Isaiah 66:1-24; 2 Kings 21:1-17; 2 Chronicles 33:1-9; Psalm 82:1-8; 2 Chronicles 33:10-19; 2 Kings 21:18-26; 2 Chronicles 33:20-25; 2 Kings 22:1-2; 2 Chronicles 34:1-2; 2 Chronicles 34:3

Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance. (Psalm 82:8)

Reading the Bible's books of Isaiah and Kings, I get some idea of God's concern for the Israeli people. But the psalmist's words above remind me of the Lord's concern for all people. Every government, every leader, every ethnic group, and every person are subject to God's justice. And here the psalmist invites judgment.

Are we ready for it?
