WHERE NONE DISCERNS RIGHTEOUSNESS, THERE IS NO JUSTICE!

Isa 59:15  Yea, truth is hid; and he that departs from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased HIM that there was no judgment.
Isa 59:16  And He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore HIS arm brought salvation unto HIM; and His righteousness, it sustained Him.

BE NOT DECEIVED!  Where ignorance reigns, false righteousness beguiles the masses under many forms of vain misrepresentation! (Psalms 2, 14,53 .. Isaiah 59)  What then is the truth that a whole world has for many generations ignored?   The nature of a devil or a devilish system is NEVER that SIN be fully put away! .. but that men think themselves wise while they yet of lesser conscience consider themselves wise while they make alliances sin with sin; so often snared in vicious cycles continuing to war, but only bringing preserving contentious sin; each one unwilling to relinquish from his own evil! (Isaiah 59)   This is all fallen conscience under which men are deceived to presume themselves just as if having already overcome the world unto victory before the Most High!  Sin in this world has only made alliances with sin against sin accomplishing only unrighteousness till comes at last a Righteous One through who what indeed is divine righteousness is revealed!    Messiah did not give his life that SIN be hid; but rather exposed to at last be put away!

When the apostle Sha'ul (Paul) wrote his epistles to the various nations of Rome to the east and to the west, let us keep in mind that there would have been no need for the nations to convert, but tbecause the inabsolvent diversitudes of the nations are SIN, not the righteousness of YAH!   Remember that the wages of sin is death.
