Psalms 40:4-5
Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5. Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Psalms 40:6-9
Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 7. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 8. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. 9. I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.

“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:” Rev 12:1
The Orthodox Church declares the woman clothed with the sun
as the Theotokos, the perfect symbol of Israel and the Church, in opposition to the powers of evil. She is a radiant bride, the antithesis of the harlot of Rev. 17. The twelve stars represent the twelve tribes of Israel, and may also be understood as symbolizing the twelve apostles.

🇮🇱❌☦️Christian Zionism DESTROYED in 10 Minutes – Russian Orthodox Priest Goes Nuclear!
While American Evangelicals shamelessly shill for Israel, Father Andrei Tkachev—one of Russia’s most prominent priests—delivers a scathing rebuke of attempts to religiously justify the genocide in Gaza:
Biblical Misapplication – Israel weaponizes Old Testament conquests to legitimize modern violence against Palestinians, who are not pagans or idol worshipers.
Dehumanization Parallels – Zionist rhetoric mirrors Nazi ideology—Palestinians are treated as ‘subhuman,’ just as Jews were under Hitler.
Hypocrisy Exposed – Israel is the ‘LGBT capital’ of the Middle East yet cherry-picks religious texts to wage war. This isn’t faith—it’s political manipulation.
Bottom Line: True Christianity rejects genocide masked as prophecy.

Psalms 40:10-11
I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. 11. Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

The Islamic dilemma.
A very good starting point when discussing with Muhammadans or when you find yourself having to defend your faith against this specific heresy.

Psalms 40:12-13
For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. 13. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me.

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. 15. Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
