“Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?” Jeremiah 12:1b
This is a question Jeremiah asks God during the beginning of his Ministry. As he heard the message of Doom and Judgement, he instead saw prosperity and happiness. He couldn’t understand it. He would say in the next verse “You are near in their mouth but far from their mind.” Because we know history and have read through the Book, we know how the story ends. The wicked, and those that are happy without God, soon reap destruction and devastation.
We see the same thing today as “the wicked prosper”! But Paul tells us “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Judgment Day IS Coming, and all those that “deal treacherously” will find True Justice!
