Crooked means to be bent, twisted, or deviated from the standard. It can also refer to the means people use to achieve their goals, such as taking shortcuts or breaking the law. Perverse means to distort or twist something. It can also refer to the way people distort the truth.
Apostle Paul describes his generation as crooked and perverse in Philippians 2:15. Moses describes Israel as a perverse and crooked generation in Deuteronomy 32:5. Acts 2:40-41 describes a crooked, perverse, wayward generation under God’s judgment.
Something different from what it ought to be. Crooked and twisted is a behavior that is depraved, degenerate, and immoral. A generation in which good is evil, and iniquity is first class. It is a generation in which everything has been turned upside down so much that opposite is the only word that best describes people’s actions.
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13). AMEN AMEN AMEN.
