The Fiery Wrath of God

                              Psalm 140:10 KJB

In this Psalm, king David accurately describes humans who have given their lives to the practice of evil. King David wanted God to cast them into a burning Hell and never resurrect them. Psalm 140:10 (KJB). King David was right that one day God will cast all the dead and evil natures of all humans, who did not become saved by grace, into an eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). King David forgot that in his own life, he had at times practiced evil, but he knew how to repent and get right with God. David had a good nature that made him capable of repentance. Psalm 51:9-10 (KJB). All humans have a good and living nature that makes them capable of repentance. David had ignored God's teaching in Genesis that He creates every human in His image with a good and living nature. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:26-27 (KJB). That good and living nature makes all humans capable of repentance and faith, and God will make certain that, sooner or later, all humans will repent and return to faith in Christ as their Savior. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). But toward the end of this Psalm, king David seemed to be reminded by the Holy Spirit that God knows the good and living natures of all of His living humans, and He will save them all. Psalm 140:12-13 (KJB). David's reference to the "right of the poor" reminds one of Jesus' teachings: "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven." Matthew 5:3 (KJB).  

Total evil hates God and is incapable of repentance. Matthew 12:31-32 (KJB). If God ever casts any of His living humans that He creates and loves into an eternal lake of fire, He could only do so if they had become totally evil and demonic. Since all humans are alive in God's sight, then that can never happen. Luke 20:38 (KJB). God can never cast any of His living humans into an eternal lake of fire because they all are created in His image, and he would lose a part of His own goodness to eternal evil. But God knows how to cause them all to repent and return to faith in Him. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). God gives to every human a set of good works that He expects them to do. Isaiah 26:12 (KJB). Most humans do only a part of them, which is sinful, but what happens to those good works that they do if they were to become totally evil? They would be meaningless. God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). In the end of the world, Christ will visit all of His living humans "on the earth, and under the earth," and He will cause them all to repent and return to faith in Him as their Savior so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to separate their repentant, good and living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can save and recreate their good and living natures with new bodies to live forever on His recreated earth, and He will cast their dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; Psalm 75:3; Philippians 2:9-11; John 5:28-29; John 11:25-26; Psalm 36:6 (KJB).  

The Fiery Wrath of God

                                Psalm 118:12 KJB

King David praised the Lord because the Lord gave him victory over all his enemies and his people's enemies. In his time, king David had the best armies, and so he seldom lost a battle. King David gave credit to God for his victories over his enemies. Over the centuries, many nations have been used by the Devil in their attempts to utterly destroy the Jewish people because evil desires to put out the light of God's Word forever. Ten tribes of the Israelites were destroyed by the Devil's armies because they turned to idol worship. But God preserved the tribes of Judah and Benjamin because a remnant faithful to God has always been there. 

God caused David to burn the idols of his and God's enemies so that he could gain a complete victory over them. Psalm 118:12; II Samuel 5:21 (KJB). Just as God uses His fiery wrath against evil, He allows His servants to use their own fiery wrath against their enemies. It is quite significant that king David used the word "thorns" to describe worthless evil that needs to be burned with fire. All through the Bible, God uses the words "thorns," "chaff," "tares," and similar words to describe how worthless evil should be destroyed by being burned. Matthew 13:36-43; Luke 3:16-17; Isaiah 9:18 (KJB). 

In the end of the world, God will burn only the worthless and destructive evil, and the Devil that has soiled His creation, and He will recreate His purged creation to be totally righteous. II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). God will use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve all humans, "on the earth, and under the earth," so that He can separate their repentant, good and living natures that He created from their dead and evil natures that He will cast into an eternal lake of fire. Christ will cause all of His living humans to repent and return to faith in Him as their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14; Psalm 75:3; Habakkuk 2:4; I Corinthians 3:11-15; John 5:28-29; John 11:25-26 (KJB). God will save and recreate His entire creation, including all of His living humans, and He will burn up only the worthless sins, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil. II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 111:7-8; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB).  

The Fiery Wrath of God

                          Psalm 106:18 KJB

This Psalm happens to be about how God protects His people who have faith in Him, but when His people fall into habitual sin and evil, He will always forgive and restore them to Himself whenever they repent. 

