CITY OF REJOICING
Prov 11:10
10 When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices;
when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
NIV
I am not sure about the second part of this, I will think about that while I consider the first part. I am not sure which city it is which rejoices. It has to be the city of God wherever that is now for I am not so sure the body of Christ is too enthusiastic about one of its members prospering. It seems to me there is way too much, either jealousy or envy going on within the certain cites within the Kingdom of God. Yet I still wonder if this prosper has anything to do with material gain in the world today. I think it might well speak of the spiritual prospering the righteous enjoy when we step into eternity and find ourselves bowing before our Lord and being embraced within his arms. But I cannot fathom how anyone will shout for joy as the wicked are thrown into the lake of burning sulfur and simple perish. What a sad commentary for the end of any life. How could any person spend so much energy fighting against God for the pleasures of self-satisfaction on the world when all that will happen is shouts of joy as they perish? Now in thinking of this world, and the time we spend here. I think I see how perhaps when one of those who strive to achieve so much and use that wealth and power for personal use, ignoring those who were used to attain it are brought down by some financial or health reason many might shout for joy. But that again is a sad commentary on mankind. To have joy in my heart because of some disaster befallen upon a wicked person is just not right. So I think I am stuck with the hereafter theory and have to leave it all to God. If he says someone will shout for joy as the wicked perish, then so be it. But for me I will be within a city of rejoicing.
