The Amazing Hidden Prophecy In Psalm 108, and the War on Terror - Are They Connected?

By Helena Lehman
http://pillar-of-enoch.com


August 30, 2007 - Many people are filled with anxiety today, wondering what is going to happen in regard to the war on terror, and America’s place in it, as well as the part the Middle East nations will play in upcoming world events.

In that regard, the God of Israel has hidden much in Scripture about this very time in history. However, few scholars seem to be aware of the hidden prophecies in the Book of Psalms attributed to King David. For thousands of years, the Psalms have primarily been seen as praise and worship songs, with only a few directly prophetic psalms like Psalm 22, which clearly pertains to Christ’s First Advent. For this reason, few books on End Time events discuss these prophecies.

In my book, “The Language of God in Prophecy” (read about it at http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Prophecy/), I show how many Psalms - especially the Hallel Psalms 110 through 118 - may be directly related to global prophetic events occurring in the years 2010 through 2018. These nine psalms appear to describe unfolding events that will usher in the most terrible time in world history outsde of the Great Flood: the seven-year Great Tribulation! My book on prophecy gives a thrilling glimpse into future world events, even though I neglected to look at Psalm 108, which is directly connected to the years 2008 through 2009.

If I had looked at Psalm 108 closely while writing my book, it would have added greatly to my prophetic interpretation of what the Hallel Psalms may mean in regard to the West’s ongoing war on Terror. In this article, I would therefore like to explain what this Psalm might foretell for the United, States, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and the rest of the world in the next two years leading up to 2010 - a year signaled out in several prophetic channels.

Throughout Psalm 108, there are many terms that apply to nations and people groups in the past, as well as the present and future. What is doubly thrilling about this is that all the nations mentioned are directly involved with the current, globally felt war against Terrorism. To show how Psalm 108 reveals this, abridged portions of its thirteen stanzas will be quoted, followed by interpretations of what people groups and events these verses pertain to.

Let’s begin with the first seven stanzas:

“O God (Elohim), my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise… Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn. I will praise You, O LORD (Yahweh)… among the nations… Be exalted, O God (Elohim), above the heavens, and Your glory above all the earth; That Your beloved (i.e. Jerusalem) may be delivered, save with Your right hand, and hear me. God (Elohim) has spoken in His holiness: ‘I will rejoice; I will divide (or separate) Shechem (a city of refuge in Ephraimite territory which now refers to the Palestinian allotment of land in the West Bank) and measure out (i.e. set apart) the Valley of Succoth (part of Gad’s ancient territory - refers to the Palestinian occupied Gaza Strip).” -Psalm 108:1-7 (NKJ)

Fascinatingly, one of the two portions of land that have been portioned out to the Palestinians is the West Bank, which surrounds Jerusalem on three sides. This portion of land is called Shechem in Psalm 108, and it was rich pastureland when Jacob’s sons tended their father’s flocks there. It was near Shechem that Joseph made his fateful trip out into the fields to check on the welfare of his brothers, only to be beaten, imprisoned, and sold into slavery by them (Genesis 37:13-28). It was also in Shechem where Joseph was later buried.

Interestingly, the story of Joseph’s slavery, and later rise to power in Egypt echoes the current conflict between the West, and the Muslim nations. Perhaps this is why Joseph’s tomb is located in Shechem, or the West Bank, and why the Palestinians barbarically destroyed his tomb in 2003. As shown in my book “The Language of God in Humanity” (read about it at http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Humanity/), Joseph’s two sons Ephraim and Manasseh would come to represent two powerful Gentile nations in the Last Days: The United States (Ephraim), and the United Kingdom (Manasseh).

The Scripture “I will divide (or separate) Shechem” directly states that it is God’s Will that there should be a separation of the West Bank from the rest of Israel through the auspices of the United States, United Kingdom, and United Nations! In double fulfillment of this, the West Bank is now separated, or divided by political strife as well since it was set up as a secular democratic state, but was quickly overrun by fundamentalist Islamic terrorist groups.

