Notice that in this Strong Theme, the first three commandments, Have no gods before Me; Do not make graven images to worship; and Do not profane My name, are all included in a single smaller chiasm as the 2A pair. The Chiastic Structure is teaching us, therefore, that YHVH first loved us (1A pair) by bringing us to Himself and treasuring us as His people above all the people on the earth, and proposing this marriage covenant with us, and we respond in love to Him (2A pair) by keeping His commandments that teach us how to love YHVH, which are, commandments 1-3.
Psalm 56, Chiastic structure

This is where King David’s confidence in the face of his enemies comes from. Yes, vows men make to God are binding upon them. But God has made vows to men that are binding upon Him. He obeys His own word. This is the sense of, “Thy vows are upon me.” Therefore I will not be afraid, for God-I-will-praise-His-word has made promises to me which He will keep! ♥
Romans 11, Last first, first last

There is an unscriptural doctrine out there called Replacement Theology. Replacement theology says that the Church replaces Israel in God’s plan; the many promises made to Israel in the Bible are allegorized into promises meant for the Church. Romans 11 completely destroys that theology, as well as many passages from the Hebrew Testament. As antisemitism is on the rise again in our day, it is important to understand exactly what the Bible says. (If you run across someone teaching this theology, RUN! They are revealing a profound biblical illiteracy.)
