SCRIPTURE READING: Psalm 106:45
INTRODUCTION
Psalm 106 depicts the mercy of God toward his covenant people, even as they forsook Him. This psalm is the dark counterpart of the previous psalm (Ps. 105), a shadow cast by self-will in its long struggle against light. Alexander Maclaren observed, “The keynote of Psalm 105 is, ‘Remember His mighty deeds;’ that of Psalm 106 is, ‘They forgot His mighty deeds.’” In this psalm, Israel’s history is written to show man’s sin, while the preceding psalm was to show God’s goodness. It truly is a national confession.
So why does true Israel, the white race of America, tend to forget their biblical history? It is because they are told by false churches that Israel means “Jews;” one of the biggest lies in the world.
