From the garden the serpents deception has been associated with the fruit of the knowledge of sin. The temptation found there was one of judgement, for the serpents goal is that your eyes are opened to sin so that you desire to sit upon the throne showing yourself to be god, judging between good and evil.
If you are to withstand the wiles of the devil during the hour of temptation, then you should not follow the serpents lead, standing behind the throne accusing the brethren of sin day and night. Judge not, lest you be judged...........
Know you not that God has concluded all under sin? Are you tempted of the law to stand in judgement over your brethren? Are you tempted to seek retribution or vengeance through accusation and public condemnation?
If you are to withstand the hour of temptation, then you should be clothed with the breastplate of righteousness so that you can practice righteous judgement: Forgive one another, as I have forgiven you...
Vengeance belongs to the Lord in all His righteous judgements. All we are allowed to judge are the fruits of another whether they be the fruits of the Spirit or fruits of sin. If one feels they are being tempted then they should realize the one who is tempting them is Satan as he works through those who are self righteous.