Even more fascinating is the fact that “the Valley of Sukkoth” in the preceding Scripture may be referring to the Gaza Strip, which is indeed measured out, or set apart from Israel and the West Bank! These two sections of land were recently given to the Palestinians in order to secure peace with them, and the rest of the Middle East. However, this grand gesture of generosity by Israel has failed miserably in winning support and friendship from the Palestinians, or other Muslim nations.

The reason this modern bid at peace is failing is bound up in the past, and directly relates to the seemingly perpetual blood feuds between Isaac and Ishmael, and Jacob and Esau. It is also tied to the failure of the Israelites to make any lasting peace with the hated Philistines, and Amalekites after the Exodus, and the conquest of Canaan.

Intriguingly, the next two stanzas of Psalm 108 tell us what nations are intimately involved with, or opposed to this dividing up of Israel in an effort to bring peace to the region. It also states which nations are under God’s current control, or acting on His behalf, and also which ones are the targets of His wrath:

“Gilead (i.e. the grandson of Manasseh, likely referring to Canada today) is Mine; Manasseh (the United Kingdom) is Mine; Ephraim (the United States) also is the “helmet for My head” (or chief stronghold); Judah (the nation of ISRAEL) is My lawgiver. Moab (Syria, Iraq, and Iran) is My washpot; over Edom (Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and possibly Yemen and Oman) I will cast My shoe; over Philistia (Lebanon, Syria, Palestinian territories) I will triumph.’ ” -Psalm 108:8-9 (NKJ)

This portion of Scripture indicates that the Western nations with the most troops in Iraq and Afghanistan today, and those most closely allied with Israel today in friendship - the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada - are doing God’s will in the Middle East. So, no matter what people in these countries may think of their current political leaders, or government decisions concerning the War on Terror, these governments are (most likely unwittingly) acting on God’s behalf right now, though I must strongly emphasize here that this situation will change dramatically when the Antichrist becomes leader of the West in Europe sometime during, or after the predicted war described in Psalm 108.

The remaining portion of Psalm 108 tells us that the Western nations allied to Israel are going to have a major military show down with the Islamic terrorists allied against them, which include those living in Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. Now based on my interpretation of Psalms 110 through 118 in “The Language of God in Prophecy”(read about it at http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Prophecy/), this war will likely be waged for two to three years, or until just before the Rapture of the True Church - which could occur in 2010 through 2012 AD. Furthermore, based on the final stanza of Psalm 108, the armies of the West will not be able to defeat their Terrorist enemies unless the people of the West (particularly the USA) openly call upon the God of Israel to help them:

“Who will bring me into the strong (or fortified) city (i.e. Babylon; a.k.a. Iraq - with its many US-built military bases surrounding it)? Who will lead me (in)to Edom (Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and possibly Yemen, and Oman)? Is it not You, O God (Elohim), who cast us off? And You, O God (Elohim), who did not go out with our armies? (OR: Elohim, will You cast us off? Elohim, will You abandon our armies?) Give us help from trouble, for the help of man is useless. Through God (Elohim) we will do valiantly, for it is He who shall tread down our enemies.” -Psalm 108:10-13 (NKJ)

In this final section of Psalm 108, the passage which reads: “it is He who shall tread down our enemies” suggests that God will miraculously intervene, and bless the West with a temporary victory in the Middle East. Furthermore, the lamentations and pleas to God in Psalm 109 - the psalm tied to events in late 2009 through 2010 - indicates that this war will lead to both suffering, and great spiritual revival (as witnessed in this psalm of prayer and lamentation) in the land of Israel, and the countries allied to it:

“But you, O Sovereign LORD (Yahweh), deal well with me for your name's sake; out of the goodness of your love, deliver me. For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. I fade away like an evening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust. My knees give way from fasting; my body is thin and gaunt.” - Psalm 109:21-24 (NIV)

