Not only will the Lord establish international peace and stability in the future messianic kingdom, but He will also rule the world with impeccable justice.  This is what even inanimate creation awaits.

Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Psalm 96:10-12.

Give or Take

Greed and lust for power drive people to amazing injustice.  It is the serving of self, typically at the expense of others.

“Luxury leads to vice when a person becomes consumed with the pursuit of pleasure, since a life without self-denial soon becomes out of control in every area.”  John MacArthur, Bible Commentary, pg. 1895, notes for James 5:5.
