This Story Isn't Over

Psalms 83:11 KJV

Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

Because of grace, because none of us deserve the mercy of a God, because "God commendeth His love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us"; because of these I have no good excuse to pray for the judgment of a God against anyone. But I do have precedent and promises to support the fact that no wickedness goes without judgment.

Precedent in what has happened in times before

Both in Old Testament times and New Testament times we have illustrations of God's judgment of those who stood against the people of God. During the 400 year break between the Testaments, and in our current church age, there are illustrations of the righteous judgment of God against those enemies of the gospel. Righteous men and women and children have been mistreated but those who have done the mistreating have, in many instances, experienced the awful hand of a God.

Promises for vengeance in the future

Many more believers have been abused than have a users been judged. At least it seems that way. But the answer to this is that God isn't finished yet.

• There is still a hell to come
• There is still a Tribulation of those on earth
• There is a great battle of Armageddon
• There is the judgment of the sheep and the goats before the Millennial Reign
• There is the Great White Throne Judgment

The story isn't over. The work if God isn't finished. His promises are not through

We don't ever need to pray for the judgment of the wicked for we know that judgment to be coming. But we can pray for their salvation because we too are debtors to grace; and we can rest in God's promises. In His time things will be made right.
