Is Psalm 94 providing a prophetic message for our world today? In one of his recent messages, Pastor Jack Hibbs uncovered the power behind Psalm 94 and what it means for our world today.
Psalm 94 talks of the necessity for God to bring vengeance and deliverance from a broken world. Verses 4-6 read:
They spew forth their arrogant words; all those who do iniquity boast. They break in pieces Your people, O LORD, and afflict Your inheritance. They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless.
Further in the psalm, there is direct discussion of ruthless lawmaking. Verses 20-21 tell of this great plight.
Shall wicked rulers, who make oppressive laws, align with You? They conspire together against the life of the righteous and condemn innocent blood to death.
As this psalm talks about dangers and vile killings, Hibbs says this type of society is prevalent in our world today.
“All of those things are patent, manifested realities of a lawless age,” Hibbs says. “Ladies and gentlemen, it’s official. America is lawless.”
Hibbs says that what we are seeing right now is nations like the U.S., England and France trying to take the place of God to take vengeance on their enemies.

“Man is not interested in the justice of God. Man is only interested in his own definition of justice. And notice those that are screaming justice have fabricated their own definition of justice right now,” Hibbs says.
He further notes how many Christians today are afraid to touch politics while also becoming frustrated when something happens in the political sphere that they don’t agree with. Hibbs believes that because the Word of God is over everything else, we have an obligation to get involved politically. Besides dealing with the immediate issue of politics, Hibbs also says that we are living in a time of deception.
“There’s a lot of good people that are being deceived by whoever makes the most noise,” Hibbs says.
As our world grows darker, Hibbs says we need to stand up for the truth of Scripture, and to advocate for biblical principles to take centerstage of our nation.
“We’re to get out front and we’re to speak up. We are to call things out, always in love, always in the biblical truth,” Hibbs says.
Just as Psalm 94 describes the need for God to take vengeance and do what only He can do, we are living in a time right now where we need to seek the Lord with our whole hearts and do whatever He commands us to do.
