The Vengeance is Mine Scripture is one of the most fearful and frightening phrases from the Bible. This very disturbing announcement found in the Vengeance is mine Bible verse can bring forth immediate fear within, if you find yourself on the wrong side of the Lord. As it is written ...
30For we know Him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge His people.
31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
No, that does not sound good at all. So, how do we avoid angering the Lord concerning this topic? The Vengeance is mine Scripture clearly warns anyone who angers the Lord of the serious danger for choosing to do so. This includes modern day Christians so we better research this matter. The absolutely intriguing and thought provoking message within the Vengeance is mine Bible verse study will truly enhance and enLIGHTen your YOU-nique Christian walk.
Let us begin by sharing a very important truth ... Over the years, I have seen some souls preach that if one ever sins, after one becomes a Christian, that they are destined for hell and they have no chance at God's Grace. This has had many lost and troubled Christians and potential Christians that God seeks to reach, feel they are inadequate and unworthy because they know that they have sinned and do sin after becoming a Christian and they walk away, never to return to Christianity.
This is one of the Vengeance is mine Bible verse fears that is used against Christians who sin after they become Christians.
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have
received the knowledge of the Truth, there remaineth no more
sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery
indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
The Vengeance is Mine Saith the Lord Vow
The Vengeance is Mine Bible Verse Meaning
There are a few problems with that being the interpretation of the above Vengeance is mine quote. First, I am sure we can all agree that most souls, if not all have fallen short (sinned) after becoming a Christian. Is there one person you know who has not sinned after becoming a Christian? Some may say ... "Yes, but my sins are little ole bitty things," and point to another and say "But that persons sins are huge in comparison." Jesus told of just such a person in Luke 18:10-14.
The problem with the Vengeance is mine Bible verse viewpoint is that the Bible is clear that if we break one law, we break them all:
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
So, if we all sin after we become Christians, how do we explain that Scripture which is being used by some holier than thou judges to condemn God's children?
Seemed pretty clear in the Vengeance is mine saith the Lord warning though, that if we willfully sin after we become a Christian, we will fearfully look forward to fiery indignation.
The Vengeance is Mine Quote Warning
First off ... Fiery indignation does not necessarily imply that we will go to hell. It could very well mean that we will be corrected or punished. I mean we experience "fiery" trials and that does not mean actual fire.
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
And what of that word "indignation?" It is defined as meaning "righteous anger." So fiery indignation is just that ... A fiery anger from the Lord, usually resulting in correction or punishment.
However, looking in the Word of God (Bible) and seeing His wrath kindled many times from the men and women who disobeyed Him from the Book of Genesis to those who will in the future, as shared in the Book of Revelation, we find that it was/is rarely eternal punishment.
So, we are now considering that maybe the Vengeance is mine Bible verse that is being used to scare away the precious little lambs of God who sometimes sin just as we all do, obviously means that sinning after becoming a Christian angers the Lord and can be a punishable offense, though not necessarily eternal.
Check out the following the Vengeance is mine quote:
6 For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth
every son whom He receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with
sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are
partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which
corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be
in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their
own pleasure; but He for our profit, that we might be partakers of
His Holiness.
Chasten is defined as ... To correct by punishment or discipline. It even uses the word "tame" as in taming an unruly child. So chasten means to correct or punish as to tame us.
The Vengeance is Mine Quote Deception
The Vengeance is mine saith the Lord question is ... Why would God "Chasten" Christians?
God punishes us for sinning after becoming Christians, so that we will not be deemed as Fatherless (bastards) so we can "partake of His Holiness." How could the ideology of "Once we become Christians and we sin one time after that, we go to Hell," ever make sense?
Vengeance is mine Bible verse point of interest ... Evidence points out yet again, Houston, we have a problem with Scripture interpretation.
Now, for those of you who may be saying, "Woooooohooooooo baby, I can sin after being a Christian!" You can stop doing the Snoopy dance. Though God is all about Love and Grace, it is down right scary when we anger God:
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
So, do not use God's Love and Grace as an opportunity to sin.
Here is a little tidbit of information for you. Did you know that the word "opportunity" was not used in the KJV of the Bible until the New Testament? Very fitting because we now have opportunity through Jesus who brought in the New Covenant prophesied in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament.
