Revenge belongs only to YHWH, and at the end of my study I will give examples of how we can use prayers to influence evil people and dictators to receive their punishment on earth.
Even the first fratricide, in which Cain killed Abel, was revenge in a certain way. Cain was disappointed that Yehowah did not look at his sacrificial offering, but accepted Abel's sacrifice.
Cain avenged the humiliation he experienced on Abel and thus directed his disappointment in his Creator by killing his brother in the most brutal way. He took indirect revenge on his Creator.
Behind all revenge is the Devil, who seduced our ancestors to fall and out from the paradise as revenge for YHWH's expulsion of him from it. He tries that's why to destroy all people.
He knows that our Creator loves people and that He will lead all of us, the chosen ones, even to a higher position than the Devil's had originally had: As His eternal children in heaven.
What happens when people take revenge?
Revenge is a vicious cycle that breaks relationships between people, often completely. Revenge sometimes leads to slander, theft of other people's property, and arson. In work and study life, it is a heavy burden for those students, teachers, employees, and superiors who are the targets of revenge. Revenge can, at worst, lead to bloodshed between different families.
The only way to break such a vicious cycle is to forgive and not continue it any further. It is also wise, because no one benefits from the cycle of revenge, but all those involved lose their peace and often much more. Jealousy, spreading lies about the object of revenge can ruin a person's career and family and lead them to major financial problems, even to suiside.
The desire for revenge can arise from completely insignificant circumstances and grow like a snowball effect, completely out of control. In our society, there are courts that were established by our Creator, as is the national defense institution. If someone has been treated illegally, in Western countries anyone can take their side of the dispute to court if it is a serious matter.
Revenge can grow so uncontrollable that the life of the person who has been the target of revenge and also his family is in danger. Then it is wise to try to break the cycle of revenge in good time for us Christians and other believers in Yeshua. Our life does not depend on mammon and our Creator has promised to help us if we find ourselves in financial distress because of our faith.
What will happen if there is revenge between nations?
Nations history has been a history of wars. If peace has been achieved somewhere, war is already underway elsewhere. Current weapons are for mass destruction and can be used to destroy large cities and their inhabitants. This has already been done when the USA dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the 20th century. In a nuclear war, everyone can die!
Militarily strong nations have been led by dictators possessed by the Devil, and they have even considered warfare as entertainment. Most often, nations that have declared war have calculated in advance that they will win economically, by depriving weaker nations of land and goods and by imposing huge war reparations obligations on the conquered nations.
The most warlike state and the one that robs its surrounding nations is Russia, which is currently waging a war of conquest against Ukraine, the original intention being to conquer it completely. Putin made a big mistake in his assessment, as Ukraine has been able to thwart Russia's intentions for 3 years and 3 months in a war of attrition, and is not going to surrender.
Another area where there has been a struggle for territory is the Middle East. There, Israel has been the target of constant attacks by Arab Muslims. The goal of the Arab Muslims is to destroy the state of Israel and drive all the Israelis living there into the Mediterranean Sea. This is a battle between two religions: Islam versus Judaism. According to the Bible, Israel will eventually win!
How can we, New Covenant believers, help?
We are called peacemakers in the Sermon on the Mount by Adonai Yeshua. It is possible to heal an inflamed situation between two people by inviting them to a peacemaker and helping the disputing parties to reconcile by reasoning to them that reconciliation will benefit both of them. At this point, understanding extinguishes the flames of hatred and revenge, and reconciliation brings peace to the parties.
If peacemaking on an earthly level does not produce results, then our most effective weapon is constant prayer in the Holy Spirit. It truly changes the circumstances that the Devil may have managed to escalate to the extreme. Through prayers, we can bind the spiritual powers of darkness on both sides of the dispute in the name of Yeshua Mashiach. It sets the heavenly powers in motion.
