THE WRATH AND VENGEANCE OF GOD
Pertinent Verses:
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given
all things into his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God abideth on him (John 3:35-36).
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness
of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it
unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are
made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse (Rom 1:18-20).
But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness
of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (Rom 3:5).
To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot
shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste (Deu 32:35).
The
righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked (Psa 58:10).
O LORD God, to
whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself (Psa 94:1).
Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be
strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you (Isa 35:4).
AndI will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard (Mic 5:15).
And when ye shall see Jerusalem
compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and
let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days
of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled (Luke 21:20-22).
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather
give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord (Rom 12:19).
Seeing it is a righteous thingwith God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you (2 Thes 1:6)
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like
manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance
of eternal fire (Jude 1:7).

HE IS DESPISED AND REJECTED OF MEN, A MAN
OF SORROWS
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we
shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted
with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, andcarried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he
was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep
have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed,
and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is
dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut
off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and
with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him;
he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and
the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge
shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors;
and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors
(Isaiah 53:1-12).
RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO ETERNAL LIFE
BY JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin;
and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there
is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression,
who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many
be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as
it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto
justification. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of
righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment cameupon all men to condemnation;
even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many
were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound.
But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness
unto eternal life by Jesus
Christ our Lord”
(Romans 5:12-21).
"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones,
or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all
things consist"
(Colossians 1:16-17).
TRUST IN HIM AT ALL TIMES
“My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation:
he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust
in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah”
(Psalms 62:5-8).
“The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his
countenance upon thee, and give
thee peace”
(Numbers 6:24-26).
