| 0:00.0 | June 30, heaven's relief in the coming wrath. God considers it just to repay with affliction those |
| 0:09.9 | who afflict you and to grant relief to you who are afflicted. When the Lord Jesus is revealed |
| 0:16.9 | from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God |
| 0:23.4 | and all those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus, 2 Thessalonians 1, 6-8. |
| 0:30.6 | There will come a time when the patience of God is over, when God has seen His people suffer |
| 0:36.9 | for the allotted time and the appointed number of martyrs is complete, Revelation 6-11, then |
| 0:44.2 | adjust and holy vengeance will come from heaven. Notice that God's vengeance on those who have |
| 0:50.1 | afflicted His people is experienced by us as relief. God considers it just to repay with |
| 0:57.6 | affliction those who afflict you and to grant relief to you who are afflicted. In other words, |
| 1:04.8 | the judgment on those who afflict is a form of grace toward us. Perhaps the most remarkable |

| 1:28.6 | apostles and prophets for God has given judgment for you against her, Revelation 18-20. |
| 1:35.9 | Then a great multitude is heard saying, hallelujah, salvation and glory and power belong to our God |
| 1:44.8 | for His judgments are true and just, for He has judged the great prostitute who corrupted |
| 1:50.8 | the earth with her immorality and has avenged on her the blood of His servants, Revelation 19-1 and 2. |
| 1:59.5 | When God's patience has run its long-suffering course and this age is over and judgment comes on |
| 2:07.3 | the enemies of God's people, the saints will not disapprove of God's justice. This means that |
| 2:15.2 | the final destruction of the unrepentant will not be experienced as a misery for God's people. |
| 2:22.9 | The unwillingness of others to repent will not hold the affections of the saints hostage. |
| 2:30.9 | Hell will not be able to blackmail heaven into misery. God's judgment will be approved |
| 2:39.2 | and the saints will experience the vindication of truth as a great grace. |