So, use this Grace as an opportunity to overcome the curse that Paul spoke of in Romans, Chapter 7 when he said those words that echo in our mind and heart when we sin ...
"Oh wretched man that I am."
This sin, lives in our flesh, which was placed upon us because of Adam and Eve's choice when tempted in the Garden of Eden:
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.
The Vengeance is Mine Saith the Lord Purpose
Avoid the Vengeance is Mine Bible Verse
Due to this Choice made by the first man and woman ... The sin is now in the flesh of all mankind and when we are born, we are destined to death ... Unless we make the choice to believe in Jesus:
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
This may sound kinda weird, but if you stop and think about how many times you did something and just wanted to kick your own behind for making the unwise choice. You will see that there is something within us that wants its own way.
It is self ... It is the flesh.
Hey, have you ever noticed that self spelled backwards is fles. Kind of close to flesh huh? Just a kind of weird thing I wanted to share with you. The good news is ... This sin within our flesh "curse" ... Will soon be lifted.
When we are lifted out of these bodies and given a new body as shared in 1 Corinthians 15:35-57 ... It reveals that soon, we will trade up this cursed body of sin and receive a celestial body and become immortal.
Meaning ... We will live forever with Jesus. Until then ... We fight.
Not by focusing on the selfish addictions that we seek to be rid of, but rather by devoting all our mind, heart, time and energy to Jesus.
Surround ourselves with that which we seek to become. Why should you surround yourself with things that remind you of God and your walk with Him? Because you become as what you surround yourself with. Your eyes are the portal to the soul, so wouldn't it be a good idea to influence your soul with holy things? We are greatly influenced by what our eyes are exposed to.
How true and Biblical is this? Jacob influenced his father-in-law Laban's flocks to bear striped, speckled, and spotted offspring by facing the animals toward tree branches that he peeled in striped, speckled and spotted patterns (Genesis 30:37-39). If you want to be conformed to the image of God, surround yourself with Godly things.
The Vengeance is Mine Bible Verse Tip ... Avoid being idle. I have truly found that being idle is the devil's playground. There is nothing like an idle mind sitting there like a sponge wanting to soak up ideas, meanwhile an enemy of our soul hanging out who is more than willing to hook you up with some thoughts, which will blossom into sin.
Then, he runs off and stands in line in Heaven, like he did in the book of Job, so he can accuse you for thinking those thoughts and even acting on said thoughts:
For the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
The Vengeance is Mine Saith The Lord to Who
The Vengeance is Mine Bible Verse Blessing
Many feel that, because Satan is the enemy of our souls, that we can go around mocking and cursing Satan. The Bible is clear on this matter:
10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust
of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they,
selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
11 Whereas Angels, which are greater in power and
might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
The wording of the Vengeance is mine quote does not reflect the resistance of mankind against human government, But rather mankind speaking against supernatural powers and authority. This is proven when it says Angels fear to bring accusation against these "dignities."
Angels certainly do not fear to bring accusation against a human. Furthermore, the word "dignities" comes from the Greek word "doxa," which is translated as being "supernatural powers." The book of Jude further explains:
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh,
despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the Archangel, when contending with the
devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against
him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
Our enemy, Satan is of such "high authority" that even Michael "does not bring against him a railing accusation but simply said "The Lord rebuke you" ...
High Authority?
How is that you may ask? Our enemy of the soul ... Satan was chosen by God to be an anointed cherub ...
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the Holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
If even Michael ... An Archangel chooses not to accuse Satan of being this or that but only says "The Lord rebuke thee" ... Shouldn't we as mere humans follow suit? God created Satan which means Satan belongs to God.
The Vengeance is Mine Quote Barrier
And God anointed him just as He did King Saul and King David. And David made it clear that we are not to talk or act harshly against God's anointed, whether it be past or present.
And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.
1 Samuel 24:10
Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed.
2 Samuel 1:14
And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?
Even though David was to replace Saul as the anointed king ... Even though Saul sought to kill David ... David knew better than to talk against or harm someone God once anointed. And that was a mere human who was anointed.
Vengeance is Mine Scripture Reminder ... Satan was/is an anointed angel so it is wise not to be badmouthing or judging him either. It is not our place to judge mankind or Satan. We can dislike the acts of Satan, but it will always boil down to; Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. Let go and let God deal with it.
