Psalm 82 (MSG)"God calls the judges into his courtroom, he puts all the judges in the dock.
Enough! You’ve corrupted justice long enough, you’ve let the wicked get away with murder. You’re here to defend the defenceless, to make sure that underdogs get a fair break; Your job is to stand up for the powerless, and prosecute all those who exploit them.
Ignorant judges! Head-in-the-sand judges! They haven’t a clue to what’s going on. And now everything’s falling apart, the world’s coming unglued. I appointed you judges, each one of you, deputies of the High God, But you’ve betrayed your commission and now you’re stripped of your rank, busted. God, give them what they’ve got coming! You’ve got the whole world in your hands!"
The psalm is a plea for justice and a rebuke to unjust rulers. The psalm was written between 1010 to 930 BC
Ron takes what was written in the late bronze age and matches it up against the election which is soon to be upon us.
As Christians do we stand up against the poverty of the country we live in?
