Delayed justice incites men to wickedness

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, God's people need to learn patience in the realm of world and civil government. While wealthy men and government leaders are involved in great wickedness and are seeming to get aways with it, I am reminded in the scripture of the suddenness of God's judgement. 1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
