THESE ARE THE DAYS OF VENGEANCE

There are numerous passages where God takes vengeance on His enemies; foreign nations, empires, and even Israel.  A BIG issue in Scripture was Israel killing the prophets and servants of God.  God promised payback!  God has killed MILLIONS of people through floods, wars, natural disasters: storms, fires, plagues, pestilence, disease, fire from heaven burning and killing people in cities, animals to maul and kill, and supernatural power of an angel that killed 185,000 soldiers in a night, and the death angel that wiped out the first born in Egypt estimated to have killed a quarter to half a million.

 

Nahum 1:2 

A JEALOUS AND AVENGING GOD IS THE LORD;
 THE LORD IS AVENGING AND WRATHFUL.
 THE LORD TAKES VENGEANCE ON HIS ADVERSARIES,
AND HE RESERVES WRATH FOR HIS ENEMIES.

 

Deuteronomy 32:35

VENGEANCE IS MINE, AND RETRIBUTION;
 IN DUE TIME THEIR FOOT WILL SLIP.
 FOR THE DAY OF THEIR DISASTER IS NEAR,
 AND THE IMPENDING THINGS ARE HURRYING TO THEM.’





 

Deuteronomy 32:41-43

IF I HAVE SHARPENED MY FLASHING SWORD,
 AND MY HAND HAS TAKEN HOLD OF JUSTICE,
 I WILL RETURN VENGEANCE ON MY ADVERSARIES,
 AND I WILL REPAY THOSE WHO HATE ME.

42 I WILL MAKE MY ARROWS DRUNK WITH BLOOD,
 AND MY SWORD WILL DEVOUR FLESH,
 WITH THE BLOOD OF THE SLAIN AND THE CAPTIVES,
 FROM THE LONG-HAIRED LEADERS OF THE ENEMY.’

43 REJOICE, YOU NATIONS, WITH HIS PEOPLE;
 FOR HE WILL AVENGE THE BLOOD OF HIS SERVANTS,
 AND WILL RETURN VENGEANCE ON HIS ADVERSARIES,
 AND WILL ATONE FOR HIS LAND AND HIS PEOPLE.”



Psalm 149:7-9

TO EXECUTE VENGEANCE ON THE NATIONS,
 AND PUNISHMENT ON THE PEOPLES,

8 TO BIND THEIR KINGS WITH CHAINS,
 AND THEIR DIGNITARIES WITH SHACKLES OF IRON,

9 TO EXECUTE AGAINST THEM THE JUDGMENT WRITTEN.
 This is an honor for all His godly ones.
Praise the Lord!





Romans 12:19

Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for THE WRATH OF GOD, for it is written: “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord.







Isaiah 61:1-3 

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
 to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

2 TO PROCLAIM THE YEAR OF THE LORD'S FAVOR, 

AND THE DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD; 

to comfort all who mourn;

3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion—to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
 that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.

 

Isaiah 34:8

For the Lord has A DAY OF VENGEANCE, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.



Isaiah 63:4

For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and my year of redemption had come.



 LUKE 4:16-21

16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:

18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
    because he has anointed me
    to proclaim good news to the poor.
    He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the 

prisoners
    and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,

19    to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” 




THESE ARE DAYS OF VENGEANCE,


Luke 21:20-23

20 “But WHEN YOU SEE JERUSALEM SURROUNDED BY ARMIES, THEN KNOW THAT ITS DESOLATION HAS COME NEAR.21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it, 22 FOR

THESE ARE DAYS OF VENGEANCE,

TO FULFILL ALL THAT IS WRITTEN. 23 Alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and wrath against this people.


**The "you" in this passage were Christ's Apostles and disciples around 33AD.  Christ prophesied that Jerusalem would be surrounded by armies and then made desolate by those armies.  This is precisely what the Roman Armies did between 66-70AD as God's AVENGERS! THEY BROUGHT THE DAYS of VENGEANCE ON JERUSALEM!

Christ also says that the desolation (destruction) of Jerusalem would indicate ALL PROPHECIES WRITTEN WOULD BE FULFILLED at the DESTRUCTION OF EVIL WICKED JERUSALEM (70AD) that MURDERED THE SINLESS SON OF GOD, PRINCE OF PEACE, LORD OF LIFE!!!  Jerusalem symbolized the Old Covenant, Law, sacrifice, priesthood, religious duties.... and with gone, the ministry of death has died!

