“…[God] shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their wickedness: yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.”  (Psalm 94)

 

We will preface this article with the precept that one must not take personal pleasure in the destruction of an enemy. One cannot have great happiness when the wicked are mowed over by God.

The Christ-ian can and will be pleased to see God execute His vengeance upon the enemies of God and God’s people. But we are not to ever take personal pleasure or personal satisfaction in the destruction of another. We will see God glorified in the destruction of His enemies and we can rejoice in that Glory, but not have a cold blackness of personal veneance in our hearts that can be felt.

When God cuts one off, God is cutting off a creation in His Own Image and there must not be pleasure or giddiness in any destruction of an Image of God. If you have a personal pleasure in the downing of another, you know not what spirit ye are of.  Are we all on the same page?

Having written all of that, we will (DV) look into the destruction that the wicked, the self-centered, the self-exalting, the abusers of what God has given them and those that use their temporal power to vex the life and lives of others under their ruthless reign should expect from the Most High God, the LORD of Hosts, and the Closer of all open accounts on the behalf of His elect and holy people.

The  wicked and reprobated persons who use or rather abuse their power, their authority, their status, their reach that is due to their celebrity: to bully, to seduce, to intellectually rape, to influence, to coax, to incite, to instigate, to conform others to their likeness, to hurt, to harm, to gain, and to profit shall be cut down by The Power and THe Authority they sought to be in their tiny kingdom of me, me, me, and only me. God will be greatly glorified when He advances forward upon His helpless and hopeless enemies.

When God’s Holy Wrath, Holy Vengeance, Holy Justice, and Holy Fury is satisfied, the people of God will rejoice in the Righteousness of God.  When the puny humans receive their just rewards for their ungodliness and their pride-filled, God affronting actions, thoughts and feelings the people of God will live in peace with their Great, Good, and Graciously Governing God.

“…[H]e shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in [H]is wrath. The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. So that a man shall say, verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily [H]e is God that judgeth in the earth.”  (Psalm 58)

“Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not: and make their loins continually to shake. Pour out [T]hine indignation upon them, and let [T]hy wrathful anger take hold of them. Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents….add iniguity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into [T]hy righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous (Selected Psalms from Psalm 69).
