LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. (Psalm 119:89)
We know that God’s word is Jesus Christ Himself. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1) The same was in the beginning with God. (John 1:2) God’s words, through our Bible, was breathed to man through God’s Holy Spirit and reveals all we need to know about Jesus Christ, the Saviour of mankind. Is it any wonder that the different versions today try to take away Christ’s deity or try to remove references to His shed blood and work on the cross? Is it any wonder that they try to remove the fact that there is no other way to heaven but through Him?
Psalm 119:89 says that God’s Word is for ever settled in heaven! There is not a book that has ever been written that can lay claim to this, except the holy Scriptures!
God’s Word was settled in the past; it is settled today; and it is settled in the future. We cannot change it because it is settled. Period!
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. (Rev 22:19)
God’s word was, is and continues to be settled in heaven. God never changes – He’s the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. (Hebrews 13:8) Since He never changes and Jesus is the Word according to John 1:1-2, and the Word is settled in heaven, then we must believe that there cannot be 100+ different versions of the Word of God out there. That is why it is so important to believe that God would preserve His Word. Each letter of the Word is so important that there’s not one thing contained in it which will go unnoticed.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (Mat 5:18 )
Why would God consider every little jot and tittle of the Word? Because His Word is settled. It cannot change. It will not change.
Beware of false imitations out there. Satan would love nothing better than to de-throne Christ. That has been his goal from the beginning.
Isaiah. 14:12-14, How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (12) For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: (13) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (14)
If he can remove Christ from the different versions of the Bible out there, then people will believe that Allah, Buddha, and yes Lucifer himself is god and he will take as many souls as he can with him to hell. The devil has already accomplished this through many church leaders who claim that there are many roads to God. That is a lie from the pits of hell! Even the pope has gotten on this platform! This article from Harbinger’s Daily goes into those details:
Would you follow a child’s drawing of a map to go to Orlando, Florida without questioning its accuracy? Why, then, do you follow a religious leader whose spiritual convictions have changed over the years? Those convictions obviously were not based on the Bible but on men’s opinions.
Remember, God’s Word is settled – there’s no changing it even though religious leaders claim differently. Beware, lest you fall into modernism’s trap and become like the world. Your doctrine will be diluted and your testimony will not resemble your Lord and Saviour, but will resemble the god of this world.
O, Revive Us By Thy Word
Daniel W. Whittle
Heav’nly Father, we Thy children,
Gathered round our risen Lord,
Lift our hearts in earnest pleading:
Oh, revive us by Thy Word!
Refrain
Send refreshing, send refreshing,
From Thy presence, gracious Lord!
Send refreshing, send refreshing,
And revive us by Thy Word!
Gracious gales of heav’nly blessing
In Thy love to us afford;
Let us feel Thy Spirit’s presence,
Oh, revive us by Thy Word!
Refrain
Weak and weary in the conflict,
“Wrestling not with flesh and blood,”
Help us, Lord, as faint we falter,
Oh, revive us by Thy Word!
Refrain
With Thy strength, O Master, gird us;
Be our Guide, and be our Guard:
Fill us with Thy Holy Spirit;
Oh, revive us by Thy Word!
Refrain
