Psalm 68 - some interesting things

Excitement in the heavens as God arises from His throne. The very sight make His enemies fearful and brings panic to their ranks. But on the other side those made righteous by the blood of Jesus see the same sight and great excitement goes through the ranks, there is increased joy and singing. In a generation of missing fathers, of loneliness and bondage to whatever may bring fleeting pleasure God rises up to rescue them. Those who have become weak and lost in this dry and empty existence are thirsty for something more than dust. But God has risen up and marches ahead of those He has rescued. The earth shakes as they are delivered and all chains are broken. The heavens open and rain is poured out on them. Abundant showers refresh the weary souls of those called to inherit the everlasting kingdom. The Lord provides for them and speaks His word into their hearts, a great company, a generation following God through the desert. Kings and armies have heard the sound, Jesus is coming, they flee in haste. In the clouds above this procession the chariots of God appear in thousands of thousands. The time has come to establish the reality of the victory that already happened when Jesus ascended leading captives in His train. Shouts of praise go up from the procession of believers who by experience have seen Him bearing their burdens daily. God has called His enemies to battles from the ends of the earth, even demonic armies. He has called them so that His name may be glorified as the Lord of Victory, God Almighty in battle. From Jerusalem a watchman looks out and sees this procession coming into view. They are led by Worship and Praise. Benjamin leads them, a generation who were called "son of my sorrow" by man is now called "son of my right hand" by God. Benjamin, fierce warriors, brave, bold and unintimidated, archers and slingers who Moses placed at the approach to the highlands when Israel left Egypt. These are the Prophetic Intercessors who see the enemy at a distance and are able to fire arrows at them. Egypt, your spearmen don't even stand a chance for God's word is in the mouth of Benjamin and when he sees and speaks angelic armies will go into battle in accordance with God's word. Proclaim the power of God whose majesty is over Isreal, whose power is in the skies. You are awesome O God in your sanctuary, the God of Israel gives power and strength to His people
