Psalm 89: 46-49

46 How long, O LORD ? Will you hide yourself forever?  

How long will your wrath burn like fire?  

47 Remember how fleeting is my life.  

For what futility you have created all men!  

48 What man can live and not see death,  

or save himself from the power of the grave [5] ?  

Selah  

49 O Lord, where is your former great love,  

which in your faithfulness you swore to David?  

-God is hidden and has left men to fed for themselves?  Then why are there prophets and revelations?

Just wanted to share.

Peace

Dan, for someone who has taught me much about reading the quran at more than face value, I am surprised at you

I'm not going to go to all of your postings, but I'll just point out this one (I urge you to further research the rest)

Psalm 89 is talking about God's promise to David to "make your dynasty stand forever and establish your throne through all ages". (PS 89 2-5) The quote you pasted was the reaction of the people to the defeat of David.

How could this be? God promised a throne as enduring as the heavens.

But let's look further. Do you, yourself, not agree that this life is merely a predecessor to the next?

It is assumed that God meant David a place in heaven, not a throne on earth, for a seat in heaven is far greater than that of this world .
