The Bible reading
Psalm 96
The West Coast Bible Study net, led by Jeff (AK6OK) in the absence of Pastor Max, focused on Psalm 96. The group discussed the psalm's structure, noting its call to sing a new song to all nations and its assertion that the Lord is greater than all other gods. Participants highlighted the prophetic nature of the text, specifically the anticipation of the Lord's coming to judge the earth with righteousness and truth.
A significant portion of the study was dedicated to the nuances of Bible translations. The group distinguished between direct translations like the King James Version and paraphrases like The Message and the New Living Translation (NLT). They discussed the importance of understanding the source text to avoid misinterpretation, particularly in the age of AI-generated content. The NLT was noted for its accessibility at a sixth-grade reading level, which is beneficial for new believers and military personnel.
The session also included personal testimonies and ministry updates. Jeff shared his work in providing Bibles to the military, including a story about a Jewish rabbi at Fort Jackson who requested thousands of Bibles for Christian chaplains. Another participant, Beck (5YANKEE), shared a new hymn titled 'Praise to the Lamb,' which he is working on for wider distribution. The net concluded with a long list of prayer requests covering health, family, and ministry concerns.
Insights
- The 'chatterbox' in one's head is identified as a source of discouragement from the enemy, not from God, and can be countered by comparing thoughts to Scripture.
- Worship is described as an active, worldwide witness that connects praise with the global spread of the gospel.
- The concept of 'bringing an offering' in Psalm 96:8 is seen as a way to extinguish self-centeredness and selfish focus in worship.
- The term 'Lord' in the KJV (all caps) represents the Tetragrammaton (Yahweh), while lowercase 'lord' represents Adonai, a nuance often lost in modern translations.
- The NLT's accessibility is viewed as a divine tool for introducing the Word to those who might be intimidated by older, more complex vernaculars.
- The story of the Jewish rabbi requesting Bibles for Christian chaplains highlights the unexpected ways God uses diverse individuals to spread the Word.
- The group emphasized the importance of using multiple Bible versions and commentaries to gain a deeper understanding of the text, rather than relying on a single translation.

13:02encouraging encouraging bunch of uh praise for the lord any comments this morning what a what a great
13:08psalm over kb7 zxm kb7 zxm pick it up go ahead good morning everyone i'll just get the ball rolling
13:20here a little bit but uh you know the the the source of this psalm is anonymous uh in the in the fourth
13:28book of the psalms uh there is uh mark has talked about from time to time the psalms are organized into
13:35five five books but one thing we do know is this portion of this psalm was uh part of the song uh that
13:42was sung in first uh chronicles 16 23 through 33 when the ark was brought in uh to jerusalem but um here we see
13:55one of the one of the most beautiful psalms really uh another one they're proclaiming uh the the uh prophetic
14:04coming of the king of kings and uh the righteousness and really the gospel to be spread to all nations to
14:14all the world but one day that will lead to to the reign of the king of kings where true righteousness
14:23will reign and and true judgment will uh take place and so uh but what a beautiful express way to express
14:33uh the the uh the the gospel if you will to come uh in in especially like the first six verses we see here
14:42uh uh call to sing and praise uh the one that uh to all nations uh the lord kb 7 is that accept
14:54well said yes uh and um um it is this this is broken into four sections verse one through three and
15:03i'm reading a bit of a commentary but the psalm opens with the command of singing a new song which
15:08you were just talking about kevin uh sing a new song and declare god's salvation and glory to every
15:14nation worship here is active and meant to be shared worldwide connecting praise and global witness
15:23the second section is four through six uh let me turn down this receiver just a little bit here four
15:30through six it asserts that yahweh is great and far above any other deity and there is only one god
15:38while the other nations worship worthless idols made of stone or wood the lord made the heaven
15:44true majesty strength and beauty belong only to him the third section in seven through nine people
15:51from all families of the earth are invited to bring honor and strength back to god worshiping in the
15:57beauty of holiness means approaching god with reverence and awe and 10 through 13 the earth itself
16:05the fields and i've always been fascinated by this concept the fields trees and the oceans
16:11are called to rejoice because the lord comes to judge the world with righteousness and truth
