But if we let the Lord work His saving work we are saved from the wrath, for we are made holy and set on fire with God’s love. And fire never fears the presence of fire. God is love, but He will not change. So it is that love must change us.

I believe that the wrath of God will be expended on the great Day of the Lord. It is mentioned all through the Old Testament.

If we keep going down the path we are headed,I think we are going to find out exactly what the wrath of God is all about.

We are watching the 30 second preview trailer of then main attraction of coming events unfolding before our eyes.

We’re already seeing it.

If you read Romans 1, you’ll see the phrase
“The wrath of God is revealed from heaven as...”

and then a list of what we’re seeing in our society today.

Awesome series of movies. I used them at a Confirmation retreat.

That the wrath of God may not really exist. How would anyone know they were really experiencing it?

We will know, and we will be on our knees begging for God’s mercy.

Have you not read the Book of Revelation?

The Wrath of God, merely is His allowing us to exercise our own free will which facilitates either our denying His existence or providing us with the feeling of being unworthy of and our blocking ourselves from receiving His Unconditional Love.

We do create the perception of our reality and judge it as good or bad. In the higher sense, nothing is good or bad, it just “IS.”

His wrath is His judgment.

Has a correlation to the FEAR of the LORD being the beginning of wisdom.

I do agree with the different expressions of the wrath of God as revealed in the list of scripture references from New and Old Testaments but I really don’t see the full extent of the wrath of God within myself when I sin. I see the consequence of the sin as discipline from a loving Father and as a child of God knowing He loves me (like Adam and Eve who walked with Him)but in that discipline is His lovingkindness.

Using Romans 1 as the ultimate expression of the wrath of God against pagans who reject Him may be His means of showing them His disdain for them (read Proverbs 1:20-33) during their lifetime but God does view history and human participation in corporate sin in a way only He can.

In the “last days” of great sin before the reign of the Messiah, God’s wrath poured out on earth from the bowls is judgment of those on earth who worship the image of the beast and have his mark, for vengeance for the shed blood of the innocent, the saints, and the prophets.

This leads me to ask a question. If we suffer now, sacrifice now, our reward will come while in heaven. THEREFORE, for those who sin and suffer now, is there judgment and the experience of God’s wrath less in hell? Do those on earth who suffer the full wrath of God poured from the bowls suffer less in hell than the rest of the pagans who did not? Just wondering.

How is it possible TO HAVE unbelief in the face of extraordinary complexities of our human BODY?

NOT TO MENTION THE DIVERSITY OF LIFE IN THE WORLD.
There is a seed, I hold in my hand, Plant and water it and with time a seedling GROWS and over the years a huge tree appears! WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?

WHEN OUR BODY IS CUT IT GROWS BACK TOGETHER. how?
THE AMAZING UNDOABLE COMPLEXITY OF OUR PLANET IS STUNNING..

Nothing is too hard for God. Those that do not seek Him or come to know Him are missing faith, and understanding how the world works, Pray to God to come and live in you, as you seek to grow in faith, and sincere truth, and trust in Jesus name, Hallelujah! Amen.
