It means that no matter what our present circumstances may look like in the moment, we are to trust in God and remember that He rules over all, He is watching, and He will judge rightly (cf. Gen 18:25; John 8:16; Rev 19:2).
Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written: “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord.
What does it mean when God says that He will repay, as in Deuteronomy 32:35 and Romans 12:19? Chapter 51 in the book of the prophet Jeremiah provides some illumination. Jeremiah 51 culminates an extended judgment oracle aimed against Babylon during the times following the fall of Judah (i.e. the Southern Kingdom of Israel) to that dominating empire (chronicled in brief again in the next—and concluding—chapter of Jeremiah, chapter 52). As that conclusion reminds the reader, God used the trauma of their Babylonian exile to discipline His people (an act of His love [cf. Jer 30:11; Prov 3:12; Ps 94:12; 118:18; Heb 12:5-11]). The LORD God of Recompense (YHWH EL GEMUWLAH in Jer 51:65) used Babylon’s imperial siege against Jerusalem to repay Judah’s leaders with distress and destruction in response to all their evil done in the full view of His own eyes (Jer 52:2-4).
Numbers 14:18 reminds us that “The LORD is slow to anger & abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity & transgression, but He will by no means let the guilty go unpunished…” Therefore, we should “Seek the LORD while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near; let the wicked forsake their way, and the unrighteous one his thoughts; let them return to the LORD, that He may have compassion on them, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon” (Isaiah 55:6-7). Jesus says in Matthew 10:32-33, “everyone who acknowledges Me before others, I also will acknowledge before My Father who is in heaven, but whoever denies Me before people, I also will deny before My Father who is in heaven” (cf. also Luke 12:8-9). And this same Jesus who is indeed the Lord of Recompense says, *“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing My recompense with Me, to repay each one for what they have done,” and **“whoever comes to Me I will never cast out.”