The Bible is clear that God is in control and that God is merely allowing Satan to finish out his "term" until Satan is punished which occurs just after the End Times is over and Antichrist (Who is Satan's puppet during the End Times used to torment Christians) is defeated by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ at the infamous battle of Armageddon. That is when Satan is taken and bound in chains and cast into the Bottomless pit for 1000 years. This is during the same time period as the Millennium.
And He laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.
And when Satan is released after the 1000 years has expired, Satan will make choices which gets him in trouble with the Lord again by trying to harm God's people who are dwelling in peace and safety on earth, but this time Satan is cast into the Lake of Fire ... Forever. Vengeance is Mine saith the Lord.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan
shall be loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the
four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together
to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and
compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and
fire came down from God out of Heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the
lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast (Antichrist) and the false prophet
are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Today ... Satan knows that his time is very limited and he is trying to lure as many souls as he can away from the Lord. He is going to do some horrible things during the End Times, but as you just read ... God has this covered. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. It is not our place to condemn and we need to stay in our lane and keep our minds and hearts focused on the Lord. Knowing that Satan seeks our demise ... It is best to hear and adhere to the warning of the Apostle Peter;
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
It is always best to watch your own fruits and the fruits of others as to determine if you/they are being influenced by the enemy of our soul (Satan).
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which
are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such
like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time
past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of
God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
The Vengeance is Mine Scripture Fruits
As you can see ... Negative thoughts and emotions such as anger, lust, greed, envy, hatred, wrath, etc. are fruits of the flesh and are a cancer to the soul. These unhealthy fruits are not to be partaken of, lest you be caught up in the same type of sin as Adam and Eve who partook of forbidden fruit and were kicked out of Eden. Nehhhhhhh, that does not sound good at all. Instead choose the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and
righteousness and Truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
It appears that we have found the truth of the Vengeance is mine Bible verse and discovered what is acceptable unto our Lord. The next time you are lured away by the enemy of our soul and afterward are disgusted with yourself for falling victim yet again, Don't go get mad ... Go get Jesus !!!
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the
power of His might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done
all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with
truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel
of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of Faith, wherewith ye
shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the Word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the
Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication
for all Saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I
may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the Gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I
may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Don't be mad at Satan, be glad for the Grace given to us because our Lord Jesus died for mankind's sins. Always remember friends that God knows what is going on and how His enemy is the one that is luring His children to sin and how His enemy is seeking our soul. God gave His only BEGOTTEN Son to be beaten, battered and torn, then hung on a Cross for the past and present sins of His other children, whom the enemy of their soul (Satan) lured into sin and will continue to lure God's children into committing sin, if and when he can. But, again ... Thank God for God's Grace.
Vengeance is Mine Scripture Tidbit of truth ... What has occurred my friends is comparable to your own child being kidnapped by an evil soul and taught horrible things and one day the child was found as an adult, full of the sins that the child within was taught for many years and has all these terrible addictions.
What parent who had their child returned would say ... "Well, Lookie here. Welcome home kiddo and all that jazz, but if you sin one time, you are out of here."
Yeah, I have trouble believing that a loving and merciful Father would be so eager to have us thrown into Eternal fire with His enemy because we sin once after becoming a Christian because of having to deal with the baggage we carry from the flesh, being filled with the fruits of the Original sin.
The Vengeance is Mine Bible Verse Summary
If you ever see anyone preaching that nonsense to God's children ... Stand up for Truth and save the soul from the grasp of the enemy of our soul speaking his lies, through one portraying themselves as being wise and religious. Even Satan quotes God's Word but warps the meaning.
So, to share the Vengeance is Mine Scripture Truth with others is right to do. But, Con-demning God's children to hell for sinning after becoming a Christian and mocking God's Angels is certainly not. God will chasten His own children as He sees fit and God will chasten His Angels, such as Satan, as He sees fit.
It is God's job, not ours. Hear and adhere to these words shared within the Vengeance is mine Bible verse ...
Vengeance is MINE Saith The Lord !!!
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

There is a force out there that is attempting to overtake us all; it is Satan. There is another force that is protecting us from him; it is the Holy Spirit. It is a battle for souls. This battle is called Spiritual Warfare, and like it or not, you are right in the middle of it.
