The Fiery Wrath of God

                                       Numbers 11:1-3 KJB

The Israelites began to complain to God as they wandered in the wilderness because they had only manna to eat that God had provided for them.  Numbers 11:6 (KJB). Many of them actually desired to go back to slavery in Egypt because there they had a lot of different foods to eat. Numbers 11:4-5 (KJB). They were tired of manna, and they were tired of being free. They were no longer grateful to God for liberating them from slavery in Egypt. They failed to consider that having freedom with a little is much better that having a lot in slavery. Freedom allows a person, even if they start with very little, to make choices for the future that will greatly enrich their lives and cause them too maybe find some happiness in life. But slavery, even if one has a lot, stultifies a person's life and causes them too never be creative with their life. Yet, many people prefer a dull and empty life in slavery if someone will just take care of them. 

God's fiery wrath became kindled against those rebels on the outskirts of the camp, and His fiery wrath consumed some of them. Those rebels tended to be on the outskirts of the camp because they lagged behind when the people moved so that they could find a chance to separate themselves from the camp and head back to Egypt. But when Moses prayed for them, God quenched His fiery wrath. The prayers of a Godly person avails much with God. James 5:16 (KJB). Nothing incurs the fiery wrath of God like the evil of rebellion. Ezekiel 28:13-19 (KJB). Moses pleased God with his display of love for his people. God also loves His people, and His love prompted Moses to pray for his people. 

God consumed those rebels with His fiery wrath, but that does not mean that God will forever destroy that part of their nature that He created and loves. Genesis 1:26-27; Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJB). How God dealt with Lucifer set the pattern for how He will deal with all human rebels. God used His fiery wrath to dissolve Lucifer's being so that God could recover all of the good elements that He had put into Lucifer's system. God would then be able to exile Satan to earth as a completely empty and evil being. Ezekiel 28:13-19 (KJB). God intends to dissolve the beings of all His humans that He ever created so that He can recover and recreate their good natures that have been soiled by sin and evil and either annul their dead and evil natures or consign their dead and evil natures to an eternal lake of fire. Psalm 75:3; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). God will dissolve the inner beings of all living humans who become saved by His grace by washing them clean of all sins and evil with the blood that Jesus shed for them on the cross and by annulling their dead and evil natures. John 5:24; I John 1:7 (KJB). God will also use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve the beings of every one of His living humans whom He had to consign to the regions of death, and He will recover and recreate their repentant, good and living natures that He created and loves, and He will consign their dead and evil natures to the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). 

Psalm 36:6 informs that God will preserve man and beast. How long does God preserve something? Mark 9:49-50; Matthew 3:10-12; Luke 20:38; II Peter 3:9-13; II Timothy 4:1; I Timothy 2:4 (KJB). Can anything thwart the will of God?
