God is Thought. The brightness of our revelations depends upon the correctness of our doctrines, our building blocks, our Godly Thoughts laid one upon another, ascending into the mind of Christ.

(Psa 91:1,2) He that dwelleth in the secret place [Heb: covering] of the most High shall abide [live] under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge [Heb: shelter] [cover of protection] and my fortress [Heb: castle, strong hold]: my God; in him will I trust [Heb: be confident or sure] [1].

1.    (Heb 13:5,6) Let your conversation [life-style] be without covetousness [Gk: not greedy of filthy lucre /// fond of silver (money)]; and be content [Gk: satisfied: sufficient] with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake [Gk: desert] thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

a.     (1 Tim 6:6) But godliness with contentment is great gain.

(Psa 91:3,4) Surely he shall deliver [Heb: rescue] thee from the snare [Heb: to spread a net] of the fowler [a catcher, trapper], and from the noisome [Heb: rushing calamity] [1] pestilence [2] [i.e., coronavirus]. He shall cover [Heb: protect: defend] thee with his feathers, and under his wings [God has “eagles’ wings” Exo 19:4] shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

1.    noisome = Dict: 1. injurious to health; harmful. 2. having a bad odor; foul-smelling.

2.    pestilence = Dict: 1. any virulent or fatal contagious or infectious disease, esp. one of epidemic proportions, as bubonic plague.

BE NOT AFRAID

(Psa 91:5,6) Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror [Heb: dreadful fear, great fear /// make to shake] by night [that one cannot see]; nor for the arrow [guided nuclear missiles] that flieth by day; (Psa 91:6) Nor for the pestilence [a fatal contagious disease] that walketh [a diseased people walking] in darkness; nor for the destruction [Heb: ruin] that wasteth [Heb: to swell up] at noonday [the hottest part of day].

(Psa 91:7,8) A thousand shall fall [Heb: die, rot, be slain] at thy side, and ten thousand [Heb: an abundance: many millions] at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes [How is that possible? Answer: we who are saved were, previous to this, “raptured”] shalt thou behold [Heb: look intently at: consider] and see the reward of the wicked.

(Psa 91:9-11) Because thou hast made the LORD [Heb: Jehovah], which is my refuge [Heb: shelter], even the most High [Heb: supreme], thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling [Heb: tent, home]. For he shall give his angels [Heb: messengers] charge over thee [How? Through the Bible that leads us and guides us as our moral compass], to keep [Heb: hedge, guard; protect] thee in all thy [Godly] ways [Heb: a road; fig. a course of life or mode of action].

1.    (Psa 34:7) The angel [Heb: messenger] of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him [Heb: that are morally reverent] [i.e., fear the LORD], and delivereth [Heb: equips (for fight), strengthens: arms, armed (soldier), prepares] them.

2.    (2 Cor 10:4-6)  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal [Gk: fleshly], but mighty through God to the pulling down [Gk: demolition; fig. extinction: destruction] of strong holds [Gk: fortifications; castles, fig. arguments];) Casting down [by the corrective Bible (by the Words of God)] imaginations [Gk: conceits], and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought [fallen angel, unclean spirit, devil, (demon) contrary to God] to the obedience of Christ; And having in [Gk: in position] a readiness [Gk: being prepared] to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled [Gk: accomplished, complete, perfect].

(Psa 91:12-13) They [the angel messengers] shall bear thee up [upward] in their hands [Heb: power], lest thou dash [Heb: stumble] thy foot against a stone [and fall down (backslide)]. Thou shalt tread upon [have victory over] the lion [the loud and mighty] and adder [the quiet and deadly]: the young lion and the [old] dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

BECAUSE HE LOVES ME

(Psa 91:14-16) Because he [the believer] hath set his love [Heb: to cling, join, delight in] upon me, therefore will I deliver him [Heb: cause to escape, carry away safe]: I will set him on high [Heb: make lofty, inaccessible; safe, strong], because he hath known [Heb: recognized: acknowledged, perceived, understood] my name [Jesus Christ, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS” Rev 19:16]. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble [Heb: adversity, affliction, distress, tribulation]; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him [Heb: see: discern, have the experience of] my salvation.

Amen
