Calling Good, Evil; and Evil Good

Malachi rebukes the people for perversely twisting the character of God by saying that what God calls evil is really in fact, good; and what God calls good is really evil.  It is one thing to know what is good and not do it. It is a whole new level of depravity when one says that everyone who does evil is really doing good.  A people who turn to this level of depravity cannot last long without suffering judgment.

Which is interesting because in the same breath, these same people say, "Where is the God of judgment?"  I don't see him.  I don't see the wicked punished [which is full of irony, because as they say this, they don't recognize that THEY are wicked and deserving God's judgment].  Of course judgment will come.  It always does.  God's character is such that he would be unjust if he allowed wickedness to go unpunished.  The fact that it is not here now, at this moment in time; or that one cannot see judgment, is no indication at all that God will not bring judgment.

Indeed, it is most likely an indication of mercy; God is giving you more time to repent before he brings judgment.

“Ye have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the Lord, And he delighteth in them; Or, Where is the God of judgment?” (Malachi 2:17, KJV 1900)
