Eye for an Eye
Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
The vengeance people should be seeking is against the wicked thoughts and imaginations of ones own hearts which causes them to go astray. Satan is the only enemy within us all, and any struggle outside of ourselves means we're have already lost the battle within ourselves. Because Satan works through all people, and that means they're victims of their own unruly hearts also.
John 2:24-25 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
Know what is in yourselves, and then you'll know what is in all men, then you'd need not judge them according to the flesh, but on the state of their blind minds.
Jeremiah 16:12 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:
John 2:24-25 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
Know what is in yourselves, and then you'll know what is in all men, then you'd need not judge them according to the flesh, but on the state of their blind minds.
Jeremiah 16:12 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:
The Armour of
God that one must put on, along with the helmet of Salvation, is the knowledge of righteousness. That is the sword of vengeance a person should weld against the works of the soul.
Psalm 55:21-22 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
The sword which is God’s word, which pierces the soul to make its thoughts and intentions known, and when known then they can be fought against.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
A sword to slay that dragon in the sea, that crooked serpent that sit upon the minds of all men.
Isaiah 27:1 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Sea is a parable for the collective minds of men, and within us all as said before is our soul, Satan, who has us walking the course of his world, eating from its tree of knowledge of good and evil, instead of the path of the righteous, and eating from the tree of life.
Luke 2:35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
People use their belief in God to curse and oppress others. The self-righteous zeal of the converted. That doesn't only just refer to religious people either. All Earthly ideologies, political affiliations, cults, religions, even sports teams can lead a man to commit also sorts deeds, in support of their teams, belief, God, deity, nationality, ethnic group, monarch, race, family. etc. All earthly things with earthly results. They are not of the God in Heaven, these things are of the God of this world, who blinds our minds from the truth of all things, by keeping us hooked and focused on the things of his world, and its works, and the works of the heart.

Luke 21:34-36 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
The eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth mentality, rules the world currently, that wisdom of Solomon, and thus the world suffers the consequences of that mentality. In short, people reap what they sow. A snare means being lured into a trap that is desirable to the unwitting mind, and that is this world.
Jeremiah 9:19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.
And because of that, dwelling in the works of our evil hearts, we've forsaken our own land, which is of the spirit, and we have allowed to be taken with violence.
Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Again, as said, the Kingdom of Heaven comes not with observation, it is within, and so we must reclaim our land, with the sword, the word of God, so that we can fight against those who persecute those who are quiet in the land.
.
Psalm 35:20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
Within our own land, which is the spirit within, we have made league with the thoughts and wicked imaginings of the heart. We have turned away from righteousness, and in short are in league with the devil, and so our kingdom has been taken with violence, and the works of the soul become thorns in our sides, which can manifest as addictions, bad habits, and many of the mental afflictions man suffers from this day.
Job 30:16 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
So if we want to be free from the works of the soul, we must turn to the Father and do his works in the spirit, which will breed righteousness, destroying the works of our hearts.
2 Chronicles 20:9 If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.
Spiritually, we're like the Jewish people who dwelt in the land of their enemies, and we need to be freed so that we can return to the land of our origin. Because while we're in the land of our enemy, doing its works and lusts, we committed adultery against our own spirit, becoming slaves instead of the master of our own souls.
Matthew 5:27-30 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
As Jesus when he was on the Earth cast out many devils from out of the minds of men, so must we turn to the Father in his Kingdom, and ask him to cast out the violence of our minds. All the things that offend us, not of other people, but of those things within our hearts that can darken us as a whole, since we're in league with them currently.
Judges 2:2-3 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this? Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
And this world, this place of judgement is the trap, which is why Jesus and his disciples said many times not to love this world.
1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Jeremiah 9:19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.
And because of that, dwelling in the works of our evil hearts, we've forsaken our own land, which is of the spirit, and we have allowed to be taken with violence.
Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

