In a day when extreme forms of evil and cruelty are committed openly and brazenly, and those who do so boast about it in their arrogance and cynicism, then know that:
The judgment of the Almighty God
is upon those who call evil "good" and good "evil";
who put darkness for light and light for darkness;
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
Their throat is an open sepulchre;
with their tongues they have used deceit;
the poison of asps is under their lips.
Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.
Their feet are swift to shed blood.
Destruction and misery are in their ways,
and the way of peace have they not known."
(They prove that) "There is no (real and true) fear of God before their eyes." (Isaiah 5:20 and Romans 3:13-18).
OR their god which they worship is the god of destruction and evil:
"And they had a king over them,
which is the angel of the bottomless pit,
whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon,
but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon."
(Revelation of John 9:11).
Do not join them or support them so that God does not hold you guilty or complicit in their evil, because:
"He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD." (Proverbs 17:15).
It's foolish to conflate destruction and death caused in the process of self-defence with the evil and wickedness of those whose god is the god of destruction and death, whose greatest desire is the annihilation of those who wished them no harm.
