Psalms 37:1-3, “Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good...”
There are two famous chapters in the Bible book of Psalms which encourage
Christian believers not to become discouraged by the prosperity of the
wicked. These chapters are Psalms 37 and 73. They are easy to remember
because you can turn the numbers around and they're the opposite of each
other. It is frustrating to a born-again Christian who's trying to live for
the Lord to constantly be surrounded by a wicked society of heathens that
just don't care. They don't care about truth. They don't care about
morality. They don't care about ethics (doing the right thing). They don't
care about others (beyond what they do to feel good about themselves, or to
be seen for the praise of man). The sinful world doesn't truly care. That's
why America, one of the wealthiest nations on earth, also has one of the
largest homeless populations.
Please read the following awesome Scripture passage from Psalm 37, which proclaims God's promise to every Christian that things can only end in everlasting damnation for the wicked, but eternal life and blessing for the righteous...
Psalms 37:1-13, “Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.”
What beautiful and precious truths! The Bible tells us to wait upon the Lord, committing our way unto Him, resting in Jesus to make everything right in God's good time. The Bible tells us not to get frustrated while we wait and the wicked are prospering. In 2013 in America the wicked are prospering. They have control of our nation and our government. Sodomites have infiltrated everything and are all over society. Homosexual celebrities have been promoted by the homosexuals in Hollywood for the past 50 years. Without debate the most sinister forces to ever come against the United States is the newsmedia, the banking cartel, booze, feminism, abortion, Hollywood and the music industry. The wicked are all living on borrowed time from God...
Psalms 37:1-13, “Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass... The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.”
Did you read that... THE LORD SHALL LAUGH AT HIM: FOR HE SEETH HIS DAY COMING. Oh! I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the wicked for any reason. We are all mere skeletons covered with flesh, having the spirit which God gave to us the moment we were conceived. That spirit will return to God when we die and our flesh can no longer house the soul (Ecclesiastes 12:7). Then the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). Hebrews 10:31 says it is a FEARFUL thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Man's arrogance will come to an end. There are many evil people in this world, which the Bible warns God will punish (Isaiah 13:11).
Repeatedly we are warned in the Bible that God HATES the sin of pride, a proud look and arrogance. Proverbs 8:13, “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.” So we see that not hating evil is pride. Most Americans are extremely proud. Not hating abortion is sinful pride, because God said not to kill (Exodus 20:13). Anything that goes against the Word of God is wicked pride and arrogance. The U.S. Supreme Court is extremely arrogant, flaunting their power over God's Commandments. God hates a gossiping, slandering, tale-bearing, cursing, lying mouth (Proverbs 6:16-19). I am so glad that God is a righteous God and hates evil. What a horror it would be if the God of the universe were corrupt, selfish and biased unfairly as are earthly humans. God gave up His only begotten Son for us, which is the ultimate expression of love (1st John 3:16).
When I am tempted to envy the wicked who seem to be enjoying life so much, I am quickly reminded of Psalms 37:1-13, where God says their day of reckoning is coming!!! It may seem like a lot of fun to some people to go around the world in a famous Rock band, playing guitar and singing, having tens-of-thousands of people enjoying the music. The band U2 is world famous, enjoying their Rock music and eating at the Devil's table. Ah! But all Satan's apples have worms!
The Bible teaches that even if wicked men like Hugh Hefner (founder of Playboy magazine, who shamelessly has sex orgies with young beautiful women) live to be 100 years old, it won't go well for them on judgment day in eternity. Hugh Hefner is a Christ-rejecter. Ecclesiastes 8:12, “Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him.” Hugh Hefner and tens-of-millions of adulterous men like him are in trouble with the Lord. Hebrews 13:4, “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” I don't condemn anyone, for we are all sinners in God's eyes (Romans 3:23; James 2:10). Thank God for the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ that washes our sins away (1st Peter 1:18-19). God wants to pardon Mr. Hefner's sins (2nd Peter 3:9), but Hefner loves his sins and; therefore, won't come to the light as John 3:20 and John 1:4-5 teach.
Sin hinders men from coming to the Lord. John 3:20, “For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” People who love their sins run from the Lord. Some people pervert the gospel in an attempt to force sinners to cease from their sinful bad habits to be saved; but that's not possible nor necessary in view of John 3:20, because the Bible says sin keeps men from coming to the light.
The wicked world lives for wine, women and song. The Bible
teaches that the PLEASURES of sin are only temporary, but they are PLEASURES
(Hebrews 11:25). Sin is fun, which is why people do it; but the consequences
are God's judgment (Hebrews 9:27). Many Rock singers and wealthy people live in gross
immorality, fornicating with
5,000 or more
women over time. It may seem like they got away with it, but Hebrews
13:4 says whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. If you are
envious of the wicked as a Christian, consider the end of the wicked.