But God will also always burn the wicked. Psalm 106:18 (KJB). Whom does God say these wicked are? Jesus, being God, surely could answer that question. If salt could lose its saltness; that is, its ability to preserve food, it would be worthless and should be thrown away. Matthew 5:13 (KJB). Trees which bring forth no good fruit whatsoever are cast into the fire. Matthew 7:19 (KJB). Christ will forgive any sin or evil upon repentance and faith, but the person who absolutely rejects the call of the Holy Spirit to repent does so because that person hates God, and God will never forgive that person because he is totally evil. Matthew 12:31-32 (KJB). Every human has a good treasure in his heart created by God, and every human also has an evil treasure planted into his heart by the Devil. Matthew 12:35; Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). God created all humans to possess the "seed" of goodness, but the Devil planted his "tares" of evil. But in the end of the world, God will cause all of His righteous people to repent of being soiled by evil so that He can save them from eternal death, and He will cast their evil natures into an eternal flame. Only the "tares" planted by the Devil will be burned. Matthew 13:36-43; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). God will root up and destroy everything that the Devil has ever planted, and He will save all that He has planted. Matthew 15:13; Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 36:6 (KJB). Clearly, Jesus taught that He will forever burn only that which is totally evil. 

Good people who allow evil to dominate their lives can rightly be called evil, and sometimes God uses His fiery wrath to cast evil people into a burning Hell. Psalm 106:17 (KJB). God casts their good natures into Hell with their evil natures. But in the end of the world, God will use His fiery wrath to dissolve their beings to separate their repentant, good and living natures for Him to recreate from their totally dead and evil natures whom He will cast into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). 

Every person, except for sociopaths, can feel remorse for the sin and evil that they may do. But remorse is not the same as repentance. Repentance means that a person desires to be reconciled with God. But no one can feel remorse or repentance unless that person has a good nature. Judas Iscariot had remorse but no repentance. Matthew 27:3-5 (KJB). Simon Peter had both remorse and repentance. Matthew 26:74-75 (KJB). The rich man in Hell who asked Abraham to send Lazarus to preach to his five brothers so that they would repent and not come to Hell proved that he still retained his good nature. Luke 16:27-31 (KJB). Jesus Christ never changes. Hebrews 13:8 (KJB). The Love and compassion of Christ will always cause Him to forgive and reclaim every good and living nature of every human who ever repents and desires to be reconciled with God whether they are alive on the earth, or they are confined to one of the three regions of death. John 5:24; John 11:25-26; Revelation 5:11-14; Colossians 1:15-20; John 5:28-29; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). Nowhere does the Bible teach that God will not save a person after their physical death. The only possible exception to this rule is the sociopath who so violently suppresses his good nature that he can feel no remorse. Such a person comes close to being totally evil. But since God can never lose anything He has ever created, then there must be some tiny amount of goodness even in the sociopath whom God will cause to repent and return to faith in Christ in the end of the world. Revelation 5:11-14; Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJB). 

The Fiery Wrath of God

                               Psalm 105:32,39 KJB

This Psalm praises God for His covenant with Abraham and with Israel His chosen people. Although the Israelites have had to endure a lot of hardships and suffering over the centuries, God has always given them His protection and eventual victory over their enemies. Being the most hated and persecuted people ever, it is quite a miracle that there are any Jews in the world today. God used His fiery wrath against evil to protect His people with a wall of fire when the Egyptian army had trapped them against the Red Sea. Psalm 105:39; Exodus 14:19-20 (KJB). God also used His fiery wrath as one of the punishments of the Egyptians to force them to release His people from slavery. Psalm 105:32; Exodus 9:23 (KJB). God opened the Red Sea to allow the Israelites to escape from the Egyptian army. Exodus 14:21-22 (KJB). This has been a pattern for the Jewish people over the centuries. Whenever they face extinction, God always provides a way for them to escape. 

God made the Israelites His chosen people when He made a covenant with Abraham who is the father of all faith in the God of the Bible. The prophecy that God gave to Abraham has certainly remained true to this very day. God has severely punished nations that have persecuted the Jews, and He has bestowed special blessings on nations that have befriended the Jews. Genesis 12:1-3 (KJB). But God also prophesied to Abraham that he and his descendants would be a blessing to "all families of the earth." Since all humans are born of a woman, and since Eve happens to be the mother of all living, then this prophecy can only apply to every human who would ever live. Genesis 3:20 (KJB). This blessing also cannot be any type of material or physical blessing because many people have suffered from war, famine, and disease. This blessing from Abraham can only be a spiritual blessing that God will provide for every living human that He ever creates in His image. Genesis 1:26-27 (KJB). God will save the entire human race from eternal death. I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). 

