A loving God invites His people to pour out our pain & frustration before Him

[Tang Wei Ping]

Psalm 102:8 :
Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

Historical Context:
Psalm 102 is traditionally seen as a prayer of someone who is deeply afflicted, possibly during the time when the Israelites were in exile in Babylon. The Jewish people were far from their homeland, surrounded by nations that worshiped other gods and had no respect for the God of Israel. The enemies’ taunts may have reflected a broader sense of humiliation for a people who were once proud and free but now found themselves captive in a foreign land. In this historical context, the mockery could also symbolize the taunts of those who believed that Israel’s God had abandoned them. For the Israelites, this ridicule was not only personal but also struck at the heart of their identity as God’s chosen people.

What This Verse Means for Today’s Christian:
Many people today know what it feels like to be mocked or misunderstood, whether it’s in school, at work, or even within their own families. This verse is a reminder that God understands the pain of being the target of others’ cruelty. For Christians, this passage offers comfort in knowing that they can bring even their deepest hurts and emotional wounds to God. This verse encourages believers to seek God when they feel beaten down by the words of others. It reassures them that God is attentive to their pain and that He is a refuge even when the world feels harsh and hostile.

How This Verse Relates to a Loving God:
The psalmist’s honest plea reveals that God is loving and compassionate, even when we are overwhelmed by the cruelty of others. A loving God invites His people to pour out their pain and frustration before Him, knowing that He cares. The fact that God includes verses like this in the Bible shows that He wants His children to be honest with Him, especially when they are suffering. God is not indifferent to our pain; instead, He draws near to those who are hurting.

How This Verse Connects to Jesus Christ:
Jesus experienced this same kind of mockery and rejection, especially in the final days before His crucifixion. In Matthew 27:29-31, we read that soldiers mocked Jesus, placed a crown of thorns on His head, and spat on Him. He was ridiculed not just as a man but as the Son of God. The crowds jeered at Him while He was on the cross, saying, “He saved others, but he can’t save himself” (Matthew 27:42). Jesus endured mockery and suffering so that He could fully identify with our pain. In Hebrews 4:15, we are reminded that Jesus understands our weaknesses because He was tempted and suffered as we do, yet He was without sin. This connection shows that Jesus can empathize with the psalmist’s cry and with our own experiences of being ridiculed or mistreated.

Questions for Reflection:
Have we ever been in a situation where others have mocked or ridiculed us? How did we respond? How can we find comfort in knowing that God understands the pain of being taunted and mistreated? What does this verse teach us about being honest with God regarding our deepest hurts? How can we support others who are experiencing ridicule or rejection? How does knowing that Jesus was mocked and ridiculed help us when we face similar struggles?

This verse is a powerful reminder that God is not distant from our pain. He sees the hurt caused by others and invites us to bring those wounds to Him. Through Jesus, who endured the ultimate mockery and rejection, we find a Savior who understands our struggles and offers us comfort and hope.

Prayer for Psalm 102:27 :
“But You are the same, and Your years will never end.”

Praying through Psalm 102:27:
Our prayer:
Heavenly Father, how quickly life's difficulties can cause us to despair in our heart, and yet You are the same God Whose years never come to an end. Thank You that in Christ, we have been given sufficient grace to endure to the end and that You use the troubles and trials of life to bring us into a closer walk with Yourself. Keep us looking to You, recalling Your eternal existence, changeless character, and never-ending mercy which is new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness. In Jesus' name, AMEN.

Tang Wei Ping, we understand that you are going through a difficult time, feeling the pain and frustration of being mocked and ridiculed. We want to remind you that God is a loving and compassionate Father who invites you to pour out your hurts before Him. As we read in Psalm 102:8, "Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me." Even in the midst of such trials, God is attentive to your pain and offers Himself as a refuge.

Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" If you have not already, consider placing your faith in Jesus Christ, for He is the only way to the Father.

In the historical context, the Israelites were in exile, surrounded by nations that did not respect their God. They were taunted and humiliated, much like you might be feeling now. But God did not abandon them, and He will not abandon you. He draws near to those who are hurting, and He wants you to be honest with Him about your pain.

Jesus Himself experienced mockery and rejection. In Matthew 27:29-31 WEB, we read how Jesus was mocked, spat upon, and ultimately crucified. He endured this suffering to identify with our pain and to offer us salvation. He understands your weaknesses and struggles, as Hebrews 4:15 WEB reminds us, "For we don't have a high priest who can't be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin."

Let us pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we lift up Tang Wei Ping to You, asking for Your comfort and strength in their time of need. Lord, they are hurting, feeling the sting of mockery and ridicule. We pray that they would find solace in Your unfailing love and compassion. Remind them that You are a refuge, always available and attentive to their pain. Help them to pour out their frustrations to You, knowing that You care deeply for them.

Lord, we also pray that Tang Wei Ping would know the saving power of Jesus Christ. If they have not already, we pray that they would place their faith in Jesus, the only name by which we can be saved. Help them to see that Jesus understands their struggles, having endured mockery and rejection Himself.

In Jesus' name, we pray for healing, comfort, and a renewed faith. We ask that You would guide Tang Wei Ping through this difficult time, drawing them closer to You. Help them to find their identity in You, knowing that they are Your beloved child. Give them the strength to endure and the hope that comes from knowing You.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Be encouraged, Tang Wei Ping. God is with you, and He understands your pain. Trust in Him, and He will see you through this difficult time.

"The Jewish people found themselves far from their homeland, surrounded by nations that worshiped different gods and showed little respect for the God of Israel."

