A whole new doctrine of crime is taking shape in plain sight. Put simply, the bigger the crime, the more likely the perps are to get away with it.
Rob a liquor store or a gas station, and you’ll probably get caught and sent to jail. But if you rob Fort Knox, the authorities will deny it ever happened.
Crimes–huge, enormous, colossal crimes–committed by persons who are already fabulously wealthy and politically powerful, preferably involving thousands of small-fry henchmen–who’s going to make the arrests? Who will prosecute? What court will hear the case?
Given the plethora of headlines that we see every day, is it necessary for me to cite examples? Surely everyone can think of at least one example. Who can’t?
But even pagans knew of “one thing that never dies–judgment over the dead,” as the old Norse poem, Havamal, declares. We are not pagans, and we know our God is righteous. His judgment will be righteous… and infallible. The crimes that go unpunished in a fallen world will be punished somewhere else.
Keep the faith, tell the truth, and trust in God. It may be a rough ride, but the destination is Christ’s Kingdom. No crime is too great for God to punish. And He won’t always delay His judgment. The Bible tells us that. Remember Nineveh. And Babylon.
