Wicked Judges: Some Things Never Change

The actions of modern leftist judges bear notable parallels to wicked judges throughout the Bible.

When reading Scripture, it’s not uncommon to come across passages describing corrupt, evil judges and rulers who oppressed their people. These wicked judges and rulers exhibited moral failure and corruption. They accepted bribes, prioritized personal gain, and led entire societies away from righteousness. They serve as cautionary tales of how authority can be abused, causing societal decay and even divine judgment.

It continues today. Here is a short list of modern judicial actions that have interfered with the policies of the Trump administration. Comparing corrupt judges from the biblical and modern eras reveals themes of ideological bias, the perversion of justice, and consequences for governance.

The Bible’s Old Testament examples illustrate wicked judges as those who exploited their positions for personal or ideological ends, often at the expense of justice and the common good. Eli’s sons (1 Samuel 2:12-17) are described as “worthless men” who abused their priestly roles by seizing the best sacrificial portions and engaging in immorality, showing a blatant disregard for God’s laws. Similarly, Samuel’s sons (1 Samuel 8:1-3) “turned aside after dishonest gain, accepted bribes, and perverted justice,” prompting the Israelites to reject their leadership. These figures embody a corruption that undermined societal trust and invited divine retribution. King Ahab and Jezebel (1 Kings 16:29-33, 21:1-16) took this farther by orchestrating murder and theft to seize Naboth’s vineyard, symbolizing rulers who prioritize power and idolatry over righteousness. Manasseh (2 Kings 21:1-16) demonstrated extreme wickedness through idolatry, child sacrifice, and bloodshed, leading Judah into moral decay.

We have recently seen a roster of federal judges, many appointed by Biden and Obama, issuing rulings that have blocked Trump administration initiatives such as freezing federal funding and restructuring government agencies. For instance, Biden appointee

Our corrupt judges must be atheists or they would be losing sleep worrying about their own eventual judgement day.

And God HATES injustice and those who pervert justice.

Their accountability will be great indeed.

“These wicked judges and rulers exhibited moral failure and corruption.”

“Article III of the U.S. Constitution establishes the judicial branch of the federal government, which includes the Supreme Court and other inferior courts created by Congress. It outlines the powers, jurisdiction, and the tenure of federal judges, ensuring they hold their positions during good behavior and that their salaries cannot be diminished while in office.”

“ensuring they hold their positions during good behavior”

So who decides if they are not doing that and what can be done to fix that problem?
