Though hand join in hand,
the wicked shall not be unpunished:
but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
The handshakes of the wicked do not protect against the shaking of the Lord's hand. His shaking will be revelatory. It will make light work of the serious business of wickedness. The plans and plots of the diabolical will float away like dust off of a beaten rug. Like chaff separated from the substance, they will simply float away on the breeze. There is no legislation that can protect the wicked from the law of the Lord. There is no network that can navigate the rod of the risen Nazarene. There is no forum that can fend off the free will of the One called Faithful and True. You can shake the hand of the most powerful man and still be utterly powerless before the Man, Christ Jesus. You can hear the hands of applause from men of renown and yet be backhanded by the Name above every other. You can have as much cash and resources at hand as any man can and still be bankrupt before God. The seed of the righteous will survive the drought. The harvest of the faithful will endure the scorching heat and produce fruit for the Feast.
Hebrews 12:25-29
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.
No earthly hardship can hold back the faithful.
No earthly friendship can hold off the judgment.
No heavenly work can be quenched.
No earthly endeavor can stay lit.
