What is the wrath of God that will be poured out in the last days? The Bible explains the wrath of God as allowing man to choose his own separation from God. When the Bible mentions the wrath of God, it does not mean that God is vindictive or retaliatory. He allows mankind to go their own way because they choose to do so. The Bible says, "Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them" (Deuteronomy 31:17). Destruction of the wicked comes because, as the Bible says, "For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water" (Jeremiah 2:13). This tells us that the wrath of God is the consequence that come to the one that God leaves to his or her own choice to separate from Him. God does not want to give up any of his children to destruction. He says, "How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboiim? Mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together" (Hosea 11:8). The Lord longs with all His heart to see all mankind eternally saved. The Bible says, "Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?" Ezekiel 33:11. |
