Yeshua: The Agent of His Vengeance

Deu. 32:43 (DSS/LXX)

Let all the elohim/angels worship Him…For He will avenge the blood of His sons,
and render vengeance on His enemies…

The book of Hebrews quotes this verse in Heb. 1:6. The Individual whom the angels/elohim bow down before is Yeshua.

He is also the One who YHWH has given the authority to execute judgment, according to Yeshua, Enoch, and John of Patmos:

Joh. 5:26-27

The Father…has also given Him authority to execute judgment because He is the Son of Man.

Eno. 69:27

And He sat on the throne of his glory, and the sum of judgment was given unto the Son of Man.

Rev. 19:15

Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword. And with it, He should strike the nations.

And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of the Almighty.

Eno. 62:2

Open your eyes and lift your horns if you can recognize the Chosen One. And YHWH seated Him on the throne of His glory [cf. Eno. 69:27; Mat. 19:28].

And the word of His mouth slays all the sinners,
And all the unrighteous are destroyed from before His face.

This means that Yeshua is the One whom YHWH uses to take vengeance on those who oppose Him. See also Rom. 14:10; 2 Co. 5:10; 2 Ti. 4:1; 2 Th. 1:7-8; Act. 10:42; 17:31; Mat. 16:27; 25:31-46; Joh. 5:22.

Because vengeance is His (Rom. 12:19 cf. Deu. 32:35; Psa. 94:1; Nah. 1:2), we should not try to take justice into our own hands. Rather, we should repay evil with good. Rom. 12:20-21. See also Lev. 19:18a; Pro. 20:22; 25:21; Mat. 5:39-41, 44; Luk. 6:27-29; 1 Pe. 3:9; & Rom. 12:17.

1 Pe 4:17

For the time is coming for judgment to begin at the house of the Mighty One.

And if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the Good News of the Mighty One?”

We must all appear before the judgment seat of the Messiah, as stated in Romans 14:10, 2 Corinthians 5:10, and Revelation 11:18.

At this time, He will first judge the faithful and the imposters, as stated in Matthew 16:27, 25:31-46, Acts 10:42, 1 Corinthians 3:8, Colossians 3:24-25, 2 Timothy 4:1, Revelation 2:23 and 22:12.

He will then take vengeance on all the disobedient–both the ignorant and the defiant sinners, as stated in 2 Thessalonians 1:8. The apostle Shaul again affirmed this in Acts. 17:31

Because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

Yeshua Himself plainly taught that at the resurrection, all must appear before Him to be judged. This is recorded in John 5:28-29:

Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice.

And come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.”

Shaul explained to the Galatians that one’s eternal fate is determined by how one conducts their time on earth. This is recorded in chapter six, verses seven and eight:

Do not be deceived, the Mighty One is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.”

The apostle also explained this to the Romans, when he said that YAH “will render to each one according to his deeds” (Rom. 2:6; Cf. Deu. 10:17; 2 Ch. 19:7; Job. 34:11; Psa. 62:12; Pro. 24:12; Isa. 3:10-11; Isa. 40:10; Isa. 62:11; Jer. 17:10; Jer. 32:19; Eze. 18:30; Act. 10:34-35; 1 Pe. 1:17). He then went on to say,

…eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with the Mighty One.”
