Hello everyone
My name is Danny
Today is the 5th day of May 2021.
I want to contribute to the topic" why do good people suffer while the bad prosper"
The Bible tells us the truth we can see in reality
The most wisest person created on earth is king Solomon.
According to the book of Ecclesiastes 9:2; it says " It makes no difference. The same fate comes to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the bad, to those who are righteous and those who are not, to those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. A good person is no better off than a sinner; one who takes an oath is no better off than one who does not".
The Bible tells us the general rule of nature physical and spiritual
Why did Solomon say that, all things come alike to all?
God is always just and God's justice is served not only in this life. But there is another life to come
Let look at a story of John the Baptist, that died at a very young age in a cruel hand of Herod, he was beheaded
Despite he did not do anything wrong to anybody ,it may be Seam injust
At another life to come, all people will be resurrected . Let's read the book of John 5:28""Do not be surprised at this; the time is coming when all the dead will hear his voice".
Then verse 29 "and come out of their graves: those who have done good will rise and live, and those who have done evil will rise and be condemned".
Then justice will be serve.
In your mind things happened to people who are good and things that are good happened to evil people .there is declaration of that in the Bible that evil people may prosper but not lasting
According to
Job 20:4-5 "Surely you know that from ancient times, when we humans were first placed on earth,no wicked people have been happy for long".
What happened to those who are despised and killed
The book of Luke made it clear in Luke 6:20 "Jesus looked at his disciples and said, "Happy are you poor; the Kingdom of God is yours!"
Luke 6:21"Happy are you who are hungry now; you will be filled! "Happy are you who weep now; you will laugh !
Luke 6:22-23 "Happy are you when people hate you, reject you, insult you, and say that you are evil, all because of the Son of Man".Be glad when that happens and dance for joy, because a great reward is kept for you in heaven. For their ancestors did the very same things to the prophets.
Blessed are the poor now*.
Blessed are those who are persecuted.
Blessed are those who hunger now.
Blessed are those who are maligned now.
This is because Justice will not be at once served but, it will be served definitely
thank you