In the context of the Old Testament scriptures, 'Hebrews' is the more accurate term for these people, rather than 'Jews.' Moses was a Hebrew, and Jacob, a Hebrew patriarch, later became known as Israel. Job is the oldest recorded book in the Bible, and most theologians believe he was a Gentile. Daniel and his friends were referred to as 'Hebrew boys.' Over the decades, the scriptures have been altered to fit a new narrative, with many people remaining unaware of these changes. Documented evidence of this has existed since the 1960s, if not earlier. Jews are not the chosen people of God. Most of them don't believe in the Messiah. Those who believe in Jesus Christ as the risen Messiah, God's Son, will be under the saving grace of the cross on which he was crucified.

Many non-believing Jews (mainly those who say they are but are of the Synagogue of Satan) claim the Pentateuch written by Moses is their Torah. They also follow what is called the Talmud. Both are dangerous and should be avoided. Paul wrote the letter to the Galatians to persuade the Jews to come out of Judaism. Judaism is not related to the tribe of Judah. This is another form of deception spreading across the nations.

Jesus was from the tribe of Judah and was a Nazarene from Galilee.

• • Religious connotation
    "Jew" has a stronger religious connotation than "Hebrew". "Jew" refers to people who follow Judaism, while "Hebrew" can refer to non-Jewish people or descendants, or to a language.
    
    
  • Historical context
    The terms "Hebrew", "Israelite", and "Jew" can refer to the same people, but the term used depends on the historical context. For example, people were called Hebrews in the early centuries, Israelites when they had a country, and Jews after they were exiled.
    
    
  • Secular Zionism
    In the late 19th century, secular Zionists used the term "Hebrew" to refer to the "New Jew", a strong, independent, and self-confident secular national group. After the establishment of Israel, the term "Hebrew" was replaced with "Jew" or "Israeli".
    
  The Hebrews were a Semitic people of the Middle East who originated in the early 2nd millennium BC. They were descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Hebrews were known for their religion, Judaism, which was the religious root of Christianity and Islam.

No, you are incorrect.

Wouldn't you do everything possible to learn about a loving Father and His Son, who was sanctified and taught before being sent from heaven to earth to save us while you still have breath?

I cherish the word of God, but I am troubled by the changes made to it throughout the decades, including the people and nations. Even in the thick, old commentary I found at the local college's King's Library, the theologians forward spoke about the difficulty they had in maintaining the integrity of the scriptures because some Calvinists wanted to make changes and additions. You can see the struggle throughout all the readings in every book, but with discernment and extensive further research, you can mark off what you don't agree with.

The scriptures are full of rich history and priceless gems of men and women who sacrificed so much of themselves for the sake of the gospel of Christ.

Daniel, Moses Jacob, Job, and many others were Hebrews, Aramaic, or Gentiles. Torah followers try to convince people that Jews were the chosen people of God, and were present at the time of Moses (this is why they have tried to steal the Pentateuch and claim it as their Torah-a piece of Rot), but they were not there. This issue has infiltrated the scriptures and the church, misleading millions of people away from the true lineage and knowledge of God's Son Jesus.

Telling people they will be saved by acknowledging Jews are the chosen race is a lie. I have confronted many people about this, and some have argued that the Jews are the Keepers of the Scriptures. That same person also believes Jesus is a Jew. Somehow, our believing lives have been reduced to limited access to God and His word because of keepers. You do know how this sounds, right? We would be in more severe trouble if the scriptures were reduced to one tribe. Consider the implications of ego and selfishness in that statement.

Thankfully, many of the old parchments have been kept intact by historians and scribes, some of who may be Jews. Some people won't talk to me about it at all. I think people choose to believe in Jews rather than in Jesus because they don't want to do the work and they like the defiling behavior that their synagogues have brought upon the land than believing in a God who loves and cares for them. A God who wants us to have repentance, reconciliation, relationship, better control over our members, patience, love, sound mind, and wise counsel. He is good all of the time. Nobody at any time has seen God nor would they ever see him defile a place like the synagogues have. He exists and was resurrected so that He might fulfill all scripture.

Do you understand? The Synagogue of Satan is here to defile humanity and then destroy it. This is the very synagogue that owns mass media, documents the Talmud and Torah as their scriptures, and does not accept Jesus as the Messiah.

Jesus was conceived in the Holy Spirit, not by the seed of man. A Galilean from the tribe of Judah.

Many of us who recognize the difference may not matter as much to those who believe the lies the media has chosen to tell.

God notices even when a sparrow falls from the sky. Are we not worth much more than a sparrow? Matthew 10:29-31 (ESV): "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

The distinctions between "Hebrews," "Israelites," and "Judeans" can sometimes be nuanced, but they all connect to the broader identity of the people of Israel.

Hebrew: Often used to refer to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, particularly in the context of the early patriarchal period and the Exodus.

Aramaic: Refers to the language that became widely spoken in the Near East, especially after the Babylonian exile. Portions of the Old Testament, like parts of Daniel and Ezra, are written in Aramaic.

Gentile: A term used to refer to non-Israelite people or nations. It signifies anyone who is not part of the Israelite community.

Israelite: Refers to the descendants of Jacob (also known as Israel) and encompasses all twelve tribes of Israel.

None of us are to be led to the Jews for Salvation. They will not save us. The Greeks will not save us. The Gentiles will not save us. Only one name that is above all names, Jesus Christ, can save those who call upon His name.

I found a translation that actually describes the people in Daniel 3:12 as Judeans (Judah)-Hebrews/Israelites, and not Jews.

However, I do not know full well if this is their intent in the description.

Peshitta Holy Bible Translated

There are here men, Judeans, whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babel: Shadrak, Mishak, and Abednego. Those men have not esteemed you, oh King, and they do not serve your god, and they do not worship the image of gold that you have set up!”

If you haven't listened to or read this book, I highly recommend it. It will help you with your doctrine.
