Ps 36 10 Continue your love to those who know you,
your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 May the foot of the proud not come against me,
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 See how the evildoers lie fallen-
thrown down, not able to rise! "
This Psalm carefully teaches that the world remains the eternal kingdom. The kingdom of God is successful because God judges everything according to life and death. The saints are involved in a war between God and Satan. Satan falls on the father of the wicked. God produced all things to give the Saints the greatest freedom to rule and enjoy His creation. He united His sovereign power to overcome all opposition to His creation so that the saints would be free from enslavement by the threats of Satan and His children. By accomplishing salvation, we enter into this relationship by grace. In this new kingdom we enjoy his protection in blessing, all that we are and all that we have represents a gift from God and the curse that all that opposes the kingdom of God is under the power of death and destruction. We enjoy unlimited power to rule in this realm through the words of blessing and cursing. This psalm teaches that we are related to God as his children, who dwell in his house.We, as His children, do not have the power to collect these gifts of blessing and define them according to our understanding. Neither do we have the power to overcome Satan and the wicked. The way we dominate is to utter the pronouncements by rearranging the world according to God's view. We are unable to define the world apart from the declarations of God. The psalmist pronounces this psalm as a divine oracle. The Psalmist is God's ambassador who speaks the reordering of God's eternal kingdom. We must intuitively understand that when we precisely define the world according to our overall view or our predictable way of thinking, it is consistently defined downward. No doubt we demean God and give Satan and the powers of imaginary evil. We do not live in an evil world that is inextricably mixed with good and evil. But there is a line of curse and blessing, worse than we could ever imagine or more beautiful than we could ever imagine, which is strictly enforced by authoritative pronunciations. All reality is adequately judged by life and death. The word of God defines all reality. Everything we sincerely believe in is based on sacred words. All of our conscious thoughts and appropriate actions are official communications. We think according to our definition of the world and tell our story. Our definition is an accurate prophecy of our sustainable future. What we believe about ourselves and what our foreseeable future correctly represents is our exact prophecy. When we kindly receive eternal salvation, we enter the world of prophecy extremely good to imagine. In God's world, bad prophecy is worse than we could imagine, so bad that it cannot promote its reality. And good prophecy is so beautiful that we could not rise to the appreciation of the spontaneous enjoyment of God's gifts.When we obscure this solid line, we inevitably produce pervasive disorder in God's world. The Psalmist rearranges his unified vision to fit the prophet of God. For no one can prophesy unless triggered by authoritative statements. We talk about this divine oracle to reorganize the ideal world according to God's vision. We can say that the good prophet rises behind the declarations of God's blessing through creation and sinks behind the curses of God, ending destructive activity in God's world. By carefully following authoritative claims, he rearranges his overall vision and shapes an orderly world. 1 An oracle is within my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: 5 Your love, O LORD , reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
