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Psalm 43:3, <em>Your light and your truth. <\/em><\/strong>Light is a biblical metaphor for the divinely revealed Truth of Elohim. The reason I capitalize the word <em>Truth<\/em> is to distinguish divinely revealed Truth from truth in the natural world, which man is able to discover through his own investigation. Such small t <em>truth<\/em> would include the laws or truths of science and mathematics for example. While physical light helps to guide us in physical darkness, even so, the light of YHVH\u2019s divinely revealed Truth leads us in the spiritual darkness of this world and will bring us to YHVH\u2019s holy hill and to his tabernacle where his presence resides. That spiritual light is found in YHVH\u2019s Word, the Bible, and Yeshua was the physical manifestation of that Word; hence, he was and is the Light of the world that leads us to his Father in heaven, even as he declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#535d9c\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size has-white-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Psalm 44<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Psalm 44:20\u201321, <em>Forgotten the name of our Elohim\u2026he knows. <\/em><\/strong>Even if we forget the Hebrew names of Elohim and substitute them with other (often pagan) names for him, YHVH still hears the language of our heart if our heart\u2019s intent is correct and directed toward him. This, however, cannot be used as an justification to keep using these substitute names for Elohim once we find out what his true, Hebrew name are. Once we see the light of his Truth, to not walk in it is willful disobedience and we risk turning his grace into licence to do that which the Bible instructs us not to do. The problem is that most people do not care, and will continue to walk in their slothful and stubborn spiritual ways even after they have learned the truth of a matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#0d00a3\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size has-white-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Psalm 45<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Psalm 45:6, <em>The scepter of your kingdom. <\/em><\/strong>Ancient kings often carried a scepter, which had its origins in the shepherds rod, since kings were considered to be shepherds of the people. Thus the scepter became a symbol of protection, authority and power (<em>Manners and Customs<\/em>, p. 148).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Psalm 45:6\u201311, A messianic prophecy. <\/strong>This passage (verse 7) is difficult for non-Messianic rabbinical scholars to deal with since it seems to indicate so clearly the deity of the Messiah. For example, the Orthodox Jewish <em>The ArtScroll Stone Edition Tanach <\/em>renders this passage as follows: <strong>\u201c<\/strong>\u2026therefore <strong>has<\/strong> Elohim, your Elohim, anointed you \u2026<strong>\u201d <\/strong>(emphasis added)\u2014a translationwhich, in effect, changes the whole meaning of the passage to deflect off of the Messiah any connotations of deity. Yet the word <em>has <\/em>does not appear in the original Hebrew. In fact, in <em>The ArtScroll Schottenstein Edition Tehilim <\/em>(<em>The Book of Psalms With an Interlinear Translation<\/em>) under the Hebrew word <em>Elohim<\/em> (<em>Strong\u2019s <\/em>H430), which in English is translated simply as <em>God<\/em>, and means nothing more nor nothing less, appears the word <em>has <\/em>alongside of <em>God. <\/em>Quite clearly, as noted above, the word <em>has <\/em>was added, though it does not appear in the original language.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is the upshot of this discussion? Very simply stated, Elohim is addressing Elohim-Messiah as Elohim. This passage witnesses to the fact that Elohim in Heaven is addressing Messiah-Elohim as deserving of the worshipful title of <em>Elohim<\/em> all of which speaks of the deity, incarnation and virgin birth of the Messiah. Furthermore, in verse 11 we see the imperative command to worship the Messiah as <em>Lord<\/em> (Adon), again showing the incarnation and deity, and by implication the virgin birth, of the Messiah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Psalm 45:14, <em>The virgins and her companions. <\/em><\/strong>This may be a prophetic picture of the bride of Yeshua (i.e. the wise virgins in Yeshua\u2019s Matt 25 parable) accompanied by her non-bride companions (the foolish virgins in the same parable).<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Natan\\&#039;s Commentary on Psalms 38 to 45',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2021\/11\/09\/natans-commentary-on-psalms-38-to-45\/',contentID: 'post-19751',suggestTags: 'Psalms',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psalm 38 Psalm 38:1\u201340, Trials because of sin, resulting in divine judgment and followed by true repentance.
