having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,

which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,

that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.

But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

God

and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O

Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”

because His

judgments are

true and righteous; for He has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, and He has

avenged the blood of His bond-servants

on her.”

‘I will make My arrows drunk with blood,

And My sword will devour flesh,

With the blood of the slain and the captives,
From the long-haired leaders of the enemy.’

The God who executes vengeance for me,
And subdues peoples under me.

O Lord, God of

vengeance,

God of vengeance,

shine forth!

For behold, the Lord is about to come out from His place
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
And the earth will reveal her bloodshed
And will no longer cover her slain.

For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute,

now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them?
