The Babylonian Empire was incredibly powerful and strong. Its walls were heavily fortified, its warriors well-trained; but the Lord says He will send an army to destroy Babylon because of Israel’s slain. “For the Lord is a God of retribution; He will repay in full.” In Deuteronomy 32:35 the Lord says, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them.” God will not let evil go unpunished. Thought we may not see the retribution that we may think is well-earned, revenge is the Lord’s, and we can know with certainty that God will always be right beside us. It is not right for us to harbor such thoughts –we are told to, “pray for those who persecute us.”