16:17uh the trees of the field will clap their hands i remember that a uh a song i learned many many
16:23years ago god's judgment is portrayed as good and fair promise to set things right you'll look forward to
16:31that ak6 okay any other comments this morning a very good morning to everybody
16:36thank you for that survey this is wb7vzl yeah a very wonderful and thank you kevin for highlighting
16:52the the future that's that's highlighted in this this psalm uh excellent excellent point in the in the
17:02latter verses kevin over uh back to you uh
17:06uh yeah thank you very much yeah go ahead kevin i don't have a lot more that reminds me of a uh
17:17a song a brother of ours wrote here not long ago a praise to the lamb
17:22i'm not familiar with that one but uh uh that sounds awesome somebody somebody you know somebody you
17:33know well i think we all know them uh uh don't we back
17:41i'm not sure about that but a lot of them have prayed for me
17:44oh back wrote a wonderful hymn praise to the lord uh called praise to the lamb or uh i think it is
17:54title but uh anyway yes it you know there is a lot here in this um and uh but again keep in mind here
18:05this is written to all nations so not only for all nations to recognize uh who god is and that he is
18:14the final authority of all righteousness and judgment he is the way of salvation uh but but also that all
18:24are able to come and worship him and and and as we see there seven through nine and beyond there too
18:31to the call to come and worship in a meaningful way so uh and this was quite a call here you know when
18:41you think of israel uh being recognized as the uh you know the chosen uh nation of god uh but yet we know too
18:51that god chose them they would be a light to the rest of the world to point to god and of course um during the uh time of
19:02uh jesus uh coming to earth they they failed in that regard but uh but consequently uh that that will take place once again
19:13and uh here we see the call that that that this is what uh to all nations and really a prophetic uh
19:23uh looking forward uh looking forward to the time when we still look forward to today when the king of
19:30peace will reign with all righteousness all nations will turn to him and and praise him and worship him in a
19:38meaningful way kb7 thank you thank you kevin thank you yeah thank you kevin that well well said uh as max
19:49always says um i'm gonna read a little bit from uh the message this morning uh you know and i've learned a
19:56tremendous amount of having having bible study in my uh in my arsenal every morning um that i want to
20:03bring up and that is that uh um all these different translations of the bible and there are tons of
20:08them uh niv and the message and the new internet you know uh nlt all are different uh different versions of
20:20the same story but uh especially with ai lately we have to be really careful that we're reading the
20:27bible that was published initially and not not a restated bible i understand that yesterday i heard
20:34about the fact that verses of the bible are being picked up by ai and restated lately and put on facebook
20:43on our social media and uh where the meaning has been changed and we have to be very very careful
20:50one thing i've learned about the king james version and versus other versions and i've learned this from
20:56max i was always a message guy because that's what i could understand but i gotta tell you one thing i'm
21:03noticing is you have to be very very careful because when you read them you're going to find
21:07little nuances that are changed and one version to another so it's so important to understand the
21:16entire bible and make sure you're reading the uh the real bible and not not an ai version i'll stop
21:23right there what other comments we got before i read a little bit for the message over
21:27yeah
21:36yeah thanks uh my friend i appreciate what you said about the versions i'd like to uh use the king
21:41james and the uh the orthodox version um especially if you'll have it and i really enjoy that and like
21:50in this passage here uh in verse number five it says for the orthodox bible says for all of the gods of
21:58the nation are dealing with the lord made the heavens and i think about the principalities and powers
22:04referred to in ephesians that christ is open to show of them you know uh and then psalm 82 when he talks
22:12about god stood in the assembly of the gods and he judges in the midst of the gods saying how long
22:19will you judge unjustly and favor the persons of sinners and he in the end of that chapter of
22:26maybe psalm 82 he that he is going to judge them when he judges the earth and that they will die like
22:32men and i just think about those principalities of powers that uh you know that rule in the heavenly
22:38places and they rule over the men you know the power of the darkness and they're going to face
