Prosperity of the Wicked
Could the prosperity of the wicked be looking at False Prophets ruling in tribulation?
PROSPERITY (PEACE): PEACE THAT IS CHRIST?
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of PEACE <07965>.
Col 3:15 And let the PEACE OF GOD rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Joh 14:27 PEACE I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Jer 29:7 And seek the PEACE of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
Job 36:11 If they obey and serve {}, they shall spend their days in PROSPERITY (GOOD), and their years in PLEASURES.
Ro 3:17 And the WAY of PEACE have they not known:
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the WAY, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
PROSPERITY (PEACE): ANTICHRIST RULING IN JUDGMENT?
Isa 48:22 There is no PEACE <07965>, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
Jer 9:8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh PEACEABLY to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
Ps 28:3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak PEACE <07965> to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
Ge 37:4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak PEACEABLY unto him.
Mt 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Da 11:21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in PEACEABLY, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
La 3:17 And thou hast removed my soul far off from PEACE: I forgat prosperity.
Da 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by PEACE shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, PEACE and SAFETY; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
ENVYING SINNERS: PARTAKING IN FALSE GOSPELS?
Ps 73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity <07965> of the wicked.
Pr 23:17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
De 23:6 Thou shalt not seek their PEACE nor their PROSPERITY all thy days for ever.
Pr 3:31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his WAYS.
Pr 24:1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
Ps 37:1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
Ps 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his WAY, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Job 21:7 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are **mighty in power**?
Da 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
Jer 12:1 Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the WAY of the wicked PROSPER? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
SUMMARY CONCLUSION:
The Bible appears to be associating prosperity or peace with Christ. Therefore not to envy or desire the prosperity of the wicked would be a command not to partake of their false gospels. Because in tribulation and judgment, these would be identified with the false prophets and false christs ruling in the NAME of Christ.
