PSALMS 106 AND BEYOND
 
As I was looking at the Prophecy in the News telecast Mr. J. R. Church said in Psalm 106 that King David pleaded before God that he would be apart of the great resurrection which J. R. tended to believe could be a reference to the Rapture of the Church.  He looked like he was trying to contain himself because he was excited.  As I was reading Psalm 106 I thought there could be two references to this. Verses 4 and 5 state " Remember me, oh Lord, with the favor that Thou bearest unto Thy people: O visit me with Thy salvation; (5) That I may see the good of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance.  This sounds like the Rapture.  In Psalm 106:47 the Bible says " Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto Thy holy name, and to triumph in Thy praise."  I think you could consider verse 47 being a reference to the Rapture; however, verses 4 and 5 are so blunt that I don't know how anybody else could interpret that. I think we always have to leave these interpretations a little open ended because we could never be 100 % sure.
 
J. R. Church felt that Psalm 107 was talking about a mass exodus of Jewish people going back to Israel because of a Messiah figure.  He believes Israel is in the fifth year of a Sabbatical cycle.  The year 2008 would start the new cycle.  After Psalm 106 a new section of Psalms start from 107 to 150.  For some reason he believes the year by year ends after Psalm 106. I don't necessarily agree with this.  He just spoke in general terms and said the tone of these Psalms is leading to Rapture and Tribulation. Of course let me just add if you don't understand the principal of the year by year Psalms J.R in the past went on to pretty much prove that Psalm 1 was a reference prophetically to 1901, Psalm 2 (1902), Psalm 17(1917), and so on.
 
He felt ( J. R. Church) there was a reference to the Antichrist in Psalm 109.  If this is chronological that could be the middle of the 7 year Tribulation Period.  I was talking to another expert and she said the sun goes back to its' original position of creation in the year 2009.  This sounds like the sun is taking its' rightful place in the Solar System.  The Son of God, Jesus Christ takes His rightful place in the middle of the 7 year Tribulation Period.  At least I have read this more than once in many of the sound Biblical commentaries on the Book of Revelation.
 
As I was watching this telecast and listening to this expert I felt my spirit verify that Jesus Christ is indeed coming very soon in the Rapture of the Church.  Any thinking person would accept Him into his or her hearts as their very own personal Savior because the time is getting shorter and shorter.  Hopefully we will do all we can now as the time of our Lord's return becomes closer and closer.  How close are we to the Rapture of the Church?  Only time will tell.
