Songs of Ascent Psalm 133

 


Psalm 133 Blessed Unity of the People of God

1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is 
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
3 It is like the dew of Hermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord commanded the blessing—Life forevermore.

There is no doubt in my mind that in our day, this next to the last Song of Ascents up to Zion pictures the reality we are closing in on as the Church and the Messianic Jews come into the unity of "one new man" in Messiah. There may be darkness - even gross darkness covering the peoples of the earth, but among these who find their was to the fulfillment of God's desire to make of two "one new man" in His Son, there is an abundance of oil flowing down from the head - who is Yeshua/Jesus. 

If we will be the virgins whose lamps are filled with oil, we cannot bypass the will of God on the issue of our unity with the MESSIANIC Jews. We cannot reach the oil supply coming down from our head, Yeshua, without becoming one with each other. This is as true for Messianic Jews and it is for Christians. This is the winnowing - the separating chaff from grain.
