Workers Of Iniquity

Psalm 59: 1 – 17

Local 666, International workers of iniquity

To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do Not Destroy.” A Michtam of David when Saul sent men, and they watched the house in order to kill him.

1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; Defend me from those who rise up against me. 2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity and save me from bloodthirsty men. 3 For look, they lie in wait for my life; The mighty gather against me, not for my transgression nor for my sin, O LORD. 4 They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine. Awake to help me and behold! 5 You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to punish all the nations; Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah 6 At evening they return, they growl like a dog, and go all around the city. 7 Indeed, they belch with their mouth; Swords are in their lips; For they say, “Who hears?” 8 But You, O LORD, shall laugh at them; You shall have all the nations in derision. 9 I will wait for You, O You his Strength; For God is my defense. 10 My God of mercy shall come to meet me; God shall let me see my desire on my enemies. 11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget; Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield. 12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for the cursing and lying which, they speak. 13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be; And let them know that God rules in Jacob to the ends of the earth. Selah 14 And at evening they return, they growl like a dog, and go all around the city. 15 They wander up and down for food, and howl if they are not satisfied. 16 But I will sing of Your power; Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; For You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. 17 To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; For God is my defense, my God of mercy.

Welcome to Local 666, International Workers of Iniquity. For all our members we labor for a rotten deal from the Spirit of Lawlessness and the Father of Lies.

The apostle Paul wrote in the first letter to Timothy “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils”

One sign that it’s the end times is the number of workers of iniquity. There have always been workers of iniquity, but the Bible says that they will multiply in the last days. Workers of iniquity will spread the lies and deceptions of Satan.

Deception is a two-edged sword.

Those poor souls laboring for the enemy not only are agents of deception, God’s Word declares that the workers of iniquity themselves are deceived as well.

In Paul’s second letter to Timothy chapter 3 he says, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”

Many of these deceivers will appear in the churches.

Our Lord Jesus’ earthly brother Jude teaches “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Sadly, churches will welcome the deceivers. It’s a sad really.

Laboring as a slave of iniquity doesn’t earn one any prizes other than being one day closer to the inescapable, ultimate judgment.

“to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.” Mark 9: 45 -46

The slave of iniquity toils for the cause. His imaged reward (If he collects) is paid in the coin of this world: fleeting fame, a few hours of pleasure, temporary riches and earthy power that so quickly vanishes. But as he snatches a few moments of relaxation, he always has one eye looking over his shoulder.

Because he never can forget he is disposable, expendable and easily replaced.

The workers of iniquity have made a very bad deal. They have traded their eternal reward for some trinkets, flattery and a load of promises from a boss condemned by Jesus as a “liar.”

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8: 44
