Justice through law is the topic, today. Also, there is more on all believers being chosen to serve as prophets. A “Yahoo! Answers India” writer using the ID “Gody” (Level 1 with 183 points, a member since 25 September 2013) posted the following first asked at Yahoo Answers United States:
Revenge: Vengeance has been rapid since Cain killed Abel: Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.?
Will God fogegive all those that have done it?
THE BATTLE AXE: Chosen To Serve As Prophets (01/01/2013)—(4.) Because all Christian believers are endowed with special knowledge of divine operations, sacred promises, and eternal purposes there is also a great risk of conflict, disagreement, pride and spiritual confusion within a congregation of believers (some say, the leaven of the Pharisees). False prophets, heretics and liars may present themselves; however, they are easily detected as showing a different nature and having goals and objectives that do not edify, or nourish the full body. In addition, then, to balance, humility, longsuffering, patience, and stability, believers acquire a love for decorum and order as well as discernment, flexibility, self-discipline, and restraint. Specific commandments are recorded to ensure that sacred practice may continue as fragrant and fruitful. For those in the church, today, proper application, comprehension and skill employing sacred gifts must be developed through gradual and repeated operations of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, none should immediately assume that their gifts are mature and perfected, or account themselves “holier” than others. To contain a gift only indicates that one is fit to be used by GOD, not that they independently possess authority, power and sovereign majesty. (See Luke 12: 1-3, James 1: 16-18, 1st Corinthians 12: 27-29, 1st Corinthians 14: 29-33 and 37-40, 1st Timothy 3: 14-16 and 1st John 4: 5-7, KJV.)
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God. (Ecclesiastes 8: 11-13, KJV)

“Gody”, many Christian believers now hold a peculiar idea of what is meant by “revenge” and “vengeance”. Here are a few points that might help make it clearer for your readers:
(1.) Carried out through the mechanism of the law, revenge and vengeance are called “justice”. The many sacred provisions for godly justice include warning and admonition; atonement; correction and demonstration (i.e., instruction as to what one should do to avoid repeating errors they have already committed); death; forbearance; forgiveness; judgment (we say, truth-finding); healing; mercy; penance; perdition; punishment; and rebirth in baptism.
(2.) Divine judgment is best understood as a further aspect of revelation, and the various sacred operations used to make the action and presence of divinity known to created beings and living creatures. As such, judgment is always, only a blessing, for judgment resolves all conflicts, settles every dispute, and restores peace through law. Even more than Creation or Salvation, judgment provides the clearest view of divine righteousness, and dispels spiritual confusion.
There is far more to be said, properly shared, and understood as true spirit content from GOD. (For example, (3.) Peace is never the outcome of war; peace only comes by genuine judgment. Just as war cannot destroy all life; imbalance, imperfection, injustice, and sin are not sufficient to destroy divine existence. These elements clearly generate arbitrary and undirected change of divine order (we say, disaster, evil, upheaval). Because many think to establish justice as a personal expression apart from law, these same elements support presumption (taking authority to oneself without permission), rebellion, and violence. Elimination of sin cannot be accomplished relying only upon finite intellect, logic, reason, and science among mortal men, nor among angels—those neither mortal nor immortal.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Grow in grace.
GOD has said: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2nd Chronicles 7: 14, KJV)
