Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? —Psalm 94:20
Martin Selbrede has provided us with an in-depth examination of Psalm 94–a psalm that deals head-on with corruption in the government.

Put simply, corrupt governments enact corrupt laws. Their “justice” plays out as injustice. And the psalmist is not looking for justice somewhere in the end times, but rather, says Martin, “is looking for action in the here and now” (emphasis added).
That would be God’s action. Not “someday,” but now. And not “revenge,” which is an activity of fallen man, but “vengeance”–which is God’s prerogative.
Martin explores the Psalm verse by verse from beginning to end–a major project, but well worth reading. What could be more relevant to the state of our world today than sinful, power-hungry government that seeks to replace God’s laws with its own self-serving decrees? Are you listening, World Economic Forum? (Hint: of course not.)
If only we could unite judgment to justice!
Invest half an hour or so in reading Martin’s essay. You’ll find it’s right on target.
Thank you for bringing this article to our attention.
I thought it was one of his best.
Government has already replaced God’s law. His Bible is banned from the court room. Vivek Ramaswamy says 80% of the federal bureaucracy needs to go right along with the 10 million illegal aliens. If you have been watching the GOP Convention night 1 & 2 you may have noticed it is like a church service in many ways. Trump has really transformed it with RINOs staying away in droves.
Drain the Swamp!