Psalm 109 also suggests that the resolution of this war may lead to a much greater openness among Jews and Arabs to hear the Gospel, and be saved. Perhaps the miraculous events leading to this short-lived victory of Israel and the West against the Arabs will spur this revival, and the sharing of the Good News of the Kingdom of God with all of Abraham’s descendents through Ishmael and Isaac in preparation for the Rapture, and Great Tribulation:

“Help me, O LORD my God (oh Yahweh my Elohim); save me in accordance with your love. Let them know that it is your hand, that you, O LORD (Yahweh), have done it.” “With my mouth I will greatly extol the LORD (Yahweh); in the great throng I will praise him. For he stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save his life from those who condemn him.” - Psalm 109:26-27, 30-31 (NIV)

Could this worldwide time of peace and revival be the result of a peace treaty between Israel and the Arab world that will be signed with the diplomatic help of a politician who either represents, or will become the Antichrist? Based on other clues in Scripture, this peace treaty will likely allow the Jews to build a new Temple adjacent to the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. But that, my friend, is another story.

The Heavenly Signs On My Birthday - What Do They Mean?
By Helena Lehman
August 21, 2007


A while ago, I promised to present an article about the heavenly signs that were present when I was born, and to explain how doing this differs from common Astrology. At last, I’ve found some time to do so, and this article is the result. I hope you will prayerfully read it, and see how the heavenly signs are always in agreement with what the Bible says about the life of every believer.

Viewing our heavenly signs at birth using Sacred Astronomy is different from Astrology in the way that the planets and Zodiac signs are viewed. In fact, contrary to Astrology’s claims, each planet and sign has a godly, biblical, and messianic application. This is an intrinsic part of Sacred Astronomy, but is NEVER mentioned in the Pagan form of Astrology popularized today.

When I look at the heavens visible when I was born using Sacred Astronomy, I can see many distressing and wonderful things that appear to be totally true about me, and my life, and which never appeared in any Natal Horoscope interpretation I had received prior to becoming a born-again Christian in 1987.

First of all, I was surprised to discover that - contrary to conventional Astrology’s claim that I have a Leo Sun sign - that the Sun was centered in Cancer when I was born. I saw many other interesting things in the sky on August 6th, 1957 - with Chicago Illinois at 1:14 AM as a focal point - that I was never told about in conventional applications of Astrology, such as the following:

At the moment of my birth, Taurus was my Ascendant Sign on the eastern horizon, with the Pleiades just above the horizon. Taurus is a powerful sign representing Yahshua’s blood sacrifice on the Cross, and His New Covenant with mankind. Meanwhile, the Pleiades represent the Seven Churches of the Book of Revelation who are counting on the blood of Christ to save them from sin and death forever. Could this mean that I was destined to preach to the Seven Churches about the meaning of our New Covenant with Christ, just as I am now?

In addition, the Moon and the planet Saturn were visible on the opposite side of the Zodiac. There, the Sabbath-Rest planet Saturn was squarely in the satanic sign of Scorpio, probably indicating that my life would see very little rest, or peace. Because of spiritual turmoil, physical illness, and emotional strife, I have never had a truly peaceful, or love-filled existence. As a result, it has been a super challenge staying true to God’s Word, as well as getting my books finished.

However, there was also a three-quarters full Moon hovering under Scorpio’s decan Ophiuchus, the Strong Man who is wrestling with a giant serpent called Serpens. Ophiuchus represents Christ subduing Satan forever on the Cross, and it may indicate that I would accept Christ’s sacrifice for me on the Cross, but also that I would struggle with Satanic attacks on myself throughout life, and ultimately triumph over them because of what God had chosen to accomplish through me in life.

