Of the long-awaited Messiah it was prophesied that when He came He should judge the people with righteousness and the poor with judgment. Holy men of tender compassion, outraged by the inequity of the worlds rulers, prayed, O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
