Verses from Isaiah

却要以公义审判贫穷人,以正直判断世上的谦卑人,以口中的杖击打世界,以嘴里的气杀戮恶人。

在我圣山的遍处,这一切都不伤人,不害物;因为认识耶和华的知识要充满遍地,好像水充满洋海一般。(以赛亚书 11:4, 9)

but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.

They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. (Isaiah 11:4, 9)

The Lord will establish this safe environment when He restores the world with His wisdom, might, and knowledge. At that time, He will judge the world with righteousness and justice (11:4). And everyone will acknowledge His greatness: “The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord” (11:9).

We live in a broken world. Unfairness and discord, fear and pain are a very real part of our daily lives. But one day God will change everything, and “the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings” (Mal. 4:2). Then Jesus will rule the world in righteousness.

Leave final justice in the hands of a just God.
