The Nugget:
Psa 94:23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off. (KJV)
Psa 94:23 He has turned their own wickedness against them. He will destroy them because of their sins. The LORD our God will destroy them. (GW, God’s Word translation)
Psa 94:23 And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them. (BBE, Bible in Basic English)
Psa 94:23 You will pay back my enemies, and you will wipe them out for the evil they did. (CEV, Contemporary English Version)
My Comment:
The context of Psalm 94:23 in the Basic English Bible suggests some striking applications relevant to what is going on today:
Psa 94:17 If the Lord had not been my helper, my soul would quickly have gone down into death.
Psa 94:18 If I say, My foot is slipping; your mercy, O Lord, is my support.
Psa 94:19 Among all my troubled thoughts, your comforts are the delight of my soul.
Psa 94:20 What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?
Psa 94:21 They are banded together against the soul of the upright, to give decisions against those who have done no wrong.
Psa 94:22 But the Lord is my safe resting-place; my God is the Rock where I am safe.
Psa 94:23 And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them. (BBE)
What God will do applies to individuals, institutions, as well as governments and nations.
If your only source of information is the so-called “mainstream media,” you have been subjected to considerable quantities of propaganda, lies, distortions, and brain washing.
Bible-believing, Bible studying Christians ought to have the discernment to tell the difference between truth and falsehood (see 1 Thessalonians 5:21, “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good”).
I know of some Christians who have said they will not vote for “the lesser of two evils.” That is a dangerous fallacy. In past elections there have been enough so-called Evangelical Christians who have failed to vote, enough to have changed the outcome of the election involved had they voted according to what the Bible teaches. That must not happen this time.
I have received a number of political mailings regarding candidates for this election. The very first piece I received was from Stephen Heisler for judge in Probate Court. I am thankful for the mailing. Stephen Heisler appears in the non-partisan down ballot locally. Those offices are important, and we need to vote for candidates who will follow the law as written.
Of the Presidential Candidates, one has never been voted for by the electorate; she was chosen by the political party. Listening to her carefully in debate and in question-and-answer broadcasts, she never directly answers the question presented her but always speaks against her opposition candidate, making outrageous claims that have no basis in fact. She has flipped her positions frequently at will. Her past record for those sharp enough to have paid attention and who remember demonstrate she is a far left Marxist unsuited to be our president! She supports wide open borders. No nation remains a nation if it does not maintain its borders.
Of the Presidential Candidates, the other has held that office before. He succeeded in accomplishing much in that effectively shortened term despite the opposition of “Never Trumpers,” of “RINOS” (Republican in Name Only), the constant thwarting of his efforts by opposition judges at every turn. These judges seem to never try to stop anything the Biden-Harris Administration does, such as on Biden’s reversal on his very first day in office of many of Trump’s accomplishments. Biden immediately put a stop to a major pipeline project which has cost many jobs and has contributed to the increase of energy prices in our country. The wide-open border favored by the Biden Administration has let in many known and dangerous criminals and drugs that have killed many of our citizens.
The latest political mail I have received says “We can’t let Donald Trump and JD Vance make our health care decisions.” Inside the flyer says “Donald Trump’s Project 2025 Agenda is too extreme. Stop him.” This is utter falsehood promoted by the Democratic Party. Donald Trump had no part in the “Project 2025 Agenda.” He has directly stated he has never read it and has no interest in doing so. When an opposing party continues to repeat blatant falsehoods despite having been previously corrected, that is not a party we ought to trust.
President Trump supports the nation of Israel. He accomplished much while in office to promote peace in the Middle East. He promises to end the wars and bring peace to the Middle East and Ukraine. That is the better position to take, and this alone, for Bible believing, Bible studying Christians, ought to settle the matter (Genesis 12:3. Psalm 122:6. Isaiah 55:3).
