"He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still. And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.” Revelation 22.11-12Patience is not a virtue of all, but it is part of the character of the Almighty. When we see the social and spiritual injustices running at the speed of sound we ask ourselves: how long Lord? His apocalyptic answer comforts the righteous and warns the unrighteous: I AM COMING QUICKLY...

The righteous teach
"Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness; let him rebuke me—that is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it, for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers." Psalm 141.5
A righteous person teaches and those who are also righteous learn. For them, although the learning process may be painful or feel like an act of injustice, they know it is for their own good and accept it with gratitude.
But it is not so with the wicked, that is, those who are born of the flesh. They feel it as injustice, complain, get hurt, angry, do not accept it and even want revenge. But it is only natural, after all, the darkness hates the works of the light.

What a story!
"This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God." Genesis 6.9The story of the real men of God is summed up in by justice and integrity. Noah, Abraham, Job, Daniel and many others were great before the Almighty as they expressed His image, the image of justice in a world of injustice.

Taking Christian faith lightly
"The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked..." Nahum 1.3
That word is addressed to those who are take the Christian faith lightly. Especially for those who, claiming that God is love, are deliberately living in sin, as if the love of God would make Him tolerate sin or injustice.
The LORD is slow to anger and great in mercy and love, but never clears the guilty.

Perfect and Just Judge
"God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day." Psalms 7.11
Right or wrong, good or bad, true or false, fake or original, sincere or feigned; pure or impure, good or evil, holy or unholy, perfect or imperfect; clean or dirty; fidelity or infidelity, correct or incorrect, with character or without character, moral or immoral.
These adjectives show the huge difference between justice and injustice.
If us, who are full of faults, are able to hate the works of darkness, the injustice, imagine the Lord, the Righteous and Perfect Judge.
Because of this, the rebels, disobedient and deceitful will not inhabit eternity with Him

The zeal of God
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness." Romans 1.18In His Infinite Greatness, God makes sure that no injustice go unpunished. His anger is kindled against all forms of injustice that, in other words, are the works of the flesh: "...adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatians 5.19-21

Purified faith
"In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ" 1 Peter 1.6-7Persecution, infamy, injustice, misunderstanding and everything else that we suffer because of our faith in Jesus are part of our trials. They may feel cruel and unjust, but it matures faith for salvation of the soul. Were it not so, surely the Spirit of God would not allow us to go through it.

BITTER
"Even today my complaint is bitter, my hand is listless because of my groaning." Job 23.2The righteous are men of revolt. When injustice reaches it's limit, he takes action and calls out to the Righteous Judge because he is certain that He will answer. His faith is violent when it comes to taking possession of what is rightfully his.

Divine Indignation
"God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every day." Psalm 7.11
One of God's divine indignations is to see injustice done by the children of the devil against His children. What kind of father would be conformed to see his own son be bullied by the neighbor's son?

God's Wrath
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness..."Romans 1:18
The unrighteous shouldn't be deceived into thinking that God's Divine compassion will disregard His justice. He has seen men's effort into hiding His existence. Sooner or later, His wrath will be revealed.

Not conformed
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Romans 12.2
Noone in their good conscience revolts for nothing. The spirit of revolt also carries anger. Anger against sin; the sin that bears injustices and evil doings. Those who are of God are not conformed with this world. Instead, they aspire discipline, order, and justice. That's the Kingdom of God.

Tears of Injustice
"You number my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle; are they not in Your book?"Psalms 56:8
God sees injustices suffered because of His Name and He certainly doesn't let them be unpunished. Sooner or later, His servants will reap the fruits of perseverance.

Even more blessed
"Jesus said, "So, you believe because you've seen with your own eyes. Even better blessings are in store for those who believe without seeing."John 20:29
No one who was benefited from the physical ministry of the Lord Jesus, not even the disciples and apostles, were as blessed as those who have never heard or seen Him. This helps us endure all problems, persecutions, anguish, injustices, moreover, the hell that we face down here. Thank God!
