The wicked will not inhabit the earth

We all know those whose heart and mind are set on doing wickedness, but the day will come when the separation will be complete and the sheep and goat’s will be set apart. (Matthew 25:31-46).  At that time only those who chose to do righteousness will inherit the earth when the seventh trump sounds and the Lord reign’s for all eternity! (Revelation 11:15) And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

The way of the wicked is as darkness before them and as the children of light in the Lord we are instructed not to enter their path (Proverbs 4:14-19) Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

There will always be those who only believe that God loves everything and hates nothing, but this is just not true nor is it biblical, for God is angry with the wicked every day and His soul hates the wickedness that some people choose (Psalm 11:4-7) The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

For those who love the Lord and His ways it is hard to understand why anyone would turn their back on God or to never even think about Him, yet to the wicked God is not in all their thought’s! (Psalm 10:4-7) The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

The wicked believe their actions somehow are hid from God, and usually ban together with like minded people. Scripture teaches they may ban together in their ungodly acts, but God does not allow them to go unpunished! Sadly they do not realize they are pursuing their own death (Proverbs 11:17-21) The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death. They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.  Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
