...So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;

It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I desire,
And achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

They are like chaff that the wind blows away...


Evil will be judged. The individual responsible; who lives evil, relishes evil and teaches others to do the same; will be judged. And judged completely... but it does not mean we rejoice in the judgement of evil people. We rejoice in the judgement of evil actions, the exposing of evil philosophies, theologies, falsehoods, etc... but not concerning individuals. Because it is a grievous thing, a sad thing and something we as believers must view 'while holding our hands over our mouths, bowing our heads in humility before a righteous God' Job 40:4 & 42:2-6..."For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God”. Ephesians 2:8

We oppose evil...we fight it... we expose it. This is right and good to do... but let us keep our hearts and motives pure. We want lies and deception to be brought to full light because lies and deceptions are also grievous. This is good, this is right to want this... but we must not rejoice in the final judgement of evil men, only in the downfall of evil actions and evil ways. We must stand soberly when their judgement comes, for our own judgement of our own previous lost state was paid for dearly by the precious blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is His graciousness and sacrifice that has rescued us and set us free. Without Christ... we could have been them...Therefore, let us be sober when the wicked fall and recognize that they are truly lost and will be cast into outer darkness from whence there will be no return, ever. The judgement of the ungodly, the wicked and unrighteous, is sad and grievous and we must have the mind and heart of God where He Himself has stated, “I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked...” Ezekiel 18:32 and therefore, neither should we.

...not so the wicked, they are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For God watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish”
Psalm 1:4-6
