Saul's conversation; The Perfect ensample and example of the Imprecations of Psalms

 

Romans 12:19

“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

King James Version (KJV)

The Holy Ghost - the Spirit of Christ speaking through the mouth of Paul declares in Romans 12:19

exactly what he as Saul experienced in

Acts 9 KJB on the road to Damascus.

And that being

God's Vengeance

or 

Divine Justice

Acts 9:4

“And he fel to the earth, and heard a voice saying vnto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?”

1611 King James Version (KJV)

persecute (v.)

mid-15c., persecuten, "to oppress for the holding of an opinion or adherence to a particular creed or mode of worship," from Old French persécuter "pursue, torment, open legal action" (14c.)  "to follow, pursue, hunt down; proceed against,

Greek Strongs G1377 To pursue in a hostile manner given to (suffer).

Acts 9:5

5 And he said, Who art thou Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

This phrase is a metaphor derived from farming. "Pricks" refer to goads, sharp sticks used to urge stubborn oxen in the right direction. To "kick against the pricks" means to resist authority or guidance, causing more harm to oneself. Jesus is essentially telling Saul that his resistance to God's will is futile and only causing him distress.

As I discuss in detail regarding IMPRECATIONS of David. The Lord pressed me to use the conversion of Saul (Paul) as a "PRIME" Example. 

We use case studies and examples of others in our growth as Saints in our walk of SANCTIFICATION.  

1 Corinthians 10:11

 

“Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.”

King James Version (KJV)

Again as over and over we see the King James 

Bible use words that have profound significance. See many examples such as Charity and Love, Ghost and Spirit

Why the King James Bible distinguishes Charity from Love

Messianic Psalms are Vital to our Faith Part 4

ensample

Noun

 a pattern or model for imitation.

example

Noun

Something that is representative of all such things in a group.

The first mention of the word "example" in the KJV is found in John 13:15: "For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you."

The first mention of the word "ensample" in the KJV is found in Philippians 3:17: "Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample."

Note: Philippians 3:17 is an ENSAMPLE of who to follow and observe them. However, Romans 16:17 is an EXAMPLE of whom we are to avoid and destinate.

We open the book of Acts chapter 9 with the following introductory commentary in the 1611: (spelling converted to the 1769 format)

1. Saul going towards Damascus, 4. Is stricken down to earth. 10 Is called to the Apostleship, 16 and is baptized by Ananias. 20. He preacheth Christ boldly. 23. The Jews lay wait to kill him. 29. So do the Grecians, but he escapeth both. 31. The church having rest. 32 Peter healeth Aeneas  of the palsie 36 and restored Tabitha to life. 

Acts Chapter 9 KJB Verse 1 

And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

this phrase is extremely severe to slaughter is a violent form of murdering the innocent with savagery. Saul was full of demonic influence that he thought was righteous ZEAL as he went to the High Priest to get letters of authorization to seek out and seize followers of Jesus Christ in Damascus and bring them to trial in Jerusalem as is written in verse 2.

2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

Note:  These areas are under Roman authority but as we saw in during the time of Jesus the Jews had a way through the Herodian Dynasty of manipulating the Roman government.  It was here in irony we see later that Paul's life was saved when he appealed to Roman law and sought protection by the Roman Centurian to protect his life. 

I believe that Paul was later executed in Rome during the reign of Nero between 64 and 68 CE who either converted to Judaism (according to the Talmud) or was influenced by their charges to sentence Paul to death in the same manner as was Jesus.

Messianic Psalms are Vital to our Faith Part 5 (thethirdheaventraveler.com)

Excerpt:

19Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

My Comment:   The Holy Ghost, The Spirit of Christ himself, speaking through the mouth of David declaring and imprecation.  Call on the Lord to deliver us from our enemies. 

Imprecation is the act of invoking - calling down or praying in earnest, a plea - for evil, calamity upon a person. In essence "DIVINE VENGEANCE" See Oxford English Dictionary page 1390.  