2 Thessalonians 1:5-10

5 This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which YOU ARE ALSO SUFFERING— 6 since indeed GOD CONSIDERS IT JUST TO REPAY WITH AFFLICTION THOSE WHO AFFLICT YOU, 7 and to GRANT RELIEF TO YOU WHO ARE AFFLICTED AS WELL AS TO US, WHEN THE LORD JESUS IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN WITH HIS MIGHTY ANGELS 8 IN FLAMING FIRE, INFLICTING VENGEANCE ON THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW GOD AND ON THOSE WHO DO NOT OBEY THE GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS. 9 They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, 10 when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

 


 

 


 

 

 

 




Did Christ FAIL in His Purpose to DESTROY THE DEVIL and his WORKS?  

Did Paul LIE about the CRUSHING of SATAN would happen 1st century? https://tueseahkiong.blogspot.com/2026/09/did-christ-fail-in-his-purpose-to.html?m=1



JERUSALEM SURROUNDED BY ARMIES 66-70AD  https://tueseahkiong.blogspot.com/2026/09/jerusalem-surrounded-by-armies.html?m=1


In the 1st century around 63 AD, Peter wrote, "THE END OF ALL THINGS is NEAR!"  What did he mean?  What was he talking about?  What happened?   Is THE END OF ALL THINGS still near 2000 years later?  Is it still future or did it happen already?  Or did he LIE???  https://tueseahkiong.blogspot.com/2026/03/blog-post_63.html

Isaac and Jacob

God repeats His promises to Abraham’s son Isaac.

Isaac’s son Jacob (later named Israel) has 12 sons, who become the 12 tribes of Israel.

Moses

God calls Moses to lead Israel out of Egypt.

The Exodus, Mount Sinai, Wilderness Wandering

 


4. Conquest and Settlement (Joshua)

Joshua

Joshua leads Israel into the Promised Land. Israel defeats many of its enemies but does not fully obey God.  The people settle in the land God promised to Abraham.

 

 

5. The Time of the Judges 

God raises up judges as military and spiritual leaders.

Israel repeatedly falls into a cycle:

1. Sin, 2. Oppression, 3. Cry for help, 4. Deliverance

Judges 21:25 – “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”

 

6. The United Kingdom (1 Samuel–1 Kings)

Samuel

Samuel is a prophet and priest. Israel demands a king, rejecting God as their true king.

 

Saul

Israel’s first king.   Starts well but disobeys God.  God removes the kingdom from Saul.

 

David

Defeats Goliath and becomes a great military leader.  Described as “a man after God’s own heart.”  Makes serious mistakes but repents.  God promises David that his kingdom will last forever.

 

Solomon

David’s son.   Asks God for wisdom and becomes famous for it.   Builds the first Temple in Jerusalem.  Later turns away from God due to idolatry and many marriages.

 

 

7. The Divided Kingdom

 

After Solomon’s death, the kingdom splits:

 

Northern Kingdom: Israel

Made up of 10 tribes (including Ephraim and Manasseh, Joseph’s sons).  19 kings — all are considered evil.  Conquered by Assyria in 722 BC.   The people are scattered and Israel ceases to exist as a nation.

 

Southern Kingdom: Judah

 

Made up of Judah and Benjamin.  Jerusalem and the Temple are located here.  20 kings — 8 are considered good.  Conquered by Babylon in 586 BC.

 

The Exile

Jerusalem is destroyed.  The Temple is torn down.  Many leaders and skilled people are taken to Babylon. The poorest people are left behind. The exile is God’s judgment for breaking the covenant.

 

8. Return from Exile (Ezra–Nehemiah)

Persia defeats Babylon and becomes the world power.  Persian kings allow the Jews to return home.  Zerubbabel - Leads the rebuilding of the Temple (the Second Temple). Ezra - Teaches God’s Law and leads spiritual reform. Nehemiah - Rebuilds the walls of Jerusalem.

 


9. Prophets and Hope

Throughout Israel’s history, God sends prophets to call the people to repentance.   Prophets warn of judgment but also promise restoration.  Many prophets speak of a coming Messiah, a future King who will save God’s people.  Eventually, prophetic voices stop.

 


10. Silence and Expectation

There are about 400 years of silence between the Old and New Testaments.  Israel lives under foreign rule and waits for God’s promises to be fulfilled.  The silence ends when John the Baptist appears, preparing the way for Jesus.
