God raised up Pharaoh
to demonstrate His own power:
Romans 9:17
For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even
for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in
thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
He brought the
Assyrians against Israel to punish and correct them:
Isaiah 10:5-6
O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the
staff in their hand is mine indignation.
(6) I will send him against an
hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a
charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like
the mire of the streets.
He used wicked men to
crucify His own Son and bring redemption to His chosen people:
Acts 2:23
Him, being delivered by the determinate
counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have
crucified and slain:
God used the evil intents
of Joseph’s brethren to accomplish His perfect will:
Genesis 50:20
But as for you, ye thought evil against me;
but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much
people alive.
God is absolutely
sovereign and has absolutely predestinated ALL THINGS. On occasion He uses
wicked men to accomplish His purposes.
Psalms 76:10
Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:
the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
There is no doubt
that God raises up evil men and uses them for His own glory and for the
ultimate good of His chosen people:
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for
good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his
purpose.
However, I can think
of no place in Scripture where we are called upon to advance or support those
wicked men as individual Christians:
Exodus 23:1-2
Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not
thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. (2)
Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak
in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
Proverbs 1:10
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou
not.
Proverbs 1:15
My son, walk not thou in the way with them;
refrain thy foot from their path:
Proverbs 4:14
Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go
not in the way of evil men.
We are not justified
in supporting evil that good might come:
Romans 3:8
And not rather, (as we be slanderously
reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come?
whose damnation is just.
We are neither sovereign, nor omniscient. We cannot possibly know the end from the beginning, except in what God has been pleased to reveal to us in His written word.
We
are called upon to obey the revealed will of God and trust Him for the results:
Proverbs 3:5-7
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and
lean not unto thine own understanding.
(6) In all thy ways acknowledge
him, and he shall direct thy paths.
(7) Be not wise in thine own
eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Psalms 37:3
Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou
dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
One of Stonewall Jackson’s
favorite sayings was: “Duty is ours; consequences are God’s.” And that pretty
well summarizes my own understanding of these things. I hope, by the Grace of God,
to live in accordance with that precept.
I encourage you to think on these things, and make your own decisions.
I have considered
them, and that is exactly why I will not support or promote the “lesser of two
evils” and why I will not be participating in the coming national elections for
the next Amerikan Emperor. I cannot in conscience do so.
