Spoke 16
Nehemiah, Zechariah, 1 Peter
O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us,
thou hast been displeased;
O turn thyself to us again.
Psalm 60 (Inner Cycle: Spoke 16, Cycle 3)
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus,
Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
1 Peter (Bible Wheel: Spoke 16, Cycle 3
Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These
are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up
his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which
lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
Zechariah (Bible Wheel: Spoke 16, Cycle 2)
Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying,
If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
Nehemiah (Bible Wheel: Spoke 16, Cycle 1)
The theme of scattering the people of God runs through all three Cycles of Spoke 16 on the
Bible Wheel where it manifests in the opening verses of each Book. It is the subject of the
great prophecy of the Lord Jesus Christ our Great Shepherd
given in Zechariah 13:
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow,
saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered:
and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
Likewise, the them of scattering also manifests in the opening
verse of Psalm 60, corresponding to I Peter. All of this is profoundly integrated with the subdivision
of the Canon containing the following Triplet of
Triplets:
| Epistles to the Scattered: |
James |
I Peter |
II Peter |
| Post-Exilic Minor Prophets: |
Haggai |
Zechariah |
Malachi |
| Post-Exilic OT History: |
Ezra |
Nehemiah |
Esther |
The plea in the opening verse of Psalm 60 for God to turn himself back unto us echoes the theme
that unites Nehemiah and Zechariah.
Here are all three relevant passages side-by-side:
| Nehemiah 1.8 |
Zechariah 1.2 |
Psalm 60.1 |
|---|
| Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses,
saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there
were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from
thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there. |
The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD
of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. |
O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us,
thou hast been displeased;
O turn thyself to us again. |
Note that Psalm 60 and Zechariah both say the Lord was "displeased." Searching the KJV for all verses that
contain "displeased" within one verse of "turn" reveals this KeyLink between Psalm 60 = 163
(Spoke 16, Cycle 3) and Zechariah, Book 38 = 162 (Spoke 16, Cycle 2):
 | KeyLink: Turn, and be not displeased, O Lord! | PPsalms( 163 )  PBible( 162 ) |
This KeyLink appears to be dependent upon the KJV translation because the underlying words translated as
"displeased" in Zechariah and Psalm 60 are completely different, though they convey the same idea. To get
beyond the translational issue, we would need to develop software that correlates synonyms so we could
check if there were any other verses that speak of the ideas of turning to the Lord and His displeasure
with us. It would also help alot if we could develop software that will recognize Greek-Hebrew synonyms
like the creation words bara and ktidzo.
As a final note, the first occurrence of "displeased" in the KJV is found in Genesis 38, corresponding to
Zechariah, Book 38. It is actually a translation of the Hebrew idiom "Ra'ah B'Ayini" which literally
means "to be evil in the eyes of." Of course, this corresponds to the name of the 16th letter, Ayin (Eye)
that governs Spoke 16.
