God's Wrath

Scripture: Ezekial 6:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them, 3And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.

Observation: It is very clear in this scripture that the Lord personally destroyed Israel during the period of its history where Babylon sieged and ultimately destroyed Israel. We know from other scripture that the King of Babylon was directed by God for the destruction of Israel due to their great, never ceasing, rebellion against God.

Application: Our nations are also in rebellion against God, however as we live in the Church age, where Jesus has personally taken God's wrath upon himself, it is hard for us to understand how the loving God we know could do such a thing. However, prophesy tells us that God will again pour out his wrath one final time upon the earth in the seven years prior to when Jesus returns to rule and reign as King.

Prayer: Thank you Jesus, that you are a just God; Full of mercy, full of grace, full of love without end. Your ways are true, you alone are righteous. We trust in you, and we look forward to being with you always.