The Devil has cursed the human race by injecting spiritual death into the inner beings of all humans who sin, and all humans sin. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). This curse would cause the eternal deaths of all humans if God did nothing to stop it. But Christ suffered on a cruel cross, and He sent His Spirit into a burning Hell when He died to save His entire human race from sins, evil, eternal death, and the Devil. The word "propitiation" in I John 2:2 means that God became satisfied that Jesus did all that was necessary to save all humans who become saved by His grace, but that same word is implied in the second part of that verse which can only mean that Jesus also saved the rest of humanity. Jesus shed His blood and water on the cross to save by His grace all humans who would put their faith in Him while still alive in the flesh. I John 1:7; John 5:24 (KJB). That was a sin offering as symbolized in the Old Testament. But Jesus also sent His Spirit into a burning Hell to save the rest of humanity by His use of His fiery wrath against evil. Psalm 16:9-11; Acts 2:25-39; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). That was a burnt offering as symbolized in the Old Testament. God forgave sins and evil for either the sin offering or the burnt offering. Leviticus 5:7-10 (KJB). 

Christ will save the rest of humanity when He visits them in the end of the world. When they see His Tremendous Majesty and His eternal Love for them, they will all repent and return to faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. Habakkuk 2:4; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Christ will then use His fiery wrath against evil, made possible by the descent of His Spirit into Hell, to dissolve their beings to separate their repentant, good and living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can recreate their living natures with new bodies to live forever on His recreated earth, and He will cast their dead and evil natures into an eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12; John 5:28-29; John 11:25-26 (KJB). 

The Fiery Wrath of God

                           Psalm 104:4 KJB

This Psalm is mostly about God's creative powers, and His recreation after He had destroyed most of the humans and the animals in the great flood, but He recreated it all. God used water to purge the earth of evil humans so that He could preserve a better human race in Noah and his family. The constant goal of God is to purge His creation of all sins, evil, and the Devil so that He can recreate it all to be wholly righteous. II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). After the great flood, God made the human race better, but each individual human still retained a spiritual death inside of every one of them that the Devil injected into them whenever they sinned. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). Noah's sin after the flood proved that to be the case. 

The Psalmist rejoices over the joy and beauty of God's creation as if it had no sin and evil within it. The Psalmist concludes with a plea to God that He consume and purge all sinners and all evil from His creation. Psalm 104:35 (KJB). In the end of the world, God will use His fiery wrath against evil to purge and cleanse His creation of all sins, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil so that He can recreate it all to be wholly righteous. II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). At that time, Christ will visit all of His living humans whom He created in His image who are "on the earth, and under the earth," and He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him as their Savior so that He can use His fiery wrath to dissolve their beings to separate their repentant, good and living natures from their dead and evil natures. Christ will then recreate their good and living natures with new bodies to live forever on His recreated earth, and He will cast their dead and evil natures into an eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). 

Since God is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance," then the entire human race will eventually repent and be saved because God's Will cannot be thwarted. II Peter 3:9 (KJB). When God uses His fiery wrath to burn the heavens and the earth, He will burn all of the evil works of the Devil, including all of the evil within the inner beings of all humans who did not become saved by God's grace. II Peter 3:10 (KJB). All of God's creation will be dissolved to separate the evil from the good, including all of God's living humans whom He will cause to repent. II Peter 3:11; Psalm 75:3 (KJB). Even living humans saved by grace will be somewhat dissolved because God will wash away all of their sins and evil with the blood of Jesus, and He will annul their spiritual deaths, and He will recreate them from the inside out. I John 1:7; John 5:24; II Corinthians 5:17 (KJB). After God has thoroughly purged His entire creation of all sins, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil, He will recreate it all to be wholly righteous, including all humans whom He has created in His image. II Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). 

The Psalmist interrupts his paean to the glory of God's creation to relate that God can delegate His fiery power to His angels and His ministers. God can use His angels to punish evil humans, and God can also empower His ministers with His fiery power to preach His Word. Psalm 104:4; II Kings 19:35; Acts 2:1-4 (KJB). 

 

The Fiery Wrath of God

                           Psalm 97:3 KJB

God can use His fiery power, which is symbolic of His Almighty Power, in various ways. God can use His fiery power to empower His people to preach His Word, to warn them that He can use His fiery wrath to punish them for their unrepentant attitudes, and to protect His people from attacks by their enemies. Jeremiah 20:9; Acts 2:1-4; Exodus 19:8-25; Numbers 16:35; II Kings 1:9-13 (KJB). God may even use His fiery wrath to temporarily punish His people for their unbelief, but God will never use His fiery wrath to forever burn any of His living humans, all of whom He creates in His image and whom He loves very much. Numbers 11:1-3 (KJB). The burning Hell happens to be only a temporary punishment for God's living humans. God created it to be cast into the eternal lake of fire with the eternal punishment of the Devil, his angels, and all the dead and evil natures that the Devil has planted into the inner beings of all humans. Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10; Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). 