In the imprecatory Psalms David is - Seeking God earnestly to take vengeance on a person.  

We must here understand

Biblical Love and Hatred.

: Note that the author never really distinguishes throughout his study that in essence, an imprecation in the context of biblical doctrine is calling down DIVINE VENGEANCE upon another which harmonizes perfectly with VENGEANCE IS mine saith the Lord. Romans 12:20 KJB. 

Biblical Love and Hatred Harmonized. We are at war Christian. Even so come Lord Jesus Christ #Maranatha #Rapture #Judgement Comes #CCOT (thethirdheaventraveler.com)

: The Greatest Irony imaginable Jacob (Israel) and Esau.... #Judaizers #Zionists #Antichrist (thethirdheaventraveler.com)

God loves the Unrepentant Sinner is NOT Biblical (thethirdheaventraveler.com)

Spelling out our Role in this realm with IMPRECATIONS:

We must know that Vengeance belongs to the Lord:

Romans 12:19

“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

King James Version (KJV)

Romans 12:20

“Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.”

King James Version (KJV)

*Heaping Coals of Fire on his head - literally means to bring that person out of your realm and into the Lords by bringing them into deep remorse and hopefully repentance if they are wrong. If they've been given over to a reprobate mind. Let God deal with them. 

Romans 12:21

“Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”

King James Version (KJV)

HARMONIZING AN IMPRECATION FROM PAUL NOTE THE WORD: "LET" 

"let" verb, and it has various meanings which fit the context of 8 1:,9KJB.

Allowing God to act.

Cause or Make: "Let the cake cool" means allowing or causing something to happen.

Galatians 1:8

“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”

King James Version (KJV)

Galatians 1:9

“As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”

King James Version (KJV)

Colossians 3:6

“For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:”

King James Version (KJV)

Romans 2:5

“But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew 13:30

“Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”

King James Version (KJV)

1 Thessalonians 5:9

“For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,”

20Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

My Comment:   The Holy Ghost, The Spirit of Christ himself, speaking through the mouth of David declaring this world is not our home and we can never seek out man whose breath is in his nostrils but learn to seek the Lord. 

21They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

My Comment:   The Holy Ghost, The Spirit of Christ himself, speaking through the mouth of David declaring the prophecy of Jesus fulfilled in the crucifixion:

This verse is seen as a prophecy fulfilled in the crucifixion, when Jesus was offered vinegar to drink (Matthew 27:34, Mark 15:23, John 19:29).

22Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

My Comment:    The Holy Ghost, The Spirit of Christ himself, speaking through the mouth of David declaring an imprecation. *See imprecation above.

23Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

My Comment:    The Holy Ghost, The Spirit of Christ himself, speaking through the mouth of David declaring an imprecation.* See imprecation above.

24Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

My Comment:    The Holy Ghost, The Spirit of Christ himself, speaking through the mouth of David declaring an imprecation.* See imprecation above.

25Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.

My Comment:    The Holy Ghost, The Spirit of Christ himself, speaking through the mouth of David declaring an imprecation. * See imprecation above.

26For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

My Comment:    The Holy Ghost, The Spirit of Christ himself, speaking through the mouth of David declaring Jesus Christ offering Himself as the sacrifice for Sin on the Cross. 

DOCTRINE MATTERS: Jesus Christ did NOT Become Sin for us; He was MADE TO BE SIN for us. (thethirdheaventraveler.com)

Hebrews 10:12

“But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;”

King James Version (KJV)

1 Thessalonians 2:15

“Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:”

King James Version (KJV)

27Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.

My Comment:   The Holy Ghost, The Spirit of Christ himself, speaking through the mouth of David declaring what Paul would write in Romans Chapter One KJB  Verses 17-

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

28Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

My Comment:   The Holy Ghost, The Spirit of Christ himself, speaking through the mouth of David declaring a powerful prayer of IMPRECATION.  * See imprecation above.
