Aren't they suposed to be an example to us the poor, and we the poor should follow them.Why then do they get up set when we do just that. could it be that they are working for the father of lies. it is said that the father of lies dos his best work from the pulpit. and its do as I tell you not as I do and is this not the way they have held the poor to ransom. but what dos a daft old man know.I hear you say, not a lot. only that the privileged educated rich get to hang on to there ill got gains, and we the poor sinners, by the grace of Jesus Christ get to sit in judgement over them in the next world.and I for one long to see that day.so hear are cry o lord and look not up on are sinfulness but up on the mercy of your son Jesus Christ in his name I ask this Amen .IT IS SO. yours in J.

I fear it has always been thus. However, God's word assures us that wickedness, hypocrisy and injustice will not go unnoticed. Jesus condemned the hypocrisy of the religious leaders in his time and the lesson still applies. Check out Matthew 25 - "Woe to you..... you hypocrites.... you have neglected justice, mercy and faithfulness, etc." And in Psalm 140:12 we are assured that "The Lord secures justice for the poor".
Also in Psalm 119:57 the writer could claim the "You are my portion, O Lord" and how rich we are if we can say that! We put our trust in God, not in men, and we do not lean on our own understanding. Romans 8:28 assures us that "in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
So do not despair, my friend, if the wicked seem to be getting away with it. Trust God and wait upon him. His timing is perfect.

Interesting point of view. The materially rich and poor ones can be involved in the judging - God's word is for everyone, he desires all to get saved even if they don't all want it.
I thought it was particularly interesting that you used the word "hallelujah" which means "hail Jehovah." What do you think about the name Jehovah? Is it really too holy for our sinful tongues to utter? If so, why did he reveal it only long after man had sinned, when Moses was commisioned to set the Israelites free?

I can't work out whether you believe in Jesus or not.
But I do think there are many in these so called 'high' places DO lead by example and show more of a Christian attitude than some who attend church every Sunday and proclaim themselves followers of Christ.
Peace be with you.