22:43their day and this psalm makes a great point that you know god is the god who created all things
22:49and the god of the bible is the god that the nation should be drawn to and not to those kinds and
22:55powers that rule over them thanks yeah great point um god is the god who created the entire thing
23:06there is no other god and i i hear i hear that thrown around all the time who is your god and uh
23:13and and and all these other uh these other guys that people worship whether it's wood or stone or
23:22whatever else that it just is it just referred to and there's only one god and uh boy a lot of people
23:28have it wrong and that's our job our job is to go out and be testimonies as to who the real god is
23:35and uh boy i don't want to be worshiping anybody but the real god so uh good good coming and thanks
23:42so much i appreciate that one uh dave okay who's next anybody want to comment go ahead ak608 for the
23:48west coast bible study wb7v0
23:54wb7v0 did you dry off yet yeah okay yeah well i'm just following up on kevin's focus on verse 13
24:08with the emphasis on the coming of our great god that we're worshiping here on earth with great gladness
24:16and adoration ascribing as it says in my translation but uh verse 13 before the lord for he is coming
24:28for he is coming to judge the earth and he will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his
24:36faithfulness and uh my bible directs me to revelation chapter 19 verse 11 and as a prelude to that i'm
24:49gonna if i can i'm gonna read revelation 14 verse 6 and 7 where this preparation and this judgment
24:59is implied is happening happening even now uh and i saw another angel flying in midheaven having an
25:11eternal gospel an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth and to every nation
25:19and tribe and tongue and people and he said with a loud voice fear god and give him glory because
25:29the hour of his judgment has come and worship him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of
25:42waters it's fascinating too to me that this is quite a strong reference to the fourth commandment
25:57of worshiping the creator god uh in this last phrase in verse seven so it sounds like that is the definition
26:08of of worshiping the one who is the creator and not us that's the greatest deception is that we ended up we
26:19we ended up worshiping ourselves in in respect to being led by a selfish focus in fact so much so that this
26:30psalm i noticed in verse eight to kind of extinguish our ourselves being self-centered it says bring an offering and come into his courts
26:45that's probably the bottom line characteristic of our worship in the older testament is that an offering is brought
26:57bring an offering it's all the time when we come into worship god so it kind of takes away some of our
27:07our selfish nature and to give worship to our great god uh back to you jeff excellent excellent thank you
27:19and yes uh and and i'll go ahead and read that starting with seven from the message and again watch
27:26these translations but bravo god bravo everyone join in the great shout encore in awe before the beauty in
27:36awe before the might and starting with eight bring gifts and celebrate bow before the beauty of god then to your knees
27:46everyone worship uh verse 10 get out the message god rules he put the world on a firm foundation he treats everyone fair and square
27:58and verse 11 let's hear it from sky with the earth joining in and a huge round of applause from sea
28:08let wilderness turn cartwheels animals come dance put every tree of the forest in the choir
28:16uh yes the trees of the fields will clap their hands and 13 finally an extravaganza before god as he comes
28:25as he comes to set everything right on earth set everything right treat everyone fair there's an interesting
28:34perspective who's next over ak6 okay jb seven's addiction yes sir go ahead yeah jeff since you brought it up
28:45and talking about translations there it should be you know one should try to be a little aware of
28:52the source of the source of what they're using to read from as to the bible there the message is not
28:59a translation at all it is a paraphrase so it's taking the ideas of what the text says and then phrasing it
29:09into its own um own words if you will not a translation but kind of in thought now the nlt
29:17is a little bit that way it's a little bit more of a translation nlt initially started as uh uh trying
29:26to uh re-translate or uh improve the paraphrasing of the living the new living bible or the living bible
29:34from the 70s which was all paraphrase as well and uh so they they they started to uh some scholars got
29:43together and and went back to the original language just trying to uh get that more on track with the
29:49translation so even it is somewhat focused on not a direct translation like you will see with king james or
29:58nesv or uh esv some of the others uh but uh uh so so keep in mind you know the god's word will come
