Matthew 10:23

Be come; to deliver his people and take vengeance on his foes. The primary reference of these words is to Christ's providential coming to destroy the Jewish state and nation by the hand of the Romans. But this foreshadowed his final coming to take vengeance on all the wicked. When greatly opposed in one place, it is not always a mark of wisdom or goodness to stay there; nor is it any evidence of want of courage or fidelity sometimes to flee, even if, in order to do it, a person should, like Paul, be let down by a wall in a basket. 2 Corinthians 11:23.
