Why do God Allow Wicked Men to Prosper and live Long?
Example King Saul, Pharaoh, Mannaseh, the son of Hezekiah.
Not God it’s common sense.. good people die because they are good and when you are good people will drain you... most people you see as wicked are realist

Karma is so real man. Pay close attention to the things you do, good or bad, and you'll see they all come back to you in similar circumstances.

Because this earth is of the devil. God has given it to satan, Wonder why satan tested Jesus and asked if He bow to him, he will give Him the earthly kingdom. Matthew 4:8., wonder why does that contested for election perform ritual upto killing of humans and still they prosper.

Cox the earth is of the devil, God has given it to him.

Prosperity is a Factor Principles. GOD Gave us all the Principles. And whoever applies the Principles is a candidate for the rewards. But note, the Prosperity of the wicked is his Destruction.

The Gain of Prosperity as a Child of GOD is that it comes with a Complete package which includes Peace ,Security and Eternal Life in Heaven.

GOD is So Merciful. There is no one as Merciful and Loving as GOD ALMIGHTY.

HE does not desire anyone to Perish in Hell. So Most times, HE gives Chance and Opportunity for the Wicked to amend and Repent. The LORD Values every soul and it Pains to see people go to Hell.

Also that Person who is evil could be a Beneficiary of His Goodness of Parents or Fore fathers who Served GOD and Loved GOD. But a time comes and the cup of iniquity gets Full and they are cut off.

Indeed you're a wise preacher. Make God continue to guide you by wisdom.

there is no god. randomness of life's happening is the reason many wicked people live longer. it's simply lottery that doesn't take into consideration your behaviours
Isaiah 46:9 says 'Remember the former things of long ago, That I am God, and there is no other. I am God, and there is no one like me.'
If there is no God, then who created the universe and all the things in it?

jesusjnr2020:
Ever since the fall of Man in the beginning, it became erroneous and somewhat ungodly measure the success of a man by how long he lived or the worldly things and possessions he acquired on Earth.

The best yardstick of success is God's approval and respect.

For instance, wicked Cain lived longer than Abel, but Abel was more successful than Cain because he was accepted by God but Cain was rejected.

Enoch who walked with God was said to have lived a shorter life than those who live longer in his day, but he was more successful than them, because he was accepted by God but those who lived longer were rejected. It was even said that he was not because God took him.

Jesus lived a short life on Earth, yet He's the most successful man that ever lived.

As for riches or worldly possessions, the rich man was a monumental failure despite being rich, while the beggar Lazarus was a confirmed success despite being poor, because Lazarus was accepted by God while the rich man was rejected.

There's another rich man who God called "a fool", why, because he was rich but also a failure despite that he trusted in his riches, because he wasn't rich towards God.

Hence, Jesus warned us to beware of covetousness because the life of a man did not consist in the abundance of possessions he had. Luke 12:15

So the question itself is based on an erroneous assumption, because God sees things differently from the way the world or man sees them, so what you call prosperity and long life may be poverty and short life before God respectively.

God bless.
MOD you just nailed it.
Thanks.

Because God loves and gives even the wicked a chance to repent and become righteous. At the same time providing cover for his children so they're not affected by the wickedness of men.

Well they do not prosper according to a verse in the book ecclesiastics 2:26" To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Jeremiah 12:1 asked same question.

My answer "The wicked never prospers

The problem some christians faces in the world today is that they measure worldly riches/money to success. Firstly, what's your definition of success? Riches and success are two different words, one can be rich without being successful in life.
Re: Why Does God Allow Wicked People To Prosper And Live Long? by purples25(f): 11:29am On Sep 05, 2021
I'm just glad that God is not like man. He gives second chances, and a million chances after that. He is merciful.

Unlike most of the men here that forgot that they are not God. They utterly condemn women who they have the same sin status with.

Who else says a woman is done, she's finished, don't touch her, nobody will marry her, evening newspaper, she can never marry, her life is finished because she is an aunty, she can never be forgiven, she can't eat her cake and have it...

Who else but men who now believe they are gods and can control the happiness of another human being, regardless of the fact that that human being is a woman.

Again I say thank goodness! That

God

Is not

a man.
