Is God’s Wrath Inevitable?

God, in times past, had His prophets write down the events of the future. By knowing His character, we know that all that God has written through the prophets will be accomplished. For, His will cannot be thwarted. Since the events of the future are foretold by the prophets, this would include the Lord’s wrath. We learn from Jeremiah 30:24,

Now, as we enter the latter days, we should consider the significance of the Lord’s anger, as well as His will for us. As Jesus will spew from his mouth those who are neither cold nor hot, so it is written in Zephaniah 1:12,

“it shall come to pass at that time That I will search Jerusalem with lamps, And punish the men Who are settled in complacency, Who say in their heart, ‘The Lord will not do good, Nor will He do evil.’”

Let us not be settled in complacency! Let us instead be impassioned for the Lord! Let us consider all that God has said regarding the future. Let us also understand the inevitability of God’s wrath to come. In our study, we will apply God’s Revelation, which He gave to Jesus Christ, as a looking glass to examine the whole of Scripture, in which the issue of God’s wrath is prevalent.
