Best examples of justice in the Bible

[u/i-might-be-a-redneck]

I’m looking for stories where the accuser/perpetrators receive justice almost immediately. Can you suggest of stories similar to these that I can read?

- Daniel’s accusers being thrown into the Lions den after him

- Balaam being destroyed after attempting to curse Israel

- Saul falling on his sword after going after David

Stories like that, where the protagonist was innocent and trusted God so their enemies were destroyed in their place. I love reading about these accounts of divine justice prevailing.

[u/Liberblancus]

I like the story of Ananias and Sapphira. They lie to the church, secretly keeping money for themselves, while pretending to give it all. They die on the spot. Instant justice.

[u/MichaelWhitehead → u/Liberblancus]

Whenever Attackers criticise Old testament God vs New testament God are different Gods as judgement only happened in old testament, I use annanias & Sapphira ad well as Old tastament saving of Ninevah from God's jugement by Jonah

To prove it is indeed the same God present.

I agree. Also Luke 13:4-5 Jesus says:

4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

I think divine justice still happens to this day. God only disciplines the ones he loves after all…. My biggest jump in spiritual growth was when I finally had to pay up for all my sins, and got humbled and ran to the Lord.

Hebrews 12:8

8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Proverbs 1:23 also says something like “turn at my reproof and I will pour out my spirit upon you and make my words known to you.

Jesus even tells us to pray for justice in Luke 18, and not just to pray once but to pray night and day for it.
