Commentary on Psalm 93
Jesus says:
"I have already stated this: 'If the greatest had been faced with (I don't speak of opposition, but of being faced with) a healthy people in a moral, Christian sense, solidly obedient to the law of God and of human morality as well, they could not have arrived at their crimes. Their Satanism would have broken like a glass sword against a block of granite and been pulverized. And God would have blessed and protected you.
"But you have admired the major criminals, in whom you saw that perfection in crime which you could not reach, that perfection in amorality which you liked because it justified your own. You said, 'If he, whom we admire, acts like this, I, too, can act this way.' You said, 'If God protects him, who is like this, He will also protect me, who am much less.'
"O fools! Why, do you really think that I protect one who, to succeed and manage to make someone else an accomplice so as to triumph by any means, 'has slain the widow and the guest and slaughtered orphans'? (verse 6) One who has betrayed the trust of others? One who has lied to whole peoples? One who has not hesitated to push whole nations to disaster? But I see and hear and note. And it is my sorrow not to be able to intervene, for when I intervene, you frustrate the intervention with your wickedness. You are so poisoned that you turn a good into evil.
"I shall now speak to you as if you were all upright in heart all of you, even those who are not upright. I want to invite you once more.
"My people, come to the Lord. I, the Lord, will not reject the people that come to Me, and, if it remains close to Me, I shall provide for it, 'until justice becomes judgment--that is, until time comes to an end and eternity begins' (verse 15). I shall open my arms to shield those who believe in Me and invoke Me with a contrite heart trusting in my mercy, and 'I shall defend them from those hunting down the just and condemning innocent blood' (verse 21). There are few of this kind on earth, but for the sake of those few I shall still grant grace."
