I guess it’s just the flesh in me that wants to see evil punished on this earth, knowing that in the end, Jesus will take care of it.

Why on earth do people think that wanting to see justice done on earth, here and now is fleshly????

God *HATES* injustice. There's no reason for us to not hate it and other sin as well.

Besides, it's our misguided notion of justice, wherein the criminal is not punished appropriately for the crime committed, that has gotten us in to our present state of things.

There is NO legitimate reason that justice cannot be done both here on earth by mankind, as God commanded, and God taking care of it on His end as well.

Mankind executing justice here on earth does not preclude God also doing so later.

Both of your responses are spot on. I was wrong and thank you for pointing that out.
