Psalm119: A Study Guide

The languages of the earth. Beautiful, flowing languages, beautiful words and every word built upon letters, symbols. Alphabets forming to create logic, express, emotion, and for us, just as the moment Moses came down with the Ten Commandments…words given us to know the will of God and to know the requirements for staying inside that will.

The I AM in Hebrew, The Alpha and Omega in the Greek, to fit perfectly together to become, I AM Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, which was, and which is to come the Almighty.” Revelation1:8

John1:1: “In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

And the sheer force of the word of Jesus living in us, “But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones.” Jeremiah 20:9

Revealing ALL that is within us, “For the word of God is quick (ALIVE) and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing, even to the dividing asunder (splitting in half) of the soul and the spirit, and the joints and marrow, and is a diviner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

So what about a middle “ground” between the Hebrew and the Greek, a PERFECT guidebook, a “crash” course, if you will, in the Word of God, the power of that word, and how to apply it to our everyday life.

A guidebook of quick verses, verses easily remembered by using the “Alphabet of the Alpha and Omega”.

The “alphabet” he designed for ALL of his children, and one easily understood and learned regardless of their native tongues.

It is true in the soon coming future, in the eternal reign of Jesus Christ, we will all have one language, which I personally believe will be Hebrew, but for now, we know that every dot, every “begat”, and every single detailed description and lineage lines were intentionally written as His Spirit moved upon those who he used to pen it.

It is the little details that we often completely overlook, until he intrigues us by letting a certain word or certain name seem to leap from the pages, igniting our curiosity, to answer the old age question, “Why?”

Soon followed by the classics, “Who?”, “What?”, “When?” and then we seek answers to those mysteries.

Nothing in the Bible compares to the mystery that is Psalm one hundred and nineteen! It contains one hundred and seventy-six verses which are divided into stanzas, each stanza represented by a letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

To unfold this wonderful mystery you will need a copy of the King James Bible, and double check it. Some versions of the New King James Bible still contain the Hebrew but many versions have removed it altogether, but it is impossible to miss because it has the Hebrew character and the name of that character dividing the verses, such as the first group is ” א ALEPH” and it consists of verses one through eight.

So I hope you are digging my groove on it, and I hope you will check it out for yourself, and if you already knew this, disregard it, this is for everyone else who may not.

And of course I can’t give you all one hundred and seventy-six verses, so I wanted to highlight it for you.

The literal “ABC’s” of the word of God and the power it holds. I give you one from each letter, followed by the verse reference number.
