TRAPPED OR ESCAPED
Prov 12:13
13 An evil man is trapped by his sinful talk,
but a righteous man escapes trouble.
NIV
This could be taken as an evil man is trapped by his own lie, which is sooner or later he will be found out, but I am not so sure that is the real case here. That Hebrew word translated sinful carries the meaning of revolt. Thus an evil man revolts against God. An evil man talks about the things which are in his heart as does a righteous man. That is a truth which God has already declared. So I would think that because an evil man hates the idea of God and the standards God has set forth for living in a manner which pleases him, this evil man would speak words which defame God, or refute his existence, or discredit his word, the Bible. Within those kinds of word this evil man reveals his true character to others, but more importantly he confirms his evilness in the eyes of God. By those words, which come forth from his heart, he is trapped. He is found guilty without any defense and thus this evil man has caused his own demise. Now on the other hand because God considers me righteous and I speak of his word as the truth, the only truth, and I believe in my heart that he sent his Son, Jesus to die on the cross for my sin, past present and future, and that Jesus rose from the grave and bodily ascended to the right hand of the Father, I will escape the demise of evil men. I will see no trouble at the judgment sit of God, for I have a defense for my transgressions. Jesus stands in the gap, and says to the Father, I took care of his sin on the cross. I have no trouble before me, not because I am perfect, but because Jesus is. The evil man is trapped, I am set free. If Jesus sets me free I am free indeed. What a relief to know I do not have to experience the demise of the evil. I know that may be selfish in some respect, but those who are evil have the same opportunity I have to escape rather than be trapped, but it by what is in their own hearts, and on their lips which cause their end. I am saddened by that, for it does not have to be that way, yet it is. Escape is my future, demise is theirs.
