God’s Answer to Our Prayer for Justice

Takeaway: A major theme in Revelation has been the cost of discipleship; following Jesus will bring some degree of oppression and persecution. Those who experience this will pray to God for justice. Our passage unveils how God answers those prayers justly by letting sinners experience the fruit of their sin. Yet rather than agreeing with God’s justice or repenting of sin, the wicked often blame God. This is a sad prelude to their final defeat. What type of encouragement does the certainty of God’s judgment bring you?
