How Does God Express His Wrath?
Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us? (Deuteronomy 31:17; KJV)
Wherefore the wrath of the Lord was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes. (2 Chronicles 29:8; KJV)
Commentary: God’s “anger” and His “wrath” are the same thing. Both passages above explains how God expresses His wrath. In 2 Chron. 29:8, the word “delivered” is from the Hebrew word “nathan” and “The verb [nathan] signifies to permit” (George Phillips, The Psalms in Hebrew, p.116). When people continue to rebel against God, He does not exercise His wrath by personally destroying them through His omnipotent power. He exercises His wrath by removing His protection and permitting hostile forces to have their way with those He once protected.
