Why the Wicked Prosper

In this verse, we read Jeremiah asking: “How come the wicked are prospering? How come evil seems to be winning? Why won’t you judge them Lord?” Jeremiah was struggling. He didn’t like what he saw. He could see that things had changed and not for the better. We find ourselves in the same condition today. The Lord’s answer to him is quite telling… “If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses?” In other words, “things are about to speed up Jeremiah. Yes, the pace is increasing. If you are struggling running now, what will you do when things really accelerate?”

Remember that we are not of this world. In the parable of the Tares and the Wheat (Mat. 13:24-30), the angels ask the Lord if they can pull out the tares from the field. But the Lord told them to just let them grow as their final destination is to be burned in the harvest. As you can see, the tares (wicked people) are the ones prospering in this world because of their evil ways and because this world is evil. And they will continue to prosper in the coming days. But their destiny is in the lake of fire. It is there that they will suffer.
