19. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay saith the Lord.
20. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world rulers, of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians 6:12
It is said in Egyptian literature that the repentant person would walk with a vessel of some sort full of hot coals symbolizing their repentance, thus the analogy of heaping hot coals on the enemies head.
Satan is the ruler of this world for now. He has his own set up over cities and countries and leaders until Jesus comes back and takes it from him. We will go into that later.
