The Fiery Wrath of God

           Judges 14:15 Judges 15:4-5 Judges 15:6 (KJB)

Evil people will use any cruel method that they see fit to get what they want. They have no qualms about inflicting pain on innocent people. God's enemies threatened to burn Samson's wife's and her father's house just so they could win a bet with Samson.

When Samson's wife's father took her away from Samson and gave her to one of his companions, Samson was grieved, and he decided to take revenge on the Philistines because he knew that his enemies had  induced  his wife's father to take her away from him. So, Samson caught 300 foxes and attached firebrands to their tails, and he turned them loose into the wheat fields and vineyards of the Philistines and burnt them. Although Samson had decided to do this on his own, God allowed him to do it because God, being Holy, has every right to use His fiery wrath to punish evildoers for their evil deeds. God often uses the same methods that evildoers use, but He does that for righteous purposes. 

When the Philistines heard that Samson had burnt their fields, they were evidently afraid to directly confront Samson. So, they burned Samson's wife's and father's house with them in it and murdered them even though they had enticed her father to take her away from Samson. When Samson heard of this very cruel and evil deed, he began to kill the Philistines by the thousands. But God was working through the mighty strength of Samson to kill His, and His people's enemies.

Just like Samson burnt the fields of the Philistines, in the end of the world, God will burn His entire creation to purge it of all evil and the Devil, and He will recreate it all, including all of His living humans that He created in His image, to be righteous. II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:1-5; Luke 20:38 (KJB). Since God is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance," then God will make sure that all of His living humans will come to repentance because His Will cannot be thwarted. II Peter 3:9; I Timothy 2:4; I Corinthians 3:11-15; I Corinthians 4:5; II Timothy 4:1; Revelation 5:11-14. (KJB).
