Who are the wicked.................................?

Are wicked people viewed by God the same as people view wicked people.

2Thessalonians 1:8,9- In a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance upon those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. 9 These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength. (Wicked person is one who chooses not to know God or who knows about God but refuses to obey.)

If God never intervene and destroyed the wicked how would this scripture ever be fulfilled?

Psalms 37:11- But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

Psalms 37:28,29- For Jehovah is a lover of justice, And he will not leave his loyal ones. To time indefinite they will certainly be guarded; But as for the offspring of the wicked ones, they will indeed be cut off. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it.

    Everlasting pertains to time and eternity does not. When eternity starts for mankind time will cease to exist, because time always has a start and end. Everlasting is the time of the 1000 year reign (Millennium) with Christ. All who have rejected and not known Christ will not share this reign with Christ. They will be in the grave in destruction.

    Rev_20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

    The lake of fire is not hell because hell and death is cast into the lake of fire to exist no more.. The lake of fire is a cleansing fire for all those of mankind who are resurrected after the Millennium.

    The wicked are Satan and his angels. Mankind are sinners who do wicked things, but God does not see man as wicked, just sinners who do wicked acts.(sins).

    Isa_1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

    We are washed by fire.

    Luk_3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

    God told me to stay away from the evil ones so I have a right to judge your words or your actions so that I can protect myself but only God can judge your heart. You may be evil right up to the last minute and then realize your mistake. I would not know this but God would.

    Nobody in particular, but if I would say religion in general is the closest to being wicked considering all the wars, discrimination and poor health it has left in it's wake.

    all who are dead in their sins (dead spiritualy) when we come to God through faith in Jesus we are made alive together with Christ (alive spiritualy) = salvation, been born again of the spirit, this is what salvation is all about. now you can understand what he bible is all about because it ia a spiritual book. to natural man it sounds foolish to him.
