“O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever”
–Psalm 92:7-9
As the last days approach, it may seem as if the workers of iniquity have it all going their way.
1- Schemes and plans which have been carefully followed for CENTURIES finally appear to come to fruition.
“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”
–Psalm 2:2-3
2- Here on earth, Satan’s power is at its very STRONGEST. Satan’s power is so strong, the entire earth (except for the few believers) worships at Satan, his man of sin and their idol’s feet.
“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
–Revelation 13:4,8
3- The man of sin’s three-and-one-half-year control of the earth FINALLY takes place.
“and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months…and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”
–Revelation 13: 5,7
4- Those who follow after God Almighty and His Son, Jesus Christ, are completely dominated by the dragon (Satan), the man of sin and their many workers of iniquity.
“I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time [three and one-half years].”
–Daniel 7:21,25
“And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them”
–Revelation 13:6-7
So, in the very last days before the return of Jesus Christ, the workers of iniquity appear to be in high cotton.
HOWEVER, the workers of iniquity–even in the final days–operate under some SEVERE handicaps.
While the number of handicaps is almost too great to count, what follows is several of the more severe.
* THE WORKER OF INIQUITY SUFFERS FROM A LACK OF INFORMATION. This lack of information takes two main forms: a lack of detailed information about the events, people and outcomes which prevent them from making good decisions; and, trusting to information which is NOT correct, which also prevents them from making good decisions about their future.The first type of information deficit is a factor of their NOT belonging to the kingdom of heaven and NOT receiving useful information from the One who sees all, knows all, is everywhere. The second type of informational lack has to do with stories and information the workers of iniquity “know” because someone else has told them it is so–and it is not.
“What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.”
—Mark Twain
* THE WORKER OF INIQUITY SUFFERS FROM A LACK OF FAITH. Without faith, the worker of iniquity cannot have a healthy fear of God.A fear of God is a prerequisite for all types of wisdom and knowledge.
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge”
–Proverbs 1:7
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.”
–Proverbs 9:10
“The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.”
–Proverbs 15:33
Without faith and a fear of the LORD, the worker of iniquity is handicapped by cutting off a conduit of wisdom and knowledge–both of which would prove helpful in making right decisions.
* THE WORKER OF INIQUITY HAS BEEN MIS-EDUCATED FROM AN EARLY AGE.

All of the disadvantages listed make it extremely difficult for the worker of iniquity to make good decisions.
For this reason (and others), believers are to pray for the workers of iniquity.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
