The Doctrine of the wrath of God
In Revelation Rev. 6.
This is one of the critical doctrines of the Bible:
The Doctrine of the wrath of God. The wrath
of God is part of God’s absolute justice.
No sin can go unpunished with God’s absolute holiness and justice. So, even
though there may be little or no evident response from God for most of the
sins being poured out by fallen and sinful humans, God’s justice has kept
track of every sin ever sinned against the Infinite, All-Knowing God Almighty.
But a moment is coming when the river of humanity’s sins, piling up behind
the dam of God’s patience, will reach the limit, and the righteous, infinite,
just wrath of Almighty God bursts forth.
Wrath is one of God’s eight moral attributes, described in the Bible.
Here is a list that I want to have studies about.
Grudem’s Systematic Theology:
Wrath: One of God’s Moral Attributes
The Moral Attributes of God may be described as:
1. Goodness;
2. Love;
3. Mercy (Grace, Patience);
4. Holiness;
5. Peace (or Order);
6. Righteousness (or Justice);
7. Jealousy; and
8. Wrath. The most vivid illustration of that final moral attribute is
where we have arrived in Rev. 6.
God’s wrath is not only one of His attributes; this wrath He has is one of the major
doctrines in the Bible.
In the Old Testament, more than twenty words refer to God’s wrath.
(Other, very different words relate to human anger.)
There are nearly six hundred essential passages on the subject.
These passages are not isolated or unrelated, as if they had been added to the Old Testament
at some later date by a particularly gloomy redactor.
They are essential and are integrated with the most important themes and events of Scripture.
The first time God’s wrath appears in Revelation is in Revelation 6.
God intensely hates sin, and in Revelation 6, we are introduced to the long-awaited
“Day of the Lord” and the pouring out of the stored-up wrath.
Revelation
Chapter 6
1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
“Only one life to live and soon is past
Only what’s done for Christ will last!”
Hoping to make the time I have left count for the glory of God.