The same method also works when a situation has arisen between nations that is too tense. Prevention is always the best way to extinguish the desire for revenge by praying in the Holy Spirit. If a war has already broken out between nations, the best way is to pray in the Holy Spirit and, in addition, to fast when possible. Fasting combined with prayer brings great victories!
If Christians and believers in Yeshua as Savior declare a national emergency and call all who fear Yehowah and honor his name to general prayer and fasting, then the consequences will be truly miraculous! The good examples of this is the cases mentioned in the books of Esther and Joel. During the time of Esther, all the Israelites did not eat or drink on 3 days and they won!
The Bible tells of several stages of the people of Israel as a lesson for us who are living in other nations. Finland maintained its independence in recent wars primarily through prayers. In the book of Joel, the whole nation was called to fast and pray. As a result, Yehowah had mercy on Israel and did not allow the great destruction that was already coming to befall them! Joel 2:15-20
>>15 Blow a ram's horn in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly. 16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, gather the elders, gather the children, and those who suck the breasts. Let the bridegroom go out of his room, and the bride out of her room. 17 Let the priests, ministers of Yehowah, weep between the porch and the altar; and let them say, Have pity on Your people, O Yehowah, and do not give Your inheritance to shame, for a proverb among those of the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, Where is their Elohim?
18 Then Yehowah will be jealous for His land and have pity on His people. 19 Yea, Yehowah will answer and say to His people, Behold, I will send you grain, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with it. And I will no more make you a curse among the nations. 20 I will drive away the northern army far from you and bring it into a desolate and barren land, bordering on the eastern sea and the northern sea. And a stench will come up from it, a plague will come up. Because it has tried great things.<< (Verse 20 is believed to refer to Russia, the Bering Sea, and the Arctic Ocean)
A prayer from YHWH for vengeance on the wrongdoers!
A prayer from YHWH for vengeance on the wrongdoers!
I have been in over 30 different firms in my life. In one of them was a very high-ranking department manager who was in charge of the factory I worked for. He was chief in many other factories too. He oppressed many his subordinates (but not me) in determining their salaries.
I rebuked him. He became furious and threatened to fire me. The employees managed to elect me as their representative, so the firing was unsuccessful. Then I prayed to YHWH: "Punish that man so that he feels it in his bones and core, so that he does not end up in hell for that all!"
Heaven began to work because of my prayer, and after 3.5 years, that wrong-minded department manager was fired. He left the company crying in publicly. That's when I realized that the punishment he received was really felt in his bones and core. I felt sorry for him.
I also addressed the evil intentions of the CEO of that international company and warned the director of one of its subordinate companies that the CEO of the group was secretly planning to bankrupt the factory. The CEO became furious and tried to fire me, but was unable to do it.
A call to prayer to punish dictators!
Since the day Russia invaded Ukraine, I have prayed that YHWH would punish the Russian leadership so severely that it would be felt in their bones and core and stop their efforts to conquer Ukraine. And that persons in the Russian leadership would not go to hell for that all!
Please, include that prayer in your daily prayers and see later the victory! Just a short petition of no more than two sentences is enough, as YHWH should not be bothered with long prayers. In Heaven has begun to happen due to my and other believers' prayers regarding Ukraine!
It has now been 3 years and almost 3 months since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. I look forward to what will happen in 3.5 years at the latest after that invasion (August 24, 2025) in Russia? The Russians and their allies have killed tens of thousands of their brother people, Ukrainians!
YHWH is a righteous Judge and avenger of blood!
My call to prayer for the punishment of the Russian leadership is based on the following example from the Tanakh: Judges 9:56-57
>>56 And Elohim returned the evil of Abimelech which he did to his father, to kill his seventy brothers. 57 And all the evil of the men of Shechem Elohim turned back on their heads. And the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal came on them.<<
The punishment of ancient Empire of Babylon for its wickedness is also a living example of YHWH punishing even the great nations. Everything that has been written in the Bible before, was written as a warning to people not to live wickedly and not to oppress their weaker ones!
