Are you WICKED?

What JESUS declared:

Matthew 25:46

King James Version

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: 

but the righteous into life eternal.


Who are the wicked?

Are you wicked?

What does the Bible say?

What is the future of the wicked?

Let SPIRIT and Scripture tell us GOD's stand.

Starting with a psalm from king David:

Psalm 55:1-3

King James Version

55 Give ear to my prayer, O God; 

and hide not thyself from my supplication.

2 Attend unto me, and hear me: 

I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

3 Because of the voice of the enemy, 

because of the oppression of the wicked: 

for they cast iniquity upon me, 

and in wrath they hate me.


Psalm 55:9

King James Version

9 Destroy, O Lord, 

and divide their tongues: 

for I have seen violence and strife in the city.


Psalm 55:10

King James Version

10 Day and night they go about it 

upon the walls thereof: 

mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.


Psalm 55:11

King James Version

11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: 

deceit and guile depart not from her streets.


Psalm 55:15

King James Version

15 Let death seize upon them, 

and let them go down quick into hell: 

for wickedness is in their dwellings, 

and among them.


Psalm 55:19

King James Version

19 God shall hear, and afflict them, 

even he that abideth of old. Selah. 

Because they have no changes, 

therefore they fear not God.


Psalm 55:21

King James Version

21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, 

but war was in his heart: 

his words were softer than oil, 

yet were they drawn swords.


Psalm 55:23

King James Version

23 But thou, O God, 

shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: 

bloody and deceitful men 

shall not live out half their days; 

but I will trust in thee.


In SUMMARY, according to king David, wicked men produce:

oppression of the wicked

they cast iniquity upon me

in wrath they hate me

violence and strife

Day and night they go about it 

mischief

deceit and guile

they have no changes

they fear not God

war was in his heart

yet were they drawn swords

bloody and deceitful men


That's but a small sampling of man's wickedness.

From which the world is reeling.

On the road to destruction.
