They say those who do evil is good in the eyes of God and that He supports today’s atheistic culture.

Malachi 2:17

“You have wearied the Lord with your words; Yet you say, “In what way have we wearied Him?” In that you say, “Everyone who does evil Is good in the sight of the Lord, and He delights in them,” Or, “Where is the God of justice?” Malachi 2:17

Malachi 1:6-14 reveals the reason of his prophecy, which is that human beings and human authority is honored rather than honoring God and His authority. The verse of this section will be interpreted in that light.

Today’s culture wearies the Lord with their words. Humanism uses words to feed the esteem, dignity, and respect of human beings as they believe this is key to create harmony, peace, and security in the world. In essence, they believe nice words towards one another is a key part to saving humanity and the planet. “For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.” Romans 16:18

“For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.” 2 Corinthians 11:14-15

Those who depend on words neglect the real change within the heart, soul, and mind that comes about when a person is born-again through Jesus Christ. Flattery and smooth words to build up a person’s esteem, respect, and dignity does nothing to instill belief in God through Jesus Christ in the presence of the Holy Spirit. The Lord is wearied with smooth words and flattery. Humanism is the fig leaf worn by the atheistic entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say, ^“… having a form of Godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” 2 Timothy 3:5 The atheistic entity enlivens the image of the beast to live and speak through people as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.

Today’s culture feels empowered by the uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills, amazing physical abilities, uncanny authority over others, life-like emotions, etc. that are given to them by the entity that has power over physiology. Flattery and smooth words are poured upon their esteem, dignity, and respect along with that. In their attitude, words, and behavior, they are saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:4 This is equivalent to mockingly saying, “Where is the God of justice?”

People of today’s culture, who welcome the image of the beast to live and speak through them by being receptive to the thoughts and feelings given to them, are considered good as if God delights in what they are doing. However, they are doing evil by denying God the Creator, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, but they are said to be doing good by the standards of this present world system. Their “goodness” is showered with praise, flattery, and smooth words to bolster their dignity and self-respect. Today’s culture believes that they are righteous, and that a compassionate God would be delighted with them, and so did the “whitewashed” Pharisees who were filled with “dead bones” within their mind, heart, and soul. As our Lord Jesus Christ said, “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
