(Isaiah 33:22-24)
When we think of the word judge with all that it represents in the courts of law, we come to honor such title with respect. When having to face him for some reason or other, at his mercy, as the person who determines our destiny- winner or loser in the case presented to him, we fear that he will determine us to be guilty, even though innocent. It is our fear that it will happen upon the false evidences presented to him, as many who were innocent, found themselves serving life in prison, even sent to die, for the crime they did not commit. When this elected official, with authority to decide cases in a court of law is God fearing, we feel confident that he will be spiritually discerning to make the right decision, according to his faith in God. Today, however, judges have great political power over the people. They can reverse decisions to bring about chaos in the country to conform to the agendas of those who are wicked, for they have been bought out through bribes. It is a thing of money that compels them not to take the stand for righteousness’s and justice’s sake. We have experienced it firsthand in this country and others. But Our God, the Lord is God of gods and Lord of lords, He is the Great, the Mighty, and awesome God, Who is not partial and takes bribes (Deut. 10:17); He is the Judge of all judges; someday all judges will have to face Him for judgment. So, it will be the judges being judged by the Sovereign, the Almighty Judge of all the earth. To Him they will give accounts of all the injustices they performed in the courts of law, destroying lives to no end. God, Who established the law, said, You shall not do injustice in court; you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor (Lev. 19: 15).
