Psalm 89 consists of 52 verses, verses 46-52 are given below:
How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. Blesssed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.-Psalm 89:46-52***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God created Adam, the 1st man. The Lord God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, and the Lord God made Adam's wife Eve, the mother of all living, after taking a part out of Adam. Adam lived 930 years. Methuselah, the great-great-great-great-great-grandson of Adam and Eve, lived 969 years. Methuselah's grandson Noah the ark builder lived 950 years. Noah's son Shem lived 600 years, and Shem's son Arphaxad lived 438 years. Arphaxad's great-great-great-great-great-grandson Terah lived 205 years and died and was buried in Haran, in northern Mesopotamia. Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai) were born to Terah. Isaac was born to 100-year-old Abraham and 90-year-old Sarah. When Isaac was 40 years old, he was married to Rebekah, Abraham and Sarah's grandniece. Fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born to 60-year-old Isaac and Rebekah. Sarah (Sarai) lived 127 years, Abraham lived 175 years, and Isaac lived 180 years. In Padan Aram, Jacob was married to Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Rebekah's brother Laban the Syrian (Aramean). Reuben was the 1st son born to Jacob and Leah, and Joseph was the 1st son born to Jacob and Rachel. During Jacob's 20th year in Haran, he began journeying with his family to Canaan. Benjamin was born near Bethlehem to Jacob and Rachel, and Rachel died. When Joseph was at least 17 years old, his brothers sold him to merchants traveling to Egypt and led Jacob to believe that Joseph was killed by a wild beast. Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, proclaimed Joseph second-in-command when Joseph was 30 years old. When Jacob was 130 years old, he moved with his family from Canaan to Egypt. After 147-year-old Jacob died in Egypt, Jacob's family buried his body in the same cave in Canaan wherein the bodies of Sarah, Abraham, Rebekah, Isaac, and Leah were buried. Over 700 years after 110-year-old Joseph and his siblings were dead, David was born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. Over a decade after David was born, Samuel, the priest, prophet and judge from the tribe of Levi, anointed David to reign as king over the Israelites in the Promised Land, according to the commands of the Lord God. When David was 30 years old, he began to reign only over the tribe of Judah in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. When David was 37 1/2 years old, he became the 2nd king to rule over all of the Israelites. Before 70-year-old David died and his body was buried in the City of David, Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to rule over all of the Israelites. Solomon reigned 40 years, died, and was buried in the City of David. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to rule over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Israel was the northern nation. Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city, and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Rehoboam began ruling when he was 41 years old, reigned 17 years, died, and his body was buried in the City of David. Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-grandson Joash (Jehoash) was the 7th king to rule Judah. Jehoiada was a priest from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. Jehoiada's wife Jehosheba (Jehoshabeath) kept 1-year-old Joash alive when Joash's siblings were being killed by their grandmother Athaliah, and Jehoiada and Jehosheba kept Joash hidden within the bedchambers in the temple of the Lord during the 6 years that Athaliah ruled Judah. After Jehoiada, his sons and those with them presented Joash as the rightful ruler, Joash was crowned and anointed and became the 7th king to rule Judah, and Athaliah was killed. Notably, Jehoiada taught Joash to obey the commands of the Lord God. After 130-year-old Jehoiada died, his body was buried near the bodies of the kings in the City of David, and Joash became an idolater. Joash reigned 40 years, and was killed, and his body was buried in the City of David. Over 700 years after Amaziah, the son born to Joash and Jehoaddan, became the 8th king to rule Judah, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, were born. John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Levi to Zechariah (Zacharias) the priest and his wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth). Jesus the Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Elizabeth's relative Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah, the tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ were born, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world, and testified that Jesus is the Son of God. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Less than 3 1/2 years after Jesus was baptized, Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot the disciple and apostle, and Jesus was arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 26:127:23, Deuteronomy 31:34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