30:09through on all of them but it is important to understand uh what the like you have done some research
30:18i know too we have such wonderful bible tools uh concordances uh commentaries and things that
30:25really can can help dick deep and and uh and so but it is interesting to see look at the text from
30:33different perspectives for sure tb7 said it's in great perspective yes and that's good to remember
30:42that they're they're kind of paraphrases is is what they are i use the parallel version of the bible
30:49where i can bring up two different versions we use for the uh military the nlt you know the new living
30:57translation one thing that a lot of people aren't aware of the nlt is a it appeals to a sixth grade
31:06reading level um and there is a great need for the nlt and the message uh i i you know being a new
31:15believer many many years ago the message was really helpful to me because i would read the king james and
31:22i wouldn't even understand it i'm thinking what does all this mean uh the these and the vows and so
31:30forth and as i joined up a couple years ago with this bible study i started to realize you gotta look
31:36at these words very closely and see what the meaning is um i met eugene peterson who wrote the message
31:43many years ago before he died so i had a good conversation with them what a gracious man
31:48and what an incredible project he took on to uh to pair as we were just talking about the paraphrase
31:56to the bible so it's understandable to a lot of people and true the message uh no matter what version
32:03you read it will come through god will make you understand it he'll help you to understand it the
32:08holy spirit will will guide you along as you read this as you prayerfully proceed along i had a
32:17conversation last night in our e-group about it's how important it is to understand the bible because
32:23when you start hearing the enemy whisper things in your ear and it only is where discouragement starts
32:32you have to have something to compare it to what you just heard and the bible is what you want as
32:39your comparison you want to be able to uh when you when you hear these discouraging comments in your own
32:45head which uh stephen pertick refers to to the chatterbox right going off in your head constantly telling
32:52him telling you that you're not enough you can't be enough you never will be enough it's it's wonderful to
32:59know the the bible or if if not the whole bible you'll understand the precepts of the bible anyway
33:07so that you can compare it and go no that's that's not god talking to me really important stuff anybody
33:13else go ahead and chime in ak6 okay km5f go ahead yeah even in the king james there's some uh things that
33:23weren't translated uh the way they probably should have been for example the word lord kept all caps
33:29that's actually yahweh but you never see it never occurs in the uh king james bible but it does occur
33:37in the jewish bible which we have handed out sometimes at uh our uh on our ministry deployment the
33:46other word is uh lord with the lower case that's actually adonai and that's the way it should should
33:53have actually been uh translated kevin might be able to add a little more to that camp i guess
34:01yeah great uh kevin you wanted to jump in on that one
34:05db7 zxn well a couple of things too and to your point i think it's important sometimes the um you know
34:13old english used to kind of especially as a young youngster took me a while to try to get past the uh
34:21uh the vernacular into to what it was trying to say um so that can be a barrier and let until you're
34:29you know used to it uh if you will uh so i think it's helpful to have a you know something that has
34:37contemporary uh translation i prefer personally translations that uh uh that are in common vernacular
34:46but more accurate to the text uh word for word because i want to get as close to the word as i can
34:54but that being said it it uh i look at different translations as well and uh different commentary
35:02little different word studies at times too so uh but there are uh several words and it began with king
35:09james uh that many words that are transliterated if you will uh you know the word the yahweh was
35:17really a word that was they never spoke in the old in the hebrew time uh it was too holy so they would
35:25just refer to it as the word well they chose to translate it as born in all caps but when that says
35:32that you know they're talking about the tetragrammaton if you will the the hebrew letters that designate
35:41who they're talking about the jehovah god the yahweh uh the the pre-incarnate jesus christ if you will
35:50and uh but yeah there are words uh baptism which is transliterated simply means to immerse to dunk
35:58uh but they they made a kind of a new word or variation of the word because back then they
36:03were doing a lot of sprinkling still do some uh denominations uh church was another one they
