Vengeance is mine and I will repay, saith the Lord of hosts

Vengeance is mine and I will repay, saith the Lord of hosts.

The true meaning of that saying is this — The Lord of hosts is the principle which governs them. If they are governed by the principles of war, hate and slaughter, those principles will turn again and rend them, for they are the principles of vengeance, or revenge, and nothing that is revengeful can be Christ-like or truly spiritual, and when the war spirit governs a nation, by war, or the same principle, shall it be laid low; and those nations that have warred the most vengefully shall be warred upon with more vengeance than any others and shall be conquered and laid waste, for a great natural law or principle can never work otherwise.
