After the seventh trumpet, God resumes His authority and reign on Earth. The fifteenth chapter of the book of Revelation announces this event: “[John] saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete” (Revelation 15:1).
Doesn’t it seem strange that John would describe God’s wrath as “great and marvelous?” Perhaps it is not surprising that a distorted view of God’s wrath has been used for centuries to try to terrify sinners into repenting or at least following the rules. Throughout the scriptures, “the wrath of God” is a phrase used to describe the destructive actions God reluctantly has to take against human beings.
The whole subject of God’s wrath is confusing and problematic because it is hard for us to reconcile God’s wrath with His love. However, records of God’s acts on Earth show us that the meaning of “wrath of God” in the biblical sense is His intervention to prevent the full extent of sin damage.
Join me as I explore the meaning of God’s wrath in the context of the final and permanent eradication of sin.
