Spoke 4
Psalm 4  4th Mitzvah 4th Seal
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and
be still. ... I will both lay me down in peace, and
sleep: for thou, LORD,
only makest me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and
do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in
it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor
thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Fourth Commandment
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the
fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that
sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto
them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger,
and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Fourth Seal
Rest, Sleep, and Death
The concepts of Rest, Sleep, and Death are all subsumed in the category defined by the Number 4. This is
exemplified in the Fourth Commandment (Sabbath Rest) and the Fourth
Seal of the Apocalypse (Death).
It is interesting that in Psalm 3, David says "I laid me down and slept;
I awaked; for the LORD sustained me"
integrating with the Resurrection on the Third Day, whereas here in Psalm 4 he simply says he will
lay down and sleep.
The word translated as "still" is the Dalet KeyWord  (Dammam)
which means silence, still,
or struck dumb. I believe this is an obvious cognate with the English "dumb." God used this root as
a KeyWord in the Dalet verse of the Alphabetic Psalm 37:
Psalm 37.7 [Dalet]: Rest in the LORD [Dom L'YHVH], and wait patiently for him:
fret not thyself because of him who
prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
This is discussed in context in the Dalet Alphabetic Verses article.
The word "dwell" - yeshab - first occurs in Genesis 4, along
with the whole series of Dalet concepts of Birth, Death, Door and Sin.
Perfect Peace
We also have a profound connection with Isaiah 26 (Spoke 4, Cycle 2 of the Inner Wheel of Isaiah) which links
to a whole host of Spoke 4 themes:
| Psalm 4 | Isaiah 26 |
|---|
| I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD,
only makest me dwell in safety. |
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the
LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: |
The word translated as "mind" in Isaiah 26 is from the root yetser (S# H3336) which usually means formation. Its
relation to the Number 4 is discussed in the Isaiah 26 article
Perfect Peace.
Dwelling in Peace and Safety
This thematic link between Psalm 4 and Cell 26 of Isaiah's Inner Wheel then manifests in a KeyLink to Ezekiel in Cell 26 of the Bible Wheel. Searching the entire KJV for all verses containing
(peace, dwell, safe*) [Verify] yields two verses, Psalm 4.8 and Ezekiel 34.25
 |
KeyLink: Dwelling in Peace and Safety |
|---|
| Psalm 4 | Book 26 (Ezekiel) |
|---|
| I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD,
only makest me dwell in safety. |
And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts
to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and
sleep in the woods. |
This is an extremely strong KeyLink. There are four words in common between the two passages, but not all
of them are need to form a KeyLink. Any one of these four sets yields a KeyLink between these verses:
Each of these sets forms a KeyLink and
they are all based on the fundamental Dalet Theme of Rest that integrates with both the Fourth Commandment
and the Fourth Seal. Such is the infinite Wisdom of Almighty God!
A Covenant of Peace
Yet there is still more. The supernatural design continues to cascade through the Wheel and the Wheels within
the Wheel. The phrase "covenant of peace" forms a KeyLink between Numbers and Ezekiel, as
discussed in A Covenant of Peace:
|
KeyLink: A Covenant of Peace |
|---|
| Book 4 (Numbers) | Book 26 (Ezekiel) |
|---|
| Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: And he shall have it,
and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because
he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel. |
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be
an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and
will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. |
This Covenant of Peace was established by the death of the Lamb of God, refered to in Daniel 9.26:
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for
himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;
and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
We have the identity:
| Covenant of Peace
B'rit Shalom |
|
= 988 = |
| Messiah shall be cut off
Yikrat Meshiah |
|
This is the everlasting Gospel, eternally encoded by God in the intrinsic alphanumeric structure of
the Greek and Hebrew languages and engraved in the geomtric structure of His Holy Word! Endless Glory!
