Vexation of Spirit

Could VEXATION be pointing to the Great Tribulation and God's Judgment on the Church today? Let's examine.

VEXING SOUL: ELECT TROUBLED BY THE CHURCH IN TRIBULATION?

Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness <766>, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

2Pe 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness <766>, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

Ga 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness <766>,

Col 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Zep 3:1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!

Job 27:2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;

Job 19:2 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?

Ps 109:3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

Ac 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

Jud 16:16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him (Samson) daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;

Ps 6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

Ps 6:3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?

Ps 6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.

Re 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

De 28:20 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.

Ec 2:17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Ec 4:6 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.

Isa 65:14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.

DELIVERED JUST LOT: REDEMPTION OF THE BODY?

2Pe 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

2Pe 2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy <766> conversation of the wicked:

2Pe 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

2Ti 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Lu 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

Lu 17:29 But the same day <2250> that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

Lu 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Mt 24:29 Immediately after {but with} the tribulation of those <1565> days <2250> shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Mr 13:24 But in those <1565> days <2250>, after <3326> {with} that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

Mt 24:22 And except those <1565> days <2250> should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those <1565> days <2250> shall be shortened.

SUMMARY CONCLUSION

Having one’s soul vexed or vexation of spirit seems to point to the oppression of the elect in tribulation and God’s judgment on Babylon. Time when they were subject to the locusts and vexed (oppresed) with the filthy conversation of the wicked (false gospels).
