Luke 21
Have you studied about the “why” of Gods days of vengeance, and who it was toward? I think few have
22..For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
32..Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
Plain english.
Interesting to me that when Jesus stood up in Luke chapter 4, and quoted from
Isaiah 61, he left off this part:
“And the day of vengeance of our God”
Mal. 4: 5“Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the LORD arrives
Paul said the Lord would grant relief to the church in Thess., from those that were afflicting them.
The question is, how did he fulfill his promise while they were alive, to grant them relief from being afflicted?
1 Thess. 1 since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7..and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels 8..in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
How was the bold fulfilled to church in Thess.?
It’s impossible for him to have fulfilled that, if the people died without him fulfilling that promise, to them, back then.
Luke 11
You build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them. 48So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs. 49Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’
50As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world, 51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary.h Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.
He didn’t lie. He took vengeance on them like he said he would.
