Psalms 83:1-18

Psalms 83 The Final Enemies Overthrown

1. The enemies in confederacy (Psalms 83:1-8)
2. Their complete defeat and fate (Psalms 83:9-18) Elsewhere in prophecy we read of the confederacies of nations, Israel’ s enemies, coming against the land of Israel in a final great onslaught. There will be an invasion from the north mentioned in Isaiah 29:1-24; Joe 2:1-32; Daniel 8:9-12, and in Zechariah 12:2. Then there will also be Gog and Magog invading the land (Ezekiel 38:1-23, etc.). It seems the former is in view here. The godly remnant prays and speaks of these invading hosts as “ His enemies” calling upon the Lord to deal with them. Their satanic object is to cut them off from being a nation. They remind the Lord of what He did with Israel’ s former enemies and treat them likewise, so that Jehovah may become the Most High (God’ s millennial Name) over all the earth
