In the Bible, the Old Testament particularly, the noun “horn” can mean three things. Literally, the horn of an animal, an ox for example. Secondly, a musical instrument, often made out of the horn of such a dead animal! Then thirdly, a symbol for “POWER.”

The horns of a mighty goat or ram (as in Daniel 8:5-6) expedite their strength and ability, exponentially!

Our Verse this morning (I write a Lesson here every other day now and record a Bible Study Video on the alternating days) features the noun “horn” as used in the third way I enumerated above.

“All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off,” God has just spoken in Psalm 75:10.

Yes, we all realize (us old fashioned Christians anyway, Bible lovers) that wickedness now rules the earth! Sadly, including the United States, especially according to God’s Criteria in Romans 1:18-32.

I mean Satan has governmental power now! The executive, legislative and judicial branches of our republic are seeped in iniquity, nearing (if not already there) the “reprobate” stage. (Thank God for the few exceptions, a handful of men and women still standing for godliness!)

But, the Bible promises, one day God will “cut off” (whatever that means) the POWER of those wicked entities! God will judge such rebellion against His Name, His Word.

Did anyone ever wonder why the United States is not mentioned in Bible Prophecy? Could it be that there will be no United States in the future? That she will be overrun, conquered by some God-appointed enemy? I wonder, I really do.

But, having said all that, the rest of Psalm 75:10 comes to mind! “All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; BUT THE HORNS OF THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL BE EXALTED.”

Amen!

Right will prevail!

Truth will some day (again) reign on this earth!

When?

Let’s let this Prayer give us the answer. Our Lord speaks first the John petitions Him. “Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”

Oh Yes!
