Workers of Iniquity

Theology and Politics from a Conservative, Biblical Perspective

There is NO audio for this article today. Our apologies.

I’ve begun reading through the Psalms again. In them is a great deal of doctrine and theology. We learn much about God and how He works in spite of the hubris and rebellion of humanity throughout the ages.

There are surprising pieces of information we learn about God and the way He views certain types of people and their actions.

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

These statements from Psalm 5:4-5 (KJV), tell us something extremely important about God. At first glance, it may appear that the statements only tell us that God hates sinners in general, but a closer look tells us that this isn’t the case. If it was the case, then the phrase, “thou hatest all workers of iniquity” would apply to the Psalmist himself and us.

The phrase “workers of iniquity” really gives the sense of those people who have abandoned all righteousness and dedicated themselves to all things evil. These are not the people who sin from time to time (or the average sinner), but people who have deliberately chosen sinful ways as a lifestyle and revel in it. The Psalmist is describing people who have literally given themselves over to evil, to partner with evil, to allow themselves to be a conduit for all manner of evil thoughts, words, and deeds.

Commentator Adam Clarke makes this statement in reference to this phrase.

Some sin now and then, others generally; some constantly, and some labour (sic) in it with all their might. These are the WORKERS of iniquity. Such even the God of infinite love and mercy hates. Alas! what a portion have the workers of iniquity! the hatred of God Almighty! [1]

I like the way he explained it. Workers of iniquity are laborers in evil and direct all their energy to that end from waking to going to sleep. A good picture develops for us with that description.

John Gill goes says it slightly differently.

…such who give themselves up to work wickedness, who make it the business of their lives, and are slaves unto it, living in a continued series and course of impiety; and this character does not only belong to openly profane sinners, but to some professors of religion; see Matthew 7:22; and these are the objects of God’s hatred. [2]

So it becomes clear that God hates that type of person because they enveloped with evil, to be fully utilized of and by it. They live only to be consumed by evil itself and willingly commit themselves to every evil practice continually, deliberately choosing that path.

You may have met people like this and there is just something onerous about them from which you want to withdraw. Being around them is not only not pleasant, but it is downright off-putting because of the darkness emanating from them.

Psalm 5:6 tells us what will happen to these workers of iniquity. They will be “destroyed” because the LORD abhors them. They are so aligned with evil that they have become evil personified and as such, destroyed with evil.

It is very important to understand that when Satan is done using someone, he often throws them away and they are left to their own devices. Judas is proof of that, as merely one historical example (Matthew 27:3-5). There are many others in history as well and there are living examples today.

Though Satan is all too willing to use people who offer themselves , his hatred of the human race seems to know no bounds. His ultimate goal while using these people is to ensure they never receive the Gospel of grace so that they might be saved. Satan looks forward to the day when they die without Christ and immediately “wake” on the other side of death to realize that they’ve been seriously had in this life.

Now the End Begins comments on how they believe Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci are two individuals who have been seriously used by the global elite (technocrats), and whose time may well be over. Certainly, it appears that Dr. Fauci has been “released” from service, doesn’t it? I find it fascinating that the globalists actually allowed his emails to be released, apparently, with another 10,000 or so on the way. Surely, they could have stopped that if they had wanted to, but they didn’t. Why? Are they done with Fauci? He has “served” them since at least the AIDS crisis decades ago and many victims of AIDS considered Fauci to be a murderer then. Yet, in spite of that, globalists had plans for the good doctor and brought him back into service under Trump.

Serving Satan brings fame, wealth, power and influence right up to the moment that you finished the task you signed on to do, and then you get thrown under the bus here on Earth in advance of being thrown into eternal hellfire in the life to come. Bill Gates dutifully served Satan his entire adult life, then his service came to an abrupt end. Anthony Fauci is on that same team, and we are right now watching his stunning takedown. But know this, Satan’s minions at the New World Order are only pruning to ensure a larger crop. What comes next will be very ugly. [3]

I know that many believe we are winning the war against globalists and their lock-downs, masks mandates and social distancing, etc., but this is probably naive thinking. Globalists have another hand and we’d best keep an eye on it. Why would they will give up if Satan won’t give up?

The Bible is very clear, in my opinion, regarding the end times, and the specific events that have and will transpire as we see the coming Tribulation looming on the horizon. If we stop to consider it, global society has never been at this point before where a virus shut down nearly all businesses, shuttered schools and churches and essentially put many people on the government dole. I believe, like the host of Now the End Begins, that uglier things are coming to this world. However, for Christians, the optimistic view must take precedence.

God is not going to leave us. He has things perfectly planned and those things will come to fruition, ultimately putting Satan in Jesus’ cross hairs as He returns to this world and closes the Tribulation. In the meantime, we need to understand that God is with us, will strengthen our resolve to follow Him if we are willing and will put us in the place of blessing regardless of circumstances. Of course, as I’ve mentioned before, this will only occur as we learn to fear the LORD. We must learn to do this whatever it takes.

Don’t expect a feeling to rise inside you. Expect instead, an awareness of God and a growing understanding of just how mighty and truly awe-inspiring He is.

I pray you all have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy what God has given you. Seek His face. Search for a greater awareness and understanding of what it means to fear the LORD. We will be back Monday, the LORD willing.