God creates human righteousness, but human righteousness is based on God's own Righteousness and Holiness. God creates humans in His image. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:26-27 (KJB). If God ever cast any of His living humans into an eternal lake of fire, that would be as if He admitted that something is wrong with His own Holiness. Everything that God creates goes out as an objective copy of His own Holiness even though it is not as holy as He is, and eventually, it all comes back to Him. Romans 11:36 (KJB). 

God forever burns only His enemies who is the Devil and all evil. Psalm 97:3 (KJB). Jesus taught that God burns the "worms" of humans, not their living natures. Mark 9:43-50 (KJB). The word "worm" in the Bible symbolizes sin and evil itself, not God's living humans. Psalm 22:6; Isaiah 66:22-24 (KJB). God's only enemies are sins, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil. God will use His fiery wrath against evil to purge His creations of the Devil and all evil so that He can recreate it all to be wholly righteous. II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). God's living humans become soiled and stained by sin and evil that they practice because the Devil has injected the curse of spiritual death into them all. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 64:6 (KJB). That curse would have utterly destroyed humanity, but Christ came to earth to take that curse on Himself and suffer its penalty and rise from the dead with complete victory over all the evil works of the Devil. Hebrews 2:9-18; I John 3:8; I John 2:2; Revelation 1:17-18; II Timothy 1:10; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). Christ knows exactly how to return every living human that He ever creates to faith that He sacrificed Himself to cleanse and purge them of all sins, evil, and spiritual death so that He can recreate them all to be wholly righteous again. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). 

Christ gained an absolute and complete victory over all sins, evil, spiritual death, and the Devil through His death, burial, and resurrection. I Corinthians 15:20-28; II Timothy 1:10; Hebrews 2:9-18; I John 3:8; I John 2:2; Revelation 1:17-18 (KJB), Christ will cleanse with His shed blood the sins and evil, and He will annul the spiritual deaths of all living humans who repent and believe in Him as their Savior while still alive in the flesh. John 5:24; Revelation 1:5 (KJB). Christ will also visit all of His living humans confined to the regions of death and on the earth in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to repent and return to the faith He put into them when He created them that He is their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14; John 11:25 (KJB). When they repent and believe, He will use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to purge their living natures of all sins, evil, and spiritual death so that He can recreate their good and living natures to be wholly righteous again, and He will cast their dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. II Peter 3:9-13; Matthew 13:36-43; Luke 3:16-17; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12; Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB).     

The Fiery Wrath of God

                           Psalm 89:46 KJB

This Psalm is about God's covenant with king David that God will establish David's throne forever. God promised to be faithful to that covenant even though some of the future kings of Israel and Judah would be evil men. At about the time of the prophet Zechariah, God transferred the throne of David to His Son Jesus. Zechariah 6:9-15 (KJB). Since the Father has given to His Son all power in the earth and in Heaven, then Jesus happens to be not just the king of the Jews, but also the king of the whole world. Matthew 28:18; I Corinthians 15:20-28; Psalm 89:27 (KJB). God promised that He will raise to life all faithful Jews in a general resurrection, but since Christ happens to be the king of the entire human race, then He has extended that promise to all humans who fail to become saved by His grace. Daniel 12:1-3; I Corinthains 15:20-28; John 5:28-29; Revelation 5:11-14; I John 2:2; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). 

God creates every human to be good and creative. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:26-27 (KJB). But when God's people allow sin and evil to control their lives, God's fiery wrath can burn towards them, just as it does toward evil. Psalm 89:46 (KJB). God will punish His people for their sins and evil. The answer to the Psalmist's question about God having "made all men in vain?" can only be absolutely not. Psalm 89:47 (KJB). Would God ever cast His living humans whom He creates and loves into an eternal fire because they were soiled by sin? God would never do that. God always only temporarily punishes His created people. Genesis 3:16-19 (KJB). All of God's created people are alive in His sight. Luke 20:38 (KJB). That can only mean that they can never become forever dead. God knows exactly how to bring all of His living humans back to faith in Him as their Savior, some by His grace and all others when Christ visits them in the end of the world. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; Habakkuk 2:4 (KJB). When Christ visits all of His living humans in the end of the world, He will preach to them and bring them all back to faith in Him as their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Then, He will use His fiery wrath against evil to purge them all of their dead and evil natures which He will cast into an eternal fire, and He will save their repentant, good and creative natures for Him to recreate to live forever on His recreated earth. Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13; Matthew 13:36-43; Luke 3:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).
