However, to God my soul is likened, for from Him comes my salvation. As it says (2 Chronicles 20:12), "For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You." He is my rock and my salvation. What is my rock?
When adversity comes upon me in this world, in return for the adversity that comes upon me, He will save me. My refuge will not falter greatly. Gehenna is called a great place where the wicked fall and cannot stand. As it says (Joel 4:13-14), "Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe.
Come, go down; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow--for their wickedness is great." Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For every one of them the day of judgment is like the decision of the winepress. At that time, my refuge will not falter greatly.
As it says (Joel 4:16), "The Lord also will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; the heavens and earth will shake; but the Lord will be a shelter for His people, and the strength of the children of Israel." Similarly, the sons of Korah say (Psalm 46:7), "The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah."
