"...I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. And they cried out with a loud voice, 'O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood?" (Revelation 6:9-10)
Wouldn't we cry out in the same way if we had been slain for Christ? Wouldn't we demand that justice be served, and punishment be meted out to those who had quenched the flame of our lives? Of course we would! We wouldn't CEASE to cry out! Our blood was shed! Our life was given! How long until we see justice?! How long until retribution!
Every delayed moment that God doesn't bring judgment on the wicked...is an evangelistic opportunity. It's a time (given by God) for them to repent. It's a chance (given by God) to be forgiven of crimes against created and Creator. "The Lord...does not wish that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." (II Peter 3:9-ESV)
I'm tired of this world. I'm tired of not seeing God in this country. I'm tired of people who want to, forcibly, remove God from government, schools, and any public area. I'm tired of this world, and I want to see justice! I want to see a God-given retribution meted out on all those who oppose Him! How long will this world stand in its sin?! I'm sure you have asked the same...but every moment God doesn't bring judgment on the wicked is an evangelistic opportunity. He is not willing that any should perish...am I?
