People have written books like “Your God is too Small.”
Your God is too nice” and “Your God is too safe”
Many people are familiar with “God is love” from
but we often forget the truth of
In the throes of the Civil War, the verses of the Battle Hymn of the Republic were penned.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord,
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.
no doubt this verse is based on this passage.
Sin’s Defeat by the God of Splendor
Edom- the Nation of Esau… His name is the word for Red.
Play on words.
This long time enemy of God and God’s people is representative of sin and all the unrepentant enemies of God throughout the ages.
God is seen as returning from battle, having thoroughly defeated HIS FOE.
Vindication- to administer justice.
execute judgment.
One writer, speaking of the bloodiness of this language, reminds us that even though it sounds horrible to us, it can and should be seen as a beautiful thing.
He gives the illustration of a bloody soldier liberating Jews from Nazi Germany.
Even though that soldier may be splattered with the blood of the enemy, he would have been seen as a hero!
The Spiritual World is no different.
We cannot negotiate with sin.
It is sin that killed Jesus.
and it sin that desires to kill all it touches.
Wrath’s Satisfaction by the God of Vengeance
When we think of revenge, we are always flawed by the concept.
The Lord says “Vengeance is mine”
Why? Well the truth is I cannot exact revenge without my own sinful nature getting in the way.
But God is completely holy.
He alone can judge.
He alone has the right to do so.
He points out in these verses that HE alone executed justice.
No one was there to help.. Why?
I believe it because no on else is holy enough.
I can’t help God judge, my sin causes me to stand condemned also.
Since God alone is righteous and holy, God alone can judge.
I see people say things like “Only God can judge me.”
WELL THAT’s NOT A GOOD THING, according to this passage.
When does this happen?
Love the Sinner, Hate MY SIN.
Until sin and those who propagate it are defeated, there is no genuine salvation available.
The idea that redemption and continued sin can coexist is not biblical
The thought that we can have forgiveness of sin by the blood of Jesus while continuing to practice that which killed him is ludicrous.
How can we make a place in our lives for what we are confident must be destroyed in the end if Christ is to reign?
How can I excuse my sin while condemning yours?
How can we acts as if sin is anything but the sworn, deadly enemy of all we hold precious?
