Before I get into these
Psalms and their prophetic significance, it's important to know that the
Psalms, in general, are connected prophetically to the years of the end
times starting with the year 1900. To really see this, I encourage you
to read the book "Hidden Prophecies in the Psalms" by J.R. Church.
Since Psalms is the 19th book of the Bible, the theory goes that Psalm 1
would represent the year 1901, Psalm 2, 1902, and so forth. While I
don't agree that EVERY Psalm prophecies of the year it represents, there
are some connections that are beyond coincidental. They are often very
subtle but in my opinion cannot be explained away. For example, I
encourage you to study the years of WW2 and in particular the Holocaust
and hear the agony of the Jewish people in Psalms 40-44. Things start
looking up for the Jews after that and it is clearly seen in these
Psalms.
Psalm 48. This is the year that Israel became a nation.
(Also kinda cool to note that the Psalms are 19 books in from the
beginning of the Bible and 48 books from the end. Seems 1948 is a
pivotal year in God's calendar) Of course 1948 was the year that Israel
became a nation again.
Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters
of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments. Walk about Zion, and go
round about her: tell the towers thereof. Mark ye well her bulwarks,
consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
Psalm 48:11-13
These verses appear to describe someone walking
about Israel and Jerusalem and rejoicing! Note the Hebrew words for
"generation following" are dôr 'aḥărôn Which means the latter
generation, the final generation. It would seem that the Lord is saying
here that when Israel becomes a nation, it will be the final generation.
This coincides with Jesus's statement in Matthew 24
Now learn
this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become
tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also,
when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!
Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till
all these things take place. Psalm 120-134 have a special name. They are called the "Psalms of Ascent" There are 15 Psalms of Ascent. The number 15 in Judaism means REST. Here are some important Scriptures that mention 15
1. There are two very important feast days that occur on the 15th of their respective months. Both are feast days in which all of Israel is supposed to gather in Jerusalem. - The 15th day of the first Hebrew month (Nisan) is the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a day of rest for the children of Israel
- Day 15 day of the seventh Hebrew month begins the Feast of Tabernacles, also a day of rest.
The number 15 occurs 24 times in KJV. 20 old 4 in New Testament. 2. After dying on the cross, Jesus' body is placed in a Garden Tomb as the sun was setting to begin Nisan 15 in 30 A.D. 3. Noah's Ark rose 15 cubits upward until the rains stopped
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered (Genesis 7:19 - 20, KJV).
4. Judah's righteous King Hezekiah, who was quite sick, was informed through the prophet Isaiah that he would soon die (2Kings 20:1). After hearing this news he tearfully prayed that God would remember his works and how he served him with his whole heart. The Lord heard his prayer and granted him 15 more years of life. Return again and tell Hezekiah the prince of My people, 'Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father, "I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord. And I will add fifteen years to your days . . .'" (2Kings 20:5 - 6).
5. It was year 15 in the reign of Tiberius Caesar's reign that John the Baptist's ministry began (Luke 3:1 - 3).
6. Three and five are factors of 15. 3 is the Trinity and 5 means Grace. 7. Fifteen contains the digits one and five. Interestingly, this number is equal to the addition of the first five digits or 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5. 8. It was 15 furlongs from Jerusalem to Bethany 9. The Apostle Paul spent 15 days with Peter before he started his ministry
The Psalms of Ascent
The word "Ascent" in Hebrew is maʿalot which means “going up.”
In the Holy Temple courtyard, there was an ultra wide stairway that consisted of fifteen large, semi-circular steps that "ascended" into the inner section of the courtyard. The Levites, whose job it was to accompany the Temple service with song and instrumental music, would stand on these steps and sing these fifteen psalms.
These psalms were sung on a high "ascendant" musical note.
These psalms were sung starting in a low tone of voice and steadily ascending to a higher one.
These psalms were sung by the Jews who ascended from Babylon to Israel in the times of Ezra the Scribe.
These psalms were sung by the Jews when they would "ascend" to visit the Holy Temple three times annually for the festivals. Note the connection here with the three main harvests!
These psalms praise, exult and "elevate" G‑d.
