Mankind’s Plea For ‘Justice’ Heard

Wise King Solomon discerned:

“Again I turned my attention
to all the acts of oppression

that go on under the sun.

I saw the tears of the oppressed,

and there was no one
to comfort them.

And their oppressors had the power,

and there was no one to comfort them.” Eccl. 4:1.

***

‘Justice’.

A word twirling
like a hurricane

demanding

‘heavens’

to listen
then hasten…

Spun verbiage
spouted about

rapid winds
of change

by voices
from most
‘heads’ of nations

while themselves also bound
by ‘unjust’ chains

chafing; then burned…

For: “through one man
sin entered into the world

and death through sin,

and so death spread
to all men

because they had all sinned—.” Rom. 5:12.

Yet: “Man has dominated man to his harm.” Eccl. 8:9.

Caused globally
fear and alarm through abuse and neglect.

And different ‘type’ governments
have not ‘worked like a charm’

because, as the prophet Micah,
centuries ago descried:

“Their hands are expert at doing what is bad;”
practicing ‘wrong’…

“The prince
is making demands,

The judge
asks for a reward,

The prominent one
makes known his desires,

And they work it out
together.” Micah 7:3.

Corruption has grown
strong ‘Nephilim’ arms.

“This alone I have found:

The true God made mankind upright,
but they have sought out many schemes.”” Eccl. 7:29.

Caused: the ‘weak’ to seek to belong
or tag along.

“They are the ones who have acted corruptly.
They are not his children,

the defect is their own.

They are a crooked and twisted generation!” Deut. 32:5.
Our Creator bemoaned.

Even “Jesus said:

“O faithless and twisted generation,
how long must I continue with you

and put up with you?” Luke 9:41.
His Father’s sentiments

because of those headstrong…

Jesus: “said to them:

“Isaiah aptly prophesied about you hypocrites,
as it is written,

‘This people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far removed from me.

It is in vain
that they keep worshipping me,

for they teach commands of men
as doctrines.’

You let go of the commandment of God
and cling to the tradition of men.”

Further, he said to them:

“You skillfully disregard the commandment of God
in order to keep your tradition.” Mark 7:6-9.

Now it’s time for Jah and Jesus
to reverse this tragic condition…

For Jehovah “did not refrain
from punishing an ancient world,

but kept Noah,
a preacher of righteousness,

safe with seven others
when he brought a flood

upon a world of ungodly people.” 2 Pet. 2:5.

So: “Jehovah is not slow
concerning his promise,

as some people consider slowness,

but he is patient
with you

because he does not desire anyone
to be destroyed

but desires all
to attain to repentance.” 2 Pet. 3:9.

However: “beloved ones,

since you are awaiting these things,
do your utmost to be found finally by him

spotless and unblemished and in peace.

Furthermore, consider the patience of our Lord
as salvation”.

“Be on your guard
so that you may not be led astray with them
by the error of the lawless people

and fall from your own steadfastness.

No, but go on growing in the undeserved kindness
and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

To him be the glory both now
and to the day of eternity.

Amen.” 2 Pet. 3:14, 15; 17, 18.

***

“They will not cause any harm
Or any ruin in all my holy mountain,

Because the earth will certainly be filled
with the knowledge of Jehovah

As the waters cover the sea.” Isa. 11:9.

***

True ‘justice’ will be accomplished
in a magnificent way…

“In the days of those kings

the God of heaven will set up a kingdom
that will never be destroyed.

And this kingdom will not be passed on
to any other people.

It will crush
and put an end

to all these kingdoms,

and it alone

will stand forever”. Dan. 2:44.

You have been distressed by various trials.​—1 Pet. 1:6.

Jesus knew that injustice would challenge the faith of his disciples. To help them deal with it, he gave an illustration that is recorded in the book of Luke. Jesus told the story of a widow who kept crying out to an unrighteous judge for justice. She was confident that her persistence would pay off. Eventually, the judge responded to her pleas. The application? Jehovah is not unjust. So Jesus said: “Certainly, then, will not God cause justice to be done for his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night?” (Luke 18:1-8) Then Jesus added: “When the Son of man arrives, will he really find this faith on the earth?” When we suffer injustice, we need to prove by our patience and perseverance that we have strong faith like that of the widow. With such faith, we can be confident that sooner or later Jehovah will act in our behalf. We also need to believe in the power of prayer. w21.11 23 ¶12; 24 ¶14