They're not glorifying God with their lives. They're not helping anybody
find the way to Heaven. They're unsaved and
hellbound in their sins. Consider again the powerful statement from the
Bible... Ecclesiastes 8:12, “Though a sinner do evil an hundred times,
and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them
that fear God, which fear before him.” I fear God and I hope you do
too.
The Evils Of Rock Music, Which Is Idolatry!
Perhaps the most deadly of all of moral threats is the commercialized music industry, which is not recognized by most people for the evil that it really is... IDOLATRY!!! Taylor Swift has captured the hearts of millions of youth, leading them away from God and into lascivious sensuality, lewdness and immodest clothing. Once the singer grips the hearts of millions of fans, eventually the singer leads them into apostasy, sin and rebellion against God in one form or another. Be leery of any celebrity promoted by the media.
I was reading the Bible today and I noticed something for the first time in the Epistle of First John...
1st John 5:19-21, “And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.”
KEEP YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS!!! When most people think about an idol they think about a small statue; such as, Laban's idol collection which his daughter Rachel had stolen to spite her father. Notice in Genesis 31:30 that the Bible calls the idols “gods.” Genesis 31:30, “And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?” Lest you should doubt whether modern-day Rock, Blues, Jazz, Gospel, Country and Pop singers are worshipped as gods by their fans, consider a quote from world famous rocker, Frank Zappa. Rocker Frank Zappa (who discovered the awful truth December 4, 1993 the second he died) proudly boasted...
"I'm the devil's advocate. We have our own worshippers who are called 'groupies.' Girls will give their bodies to musicians as you would give a sacrifice to a god." (Peters Brothers, What About Christian Rock, p. 17)
Frank Zappa admits what anyone in the music industry already knows, that is, that sex and Rock music are synonymous. Country music is even worse in many ways, because people don't perceive the inherent dangers. Country music is some of the filthiest, most sexually perverted, adulterous, rebellious, sensual, feminist, ungodly, blasphemous, suicidal, homewrecking music on the planet. Besides that, much Country music is retarded, appealing to people with lesser intelligence. Taverns, wet t-shirt contests, divorce, booze and fist-fights all go hand-in-hand with Country music. Truthfully, there's not a dime's difference between Country and Rock music at the top levels of the industry. This is why producers have Dolly Parton (a bimbo loser who falsely claims to be a Christian) singing Led Zeppelin's satanic song, “Stairway To Heaven.” Johnny Cash sang Danzig's occult song, “Thirteen.” These people have become filthy rich, living high-on-the-hog by serving the Devil throughout their wicked careers.
A choice of career says a lot about a person. A lot of young women are choosing careers in the secular world, forfeiting motherhood, turned aside after Satan. The powers behind the New World Order which are corrupting America are making it almost impossible for a young Christian married couple to live as a traditional family anymore, where the father works and the mother stays home as a homemaker and mother. The only thing worse than a career woman is a lazy woman whose husband goes to work daily, but he comes home to a dirty house, canned food and an argumentative wife. If the husband gets upset, then the wife calls 911 and he is accused of being an abusive husband. Shame on all you lazy wives and mothers!
The mega Rock band KISS is one of the most evil groups in the world. Gene Simmons is really a Jew (Chaim Witz) who founded the satanic band KISS decades ago. Simmons flashes the El Diablo “I love Satan” sign in concert, while looking up and shaking his head in rebellion against God, as fake blood squirts out of his mouth all over the place. In their concert a band member says, “And then God says to us, Rock 'N' Roll and party everyday!” One of KISS' sick and blasphemous songs is titled “God Gave Rock 'N' Roll To You.” In an interview with TV Guide, Gene Simmons bragged that he had sex with 4,897 women throughout his career.
Please understand that I don't condemn anyone, for the Bible condemns all of us as guilty, dirty, rotten, hell-deserving sinners. It is not my place to condemn anyone. My salvation solely rests in Christ's righteousness, because of the precious blood that He gave for our sins. I am the biggest sinner I know (and so are you if you're right with God. James 2:10 teaches that we are all equally as sinful in God's eyes concerning our own self-righteousness. No one can impress God in their own merit (Romans 3:23; Isaiah 64:6).
Eddie Van Halen has an estimated net worth of $85,000,000. Sean “P. Diddy” Combs owned a 7,858 square foot home, which he sold in 2001. I guess it wasn't big enough. Katy Perry bought a $2,700,000 penthouse high-rise in New York. Millions of the world's wealthiest people are also the world's most wicked people, which is how they became rich. Very few people become rich in this world by being honest. The fast-track to wealth is almost always an immoral, unethical, dishonest, manipulative and evil path. 1st Timothy 6:10 teaches that the LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil.
Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue comments: "We never set out to be anybody's role model. But since we have become that, we are trying to give our fans something to believe in. On the second album, we told them to "Shout at the Devil." A lot of people... think that song is about Satan. That's not true. It's about standing up to authority, whether it is your parents, your teacher or your boss. That is pretty good advice, I think. But I'm sure that any parent who hears it is going to think it is treason." (Rock Beat, 1989 p. 41)
Notice carefully that Nikki Sixx of the Motley Crue heavy-metal band stated that their music is all about “STANDING UP TO AUTHORITY.” The powers behind the New World Order are doing everything in their power to cause civil unrest and riots in the United States, because then they'll have a pretext to use justifiable deadly force against U.S. citizens and destroy society as we know it. Out of chaos will arise a New World Order. That's what the Latin words say on the back of every U.S. one dollar bill.
Styx's music contained backward masking and faithful Christians exposed them back in the 1980's. Styx responded by going public with what they couldn't hide anymore, that is, that their music contained subliminal messages cleverly hidden from the listener. The human brain is incredibly powerful and can interpret backwards messages subliminally without the conscious mind detecting it.
Part of the impetus for the Kilroy story was the band's reaction to accusations of including backwards satanic messages embedded in their prior releases. The album included James Young's song "Heavy Metal Poisoning", which includes lyrics sarcastically mocking the allegations against the group. Its introduction intentionally included a backward message, the Latin phrases, "annuit coeptis" and "novus ordo seclorum," from the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States. Referring to the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, these are translated, "Annuit cœptis - He (God) favors our undertakings, and Novus ordo seclorum - A new order of the ages." Both choices also served the Kilroy story as well, as the villain is an evangelist that seeks to expand his vision of morality movement through mass demonstrations.
SOURCE: Styx (band)
Do you think it is mere coincidence that Styx put the same Masonic occult message on the reverse of every U.S. one dollar bill? Not on your life! Styx and their occult producers know exactly what they are doing. The entire music industry in America is controlled by the New World Order gang, and they are sold out to the Devil (the evil god of this evil world - 2nd Corinthians 4:4).
It seems that nearly everyone is selling out to wickedness these days. Thousands of celebrities promoted by the New World Order have captured the hearts of hundreds-of-millions of Americans, leading them all to support evil and rebellion. As the world becomes more evil, people are embracing it. Television is saturated with shameful smut, filthy garbage and evil agendas. God is not a part of any of this wickedness.
Psalms 37:1-13, “Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass... The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.”
The wicked Rock 'N' Roll band, STYX, blasphemes God with their careers and music. Original band member, Charles (Chuck) Panozzo admitted to the world in 2000 that he is a homosexual living with A.I.D.S.! Most people don't realize the dark agenda, wickedness and Godless lives behind the music industry (and that includes Country and religious music as well). Sadly, most people don't CARE and that's what immorality does to a culture. If you've been trying to figure out why so much sleaze, sexual filth and immorality has been dumped on the American public by the music, entertainment and television industries, it's simply because the powers behind the New World Order want as many people to STOP CARING as possible. That gives them the upper hand, total freedom to do as they please, because society has become weak and vulnerable. America could become just like Communist China or North Korea. Immorality causes people to stop caring, stop fighting for decency, stop speaking out against evil, stop believing the Word of God, et cetera. Either sin will keep you from the Bible or the Bible will keep you from sin. That's why the sinful world hates the Bible.
Homosexual singers are deliberately being chosen, groomed and promoted by the occult-driven music industry to lead America into destruction, sodomy and Hell. Overnight instant success, boy-toy Justin Bieber is a bisexual. Justin Bieber Is DESTROYING Young Girls!!! PARENTS PLEASE WAKE UP!!!!
BAD COMPANY sings their hit song, “Live For The Music.” That's Aleister Crowley's life's motto, that is, “Do As Thou Will Shall Be The Whole Of The Law.” That's why The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Ozzy Osbourne and hundreds of other Rock bands revere Crowley and his satanic religion. Crowley professed to be “The Most Wicked Man In The World.” Aleister was a pervert, bisexual, drug-addict, alcoholic, adulterer, occultist, liar and blasphemer against God (and that was on a good day).
The demonic band JUDAS PRIEST (the name alone is blasphemy against God) also uses backward masking. Back in the early days of the band they were sued and taken to court, accused of including subliminal messages into their music. The band's frontman and flaming homosexual, Rob Halford denied the accusations in court, which today cannot be denied anymore. Thousands of Rock and mainstream music groups have used been caught inserting deceptive backward masking into their music. Even the so-called evangelical wholesome boy band from New Jersey, THE JONAS BROTHERS included backward masking in their song, KIDS OF THE FUTURE which says “I speak for Satan, Satan, Satan. My sweet forsaken Satan, Satan!!!” The big question is why? The obvious answer is that some evil people are trying to trick your mind, inserting thoughts into your brain that you (under normal circumstances) would likely never approve of.
