“Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually” (Psalm 52:1 KJV).
Let us see how Psalm 52 can teach us something about the past, the present, and the future….
Re-read today’s Scripture, Psalm 52:1: “Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.” This could be either Doeg or King Saul, for they are both working with Satan against the believer (David). In the ages to come, it anticipates the Antichrist and all other opposition to Israel’s believing remnant. The mighty man brags about his wickedness, gloating that he is unstoppable and will accomplish his goals. Yet, God’s goodness protects the believer.
Move on to verses 2-4: “The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.” As Doeg used his tongue to report harmful information to Saul about David, which led to dozens of deaths (85 Levitical priests perishing), so the Antichrist will be guilty of the following: “The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords” (Psalm 55:21). Cooperating with Satan, he is more interested in opposing the God of the Bible than doing what is right.
Verse 5: “God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.” David is comforted that the wicked will not get away with their evildoing, just as Saul perished violently in battle and the Antichrist will face destruction at Christ’s Second Coming. “And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thessalonians 2:8-12).