A chiastic structure is seen by many in these Psalms with Psalm 127 a Psalm of Solomon as center. Preceded and succeeded by seven Psalms of ascent, each side adorned with 24 occurrences of 'Yahweh,' a numerical symmetry evoking divine significance
I don't know about you but just reading that list and knowing that the word Ascent in Hebrew means "Going up" AND that these psalms were song when the priests went UP to the temple during the Three Harvest Festivals AND that there were 24 occurrences of "Yahweh" on either side of the middle Psalm 127.. well, that's pretty fascinating!
So, the theory then would be that Psalms 120-134 (Psalms of ascent) would represent the years 2020-2034.
If Psalms 120-134 (The Psalms of Ascent) correspond prophetically to the years 2020-2034, let's try and match them to what has been happening around us. Could the "Ascent" here mean that during these 15 years, we, the Saints are on our way up to the Kingdom of God? Let's See!
Disclaimer: I'm not saying there is a definite DIRECT correlation between ALL of these Psalms and the year they connect to. Some will be obvious while other connections may seem like a stretch. I'm only asking you to open your mind and see the obvious prophetic connections where they exist.
Psalm 120. Can this connect at all to what happened in 2020? Here's just part of that Psalm.
In my distress I cried to the Lord,
And He heard me.
Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips
And from a deceitful tongue.
What shall be given to you,
Or what shall be done to you,
You false tongue?
Obviously, 2020 was a year full of lies and deceit. I need say no more on that
Psalm 121
I encourage you to read it for yourself. This post would be way too long were I to type out all 15 Psalms. But the main point of this Psalm is a cry out to God for help and an assurance of God's protection. Sure seems to fit where we were at in 2021
Psalm 122
Please read for yourself. This Psalm is all about Jerusalem. Here are the final verses
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
Peace be within your walls,
Prosperity within your palaces.”
For the sake of my brethren and companions,
I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
Because of the house of the Lord our God
I will seek your good.
Perhaps this appeal to pray for Jerusalem in 2022 was in advance of the war that began in 2023 on October 7th? Maybe.
Psalm 123
Is a prayer for relief from contempt
Here are the final few verses
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us!
For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Our soul is exceedingly filled
With the scorn of those who are at ease,
With the contempt of the proud.
Interesting that in 2023, the current war began on October 7th and many many people throughout the world began hating the Jews
Psalm 124
There are a couple of interesting things in this Psalm. It starts out proclaiming how the Lord is protecting Israel
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,”
Let Israel now say—
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us,
Then they would have swallowed us alive,
and ends with this interesting phrase below about escaping the snare of the fowlers.
Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers;
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
Which reminded me of Psalm 91
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence. 2024 was a year Israel seemed to be always battling her enemies round about
Psalm 125
This Psalm talks about those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion and that the Lord is surrounding them and protecting them. Here's one verse from the middle
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
On the land allotted to the righteous,
A scepter is an instrument of power for a king. So apparently there is a wicked king in Israel. But this verse says he will not remain there. Am I saying Netanyahu is evil? Honestly, I don't know. But I do know that the political and religious Jews in Israel will soon receive a very wicked ruler, the AC.
Psalm 126 I'll post the entire psalm here because this is the year we are in: When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion,
We were like those who dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the [b]nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
The Lord has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
Bring back our captivity, O Lord,
As the streams in the South.
Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.
He who continually goes forth weeping,
Bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him. This Psalm speaks about bringing the Jewish people out of captivity. It talks about their prior captivity and how the Lord rescued them and they were happy. Then it asks the Lord to do so again. It speaks of sowing in tears and reaping in joy. Since Israel is at war this year, and about to make a major attack on Iran, I would think there would be many tears this year, many appeals to God to rescue them from the captivity of the surrounding nations. Psalm 127
This Psalm talks about the House of the Lord. Could it be referring to the rebuilt temple? It also gives the overall impression of patiently waiting for deliverance and of laboring and prospering in the Lord.
Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
Psalm 128
Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who fears, reveres, and worships the Lord, who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments. verse 1 The entire psalm is about the blessing that God pours on those who truly worship Him. 2028 would be the year approaching the mid-point of the Tribulation. Perhaps the Jewish people are finally starting to turn back to the Lord as they realize they are worshiping the wrong messiah.
Note: Of all the Psalms of Ascent, only Psalm 125 and 128 end with the phrase "Peace be Upon Israel" Interesting.
