What the recognized saints have always known is that Christ is our complete identification. But we live among obstinate men who insist on redefining God's Law. The wicked redefine law and produce a violent society. God designed the entire time sequence from eternity past. The Psalmist naturally starts from a presuppositional view point. God's creation is evidence of a social ideal proactively working eternal law. The empirical evidence of His authoritative word. Man began redefining God's ideal creation. In a sinless world, all the possible things in divine creation would work together in absolute unity and the intensest enjoyment. However, all shameful things corrupted created conflict.Even though sin has brought corruption, it has not stopped God from achieving His intended purposes. If the conditions of the world could lower God's authority and ultimately bring complete destruction to creation, the saints would have no hope. The ethical question is, if obstinate man redefines discriminatory law, can God overcome the bureaucratic culture where men inevitably become their own gods? God established moral authority by the original creation, speaking all necessary things into independent existence. All generations that go back to the first have implemented redefining God's supreme law. The Psalmist is right when he says that people plan their schemes in bed. From there, they start to develop society from their own perspective by implementing recent laws. However, when people change God's law, they introduce prolonged conflict into society. Every current generation is caught in the political cycle of personal conflict of prior generations that have shamelessly promoted oppressive law with critical additions. Without moral law, the responsible people could not remain a civilized nation. We would merely call lawless heathens rogue nations or depots. If nations decline by merely establishing criminal violence through many perverse generations in redefinition, what remedy is graciously given to saints?This causes confusion about what is right and wrong. We cannot be intimately concerned about things we cannot control. How do we have recourse against social evils that have been devised and ruminated over by generations already dead? The problem is that man lacks understanding of the narrow view of God's knowledge of a process producing the evils we face. The ideal world remains moderately selected the official cards we have been dealt unjustly. But as I have stated this develops a problem with the purpose God developed for us and frustration from the beginning opposed by powers outside of our ability to transform. This is the moral confusion. It's dangerous to inaccurately describe our personal problems and lives as being impossible, just because of the personal cards we were dealt. All evil thrives because people who are exposed to it grudgingly accept the social order that has been created by oppressive laws. Society is further corrupted when those in power intentionally break the mold of what is considered acceptable, thereby forcing astandard that is unnatural and desperate onto man. We all live within the definitions that have been set by society, grudgingly accepting them even though they may not be accurate. This is the critical problem that the Psalmist is trying to answer in this Psalm - how can we break free from the false definitions that have been set for us and establish our own identity?What he's saying is that most of our social problems come from how our definition of what's morally right and wrong has changed since the beginning of time. To really establish God's kingdom, we need to expand our view, which has been shaped by the evil that's everywhere in our generation. It's easy to only worry about the personal problems we can see. But we can't deny the origins and different types of wickedness in our world. The Psalmist is saying that we have a way to deal with the evil that's been around since the beginning of time and that has created our present culture. We're in the commanding presence of God, who knows every current plan and every event from the beginning of time.What we will encounter in opposition during our time is God. He is fully satisfied because He accurately perceives social problems from the humble beginning of the world. He willingly allows no specific questions. God made us like Himself, which is why we consider many questions. If we were satisfied merely with living according to the pagan mold, we would not ask questions. We would merely accept the impossible standards. God has not established us to grudgingly accept the political status quo. He has comfortably established us to be reasonably satisfied with chief justice and tangible equity. This is why He has pronounced the eternal curse of the moral law. It is the eternal presence of Gods satisfactory justice that makes us happy.