All the things that offend us, not of other people, but of those things within our hearts that can darken us as a whole, since we're in league with them currently.
Judges 2:2-3 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this? Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
And this world, this place of judgement is the trap, which is why Jesus and his disciples said many times not to love this world.
1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
You cannot serve God and mammon, as made plain by Jesus, one's eye (mind) the spirit needs to be singly focused on the spirit, otherwise the pollution's of the world will knock you off course, and like others will be comparing earthly things with the spiritual, and err in your understanding of things.
1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Keep in mind prophesy is all about the spirit, and not the Earth like how most people think, however it works through the Earth, using the events of the time to explain the future things of the spirit, which is why the following says the Law is spiritual, but yet it is of the flesh, the first covenant.
Romans 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
But, it is the spirit that leads to salvation, not earthly events and deeds. Though the prophets did correctly predict events of their times, those events were merely a vehicle to pass on knowledge of the spirit, which cannot be discerned by the natural man.
2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
It is why the scriptures were written by the Prophets, not as a book, but as a spiritual Jigsaw, where revelation from the Father slowly reveals knowledge of the old to our minds which helps bring about the new.
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
An example below is people taking this literally, and thinking the dead are quite literally going to rise up from their graves, unaware that the grave is the body, where our spirit is held captive and blind to the reality of the Father, in spirit. Ezekiel 37:12 to be blunt, means, I will raise up your spirits, and bring it back to Heaven, since Israel is a earthly parable for Heaven, similar to how the burden of Egypt means it is an earthly parable for Hell, which is the whole of this world that needs to be overcome. The Earth.
Ezekiel 37:12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
This is Satan's world, and his job is to keep you here, focused on his world, and if that means worshipping him as God, then that is what it will be, because people own god is their own hearts, of whom all have their conversation with in the world.
Hosea 12:5-7 Even the Lord God of hosts; the Lord is his memorial. Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually. He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
Without the Father’s armour, his revelations which the gates of hell can't prevail against, the iniquity in the world, through the heart is free to pollute your spirit. So keep watch always, resist the devil and his temptations and he shall flee from you. He wants us to hate, fight, and corrupt others through his doctrines, politics and all earthly devices of his, and if he can, he will drag you back into old ways of the flesh, serving his lusts, the lusts of your own hearts.
2 Peter 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
He wants us to serve his cause, and action its knowledge of good and evil, unknowingly.
Matthew 24: And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
This is Satan's world, where an eye for an eye is law, and where we all reap what we sow, blissfully unaware that we suffer a consequence for our ignorance in unrighteousness. We exalt ourselves and marvel when we are brought low. We deceive others and are incredulous when we are deceived ourselves. We expect kindness, when we never give it nor are deserving of it ourselves. We think our inner thoughts have no barring on anything. Ignorant of the fact that as we think, so do we become. We make evil our friend, then we claim to be good people, and none are good one this Earth, none. Reading the below, think in none human terms but with the spirit, and consider that the following is talking about the contents of your own soul, your heart, your character, when compared to your blinded spirit, which when fully renewed is righteous and pure.
Proverbs 23:6-8 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
A proverb above about reaping what you sow, and what people so is through the abundance of their hearts.

A proverb above about reaping what you sow, and what people so is through the abundance of their hearts.
Matthew 9:4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
Because, by design they're evil from their youth, they were created by something that was crooked.
John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
But we all have the wicked one within us, the children of disobedience, that unseen force called the Prince of the power of the air.
Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Since Jesus overcame the world, and the prince of it, the soul no longer ruled over him, and when his flesh was crucified and died he was raised up in spirit back into life. Out of the corruption of the flesh, into incorruption.
1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
That is the way, the example we must all follow, and if the Prince of the World has something in us, we cannot be raised up. And only the Father in Heaven can remove his influence by renewing our minds, which transforms us out of its influence.
Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
The war against our own heart is the Great Tribulation, the battle of Armageddon, if we're fighting anything outside of ourselves, then we have already lost, and that law that wars against the mind. Again, earthly interpretation of things that should be spiritually discerned, will lead to erroneous understanding, which for the past 2000 years has lead to many different branches of religion created. And consider this, there is only one branch, and that branch pointed to Heaven.
Isaiah 11:1-3 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
As said before, the spirit of the Lord is the same as the spirit of Jesus, only the manner of the mind has changed, because it had to be born into the sinful flesh to be corrected, and regenerated by the Father, all the while preaching the good news from the Father.
Habakkuk 1:11-12 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god. Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
While in the Earth he knew what he did, and he did no evil.
Isaiah 7:15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
We in short, do not, even though we think we do. None reading this for example are even capable of sitting in the silence of their mind for even an hour, if that. That's how you know you don't have control of your mind, and that the soul runs rampant in you. You are its product, and Satan sifts people like wheat. He is in front of you.
Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
And boy, hasn't his raiment be parted, and hasn't his truth because cast aside for many lies, which spring forth from many people, with many hundreds of religions and denominations created in his name, that worship in vain.
Matthew 15:8-10 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
You might want to consider how creepy it is worshipping a man the way Christians do, who doesn't want your praise, nor your songs in a church, and who tells you to turn to God, the Father within in spirit. All the singing and dancing and clapping hands, and praising Jesus's are not going to help you. The Father's revelations, that rock that cannot be broken can.
Matthew 7:21-24 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Lip service to God or Jesus or anyone else doesn't cleanse the unrighteousness out of your defiled spirits, turning to the Father and receiving his revelations which renews and transforms your mind does that. Of course, people love to deceive themselves into thinking that their mere earthly belief will save them. Because of that strong delusion that makes them believe the lie.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
So, if you're not ready for the Father, you'll be kept away, and the religious are kept far away. No place in the Kingdom for such people. Heaven doesn't want spirits who are so attached to the flesh, to the point that they would fight, kill, argue, debate with others over their idea of truth and God. We don't fight for God, we do as asked, we do his will, which is to do good, and a large part of that is to preach that which is good.
Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
If you want to know God, come and seek him. If you love the world, and like it here, even to the point of risking coming back into a worse condition of the flesh, then carry on as you are. You won't be wished or prayed out of here, nor will any earthly doctrine save you, or even bring you close to salvation, no matter how strongly you believe, or what church you go to. You will simply be kept away.
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Funny how people can believe a man walked on water, and yet cannot fathom how a spirit is raised up out of the flesh into Heaven. Keep in mind, it can also be put back, if it is not fit for Heaven, similar to how we were cast out in the first place.
Matthew 5:25-27 Agree (Understand) with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
The adversary is Satan, the judge is our own souls, the contents within them, the wicked thoughts and imaginations that we have, they which cause us to reap what we sow, and we sow its works. That law is the officer, and this earth is the prison, where we reap the rewards of the contents of our souls that ruled us before..
Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
