How about we start with the following description of God's wrath:
Revelation 16:1-21
(1) And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels,
Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
(2) And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there
fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the
beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
(3) And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as
the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
(4) And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of
waters; and they became blood.
(5) And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord,
which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
(6) For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given
them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
(7) And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty,
true and righteous are thy judgments.
(8) And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was
given unto him to scorch men with fire.
(9) And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God,
which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him
glory.
(10) And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and
his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
(11) And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their
sores, and repented not of their deeds.
(12) And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates;
and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east
might be prepared.
(13) And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the
dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false
prophet.
(14) For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth
unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the
battle of that great day of God Almighty.
(15) Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his
garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
(16) And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue
Armageddon.
(17) And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came
a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is
done.
(18) And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a
great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty
an earthquake, and so great.
(19) And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the
nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto
her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
(20) And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
(21) And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about
the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the
hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
Do you find yourself in agreement with this description of God's wrath? Do
you say, "you are righteous Lord for judging this way" or are you troubled
by this description of God? Do you try to find ways to explain it away?
Peace be with you. David Miller.