The lead singer (frontman) of the heavy-metal band JUDAS PRIEST is a flaming homosexual. For decades rugged men have been idolizing Judas Priest as a tough, manly group because of their heavy-metal, black leather, spikes and tattoos. All of a sudden, in 1998, the lead singer announces that he's a homosexual. This is more proof that all Rock music is saturated and rooted in sexual perversion, the New World Order and rebellion against God. Hell hath enlarged herself (Isaiah 5:14). The music industry is saturated with lesbians and homosexuals. It is very common for Rock singers to dress like transvestites. There's an evil spirit in Rock music that compels singers and musicians to do bizarre, freakish and demented things. Many Rock stars puke out fake blood in concert; such as Kiss and Motley Crue.
In one of Motley Crue's concerts a whorish woman comes out on stage with an actual electric grinder, touching it to her breasts and private area (covered with a shaped metal plate), causing sparks to fly for about 10 feet toward the audience. This is the sicko minds of the Rock music industry. You wouldn't believe the insane, demonic and shameful things that go on during Rock concerts. Some bands toss butchered animal parts and blood during concert, others defecate on stage, et cetera. Marilyn Manson pierced his own chest in a concert, and the blood ran down his body. You never hear anyone criticize these crazy people; but faithful preachers who help tens-of-thousands of people, even millions like Pastor Jack Hyles are demonized on the internet. Gene Simmons boasts in his autobiography on having sex with 4
As with all lies of Satan, the evil people perpetrating backward masking make excuses in an attempt to legitimize the practice...
Backmasking is often used for aesthetics, i.e., to enhance the meaning or sound of a track. During the Judas Priest subliminal message trial, lead singer Rob Halford admitted to recording the words "In the dead of the night, love bites" backwards into the track "Love Bites", from the 1984 album Defenders of the Faith. Asked why he recorded the message, Halford stated that "When you're composing songs, you're always looking for new ideas, new sounds." Stanley Kubrick used "Masked Ball", an adaptation by Jocelyn Pook of her earlier work "Backwards Priests" (from the album Flood) featuring reversed Romanian chanting, as the background music for the masquerade ball scene in Eyes Wide Shut.

In QUEEN'S song, “Another One Bites The Dust,” playing the song backwards says “It's fun to smoke marijuana.” I could give you thousands of examples. Clearly, much deception is happening in the music industry, just like the lying newsmedia and HollyWEIRD. Most people have no idea how much deception is all around us these days. Everything is a lie, from false religion to our defunct government. I am saddened as I think about how deceived 99% of America has become. But I don't feel sorry for people because they have chosen to reject the Word of God. It's an individual choice!
There are tens-of-thousands of music concerts every year in America, which influence tens-of-millions of cheering fans. The bands blaspheme God and promote praise of images. Have you noticed that all the concerts now have several giant screens behind them behind the stage, flashing images throughout the concert? Many concerts; such as Paul McCartney's, display giant pyramids and all-see-eyes. The New World Order is going to succeed through music! In the Bible, Nebuchadnezzar ordered that all the people bow to his obelisk IMAGE when they heard the music play (Daniel 3:5-7).
It can be frustrating for believers who are genuinely serving the Lord to see wicked people having a good time, partying, and enjoying the best that life has to offer. The wicked are totally consumed with themselves. It can be frustrating for a struggling believer to know that an evil person like Oprah Winfrey makes $350,000,000 a year!!! Yet, we rejoice as the Lord told us in John 16:33, knowing that we are in Christ and not of this wicked world. I love 1st John 5:20...
1st John 5:19-21, “And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.”
Isn't that beautiful, the Lord has GIVEN US AN UNDERSTANDING, THAT WE MAY KNOW HIM THAT IS TRUE!!! The heathen world does NOT know Jesus, and their minds and hearts are in darkness. They saw the light but the Bible says in John 1:5 that THEY COMPREHENDED IT NOT. John 1:4-5, “In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” I once witnessed to a co-worker who said, “That born-again stuff never made any sense to me.” He's is hellbound in the sin of UNBELIEF. It doesn't make sense to him because he doesn't believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. If you don't believe that Jesus miraculously arose from the dead, then you are NOT saved (Romans 10:9-10).
Psalms 37:1-13, “Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass... The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.”
Proverbs 14:34, “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.”
BLESSED BY THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!
