My enemies say the worst of me: ‘When will he die and his name perish?’ When one comes to see me, he speaks without sincerity; his heart stores up malice; when he leaves he gives voice to it outside. All my foes whisper together against me; against me they imagine the worst.
My tears are my food day and night, as they say to me day after day, “Where is your god?”
For you, O God, are my strength, Why do you keep me so far away? Why must I go about in mourning, with the enemy oppressing me?
Yet now you have cast us off and put us in disgrace, and you go not forth with our armies. You have let us be driven back by our foes; those who hated us plundered us at will, you marked us out as sheep to be slaughtered; among the nations you scattered us.
My heart overflows with a goodly theme; as I sing my ode to the king, my tongue is nimble as the pen of a skillful scribe.
Great is the Lord and wholly to be praised in the city of our god
For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. They saw it, and so they marveled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
Each morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, and uproot from the city of the Lord all evildoers.

I think with the psalms we have just made them fit into something that happened. Interpreted them as refering to something that happened that year, just like with Nostradamus's predictions which were all so vague that they could've meant anything.
7. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked
A while back I learned of the possibility that each psalm represents events of a year in the perspective of the Jews. This spans from the years 1901 to 2050 with the psalm number corresponding to the year after 1900.
First I took a look at the psalms that would’ve pointed to the holocaust, and what I found was a bit shocking. Such as from psalm 41:
My enemies say the worst of me: ‘When will he die and his name perish?’ When one comes to see me, he speaks without sincerity; his heart stores up malice; when he leaves he gives voice to it outside. All my foes whisper together against me; against me they imagine the worst.
And psalm 42:
My tears are my food day and night, as they say to me day after day, “Where is your god?”
And psalm 43:
For you, O God, are my strength, Why do you keep me so far away? Why must I go about in mourning, with the enemy oppressing me?
And psalm 44:
Yet now you have cast us off and put us in disgrace, and you go not forth with our armies. You have let us be driven back by our foes; those who hated us plundered us at will, you marked us out as sheep to be slaughtered; among the nations you scattered us.
Yet on the year WW2 ends the tone changes:
My heart overflows with a goodly theme; as I sing my ode to the king, my tongue is nimble as the pen of a skillful scribe.
I’ve also seen other events written, though not as clear as those of the Holocaust, such as in 48, the year Israel was returned to the Jews:
Great is the Lord and wholly to be praised in the city of our god
It also speaks of other nations unhappy about Israel returning:
For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. They saw it, and so they marveled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
In 2001, the corresponding psalm seems to speak of destroying evil doers:
Each morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, and uproot from the city of the Lord all evildoers.
This is most likely the response to 9/11.
As interesting as this is, I still cannot look further due to my lack of knowledge on a year to year basis on events affecting the Jews. Even then the psalms are a bit vague and difficult to interpret.
Thus it seems quite difficult to predict anything in the future from them.
The one that really got me was Psalm 91 especially 91:7- 8.
7. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked
That was the year of Desert storm. It was the first televised war, where we sat infront of our TV's at night watching Peter Jennings and the war.
Someone else mentioned that the Jews have a civil and religious calendar. One starts in March and one starts in September.
.
Having said that an interesting Psalm is the beginning of Psalm 107 which would coincide with 2007/2008...... very interesting if you believe in the rapture.

[Wrong. Jews have one calendar. The calendar itself starts in Nissan, the month of Passover and is March or April and the Jewish New Year starts in Tishri which is September to October. Again, there is one calendar.

The first flaw in your statement would be that Psalm 107 would coincide with 2007/2008. This is the Jewish year, 5765. Either way, Psalm 107 is used by Rabbis as the basis for requiring a special blessing thanking G-d from those who have survived the desert, those released from prison, seafarers, and those who were seriously ill. How does that say rapture? I wish Christians were required a Jewish foundation.
We have 2 problems here but we are both saying the same thing concerning calendars.
biblicalholidays.com...
There are two calendars in the Bible, the civil calendar (Genesis 1:1 to Exod. 12) and the religious calendar. The first month in the civil calendar is Tishri starting in the fall, about September. The seventh month is Nisan (Aviv) starting in the spring, about the time of our March and April.
God changed the civil calendar to the religious calendar in Exodus 12:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. So, now Nisan is the first month of the religious calendar and Tishri is the seventh month (Exod. 13:4). This book starts with the first feast of the religious calendar, Passover.
It is very interesting that the number of days between Nisan and Tishri is always the same. Because of this, the time from the first major festival Passover in Nisan to the last major festival Feast of Tabernacles in Tishri is always the same.
The next problem concerns the prophecies that maybe in the psalms. I have read J.R. Church's book and find it interesting and something to study the Bible about this matter.
The problem here is the theory on these prophecies in the psalms begins at the psalms and what book of the Bible it is. The book of Psalms is the 19th book in the Bible.
when looking through each psalm you place a 19 in front of the psalm number Ex. Psalm27 would be 1927, Psalm44 would be 1944 and so on. When you get to psalm100 it would change to the year 2000.
Then verses in that particular numbered psalm deal with Jews and possibly the entire world at that time and what they endured. There are alot of things that are not just coincidences., I'll try to list some tomorrow.
These prophecies in the psalms are dealing with the way Jews number say the year 5755.
We are saying there seems to be info found in the Psalms of the bible that are dealing with what has happened from 1901-possibly throughpsalm 150 which would represent 2050
If you believe in the rapture of the church before the tribulation, read the first several verses of Psalm 107 which if correct would coincide with 2007/2008 because of the spring as one starting point and fall as another starting point.
What I'm saying is the psalms had definite meaning and knowledge from God in them that were used in ancient times and we can get the same value and lessons as people 3000 years ago did. But we are adding the belief that the psalms have a dual application. There are things hidden inthem that pertains to the 20th century and now the start of the 21st century.

I'm a Jew. Do you think that I believe in the rapture, the church or the tribulation? And frankly, I wish G-d would come and suck y'all up because that would be the definition of heaven.
Your biased one way and I'm biased another way.
And it appears as you are also filled with some hatred.
People will have to read for themselves and decide for themselves.
You say you'll be glad when christians are gone.
This attutude will create the environment for the antichrist to be accepted for awhile.
Christians will be glad to go and be free from the struggles and influence of evil. We desire to be changed completely. Remember what we said concerning Christ and His truth after we are gone.

Jesus wasn't the promised moshiach. I hate to break it to you. You seem to gloss over the facts that I have laid out already a bajillion times. How do you reconcile that? Please show for each one listed below how Jesus applies.
You have laid out alot of verses. Would it really matter if I commented on them all?
You don't believe Jesus is the Savior, I do. Time will tell won't it.
I'll comment on them as soon as I can, although patience doesn't seem to be a fruit you have an abundance of.

I'm still waiting for some answers. 10. Do you understand that Jews do not believe in the rapture, the tribulation, Jesus, the church, etc?
11. Why would 107 be magically about the church when you previously stated that they are about things happening to Jews?
