Overview - Vengeance Is Mine, I Will Repay, Says The Lord. Acts 12:21-24.
In our message today we study a section of scripture in which we see an angel of God, so God really, strike king Herod because he accepts the adoration of the people calling him a god.
So yes and absolutely yes, God strikes king Herod down for accepting the adoration that was due to God and God alone, but, was his acceptance of the people’s adoration the only reason that God strikes him and kills him?
I don’t believe so, I believe there was so much more to why God killed Herod. I believe that God set up, or saw an occasion to repay Herod for his previous wickedness and evil that he brought against Christ’s church.
Shortly before this section, even in Acts 12, Herod kills one of the original apostles, James, then turns his attention to Peter, and imprisons him like a harden criminal, intending to kill him, but Peter’s fellow Christians take a stand against satan and pray, God heading their prayers, delivers Peter from the desire of Herod.
And, with this in mind, plus with the title of our message in mind, “Vengeance is Mind, I will repay, says the Lord”, I see God not letting Herod get away with what he did to Christ’s church, and I see God repaying Herod for His evil, because God is a man of His Word.
I speak about this concept and much more in this message titled, “Vengeance Is Mine, I Will Repay, Says The Lord”, so come and take a listen and learn more about the ways of God.
May the Lord bless you as you diligently seek Him
