Do not use KJV, its not very good translation. Its too old and frequently confuses people who are not native English speakers (and many of them too).

"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."
(Psalm 91:1, NIV)

It can be taking either literally - meaning in the Jewish temple of those times.

Or more generally - if you are walking in the light as the apostle John says, you will rest in Him and in His care.

Or, even better and clearer, the Septuagint:

"He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven. He shall say to the Lord, Thou art my helper and my refuge: my God."

Psalm 90:1

That place is like a present under a Christmas tree placed before Christmas Day.

your life will be a treasured possession of God hidden away in his secret place for safe keeping if you trust in him, much like you or I might keep our most valuable possessions in a "secret place" such as a hidden safe. God treasures and protects his children, just as any good parent would.

Every word of GOD is the TESTIMONY of JESUS...
Every thing that GOD spoke by the prophets through lower signs pointed to the HIGHER and HIDDEN TRUTH and REALITIES found only in CHRIST.

Motion that scoots the clouds, To and fro, invisibility that comes and goes.

The "wind" goes where it listeth...
And we have THIS TREASURE in jars of clay...

Oh that all would know the GIFT of GOD...
They would have asked HIM and HE would have given LIVING WATER

Store up TRUE TREASURE in Heaven
For where the TREASURE is, there also will our hearts be.

Christ alone is our secret place.

He is our life now.

Colossians 3:3 (NASB)
[SUP]3 [/SUP] For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Its the view that is the source of all strange ideas, false prophets and various sects. "There is a hidden mysterious meaning in everything".

My Bible (Revised Standard Version) says it differently:

[1] He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High,
who abides in the shadow of the Almighty,
[2] will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust." Psalms 91:1-2

ONE TRUTH sir

and ONE TESTIMONY



not many

and it is HIS WITNESSES (those who hold to THE TESTIMONY of JESUS) who will testify


you may suggest all that you choose to
but GOD's TESTIMONY is greater
and the man who has received HIS TESTIMONY which HE has given of HIS SON sets to his own (spirit) seal that GOD's WORD is TRUTH

The man who does not accept GOD's TESTIMONY which HE has given of HIS SON in a sense calls GOD a liar
he does not believe GOD's TESTIMONY

CHRIST won't judge the man who does not receive HIS TESTIMONY

There is a judge for the man who doesn't receive HIS TESTIMONY

The very word HE said

the SAME will judge that man
