Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year One

DAY 36 OF 365

How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth (Revelation 6:10)?

Are you prayerfully awaiting God to enact vengeance?

Jesus verbally assaults the scribes and Pharisees for their ungodly living. He equates their bloodthirsty ways to those who murdered the prophets. Our Lord says, “that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah” (Matthew 23:35). In one fell swoop, the Lord lays the murders of the first martyr Abel (Genesis 4) to the last Old Testament martyr Zechariah (2 Chronicles 24) at the feet of the religious hypocrites. (2 Chronicles is the last book in the Hebrew Bible.) They will not escape the Lord’s wrath. Paul writes, “Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord” (Romans 12:19).

Employment Point: Prayerfully wait upon the Lord to dispense justice.
