#psalm 83

Nations Conspire Against Israel

1 A song: a psalm of Asaph. 2 God, do not keep silent. Do not hold Your peace, O God. Do not be still. 3 For look, Your enemies make an uproar. Those who hate You lift up their head. 4 They make a shrewd plot against Your people, conspiring against Your treasured ones. 5 “Come,” they say, “let’s wipe them out as a nation! Let Israel’s name be remembered no more!” 6 For with one mind they plot together. Against You do they make a covenant. 7 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites, 8 Gebal, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre, 9 even Assyria has joined them, becoming a strong arm for Lot’s sons. Selah

10 Do to them as You did to Midian, to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River, 11 who perished at En-dor— they became as dung for the ground. 12 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb— all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, 13 who said, “Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God.” 14 My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind. 15 As a fire burns a forest, and as a flame sets mountains ablaze, 16 so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm. 17 Cover their faces with shame, so they may seek Your Name—Adonai. 18 Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever. Let them be humiliated and perish. 19 Let them know that You alone —whose Name is Adonai— are El Elyon over all the earth. — Psalm 83 | Tree of Life Version (TLV) Tree of Life Translation of the Bible.

Tarot Liturgy: Venus in Leo

Venus has just entered Leo, the fifth house by excellence, known in traditional and Hellenic-Hermetic astrology as the succedent house of Good Fortune (Agathê Tychê), where fire becomes joy and offering, the sphere long resonant with Venus herself, guardian of delight, fecundity, and creation. By zodiacal axis this ingress also awakens the eleventh house of Aquarius, the fixed air of the Good Daimon (Agathos Daimon), keeper of community and promise. The timing is precise, arriving only days after the Sun left its leonine throne to enter the mutable earth of Virgo, where the harvest is sorted and the body receives measure. It is the last royal station before Venus begins her abrupt sequence: fall in Virgo during September, domicile in the cardinal air of Libra in October, and detriment in Scorpio through November.

This reading was sealed at the exact hour of Venus entering Leo, at degree zero – thus under a Jupiterian Egyptian bound – with rose incense, also in the planetary hour of Jupiter on the day of the Moon. It took place under the wings of Archangel Haniel of Netzach, the dwelling of the Principalities and the column of Abba; and also under the mantle of Archangel Gabriel, guardian of the Moon, day of Monday and Yesod, the sphere of the Angels. Psalm 83 was read before the drawing of the cards. The spread was cast in four cardinal directions: North, South, West, and East.

Event Date: January 5, 2026

Location: Sana’a, Sana’a Governorate, Yemen

Source: CNN, January 5, 2026

Event

A growing power struggle between the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia is reshaping Yemen’s conflict despite their nominal alignment against the Houthi movement. The rivalry centers on control of ports, local militias, energy routes, and political authority, particularly in southern Yemen. While public messaging emphasizes coordination and stabilization, competing agendas on the ground have deepened fragmentation, complicating ceasefire efforts and prolonging instability in one of the world’s most devastated war zones.

Why it matters biblically

This must be interpreted through Psalm 83’s “crafty counsel” lens, as Yemen’s conflict dynamics involve shifting coalitions and hidden agendas amid regional hostility tied to Israel-adjacent geopolitics. It also reflects White Horse (False Peace)—rhetoric of unity and stabilization alongside covert competition and control, matching end-times patterns of deception and alliance politics that mask continued strife.

Event Date: January 5, 2026

Location: Gaza Strip, Gaza, Israel

Source: Associated Press, January 5, 2026

Event

U.S. President Donald Trump promoted a proposed ceasefire framework for Gaza while active hostilities, Israeli military operations, and Hamas rocket capabilities persisted. The initiative was publicly framed as a pathway to calm and humanitarian relief, yet fighting had not ceased and militant infrastructure remained intact. Hamas and allied regional actors advanced competing narratives portraying Israel as the primary obstacle to peace, while Israel emphasized the necessity of dismantling terrorist networks and securing hostages before any durable ceasefire could exist. The proposal unfolded amid intense diplomatic pressure on Israel despite the absence of verifiable peace conditions on the ground.

Why it matters biblically

This must be interpreted through Psalm 83’s “crafty counsel” lens, as Gaza-related ceasefire initiatives frequently involve coordinated political pressure and narrative manipulation against Israel while hostility continues. It also reflects the White Horse (False Peace)—the promotion of peace in word but not in reality, consistent with end-times warnings of deceptive or premature peace efforts advanced while conflict endures.

Event Date: January 5, 2026

Location: Jerusalem, Jerusalem District, Israel

Source: Associated Press, January 5, 2026

Event

Israeli authorities moved forward with plans to advance new settlement construction in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria), including approvals for housing units and supporting infrastructure. The decision triggered coordinated condemnation from Palestinian leaders, regional actors, and international governments, accompanied by diplomatic pressure and warnings of repercussions. Israeli officials cited security needs, legal processes, and historical claims, while opponents framed the move as destabilizing—amplifying narratives aimed at constraining Israeli sovereignty and policy choices.

Why it matters biblically

This must be interpreted through Psalm 83’s “crafty counsel” lens, as it involves coordinated political pressure and narratives against Israel—actors counseling together to oppose Israel’s actions and legitimacy. It also reflects White Horse dynamics, where territorial control and influence are contested through policy, diplomacy, and international pressure rather than open war, aligning with end-times patterns of conquest without immediate violence.
