They say innocent people are guilty and put them to death.22 But the Lord is my place of safety, high on the mountain. They murder orphans.7 And they say the Lord does not see them doing these evil things! “They will be punished with everlasting destruction” (1:9). And all those who belong to You will honor You.  Again, the teaching we are considering today helps.  When you think about everlasting destruction, and what it would mean to be shut out of the presence of the Lord forever… you would not wish that on your worst enemy. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. Suppose during the detention, this boy punches the teacher.  What happens?  The student gets suspended from school. 11 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. “Salvation is not only a gift, but a vocation; we enter into it as we obey the voice of Jesus, ‘Follow Me.’” [3]. I have overcome the world. If the person who harmed you was to see what they did and truly to repent, you might find it in your heart to forgive them. 94 The Lord is a God who punishes people. Power and wealth count for nothing with Him.

You could spend your whole life shaping a god to your own liking—a god who loves what you love, a god who says what you want to hear and a god who calls you to live as you are already living.

Asaph comes to understand that a time will come when, “in a moment,” God will “destroy those who destroy the earth,” as John states it in Revelation 11:18. So, what did he feel as he wrote this? Bible verses related to Those Who Hurt Children from the King James Version (KJV) by Relevance - Sort By Book Order Matthew 18:6 - But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he …  Now the Spirit of God is on him giving him these words to write to the church.  During his three years of ministry Jesus did so much good—healing the sick, feeding the hungry, proclaiming the greatest teaching that this world has ever heard. 5 Lord, they hurt your people and make them suffer.  Isaiah says, “The Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6).  Bearing our sins means that Jesus bore our punishment for sin.  This is what was happening at the cross.  Isaiah says, “The punishment that brought us peace was on Him” (53:5). 16 No one helped me fight against the wicked. God hates the workers of iniquity (Psalm 5:5) God hates the wicked (Psalm 11:5) God hates the sacrifices of the wicked (Proverbs 15:8) God hates the ways of the wicked (Proverbs 15:9) Celebrate Impact: Take a bold stance with Unlocking the Bible to proclaim Christ mightily in 2021! 20 You don’t help crooked judges.

