Ezekiel 9:9-10 New Living Translation (NLT)

⁹ Then he said to me, “The sins of the people of Israel and Judah are very, very great. The entire land is full of murder; the city is filled with injustice. They are saying, ‘The Lord doesn’t see it! The Lord has abandoned the land!’ ¹⁰ So I will not spare them or have any pity on them. I will fully repay them for all they have done.”

b) It is a lie to say that GOD does not see what is going on...He does.

Job 35:14 New Living Translation (NLT)

¹⁴ You say you can’t see him,
    but he will bring justice if you will only wait.

c) That is hard to do. But we must wait.

d) There is an amazing scripture we need to look at...it explains why injustice, sin and unrighteousness continue to flourish.

e) This verse gives great comfort ...

Ecclesiastes 8:11 New Living Translation (NLT)

¹¹ When a crime is not punished quickly, people feel it is safe to do wrong.

f) In KJV: "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil."

g) GOD will take care of it - the issue we struggle with is GOD's timing!

h) GOD lets it all run its course, then He judges. Sometimes like Ananias and Sapphira it is much quicker...

2 Chronicles 19:7 New Living Translation (NLT)

⁷ Fear the Lord and judge with integrity, for the Lord our God does not tolerate perverted justice, partiality, or the taking of bribes.”

Job 36:6 New Living Translation (NLT)

⁶ He does not let the wicked live
    but gives justice to the afflicted.

   
i) But here is our problem...

Job 36:17 New Living Translation (NLT)

¹⁷ But you are obsessed with whether the godless will be judged.

j) Don’t worry, judgment and justice will be upheld." This is GOD speaking...

k) See where our focus is? Let's stop this nonsense immediately! GOD is in complete control, no matter who tries to tell you otherwise...

l) We have the freedom to choose GOD information out of the Bible, or the wisdom of the world - which is serpent inspired. We know that most of the world do not have or have ignored their free access to GOD's wisdom through Jesus Christ, so we are not to judge them, or worry about GOD taking care of the sin problem with each of them - our sole concern should be our own "spiritual heart" and our obedience to the word and the Holy Spirit of GOD each and every day.
