Most of us are familiar with that list in Proverbs, things God hates …

“These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” Proverbs 6:6-19

But Psalm 11 adds to the list!

“The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul HATETH. Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.” Psalm 11:5-6

I wonder if “violence” (in Hebrew spelled “hamas”) here includes murdering unborn babies in their embryonic stages?

Or rioters and looters rampaging (destroying) a city? Sounds pretty violent to me!

And of course that part of our Psalm about God “raining” fire and brimstone … a joke nowadays. But it certainly happened in the past, Sodom and Gomorrah, Genesis 19.

And if it happens again, I should say WHEN it happens again … tribulation the world has not yet seen will envelop this whole planet!

God means what He says.

Given the sinful, apostate situation today, nearly world-wide … JUDGMENT IS COMING!

It’s only a matter of time.

This bears repeating, re-reading …

“The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.” Psalm 11:5-6
