There's nothing special about that sort of justice. Hardly "Jesus Himself ruling with an iron rod" levels.
Let's use an example from the Left Behind series, which I think illustrates my point perfectly. It's been a while since I've read the series, but the scene is still fairly vivid in my...
So, again, you're basically just saying "Garden Tomb" and "Golgotha" (which are mere tens of meters away from each other), are NOT the site where Christ was crucified, buried, and rose, yes?
