How GOD deals with EVIL

Psalm 37:13-15

King James Version

13 The Lord shall laugh at him: 

for he seeth that his day is coming.

14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, 

and have bent their bow, 

to cast down the poor and needy, 

and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, 

and their bows shall be broken.


We all know what happened to Israel on October 7.

How seven nations have ganged up on her.

How do you think GOD will respond?

Israel's enemies can expect this from the LORD:

Deuteronomy 28:7

King James Version

7 The Lord shall cause thine enemies 

that rise up against thee 

to be smitten before thy face: 

they shall come out against thee one way, 

and flee before thee seven ways.


And if you think unbelieving Jews are spared, witness how an evil spirit dealt with SEVEN exorcists who tried speaking in the name of JESUS:

Acts 19:13-17

King James Version

13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, 

exorcists, 

took upon them to call over them 

which had evil spirits 

the name of the Lord Jesus, 

saying, 

We adjure you by Jesus 

whom Paul preacheth.

14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, 

a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.

15 And the evil spirit answered and said, 

Jesus I know, 

and Paul I know; 

but who are ye?

16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was 

leaped on them, 

and overcame them, 

and prevailed against them, 

so that they fled out of that house 

naked and wounded.

17 And this was known 

to all the Jews and Greeks 

also dwelling at Ephesus; 

and fear fell on them all, 

and the name of the Lord Jesus 

was magnified.


Even evil knows a "fake" when it sees one.

And responds accordingly.

Evil only challenges GOD.

The SOURCE of ALL TRUE POWER.

That's why it persecutes Israel, whom He loves.

Evil is that bold, brash, and brazen.

Wanting a real fight.

Well, he shall have it.


GOD doesn't play "favorites".

If you are in sin, you are in sin.

GOD will deal with that.

In the same manner, His salvation is for all.

Romans 10:13

King James Version

13 For whosoever shall call 

upon the name of the Lord 

shall be saved.


Galatians 3:28-29

King James Version

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, 

there is neither bond nor free, 

there is neither male nor female: 

for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, 

and heirs according to the promise.


So, don't challenge GOD.

We're no match for the LORD.

If you're not born again, don't expect to know GOD's ways.

Take note of the following sets of "7":

The Seven Enemies of Israel in the Promised Land

The SEVEN seals

The SEVEN trumpets

The SEVEN last plagues

The 7 churches

SPIRIT and the 7 churches

The number "7"
