Psalm 18:17
17 He delivered [natsal] me from my
strong [`az] enemy, ['oyeb] and from them which hated [sane'] me: for they were too strong ['amats] for me. KJV-Interlinear
17 He
delivered me from my strong enemy, And from those who hated me, for they were
too mighty for me. NASB
He who is in this world, Satan,
sin, evil, evil humanity, worldliness and so forth, are far greater than any
single human being. They are more
powerful than you or me or anyone who has ever lived.
The world hates
truth. The world hates God. And therefore the world hates by default,
anyone who has any relationship with God.
In fact, the world hates everything and everyone. It just hates truth and God and believers
more.
And as the world tries to
get rid of God, truth and believers, then it would turn on itself in
self-destruction and extinction. The
world has no plan, and no desire to be more than the evil that it is.
The world is powerful as
far as any individual goes.
But, the world is never
more powerful that God. It simply cannot
compete.
As God systematically
destroys evil and disrupts the world from end to end, He is able to seek out
and find and pluck out from harms way, each and every mature believer. Raising them up to higher ground so to speak,
and to safety from the floods of judgment.
And that is one of the
principles of this chapter. Despite the
chaos that will from time to time, occur in history, and most certainly at the
end of human history, God delivers mature believers, will little effort and with
great ease.
The world may be churning
in destruction, but the spiritually mature believer will be safe and unharmed,
delivered from the judgment that will fall upon all of the evil that is around
him.
