It is written Psalm 10:4 “The wicked,through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.” And also here in Psalm 59:12 “For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.”

Pride is like scales that cover the eyes of the carnally minded man that cannot see the spiritual things of God. It is written of Saul in Acts 9:1 “And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord…”

But the Lord Jesus would be revealed to Saul and ask Saul why he persecuted Him by persecuting his disciples. And then Saul would be made blind for 3 days until he received the Holy Ghost. But what I want you to see here is how it is described when Saul received his sight here in Acts 9:18 “And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.”

I believe this wording of the scales falling from the eyes is very important clue to see how the children of pride are blind until the Spirit of God anoints their eyes so they can see. In Job chapter 41 we see a sea beast called Leviathan which is a symbolism of the Red Dragon working in the many waters of humanity as shown in the book of Revelation. Notice in Job it says his scales are his pride….

Job 41:15 “His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.” He is also shown as the king of the children of pride. Job 41:34 “He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.”

The locust army in Revelation also had a king over them….Revelation 9:11 “And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. And Abaddon translated=destruction

And even so the children of pride like a swarm of locust go before destruction… Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”

It is written Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low. Those who have ears to hear, let them hear what the Spirit is saying.

Prov 12:6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood:

Reflective in this same sphere of things

Luke 11:54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

Jerm 5:26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

They take counsel in these same matters

Mat 22:15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
 
Back to the thread topic of I am awesome and have favor with God and will likely be sitting at His right hand and btw...you all suck and are probably going to hell.....followed by nonsensical grandiose application of scripture. Thank you smiley face and I love you all.

Carry on.

Yes, arrows like fiery darts....

Ephesians 6:16
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

Tongues set on fire of hell.
 
I have to wonder at the fact people seem to pontificate and wax loquacious about those issues of which they are most guilty.
