Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
The righteous shall rejoice when He seeth the vengeance: He shall wash His feet in the blood of the wicked. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily He is a GOD that judgeth in the earth. (Psalms 58:1-2, 10-11)
When David wrote this Psalm, he was allowed to pray for vengeance on his enemies. But, even then, he was called to a standard of righteousness that no man can achieve apart from GOD. Without the Spirit and presence of GOD working in and through us, no man is without sIn, for we are all born sinners as sons of Adam.
Those of us in the Church are commanded to pray for our enemies, not that they will be defeated or destroyed, but that they will come to Christ and GOD will have the victory. When a sinner surrenders to GOD on His terms and is born again, it is by the grace of GOD and by faith alone. GOD as judge has every right to condemn those that disobey His divine Law, but in His mercy He delays that judgment that we might be saved through the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary.
One day, He is coming back, and He will have vengeance on all His enemies. They will be destroyed before His judgment and power, and Jesus will set His throne in Jerusalem. He will gather His own from every corner of the earth and restore all things to their former state. Until that day, we are to tell everyone the Good News of Salvation in Jesus Christ
We who are His, will be with Him for all eternity, but those that refuse to repent, that is, turn from their sIn and surrender to GOD, will be cast out. But, GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to the knowledge of the Truth. The Truth that Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. He wants to give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship that is abundant and everlasting. Place your faith and trust in Him and let Him give you His righteousness and Salvation.
In Christ,
