Biblical Study of Human Wickedness[/b]

This study will continue throughout the book of Proverbs it will be added to each week.

****Proverbs 2:22 But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous will be rooted out of it.

The roots of the wicked run deep in our world, so deep they reach to where sin entered into our world. But God has a new heavens and earth where righteousness dwells, and no wicked root can spring up. God has a holy root and from that root grows righteousness into a heavens and the a new earth into a kingdom that cannot be corrupted, nor shaken by any human unrighteousness that is why God say “I am creating all things new, and my saying are righteous and true.”

Those loving righteousness are torment by the unrighteousness of the wicked whom mock God, mock justice, mock families, mock headship, mock man created in God's image. Although, evil persist long there is one above whom see all the hearts of men small and great, he will not lie, he will not give glory to the wicked and he has promised the wicked will be removed from among his righteous one. Come quickly Lord Jesus!

Job 5:3 I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

Proverbs 12:3 A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

Isaiah 5:24 Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of Yahweh of Armies, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Malachi 4:1 "For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up," says Yahweh of Armies, "that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Matthew 13:6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.

Revelation 5:5 One of the elders said to me, "Don't weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals."

Revelation 22:16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David; the Bright and Morning Star."

Revelation 21:1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.

Revelation 21:2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.

Revelation 21:5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

Proverbs 3:25 Don't be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes:

Does God love liars? Does God condone lying? Does God delight and glee at wickedness? Can we honestly answer those questions? It is one thing to say no God does not do any of those things, but it is quiet another when we ask ourselves and nobody else; “do I believe God is righteous and true and he will bring and end to all wickedness on earth and in heaven?”

2Pet.3:4 and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
3:5 For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water, by the word of God; 3:6 by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.

[b][i]Let us know, because all in our world are saying it and doing it does not mean God is condoning it! Let us not be fooled by the so called standards of human justice and/or fairness, why?
[/i][/b]
Isaiah 4:4 when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from its midst, by the spirit of justice, and by the spirit of burning.

Isaiah 28:17 I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.

Isaiah 29:21 who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.

The heavens of this old earth we may have not realized it wittingly, or unwittingly those kingdoms of manind are going to be shaken; all of them shaken right to their very core. Nothing will stand, not one thing in mankind's kingdoms is going to stand or become God's standard of justice or fairness.

Isaiah 40:14 Who did he take counsel with, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding?

Isaiah 56:1 Thus says Yahweh, Keep you justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

Those with high thoughts that thinks their standards are God's standards, let remember Christ standards that a look at the opposite sex, one evil word, one lie is death to God and against his standards. The question is for all of us, who can stand when it comes to God's standards of justice?

Heb.12:18 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm, 12:19 the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them, 12:20 for they could not stand that which was commanded, "If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned{TR adds "or shot with an arrow" [see Exodus 19:12-13]};"{Exodus 19:12-13} 12:21 and so fearful was the appearance, that Moses said, "I am terrified and trembling."{Deuteronomy 9:19}

None, and that is the point of this proverb, we should know who can stand when the inevitable comes and it will without doubt come as it did at Noah's time. Do we know who stand? Many boast that they do by reading their bibles, many try real hard to live up to their bibles good and righteous commandments and laws, but none stand in works, no, not one.

Isaiah 59:8 The way of peace they don't know; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whoever goes therein does not know peace.

Isaiah 59:9 Therefore is justice far from us, neither does righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but, behold, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.

For that is the measure we measure out to each other as humans, we all are a very shakable kingdoms compared to the new heavens; we judging ourselves as worthy of God justice, but are those God's standards? No! And that is why one bad report shakes all kingdoms of mankind into covering up, lying, telling a person nice things while plotting evil against their neighbor.

Isaiah 59:14 Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness can't enter.

Isaiah 59:15 Yes, truth is lacking; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Yahweh saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.

How does one stand when the wicked one is swept away by God righteous anger? That person better be found in God's undeserved kindness. They better be found in the one person that is God's righteousness. They better be found in God's love, and they better be found in God's light. The standing for all mankind is in one person, one kingdom that cannot be shaken.

Isaiah 61:8 For I, Yahweh, love justice, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

Jeremiah 9:24 but let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says Yahweh.

James 1:20 for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God.

1 Peter 2:24 who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.

Matt.7:2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.

Christ Jesus, he alone is God's door to salvation, Christ is God's ark, but we better be living and applying the rules of Christ righteousness or we are not in Christ. What is the rule of Christ, the law of Christ. Its no secret, but it is mystery for the wicked. We must apply the same love God has shown us to all others, which is unmerited kindness.

