Something About Divine Vengeance

[Michael37]

Dear Reader, here are some points to note about Divine Vengeance:

1. This world is fallen, cursed, and marked for destruction.
2. Only those God chooses to be merciful to can escape His Vengeance.
3. God is always righteous in His Judgment, whether to mercy or to punishment.
4. The punishment of those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is not unjust.
5. If God was the cause of unrighteousness then His vengeance upon the unrighteous would be unjust.
6. God chooses who to be merciful to according to their faith in Him as evidenced in their obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ. 
7. The blood of Christ cleanses from all sin so that God's righteous anger is appeased.

2Th 1:3-10  We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other,  

(4)  so that we ourselves boast of you among the ekklesias of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure,  

(5)  which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer;  

(6)  since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you,

(7)  and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,  

(8)  in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.  

(9)  These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,  

(10)  when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

Thankyou God for your mercy.

Hi Michael37, 

Your quote of 2 Thessalonians 1:6-10, refers to the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster. The Lord's Day of vengeance and wrath by fire, earthquakes, storms an tsunamis. 

It will be the next prophesied event, then all the rest of Revelation from Rev 7 to 19 will take place, then the Millennium reign of Jesus and after that; Eternity.

It is very interesting to watch things progress to the end.

Oh Yes. Seeing things in history and current events that align with Scripture is a favourite occupations of mine.

Biblical Theology provides insight into why God is vengeful towards some and merciful to others.

Is the Church (that means all of us) really prepared for Revelation (the end) to happen? 

We think there is a panic going on right now with covid/vaccine/no vaccine, wildland/forest fires, concerns regarding Chinese made large power transformers installed in the electrical grids of many nations (with backdoor programs installed), hurricanes/floods/droughts, Islamic extremists, to name just a few of the ongoing issues around the world, just think what the panic will be like when the earthquakes, meteorites, and deadly plaques (far worse than covid) strike.  

Even if half of the world population believe in some type of god that means around 5 billion people are going to go react in terrible fear.  We have seen from covid just how bad it can get when fear enters the picture.  Can you imagine what it would be like with a global black out?

Are we prepared for the onslaught of masses and masses of people going completely insane with fear?

                                                                                Ref: Revised English Bible, some verses abridged.

 

These 72 Bible verses are most of those which describe the Lord’s Day of vengeance and wrath. They are quite different and separate from what happens at the Day of the Sovereign Lord, Revelation 16:4, that is at the return of Jesus. It is obvious that this terrible Day is before the Return, as ‘He will arise, He comes down, dense cloud enfolds Him’, etc. Psalms 11:4-6, Psalms 18:7-12  It is not and cannot be a manmade event, such as a nuclear exchange, that would not cause all the effects described and would leave radiation pollution in the Land.

This Day is the means whereby the Lord judges the nations, not individuals, as at the Great White Throne, much later and it is mainly those nations and entities that commence an attack upon the State of Israel. It is the fulfilment of Psalms 83 and Micah 4:11-12.