When the Sun rose on my birthday, it appeared in the sign of Cancer, with the planet Uranus in conjunction with the Beehive Cluster in Cancer. Due to this, I believe that the meaning of Cancer is partly connected to my spiritual personality, and level of discipleship to God. Cancer represents a sheep pen filled with believers in Yahweh and His Son - both Jews and Gentiles who love Yahshua, and see each other as fellow workers in God’s everlasting Kingdom of Grace. Now, Uranus is aligned with the Beehive Cluster, which was also called “the Manger,” and represents Christ as the Bread of Life, and Living Water. This suggests that I would symbolically eat and drink in Christ via Communion, and become a true disciple of His, just as I did.

Next door to Cancer in Leo, the red planet of redemption called Mars was in conjunction with Regulus the King Star when I was born. Meanwhile, also in Leo, Mercury, the scribe and prophet planet, and Venus, the symbol of Christ as the Light of the World, and bright Morning Star were in close proximity to each other. Due to the presence of these three celestial bodies in Leo at my birth, the sign of Leo, the roaring Lion representing Christ returning in Wrath and Glory at the end of the Great Tribulation probably also has much to do with my true spiritual accomplishments in life, which now center around writing (as a scribe) and proclaiming (as a prophetess) to others about the fact that Christ is coming soon as a mighty Warrior King who will soon exact the ultimate wrath upon His enemies. It also may indicate that I am now, and was always destined to become a princess in God’s everlasting Kingdom.

On the day that I was born, there was one final sign of importance in the heavens at my birth. This was the planet Jupiter, the Messiah planet appearing in the head region of the sign of Virgo, with the planet Neptune at Virgo’s feet. Virgo represents the virgin Miriam (i.e. Mary) who gave birth to Christ, but also represents Israel, and the True Church. Could this mean that I am destined to be prophetically anointed, and also to anoint the head and feet of the people in the True Church before Christ’s Second Coming, and show them the teachings that God revealed to me in study, prayers, dreams, and visions?

Only God truly knows the answers to the meaning of the signs at my birth, but I firmly believe that His Holy Spirit helped me to write this essay, and to explain it in a way that would show others the only true way to apply Sacred Astronomy to one’s own life - without falling into the pitfalls of false Astrology, with its paganistic lies.

Another New Creation Museum in North America!
By Helena Lehman
http://pillar-of-enoch.com/


August 10th, 2007 - Though it isn’t very well known yet, there is a new little Creation Museum that has just opened its doors in a quaint little tourist town in Alberta, Canada.

Following the lead of the Answers in Genesis Creation Museum that recently opened in Petersburg, Kentucky (
http://www.creationmuseum.org/), in the greater Cincinnati area, this smaller Canadian museum is making a valuable contribution to showing others that a special Creation by one Creator God is not only biblically taught, but can be scientifically supported.

With a real emphasis on Geology, this new museum is called the Big Valley Alberta Creation Museum. If is located in Big Valley, a small town at the end of a panoramic and historic old steam rail way that is frequented by tourists.

Big Valley is also near Drumheller, Alberta, another small town located in the midst of a world-class dinosaur site. See
http://www.dinosaurvalley.com/ for information about visiting the area. As a result, the tiny town of Big Valley sees a good deal of tourist traffic (between 25,000 to 30,000 out-of-town visitors) throughout the year.

The tracks of the steam rail way extend from Stettler to Big Valley. This portion of track is owned and maintained by the East Central Alberta Heritage Society (ECHAC). Alberta Prairie Steam Tours (
http://www.absteamtrain.com/ in Stettler, Alberta rents the use of the track, from ECHAC, for their steam train excursions.

With the Steam railway, Creation Museum, and Dinosaur Valley as major attractions, Big Valley might be a great destination for a low-budget, and fun summer vacation. Big Valley is located mid way between Calgary in central southern Alberta, and Edmonton in the north.

To see some great photos of the displays in the Big Valley Creation Museum, and to learn more about it, you can visit their web page at
http://www.bvcsm.com/. When you do, don’t forget to scroll down to see the great little photo gallery!

