You opined, "The wrath of God we are saved from, is damnation." The Bible says something different.

The Word of God says the wrath poured out during the Tribulation, in ever increasing severity, is to put an end to sin. During that time it is 144,000 Jews who will be evangelizing the world, not the Ekklesia, the bride of Christ but the chosen Jews. And during that time of Jacob's Trouble, a number so great will get transported to Heaven, a number so great no man in John's day could number them. They will be In Heaven because by faith they washed their garments in the righteous blood of the Lamb of God, so their garment is purified.

They do not eat the blood, they wash their garment in the blood. And no one will be allowed 'There' who has not washed their garment (by faith) in His Righteous blood. THAT TOO is revealed in The Revelation of John, though Jesus gave a story about a wedding crasher without the wedding garment.

For the record, damnation is a state chosen by those who refuse The Grace of God, choose not to believe God's Promises. Damnation is not the wrath of God, it is the separation from Him because He is Righteous and cannot have unbelievers, rebellious, unrighteous beings in His Presence.

Damnation is separation from God, for all eternity, never ending separation. Utter separation from love.

The wrath of God upon the Earth is delineated in The Revelation of John, from chapter 6 to 22. In Daniel 9 and 12 the reason for this period of wrath from God is revealed. It is from THAT wrath that Jesus 'hath delivered us', according tot he Douay-Rheims Bible (1 Thess 1:10).

.... Damnation is not the wrath of God, it is the separation from Him”....

Important too that this is a choice people make for their final destiny....they have a choice to believe and accept the finished work of Jesus taking Gods Judgment on himself for our sins so that we won’t face the Judgements ahead.....and that of eternal separation from Him.
