10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

A. How long - is a question of pain.

B. It is also a question of faith that God is in control. God, how long before you intervene on behalf of the faithful?

C. There is an expression of understanding that God is the avenger of evil. “I will repay,” says the Lord.

D. Coffman wrote, “For Christians, upon their own behalf, to engage in acts of vengeance is indeed sinful; but for them to pray for God’s vengeance to fall upon their enemies is right, a proposition that is proved by the verse we are studying.”
