I have attempted to reveal and show by doing so the things that lay ahead for the wicked, spiritually corrupt and unbelievers of histories record and those yet to come. Some of these areas are so blended and complicated that they are very hard to separate because they all deal with mans make up which has interwoven within it finance, government or politics, and religion or spirituality as being part of his very fallen nature and cravings. There was a TV program some time ago that spoke of the "perception" of mans mind as the triggering device used to control him. Because with this one a programed mind mans conscience and subconscious respond in many fashions and manors which require little thought or reason and make the individual think and believe that it is the real he or she that is saying and do a thing, when it is the essences in them, it is not the reality of life. It is the essences within them that controls and manipulates him or her. That is why it is a requirement that all become "born from above," by the essence of GOD to bring mankind back to that of a Genesis 2 being and why it is that we are admonished to acquire the mind of Christ. That said I will now look at one more, possibly two areas of the Harlot's outcome with those who by deception cling to her be they politician, banker, or theologian (the 6-6-6 of Revelation that is anti-Christ) or just a every day unbeliever, having a skewed perception. Our next area will be back within 2Corinthians 6:11-7:4.
The Fate of Wicked,
Psalm 37:2 of 1-6 "Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Rather Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the LORD, and HE will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and HE will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday."
Psalm 37:10 of 7-11 "Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, nor over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land. In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there. But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace."
Psalm 55:23 of 22-23 "Cast your burden on the LORD, and HE will sustain you; HE will never permit the righteous to be moved. For You, O GOD, will cast them down into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. For I will trust in You."
Psalm 92:7 of 5-9 "How great are Your works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep! The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this: that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever; but You, O LORD, are on high forever. For behold, Your enemies, O LORD, for behold, Your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered."
Psalm 112:10 "The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish!"
Psalm 139:19 of 19-22 "Oh that You would slay the wicked, O GOD! O men of blood, depart from me! They speak against You with malicious intent; Your enemies take Your name in vain (by claiming to be one with You and subverting Your Gospel message to suit their needs). Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? Yes! I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies."
Proverbs 5:22-23 of 15-23 "Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well. Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets? Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you. Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love. Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress? For a man's ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and HE ponders (watches) all his paths. The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin. He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is led astray."
2Peter 2:17 of 1-3, 4-16, 17-3:7 "For false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed (maligned). And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
For if GOD did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; if HE did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when HE brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes HE condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if HE rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); then the LORD God knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones, whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the LORD. But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction, suffering wrong as the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast with you. They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing, but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.
These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. What the true proverb (26:11) says has happened to them: "The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire." This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the LORD and Savior through your apostles, knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation." For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of GOD, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly."
Jude 13 of 5-7, 8-13 "Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, Who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, He has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones. For when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, "The LORD rebuke you." (recorded by Zechariah in 3:2 of 1-5) For these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam's error and perished in Korah's rebellion. These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, shepherds feeding themselves; waterless clouds, swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted; wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever."
Portion of the wicked,
Job 20:23, 29 of 20-29 "Because he knew no contentment in his belly, he will not let anything in which he delights escape him. There was nothing left after he had eaten; therefore his prosperity will not endure. In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be in distress; the hand of everyone in misery will come against him. To fill his belly to the full, GOD will send His burning anger against him and rain it upon him into his body. He will flee from an iron weapon; a bronze arrow will strike him through. It is drawn forth and comes out of his body; the glittering point comes out of his gallbladder; terrors come upon him. Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures; a fire not fanned will devour him; what is left in his tent will be consumed. The heavens will reveal his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him. The possessions of his house will be carried away, dragged off in the day of GOD's wrath. This is the wicked man's portion from GOD, the heritage decreed for him by GOD."
Job 24:18 of 18-25 "You say, 'Swift are they on the face of the waters; their portion is cursed in the land; no treader turns toward their vineyards. Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters; so does Sheol those who have sinned. The womb forgets them; the worm finds them sweet; they are no longer remembered, so wickedness is broken like a tree.' "They wrong the barren, childless woman, and do no good to the widow. Yet GOD prolongs the life of the mighty by His power; they rise up when they despair of life. He gives them security, and they are supported, and His eyes are upon their ways. They are exalted a little while, and then are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like the heads of grain. If it is not so, who will prove me a liar and show that there is nothing in what I say?"
Job 27:13 of 13-23 "This is the portion of a wicked man with GOD, and the heritage that oppressors receive from the Almighty: If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword, and his descendants have not enough bread. Those who survive him the pestilence buries, and his widows do not weep. Though he heap up silver like dust, and pile up clothing like clay, he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it, and the innocent will divide the silver. He builds his house like a moth's, like a booth that a watchman makes. He goes to bed rich, but will do so no more; he opens his eyes, and his wealth is gone. Terrors overtake him like a flood; in the night a whirlwind carries him off. The east wind lifts him up and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place. It hurls at him without pity; he flees from its power in headlong flight. It claps its hands at him and hisses at him from its place."
Psalm 11:5b, 6 of 4-7 "The LORD is in His Holy temple; the LORD's throne is in heaven; His eyes see, His eyelids test the children of man. The LORD tests the righteous, for His soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. Let Him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. For the LORD is righteous; HE loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold His face."
Jeremiah 13:25 of 20-27 "Lift up your eyes and see those who come from the north. Where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock? What will you say when they set as head over you those whom you yourself have taught to be friends to you? Will not pangs take hold of you like those of a woman in labor? And if you say in your heart, 'Why have these things come upon me?' it is for the greatness of your iniquity that your skirts are lifted up and you suffer violence. Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? Then also you can do good who are accustomed to do evil. I will scatter you like chaff driven by the wind from the desert. This is your lot, the portion I have measured out to you, declares the LORD, because you have forgotten Me and trusted in lies. I Myself will lift up your skirts over your face, and your shame will be seen. I have seen your abominations, your adulteries and neighings, your lewd whorings, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! How long will it be before you are made clean?"
Matthew 24:51 of 45-51 (Jesus is speaking) "'Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his Master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his Master will find so doing when He comes. Truly, I say to you, He will set him over all His possessions. For if that wicked servant says to himself, "My Master is delayed," and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drinks with drunkards, the Master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect Him and at an hour he does not know and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'"
Luke 12:46 of 41-48 "Peter said, "LORD, are You telling this parable for us or for all?" And the LORD said, 'Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his Master will set over His household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his Master will find so doing when HE comes. Truly, I say to you, HE will set him over all His possessions. But if that servant says to himself, "My Master is delayed in coming," and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk, the Master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect Him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful. And that servant who knew his Master's will but did not get ready or act according to His will, will receive a severe beating. But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom They entrusted much, They will demand the more.'"