This museum was brought about with the help of the world’s largest traveling Creation Museum, another Canadian-owned ministry. You can learn about them by visiting their web site at

Time For Me To Step Into The Political Arena
By Helena Lehman
http://pillar-of-enoch.com/


August 10th, 2007 - As I busy myself finishing my final book in the Language of God Book Series, I have found the Holy Spirit moving me to tell other believers that the time has come for us all to take an active interest in how our faith is played out within the scope of politics.

Though the world we know must end someday soon per the Bible's own testimony, that is no reason for us to sit back, and idly watch as our country, and the principles of its Christian founding fathers are completely eroded without our consent, or representation.

I, for one, will no longer sit idly by while the freedoms that my father and grandfather fought to protect are being stolen from us bit by bit. As US Citizens, we have an obligation to uphold biblical principles such as those written into our Constitution, and to peaceably petition the government, and the people of this country to strictly adhere to its mandates.

Without getting into a long-winded speech listing the evils and corruption being perpetrated by the two major political parties of the United States, or the shortcomings of the current presidency, or presidential candidates, I would like to introduce you to a political party that supports a firm adherence to the Constitution of the United States, and the Declaration of Independence.

After thoroughly reviewing their stated objectives, and political platform, I have decided to join, and support the Constitution Party in any way that I can. To that affect, here is a press release they recently sent me.

If you have any questions after visiting the Constitution Party web site, and reading the literature there, please feel free to post them on this board, and I will do my best to answer them.


INTRODUCING THE CONSTITUTION PARTY

Official Press Release

QUOTE:
"If taxes are laid upon us without our having a legal representation where they are laid, we are reduced from the character of free subjects to the state of tributary slaves."

Davy Crocket to Bono: “It’s Not Yours To Give”…

Lancaster, PA: 8/8/07- The Constitution Party joins Americans who champion limited government by condemning a recent Republican National Committee move. The RNC has endorsed a proposal by Irish rocker Bono to commit American taxpayers to spending $30 million to “eliminate global poverty”.

“As if any amount of taxpayer funds would actually accomplish that goal. What usually happens is the money extracted from us to fund these wealth transfers first fills the pockets of foreign dictators while barely a trickle ends up lining empty food bowls” stated Constitution Party National Committee Chairman Jim Clymer.

“History has shown us socialism does not work. Bono’s ill-advised scheme is socialism. The Republican Party has agreed to consign Americans to the same fate as other socialist countries with its recent endorsement of Bono’s global goody bag.” Clymer further added.

The Constitution Party, the third largest party based on voter registrations (Ballot Access News), points out that Bono, outspoken on environmentalism, global wealth transfer and socialist policies in general, owns several mansions throughout the world and travels by jet. The four engine jet he flies (while admonishing Americans to drive a hybrid) gets about 3 miles per gallon.

“What we now see is the GOP aligning itself with a man who advocates American taxpayers fund worldwide projects after he moved his lucrative music enterprise out of his native Ireland and to the Netherlands to avoid higher taxes” Clymer pointed out.

“The Republicans, the so-called party of ‘limited government’ whose control of the White House and/or both houses of Congress for a quarter century has resulted in quadrupled federal spending, would do well to heed the words of fabled frontiersman and Tennessee Congressman Davy Crockett. In the 1800’s this wise statesman said: “We have the right, as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please… but as members of Congress we have no right to … appropriate a dollar of the public money… as… charity”. Crockett said these words after a constituent told him when it came to using taxpayer money for humanitarian purposes: “It’s not yours to give!”

Please support the work of the Constitution Party. Visit our website at

MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of the Constitution Party is to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity through the election, at all levels of government, of Constitution Party candidates who will uphold the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. It is our goal to limit the federal government to its delegated, enumerated, Constitutional functions and to restore American jurisprudence to its original Biblical common-law foundations.
