The imagery of cutting off the horns of the wicked signifies the removal of their power and influence. This phrase reflects God's judgment against those who oppose His will and act in wickedness. Throughout the Old Testament, God consistently demonstrates His sovereignty by humbling the proud and powerful who defy Him, as seen in the stories of Pharaoh in Exodus and Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel. The cutting off of horns can also be seen as a prophetic act, foreshadowing the ultimate defeat of evil at the end of times, as described in Revelation.<p><b>but the horns of the righteous will be exalted</b><br>In contrast, the exaltation of the horns of the righteous signifies the elevation and empowerment of those who live in accordance with God's will. This promise of exaltation is a recurring theme in Scripture, where God honors and uplifts those who are faithful to Him. The righteous are often depicted as being under God's protection and blessing, as seen in the lives of figures like Joseph and David. This phrase also points to the ultimate vindication and reward of the righteous in the eschatological future, where they will reign with Christ, as described in <a href="/revelation/20-4.htm">Revelation 20:4</a>. The exaltation of the righteous can be seen as a type of Christ, who, though humbled and crucified, was ultimately exalted and given the name above all names (<a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed to Asaph, a leader of one of the temple choirs, who often wrote about God's justice and sovereignty.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_wicked.htm">The Wicked</a></b><br>Represents those who oppose God and His ways, often characterized by pride and rebellion.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_righteous.htm">The Righteous</a></b><br>Those who follow God's commandments and live according to His will, often experiencing His favor and protection.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/h/horns.htm">Horns</a></b><br>Symbolic of strength and power in biblical literature, often used to represent authority or dominance.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/g/god's_judgment.htm">God's Judgment</a></b><br>The event where God exercises His justice, cutting off the power of the wicked and exalting the righteous.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_in_justice.htm">God's Sovereignty in Justice</a></b><br>God is the ultimate judge who will cut off the power of the wicked.