36:09transliterated uh ecclesia means uh called out ones the lord's assembly once he is called out
36:18in every case except for twice in the new testament it refers to a local congregation not a universal church
36:24church but uh but uh they they they transliterated that because i think at the time they wanted to
36:31uh keep people in the cathedrals there that said that they'd take it home from the catholic so there's
36:38a lot of nuances but most of it is very good uh translation uh now that we have both from the king james
36:45and others as well kb7 to that extent well thank you yeah that's uh a good perspective and just a
36:54gonna wrap up uh kevin um any other comments we're gonna round it up here pretty quick and tomorrow
37:02you will hear max in here from new jersey he'll be here tomorrow and friday and running the net remotely
37:10and like i said we uh my trip to cordelaine one reason for going there was to enhance uh the different
37:18locations we can talk from and listen from so max has that ability now to transmit from here in rockland
37:25and he's also going to have the ability to talk and listen from corley in idaho and we are working
37:31on other locations as well you never know we might put something in oregon so we'll see how this all goes
37:37we're uh we're doing this all for the glory of god and thank you uh kevin and roger and everybody for
37:45your comments this morning um and uh any uh any other comments uh on this passage or anything else
37:52you want to talk about this morning go ahead five yankee good morning again good morning jeff can i have
38:02a couple of minutes at the end just before you go to prayer absolutely uh take it away go ahead
38:09okay kevin thank you for for mentioning the song i never thought about it i only shared the song with
38:16the few people that i knew the the email addresses for that have conversed with me before um the holy
38:23spirit did give me a song and i think it's a beautiful song probably the best song i've ever written
38:29as far as i'm concerned and uh i'd like to share it with everyone if you send me an email i'm good on
38:36the cure's end page send me an email and i'll send the song to you that way we can share it around my
38:41objective is for people to sing this in church and praise god with it i'll pop for five yankee thank you
38:47jeff that is awesome uh i i will send you an email i'd love to to hear about this and i did not know you
38:57had written this that's so neat we all serve the lord in a different way and it's a joy to do that
39:05uh i've got to encourage everybody through your infirmities through all the prayer requests that
39:10i see going on uh here um it's it's wonderful to hear the people even with all the infirmities going
39:17on and you especially back with what you've gone through still praising the lord that's what we belong
39:24doing and we use all this diversity and stuff that's going on as a testimony to worship the
39:30lord and it's so great to be able to do that and i'm i'm living an example as well i should not be
39:36alive uh but god did keep me around for some crazy reason and got to tell you i'm no different than
39:43anybody else i'm just a regular old messed up guy uh but god has put me in the way of some
39:50incredible opportunities in my life one thing i don't think anybody knows on here i was a developer
39:57of the first talking elevator for odys elevator company well he said worthless trivia any other
40:04comments go ahead ak6 okay does that make sense not worthless go ahead kevin yeah and that's interesting
40:14i didn't know that jeff i like those talking elevators personally but uh and i just wanted to comment
40:22too on the nlt and the version used for the military you know i think that's a probably a i think god
40:30had probably had something to do with leading you that direction uh to produce the bible uh in that
40:37translation because it is a very easy and welcoming uh expression of the word and and um the way to
40:47get uh to get introduced and in a vernacular they can easily understand and there is a lot to be said
40:56to have things written at a 12 or 14 year old level and honestly for all of us even though most of us i'm
41:05sure can uh understand and read at a higher level and have some uh college or higher education or
41:11have been around life long enough to to decipher it uh on medical issues and things we have to deal
41:18with but at the same time uh what a wonderful way to be introduced to the word of god so as the spirit
41:25of god guides the person into the word and into the uh message of the word which is key uh you know
41:33down the road uh one can uh if paul encourages us to one day uh uh move off the milk of the word and
41:42into some of the deeper things and uh you know one day to get to the uh beaten potatoes of the word if
41:48you will but uh i didn't want to be uh misunderstood that way jeff i think probably god has led you to
