The Unrighteous Prosperity of the Wicked – A Trap for the Soul
- “The Rich Man Thinks He Is Wise”
“The rich man thinks he is wise, but the poor man has understanding.”
Proverbs 28:11
Wealth and power easily make people arrogant, believing that they can hide all their sins and escape punishment. In fact, the wicked once flourished like “a green tree in its native land,” but one day, they suddenly “are gone; you seek them, but they cannot find them” (Proverbs 27:18).
- God Judges and Protects the Righteous
“The Lord watches over the steps of those who please him; though they stumble, they do not fall.”
Psalm 37:23–24
In contrast to the fate of the wicked, “the righteous may fall seven times, and rise again” (Proverbs 24:16). In all circumstances, if the soul places its trust in God, He will preserve and sustain it, no matter how severe the trial.
- The Promise of Fair Retribution
“You who persecute you, because you hated My name first.”
—Acts 5:41–42
Jesus warned that whoever “touches you touches the children of My eyes” (Isaiah 49:16). The righteous will be protected by Him, while the wicked, “because the errors of their lives are exposed,” will face immediate consequences.
- “Worms” and the Power of the Spirit
The Bible describes wild animals as “worms that do not perish in the eternal fire,” because their souls have become “spirits”—spirits that cannot be destroyed by any fire. But because of their impure nature, they are “children of the evil one,” who come to “steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10).
- The Shepherd’s Mission
“YHWH Nissi – He is our banner; He leads us and makes His face shine upon us.”
—Exodus 17:15–16
Jesus is the Commander of God’s army (El Gibbor), who leads and protects His people. Under His banner, enemies, whether large or small, “flee seven ways” (Psalm 68:1–2).
- Light and Darkness
“God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.”
—Genesis 1:4
“I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not remain in darkness.”
— John 8:12
The transparency of God’s light clearly separates righteousness from evil. The wicked who rely on lies will be exposed, while the upright will be guided by “integrity” (Proverbs 11:5).
- Atheistic Democracy and 4000 Years of Civilization
The civilized republic of Vietnam has affirmed: “The name is right and just.” A regime can only rule for a long time when it is based on truth and reason. Those who follow atheism and extreme democracy, betray their beliefs, and sell out their nation, will not be able to maintain power on the basis of lies and evil.
Conclusion:
Unrighteous prosperity is a trap set for the souls of the wicked.
The light of God separates righteousness from wickedness.
The righteous who trust in God will be supported by Him, while the wicked cannot escape judgment and justice.
The foundation of democracy is only sustainable when it is always based on truth and respect for freedom of conscience, not on “a swarm of delusional maggots.”
