What does the Bible say about wickedness in the world?

Wickedness in the world, as described in Zechariah 5, is depicted through the vision of a woman in an ephah, symbolizing false religion and rebellion against God. This wickedness is contained and controlled by God's justice, signified by a heavy lead weight over the ephah. It embodies the allure of worldly philosophies and religions that deny the truth of God, ultimately leading to eternal separation from Him. Only through Christ, who became man to pay the sin debt for His people, can true salvation and justice be achieved. Thus, every religion or philosophy that rejects God’s revelation is categorized as false and wicked, which will ultimately be judged and removed by God.
