Psalm 9:6

Copyright Ó 2011 J. Neely
Psalm 9:6

6 O thou enemy, ['oyeb] destructions [chorbah] are come to a perpetual [netsach] end: [tamam] and thou hast destroyed [nathash] cities [`ar]; [`iyr] their memorial [zeker] is perished ['abad] with them. [hem] KJV-Interlinear

6 The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins, And Thou hast uprooted the cities; The very memory of them has perished. NASB

Who are the enemies of God? The heathen, the ignorant of Bible knowledge, those who reject truth in favor of the lies of the world.  The wicked, those who practice sin and proactively reject doctrine.

They take the world from Gods rightful heirs (believers in Christ).

They build their cities, the objects of their ego and pride.  They build their systems of bureaucracy and regulation and management of the world of which they are proud.

They put up memorials to themselves.  They celebrate and give each other awards and rewards.  They give each other compliments and titles, and perpetuate their own version of good.

And what is to come of all of their efforts? 

God will destroy them all. 

The inheritance of the wicked, of the heathen, is the destruction, the complete destruction of all that they have and all that they have stood for.  And that destruction will be perpetual, eternal.

All that the enemies of God acquire, will be lost, will be forgotten, and will never exist again.

Their memorial, their memory will evaporate also.  One day, if you are numbered among the heathen or the wicked of the world, then you will be lost to history and forgotten forever.  No one will ever remember that you ever existed.  And, I might add, no one will ever care.
