No reason. Jesus didn't live long. Muhammed didn't live long.

We were warned over and over about these.

Psalm 37 v 1 - 2
1. Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong;
2. for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

Psalm 37 v 7
7. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Psalm 73 v 1 - 13
1. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
2. But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold.
3. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4. They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong.
5. They are free from common human burdens; they are not plagued by human ills.
6. Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.
7. From their callous hearts comes iniquity ; their evil imaginations have no limits.
8. They scoff, and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
9. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.
10. Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance.
11. They say, “How would God know? Does the Most High know anything?”
12. This is what the wicked are like—always free of care, they go on amassing wealth.
13. Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure and have washed my hands in innocence.

Proverbs 3 v 31 - 35
31. Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways.
32. For the Lord detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence.
33. The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous.
34. He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
35. The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame.

Proverbs 23:17
Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD.

Proverbs 24:1
Do not envy the wicked, do not desire their company

Proverbs 24:19
Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked
