Luke 19:27

27. Mine enemies Vengeance upon enemies of the opposite party was anciently of the most terrible kind, when some banished prince or political leader was restored to power. Sylla, the Roman dictator, ordered a general massacre on his return from exile. And in modern times, restorations like those of Charles II. and Louis XVIII. resulted in severe executions and retributions. But divine justice may be justly more terrible than the most terrible of human vengeance. We refer the entire application of this parable to the final judgment. It may indeed be made to suit the destruction of Jerusalem, or any other judgment in history, just so far as such judgment is analogous. But such a suiting of the parable to their cases is simply transferring, not interpreting the meaning.
