Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.-Psalm 68:32-35***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God created the heavens and the earth, and on the 6th day in the beginning, 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, and Adam and Eve heard the voice of the Lord God. Cain and Abel were born to Adam and Eve. The Holy Bible reveals words that the Lord God spoke to Cain. Seth was born to Adam and Eve sometime after Cain killed Abel. Seth was the great-great-great-grandfather of Enoch. Enoch was the great-grandfather of Noah the ark builder. The Holy Bible reveals words that the Lord God spoke to Noah and his sons Shem, Ham and Japheth. Shem was the great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather of Terah. 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 60 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. Esau was Isaac's favorite, and Jacob was Rebekah's favorite. After Jacob obeyed Rebekah, and deceived Isaac, and cheated Esau, and Rebekah learned that Esau planned to kill Jacob, she spoke to Isaac, and Isaac sent Jacob from their home in Canaan to Rebekah's family in Padan Aram, Haran. During Jacob's 7th year in Haran, he was married to Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Rebekah's brother Laban the Syrian (Aramean). Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and daughter Dinah were born to Jacob and Leah. Dan and Naphtali were born to Jacob and Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. Gad and Asher were born to Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. Joseph was the 1st son born to Jacob and Rachel. The Holy Bible reveals words that the Lord God spoke to Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, and Jacob. Several years after Jacob journeyed away from Haran with his family and was living in Canaan, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants, Benjamin was born near Bethlehem to Jacob and Rachel, and Rachel died. When Jacob was 130 years old, he moved with his family from Canaan to Egypt, the country wherein Joseph was second-in-command. The Holy Bible reveals words that the Lord God spoke to Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, and Jacob. In Egypt, Jacob proclaimed Manasseh and Ephraim, the sons born to Joseph and his wife Asenath, to be his own sons. Sometime after 147-year-old Jacob died in Egypt, and Jacob's family buried his body in Egypt, and 110-year-old Joseph and his siblings were dead, their descendants the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. Miriam and her younger brothers Aaron and Moses were born into the tribe of Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, they led the Israelites away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, according to the commands of the Lord God. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, near the region of Mountain Sinai, the Israelites heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them, and the Israelites were afraid. During the 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Miriam the prophetess died and was buried in Kadesh, in the desert wilderness of Zin. Upon Mount Hor, 123-year-old Aaron the high priest died. When Moses went upon Mount Nebo, the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses the prophet died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' aide and successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their descendants. The Holy Bible reveals words that the Lord God spoke to Miriam, Aaron, Moses, and Joshua. Throughout the next 1,400 years, prophets and psalmists were divinely inspired to reveal that:
-The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.-Psalm 18:13
-The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.-Psalm 29:3-5...The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.-Psalm 29:7-9
-God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.-Psalm 46:1...The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.-Psalm 46:6
-The burden of Egypt, Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.-Isaiah 19:1
