“Our Help Is In The Name Of The LORD”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 124

He came from Heaven to Earth for one purpose. To help us, to help the world. He is the only one who could help man. For man had self destructed.

No creation could redeem man. No angels, no spirits, no blood could redeem man.
Man is blood and it would take blood to redeem blood.

R Revelation 5:1-4 “And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. [2] And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? [3] And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. [4] And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.”

Man was sealed for destruction. Man was sealed for death. Man was sealed for eternal separation from God. No creation in heaven, earth, or under the earth could help man.

Revelation 5:5 “And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

Our help is in the Name of the LORD.. His Name is Jesus Christ. He is the Lamb of God that was slain from before the foundation of the world.

David declares our help is in the name of the LORD.

Let’s read:

Psalm 124:1-5 “If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; [2] If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: [3] Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: [4] Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: [5] Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.”

If it wasn’t for redemption, the waters of hell would have swallowed every soul. But thank God for redemption.
Jesus Christ slain for my redemption, for your redemption, locking us back in oneness with God.

Now, we cannot be destroyed just as God cannot be destroyed. We cannot die just as God cannot die.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 124:6-7 “Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. [7] Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.”

 We escaped destruction because of the slain Lamb.

Revelation 5:6-9 “And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. [7] And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. [8] And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. [9] And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;”

That’s why He is our Song, He is our Redemption. He is our Salvation . He is our Life.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 124:8 “Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.”

He is our only Help. His Name is Jesus Christ the slain Lamb of God.

Let Him become your Help. BELIEVE and confess Christ the slain Lamb as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. Your only help, in Christ!