Psalm 129
This Psalm is all about suffering and affliction and how the Jews are calling out to God to punish their enemies. Sure sounds like the middle of the Tribulation.
Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth,”
Let Israel now say—
“Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth;
Yet they have not prevailed against me.
Let all those who hate Zion
Be put to shame and turned back.
Psalm 130
The Theme of this Psalm is Waiting on the Redemption of the Lord. It is a cry out for the Lord to come and save them. Again, we would expect to see this in the 4-5 year of the Tribulation
Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.
My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning—
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
Psalm 131
Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
O Israel, hope in the Lord
From this time forth and forever. What a contrast from the preceding Psalm. Perhaps this hope comes from the Jews who God has kept safe in Petra during the Great Tribulation. Perhaps they know His return is soon!
Psalm 132
The theme of this psalm is the eternal dwelling of God in Zion. Amazing. It speaks of the temple, the Ark of the Covenant and always having a descendant of David on the throne. Here are the last verses
For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His dwelling place:
“This is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
I will abundantly bless her provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
There I will make the horn of David grow;
I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed.
His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”
What a different mood than all the prior "ascent" psalms! This is all about the Lord setting up His Kingdom in Jerusalem!
Psalm 133
This short Psalm is all about the Blessed Unity of God's people. Here's the first verse.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
If this is 2033, then Jesus has returned and He is setting up His Kingdom, judging the wicked, and restoring peace and unity. We are there with Him and enjoying each others' fellowship.
Psalm 134 This is the LAST and 15th Psalm of Ascent Behold, bless the Lord,
All you servants of the Lord,
Who by night stand in the house of the Lord!
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary,
And bless the Lord.
The Lord who made heaven and earth
Bless you from Zion!
It's a psalm of praise to the Lord and the constant blessing of God! I can well imagine this would be the attitude of the Lord's children as He completes the setup of His Kingdom and starts His 1000 year reign!
Saints, even if I'm wrong in some of my connections with theses psalms, you cannot deny the prophetic implication itself of 15 Psalms of assent, it's connection to the priests going up. the Noah connection the extra 15 years of Hezekiah, etc. Why would God place these special 15 Psalms in the middle of the book?
If you've made it this far, you get an extra bonus. You may already know this, but May 13-14th is Ascension day, the Day Jesus rose up into heaven in front of His disciples on the Mount of Olives. It is also 40 days from Resurrection day, which happened to land exactly on Easter this year. It is also the end of the Barley Harvest in Israel. Am I saying the rapture is on that day? Nope. Just pointing out the importance, Then 10 days later, we celebrate Pentecost on May 23-24. This 10 days reminded me of this Scripture Fear nothing that you are about to suffer. [Dismiss your dread and your fears!] Behold, the devil is indeed about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested and proved and critically appraised, and for ten days you will have affliction. Be loyally faithful unto death [even if you must die for it], and I will give you the crown of life. Revelation 2:10 This is why I believe May 2026 is the highest watch time we've ever had. Jamie Walden I've posted his videos before. He's a pastor in Colorado with a very interesting background. A marine who saw action in war, a paramedic, a policeman... search and rescue, etc. Now, he pastors a church in Colorado. I love his sermons because he talks about going on in for Jesus, submitting completely to our Lord and King. He is appalled at the condition of the modern church. The only thing I don't agree with him on is the rapture. He is not sure it is Pre-trib, but he doesn't argue about it. Having said all of that, last month he read through pages of words he received from the Lord during prayer and worship over the past several years. In the final one, the Lord told him that 2026 was the year. He even mentioned around fall time as the start of the Tribulation. Now, mind you, I don't put much credence on words most people say they got from the Lord. But this guy preaches the real Gospel, isn't even expecting the rapture, and has never ever given any prophetic dates. So I throw it out there for you to ponder. Along with everything else... well, it's very encouraging.
Here's one final short video about the Essene calendar and the final Jubilee. I found it very informative and interesting. I hope it blesses you Why the Essenes Predicted a 2025–2032 Tribulation Window
That's it for now. If we do leave this month, then I would like to thank you all for following me here, for reading what the Lord gives me, and for your prayers and support. If we find ourselves in June, I will prayerfully continue posting as the Lord leads. Otherwise, I will see you in the clouds!
