Looking at the growing chaos happening in the world,
we have to ask ourselves, 'Where does such chaos
come from?' and today’s verse from Micah 2:1
gives the answer to this and draws an import distinction
between SIN and INIQUITY.
While we all sin, the difference between the two is this:
SIN in is -Not- Inquity, but
All INIQUITY -Is- Sin.
Iniquity is not just doing wrong,
but in expressly executing evil. The Apostle Paul
describes these as people that reject any acknowledgement of God,
have depraved minds, and are filled with every kind of
wickedness and malicious behavior. He concludes in
Romans 1:32 saying that those that act this way not only celebrate
these things, but approve of others that also do such things.
As today’s scripture reference says
depraved evil is preceded by deliberate planning.
Those that work iniquity meditate on it
in the darkness of night, then put it into action.
911 was an example of a once unthinkable thought
of crashing jets into buildings.
Such imaginations are inconceivable for a moral mind,
but an expected outcome from a mind of iniquity.
Jesus said the end result of this iniquity will be a time of
great tribulation “..that hasn’t taken place from
the beginning of the world until now - and never will again.”
The only safety from the coming breakdown and anarchy in the world
is in the salvation God offers to all who repent of their
SIN and believe on Christ.
Friend, the signs are all around us. The end of life as we
have known it is coming rapidly to an end. Seek God
and believe this word:
“God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.”
Psalm 46:1