41:55put make it available in that translation and i and clearly it is uh touching many lives give you sevens
42:02that extent well thank you and i i agree with you i think god did lead us to that many many years ago
42:102006. you know recently uh i say recently in the last year and a half or so i've been in church with
42:17a jewish rabbi uh at fort jackson south carolina this is a training base it's a boot camp and hundreds
42:24of thousands of guys go through this place and women and this jewish rabbi calls me up his first name is
42:31dovid uh that's what threw me in the first place i thought there's that's a good jewish name uh
42:37dovid called me up and he said uh jeff we need some bibles uh and i said now wait a second here you
42:43are a jewish rabbi why would you need bibles because you know they they read from i i guess it's the torah
42:49anyway i said why do you need bibles and he said listen i have ten times the number of christians show
42:56up at my services is we do jewish guys and uh these guys need the word of god and i asked him how many
43:03he wanted and he said i want six thousand and i thought okay so now isn't that interesting any any
43:11comments on that concept go ahead well god get uh finds ways to get his word out there in front
43:19of people doesn't he he does and uh and i asked him recently i mean he's ordered a total of 12 14 000
43:29from us i probably said the other day what what are you doing with all these bibles and he said oh listen
43:34i want to be the clearinghouse for all the christian chaplains that need bibles they come to me
43:42hey buddy whatever works is good for me over amen
43:51i i have one fun quick story and then i'll i'll stop here but um we actually sent a couple pallets
43:57of bibles to a base one time and they put them outside the chapel now this is on a military facility so
44:03the public's not invited the public's not in that base but overnight they all got stolen and who was
44:10the uh who are the thieves they were all the rest of the chaplains that heard that there were bibles
44:15in front of the chapel so uh a major theft happen but uh so be it over
44:25well hey man i'll tell you it's a wonderful ministry jeff and uh yeah i'm just so glad to see the
44:32word getting out there uh and in the hands of of so many like that so uh anyway glory be to god yeah

59:561969 san diego maybe whenever uh i got down to boot camp and they gave us our sea bag in that sea bag
60:06was a small uh new testament uh and as far as i know everybody got one is that something that still
60:15occurs nowadays or or what no no that stopped a long long time ago uh the government decided we
60:24don't belong giving bibles out yeah probably because the complaints from some people uh so no
60:31that is no longer a standard issue uh and a matter of fact we are one of the only organizations left that
60:38is providing bibles to the military there was the gideons there was the american bible society and other
60:44organizations that have done this for many many years and um i don't i'm not aware of anybody
60:50that does it anymore except our organization which is really sad i i wish there was a lot more of us
60:55doing it uh but nope that's no longer uh that's no longer allowed over okay i was just curious um
61:03um yeah it's um it's sad uh i kept it with me the whole time but uh
61:14anyway i was just curious thanks
61:18you bet in in our bible is in lt and it is the old and new testament which is really important to these
61:25guys they want to know why they're fighting they want to know why they're there and that's in the old
61:30testament um so anyway well beck thank you for that and and beck do you have my email address
61:40yes sir i do and i've um put the song i'm making a note to you right now it's called praise the lamb

61:52wonderful uh how neat gosh i love that i might i might send that on you know we go to a very very
62:00large church called elevation church and uh they have i think 20 campuses now and hundreds and hundreds
62:07of thousands of people online that watch i know the director of the band uh i might shoot it over to
62:14him roger well um i i want to send it to you but i'd like you to keep it to yourself right now and the
62:22reason why is because it's a little rough i play all the instruments and i haven't played for 14 years
62:28until i bought equipment again guitars and keyboards and stuff and just for the song and um i want to clean
62:37it up and i bought a a unit that i can i'm hoping i can take everything from the task cam and put it
62:46through that into an editing software music editing software on my computer and then clean it up there's
62:53little spots that are a little uh too loud and things like that and then once i was done the the fine
63:00tune on it then that would be the one that i'd want you to share fantastic there are incredible tools
63:08for that now for a mac or a pc mainly a mac but pc is also uh some of the new music editing software
