Luke 4:16ff

Jesus

read from The Book of Isaiah.

He stopped reading at verse 61:2 - and the day of vengeance of our God.

He did not read about the vengeance of God.

Earth-dwellers will see that for themselves.

The Church will not - we will be in Heaven -

saved from the wrath.

Jesus read about His first earthly ministry from Isaiah -

when He returns at Armageddon, He will come to minister vengeance.

 

 

 

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words

The judgements of God are holy and right (Rev. 16:7),

and free from any element of self-gratification or vindictiveness.

In the Divine exercise of judgment there is no element of vindictiveness
