Psalm 12:8
8 The wicked [rasha`] walk [halak] on every side, [cabiyb]
when the vilest [zulluwth] men [ben] ['adam] are exalted. [ruwm] KJV-Interlinear
8 The
wicked strut about on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of
men. NASB
The word for vile, ‘zulluwth,’
means to shake out, to tremble, tempest, to loose morally, glutton, scatter,
treat lightly.
This comes to means one
who considers lightly, anything of value, and shakes out of their life
everything that is worthless, to cast out, to produce and spread that which is
worthless. In the maximum sense, it
means trembling terror.
When nothing good exists
in the life, then only bad, and that means the darkest of the dark only,
remains. And extreme darkness, that
which is without light or truth, is evil to the maximum. And that means suffering and pain and trouble
to the maximum for everyone.
Therefore, when society
has dropped so low that only that which is without truth is exalted, then
trouble is not only on the horizon, but trouble is in a position to saturate
all of life. And that is bad for
everyone.
To exhalt, ‘ruwm,’ means
to lift up, to make priority, to accept excluding all else.
Thus when truth is
rejected, then evil reigns.
When evil reigns then
trouble and suffering and difficulties of all sorts reign.
This was true back in
David’s day, it is true in our day, and it will be brought to the maximum of
evil when the Tribulation occurs when evil becomes unrestrained.
Today we have some
semblance of restraint, courtesy of Gods grace.
But as humanity continues to reject God through each succeeding generation,
then one day, God will allow humanity to have its way. He will remove all
believers, remove all restraint, and let humanity have its way, and that will
occur in the Tribulation. And as a
result, things will be so bad, that humanity will come very, very close to making
itself extinct, literally.
