Shevat 17
Forever Settled
“For ever, O LORD, thy word is SETTLED in
heaven.” (Ps 119:89 KJV, emphasis mine)
There are those of us that have spent some time on
the inside of a courtroom, giving us a little
experience as to the workings of our judicial system. When all of the legal procedures have run
their course, and all that remains is the judge’s decision, stress is
heightened and nerves are frayed.
However, when the gavel comes down, the decision is made, and it is “settled”;
it is finished.
Noah
Webster defines “settled” as “to make certain or permanent, to determine, to
adjust or confirm, to establish, to be free from doubt”[1]. We know that “forever” relates to a time of
infinite duration, or an unending future.
Therefore, from our opening verse, we are able to understand that the
Word of our Elohim is infinitely and permanently established; it is confirmed;
and it is never to change, nor is it
subject to appeal!
“The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but My
words shall by no means pass away.” (Mat 24:35 ISR,
emphasis mine)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. He was in the beginning with Elohim.” (John 1:1 ISR)
“… All flesh is as grass, and all the esteem of man
as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but
the Word of Elohim remains forever.”
(1Pet 1:24-25 ISR, emphasis mine)
