59. Desire on our Enemies
To want to see our "desire on our enemies"
is NOT wanting their
salvation,
it is ALWAYS wanting their destruction (as long as they are in
their natural state, i.e. enemies of God). Of course it is not
sin to cry to God to regenerate them, but we must acquiesce with
God's decision about this, not complain that "God got it
wrong" by not saving them and throwing them into hell (which is just
what all of us deserve anyway):
Psalm 54:7 - "For he hath delivered me out of all trouble:
and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine
enemies."
Psalm 58:10 - "The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God
shall
let me see my desire upon mine enemies."
Psalm 92:11 - "Mine eye also shall see my desire on
mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my
desire
of the wicked that rise up against me."
Psalm 112:8 - "His heart is established, he shall
not
be afraid, until he see his desire upon his
enemies."
Psalm 118:7 - "The LORD taketh my part with them that help
me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that
hate
me."
We should rejoice over the
destruction
of our enemies:
Revelation 18:20 - "Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye
holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her."