I praise you for the work you are doing in my life, teaching and perfecting my faith. God Will Punish Those Who Destroy the Earth/Animals? To be shut out from God’s presence and from His power means to be without hope and without love forever.  James Denny says it like this…, “Obey the Gospel and you enter into light in which there is no darkness.  Disobey the Gospel and you enter into darkness in which there is no light… A night in which no morning dawns” [2]. I know there is a verse in the Old Testament that supports the fact that God will punish those who literally kill animals, destroy the earth, pollute the earth, etc but I just do not recall the book, chapter and verse. Think about the man writing these words.  He once persecuted Christians himself!  Saul of Tarsus was the terror of the early church.  Breathing fire and slaughter, he was on his way to Damascus on a campaign of violence. The Lord our God will destroy them. Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose. 5. He knows that their thoughts are like a puff of wind.  Eternity hangs on this. John 16:33 I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace.  But such a god is only a projection of you. But what if God was, before us?  What if God is, without us?  And what if God always will be, despite us?  What if God is not dependent on us, but we are dependent on Him? Suppose on the way home, the same boy punches a policeman on the nose.  What happens?  He finds himself in jail. “[God] commands all people everywhere to repent.” Acts 17:30, Here is where that begins: My life can no longer be about me. The justice of God will often not be obvious in this world.  People who do good often suffer and people who do evil often prosper. No sin will be punished in a way that is disproportionate to the offense. However, forgiving those who hurt you can be a cleansing process.  You can have absolute confidence that no one will be punished for a sin he or she did not commit.  How can any sin deserve everlasting destruction?  If God is just, how can He punish like this?”, The best answer I ever heard to that question was given by a friend of mine who is a middle school pastor…. When will you learn your lesson?You are so stupid! What if God is abundantly good, and we are part of a world in rebellion against Him?  What if God is love, and you are running from Him?  What if He sees a future disaster that is hidden from you, and He is reaching out to save you from it?  That’s why He cried out, “My God, my God why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46)  Christ endured everything that hell is on the cross.  He entered hell so that you would never know what it is like.  That is the heart of the Gospel. God no longer punishes us for our sin; Jesus took that punishment. Where do you begin in loving your enemies? He will destroy them because they sinned. Last summer, long before we knew the date of this public launch, we planned to listen to God through 2 Thessalonians, and the verses that were read were set for today! You have a PROMISE from God Almighty that He will PUNISH … So if they were punished wouldnt it be like being punished all over again. If you have suffered at the hands of other people, or if someone you love has suffered as these Christians did, you will face with this great question: “How can I really believe that God is a loving God and God is a just God when so often good people suffer and those who do evil prosper?”. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. I think God teaches lessons over time and sometimes that may require punishing and other it may require forgiveness or forgetfulness. These saints were not to interpret their painful experiences as God’s angry punishment for their sins. You must try to understand.9 God made our ears,    so surely he can hear what is happening!He made our eyes,    so surely he can see you!10 The one who disciplines nations will surely correct you. Maybe you have been saying to yourself “I’ll think about Christianity some day.”  Think about it today.  Turn to Him in repentance, believe in His Son Jesus Christ, and follow Him. English Standard Version. But take heart! I have been studying this book all of my life, and this is the message that I find in it and that I want you to grasp.  God says, “I am who I am.  I am not whoever you want me to be.”  He speaks to us in this book so that you may find Him and know Him and enjoy Him forever. Give proud people the punishment they deserve.3 Lord, how long will the wicked have their fun? That angry punishment was completely spent on Jesus — once for all — on the cross. This doctrine helps. To give an example, David prays in Psalm 69 against “those who hate me without cause” (Psalm 69:4).  It tells you that you have not yet seen the end of the story. And His loving-kindness is over all His works. “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Matthew 5:44, Anyone who has suffered at the hands of another person, as we all have in some way, will hear this and say, “Love him?  Love her?  How is that possible?”.  But if we did that then we would only hear a reflection of our own preferences.  We would always be affirmed, but never challenged.  We would always be comforted, but we would never actually be changed.  Just as a god who is shaped by me will die with me.  Such a god cannot help you, because he or she has no existence apart from you. He will not leave them without help.15 Justice will return and bring fairness. “God is just.  [He will repay those who persecute the church,] with an everlasting destruction…”  2 Thessalonians 1:6,9. They say innocent people are guilty and put them to death. Instead, ask God to help you trust in those who only want great things for you.  God never acts out of vindictiveness.  He always acts with justice. This truth is meant to help someone who’s been wronged, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.  Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord” (Romans 12:18-20).

God, come punish them.2 You are the judge of the whole earth. We have a direct PROMISE from God that He WILL AVENGE US of those who have hurt and wronged us.

Genesis 12:3 - And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 12 Lord, great blessings belong to those you discipline,    to those you teach from your law.13 You help them stay calm when trouble comes.  God will deal with this.  You can leave it to Him. No one stood with me against those who do evil.

God is treating you as sons,” he said ( Hebrews 12:7 ). Question: "Does God punish us when we sin?" The Bible has a word for our own ideas about God—it is “idolatry.”  In ancient times, idols were made from wood, stone or metal. God, my Rock, is my safe place!23 He will punish those evil judges for the bad things they did.

Well what about those that have already been hurt and therefore they hurt others. The context of those last verses has to do with people who are professing believers. Therefore, for those who accept Christ as Lord and Savior, the punishment for sin is no longer upon us. You have to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.  There’s a real relationship here in which you trust that He is the Son of God.  You trust His death on the cross for the forgiveness of your sins, and you trust His resurrection power, that it is sufficient for everything you face in life and death.

It’s often tempting for a preacher to fit the message to what he guesses people will want to hear.  But I am not helped by people who only say what I want to hear.  I am helped by people who “tell it like it is.”  I am helped by those who are willing to confront what I may be hiding from without even knowing it.  And I need to hear what God has to say, especially when it makes me feel uncomfortable.

When the time comes, you can talk with God about rebuilding trust with the person who hurt you as well. You may have wondered, “How can one man bear the sins of many?  How can His hell on the cross remove our everlasting destruction?”  The weight of our sin is measured by the One we offended.  The value of Christ’s sacrifice is measured by the One who is offered.  This is the Son of God!  What He suffered on the cross is able to atone for all our sins forever. The hardest truths can produce the most tender hearts.  If you do not believe this, you will always be trying to even the score.  They brought you down, and you find a certain pleasure in bringing them down.  How do you restrain the desire to even the score?  But God is just, and even though His justice may be hidden now, it will become obvious when Jesus Christ is revealed (1:8).
