“I Have Seen the Wicked in Great Power”
So wrote King David in Psalm 37:35—or maybe before he became king. Regardless, the “wicked in great power” is not a new feature in human history. David may have been speaking of King Saul, or some pagan king in or around Canaan. Anyway, he saw it 3,000 years ago.
And we see it in our own age, and in recent generations. Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, the Kims, Pol Pot, Castro—lots of “wicked” people with great power. America hasn’t been immune to wicked leadership. Bill Clinton was an amoral cur if one ever existed. John Kennedy was a skirt-chaser deluxe. Lyndon B. Johnson was as corrupt a politician who ever roamed the halls of Washington. Richard Nixon was an egomaniac and thoroughly debased.
But it would be, in America history, harder to find a more degenerate set of leaders than we have now in America. Joe Biden and the Democratic Party have absolutely nothing—morally—to commend them. They are total wickedness. From baby murder, to child mutilation, to science-denying, to homosexuality, to transgenderism, to pedophilia and the child-trafficking that they are doing nothing about, the crimes in their streets which they also care nothing about, to racism, to government fraud, waste, abuse—nearly every kind of moral degradation you could name takes place in Washington, D.C. and state capitols (and county seats, too), and it is the heart and soul of today’s “Demoncratic” Party. The Republican Party isn’t guiltless, by any means, but by comparison, they are angels up against the Democrats. This is, easily, the most evil set of leaders in a political party America has ever seen. Joe Biden will probably (eventually) not only go down in American history as the worst President (so far) we have ever had, but the most evil. It would be difficult to find one, good thing to say about that man, certainly from a moral standpoint.
But, again, “the wicked in great power” is not a new phenomenon. And in the next verse (Psalm 37:36), David said, “Yet he passed away, and behold he was no more.” Biden, Pelosi, and many of their Satanic cohorts are not long for this world. And then, hopefully, the pendulum will swing back the other way. We don’t know when that will be, or how long these wicked degenerates will last. Perhaps long enough to destroy America—their great goal. But justice will be done; not all accounts are settled in this life. We have to “be faithful unto death” to receive the “crown of life” (Revelation 2:10).
It is very sad, to godly people, to witness what is happening in America today. But wickedness in power is probably more common in history than not. It isn’t surprising that such has overtaken America. We can fight it, and should, with all our might. The one thing we shouldn’t do is be surprised.
