Proverbs 4:14-17
Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way. For they cannot sleep till they do evil; they are robbed of slumber till they make someone fall. They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.
When you mention the phrase 'enemies of Christ' it could even refer to those who still use His name to forward their animosity agenda against Christ our Lord in a very subtle and deceptive way. You hate Him and His ways but you still use His name in pretension. Do you think that He does not know this? Jesus Christ our Lord knows this. Why is He waiting to strike at them, if He knows it, you may be wondering? He has His day of vengeance and retribution. It may be around the nearest corner! Meanwhile, go ahead and keep on testing Him with your deception, if you dare. We know that you are behind all the corruption that's taking place but you pretend like as though you are not. You can fool sinful man like you who obey the sinful nature of the Devil in them but you can never fool the LORD and His people who have the divine nature of Christ formed in them. You will learn this soon. It will be a permanent and painful experience for you and yours when this comes your way from the LORD soon. We rather warn you to truly change your ways now before it comes. Once it comes , you won't be able to change it. It won't be in your power to change it. It will be His power demonstrated fully, this time around. Probably, you have been asking, "who is more powerful all this while", it will be demonstrated before your eyes to show you who actually is. The LORD being quiet will not mean that He is weak. He waits for your sins to reach the heavens. How do your sins reach the heavens. Read the bible history then. You will see it many times over that sin reached the heavens and that's the limit you can go. He is waiting and watching too. He has the right time to act. When He acts there will be no point of turning or relenting. Ample warnings were given before any actions were taken by the LORD. The fear of the LORD will come with it when He acts. Still, there will be some chronically hardened in sins. their pride will come in between them and the LORD God Almighty. Can you match His strength and power? Think for a moment! God who created heaven, earth and everything in and around it, can you test strength with Him. You'd rather not!
Hebrews 3:7-12
So, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert, where your fathers tested and tried me and for forty years saw what I did. That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, 'Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.' So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.' " See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