Rom.13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

1 John 4:11 Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

We mustn't be like the nations judging and being judged, return evil for evil, looking at the speck in each other eye, while evil exist in our own eye as big as a tree. If we practice such things in God's name we are shaken, shaken constantly which is a sign of our own judgment coming. A judgment the flesh will soon find out, a judgment we we cannot talk our way out of by excuses that we refuse to make for others!

James.3:2 For in many things we all stumble. If anyone doesn't stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

Matt.7:4 Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye;' and behold, the beam is in your own eye?
7:5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.

Exacting purity from another eye while we don't stand in our own righteousness but Christ is a big as hypocrite as one can become.

****Proverbs 3:33 Yahweh's curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.

Let it be said that many wicked people seem not to be cursed, they get away with sometime a life time of doing wickedness, so how indeed is God's curse in their house?

Ps.73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.
73:3 For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
73:4 For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.
73:5 They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.
73:6 Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.
73:7 Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
73:8 They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
73:9 They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.
73:10 Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.
73:11 They say, "How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?"
73:12 Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.

First, God has a household, and in particular he speaks to that household in the book of Proverbs. In fact, the holy writing found in our bible are point specific written to God's household, not everyone in this world. That household was Israel, a nation birthed by God YHWH himself.

Isaiah 54:5 For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of Armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called.

Jeremiah 3:14 Return, backsliding children, says Yahweh; for I am a husband to you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:

Jeremiah 3:20 Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so have you dealt treacherously with me, house of Israel, says Yahweh.

That same nation was dedicated to God as their husbandly owner which made their children of Israel the fruit of that marriage covenant. If one was to become wicked within that household that household had God's personal curse upon it.

Deuteronomy 30:1 It shall happen, when all these things are come on you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations, where Yahweh your God has driven you,

God himself was watching and acting upon that dedicated wife of his Israel.

Now we are not saying God condones any type of wickedness, no he does not! False religion however makes blanket statement that verses like this apply to everyone, but they don't so what happens is people see God as condoning wickedness when often wicked people are in good standing within their religion are practicing vile things and are being called blessed, by God because of their position!

2 Thessalonians 2:10 and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Malachi 4:1 "For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up," says Yahweh of Armies, "that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

Moreover, we see wickedness entrenched within some governments that claim God as the birther of their nation. That wickedness and corruption many go on for hundreds of years and be enshrined in great men and woman in its history.

God still has a household that household is God spiritual Israel starting with Christ. Those in Christ born again into his body are God's household and one can and should believe each one is under fire of God's Son's discipline that discipline is not seen or touted or known by this world, but it has continual non-stop since the Holy Spirit was poured out upon Christ apostles.

Matthew 24:45 "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

Hebrews 3:6 but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

We must remember when that judgment is done, completed by the Son of God, then and only then Christ will bring his wrath upon all wickedness on this earth.

Rev.7:1 After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.

Rev. 7:3 saying, "Don't harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!"

To have faith in that is hard, it hard to believe God cares in a field of corrupt weeds, but let us remember God's angels and Christ are in control, they have held back the evil that will sweep this world when they loses the four winds after the sealing of God's anointed left upon this earth. Once the sealing is done so will come the judgment of all wickedness. They will soon and quickly learn that God is not blessing their wicked ways, they will no longer be honored in the presents of our Lord and savorier Christ Jesus.

Proverbs 18:12 Before destruction the heart of man is proud, but before honor is humility.

Proverbs 20:3 It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife; but every fool will be quarreling.

Proverbs 25:27 It is not good to eat much honey; nor is it honorable to seek one's own honor.

Good people hate wickedness and they don't condone it, corruption set into men's hearts because they have many agendas that keeps them from acting against wickedness. Mankind was not created to deal with wickedness, they were created in God's love to live in peace never knowing or seeing wickedness. That is why its imperative for each child of God to let God deal with wickedness by the power of his thorn given to Christ Jesus, and for them to live and trust in Christ and his unshakable kingdom that will set all matter right in heaven and upon earth.

Heb.12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,
12:23 to the general assembly and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
12:24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant,{Jeremiah 31:31} and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.
12:25 See that you don't refuse him who speaks. For if they didn't escape when they refused him who warned on the Earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
12:26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens."{Haggai 2:6}
12:27 This phrase, "Yet once more," signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
12:28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can't be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
12:29 for our God is a consuming fire.{Deuteronomy 4:24}
