The Fiery Wrath of God

                                 Exodus 40:38 (KJB)

God guided the Israelites with a cloud in the daytime and by a fire at night. God also used His fire as a wall of protection for His people against the Egyptian army. Exodus 19:20-21 (KJB). God also caused His fire to appear over the heads of His believers on the day of Pentecost to show His Church that He would always protect them. Acts 2:2-3 (KJB).

God uses His fiery wrath against evil in two ways: to temporarily punish His people who go wrong and to warn them not to go wrong, but also to utterly destroy all sin and evil. I John 3:8 (KJB). God creates every human in His image which means He creates them to be good and to be creative. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31 (KJB). But when Adam sinned, the Devil gained the right to inject spiritual death into the lives of every human. Spiritual death causes sin and evil, and sin and evil causes spiritual death. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15; Romans 5:12 (KJB). But God can never lose anything He has ever created, and therefore, God must have devised a plan to save every living and good human that He ever creates from sin, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 15:20-28; Romans 11:36; I Timothy 4:10; II Timothy 1:10; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Jesus promised that, "Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." Matthew 15:13 (KJB). Jesus' promise can only mean that His Father will save everything that He has planted, such as the good natures of all humans, and He will utterly destroy everything that the Devil has planted, such as spiritual death in the lives of every good human. John 12:31-32; I John 3:8 (KJB).

God used His fiery wrath at Mount Sinai to warn His people that He would punish them for their sins of trying to make themselves righteous enough to be acceptable to God. He warned them that they would not be able to keep His Ten Commandments or any other of His commandments. He had offered them His salvation by His grace, but they had refused it. Exodus 19:1-25 (KJB).

When Korah, Dathan, and Abiram and 250 others rebelled against Moses and the Lord, the Lord destroyed them with His fiery wrath and opened the earth to swallow them up, and they descended into the pits of Hell. God severely punished them, but He did not say that He would destroy their lives forever. Numbers 16:1-40 (KJB). In fact, the Bible nowhere ever states that God will ever utterly destroy any human life that He ever creates. Luke 20:38 (KJB). Jesus did relate that the "worms" of living humans would be in the lake of fire forever, but not the living humans themselves. Mark 9:43-50 (KJB). King David prophesied that Christ would become a "worm" on the cross which meant He would bear all of the sins, evil, and spiritual deaths of all living humans as He hung on the cross. Psalm 22:6 (KJB). The word "worm" in the Bible often symbolizes the spiritual deaths of humans. Isaiah 66:24 (KJB). Because God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail, then Christ will appear to all of His living humans confined to the regions of death, including the 250 rebels, and He will cause them all to repent and return to faith in Christ as the Lamb of God their Savior so that He can save their lives forever with His mercy that endures forever, and He will use His fiery wrath to separate their dead and evil natures from their lives so that He can cast their dead and evil natures into the lake of fire, and He will save their lives for Him to recreate to live on His recreated earth forever. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8; Psalm 100:5; Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).
