The wrath of God will manifest itself
twice. First, is when the world ends on
Judgment day during the second coming of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
26C.1
How will this
wrath or anger of God manifest itself and when will this be revealed?
Man needs to be saved from the wrath or anger of God.
In Zep. 1:18, it is recorded;
"On the day when the Lord shows his fury,
not even all their silver and gold will save them. The whole
earth will be consumed by the fire of his anger. He will put an
end -- a sudden end -- to everyone who lives on earth. (TEV)
God's wrath will manifest itself in fire that will consume all the
earth, together with all of its inhabitants. This
destruction will take place on the day of the Lord's wrath.
26C.2
When is the day
of the Lord's wrath and how extensive shall this appointed destruction be?
In II Peter 3: 7 & 10, this is written:
But the heavens and the earth which are now
preserved by the same word are reserved for fire until the day of
judgment and perdition of ungodly men,
But the day of the Lord
will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass
away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat;
both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. (II
Peter 3:7, 10, NKJV)
The day of our Lord's wrath is the Day of Judgment or the second
coming of Jesus Christ.
26C.3
Could man escape death and destruction
on Judgment
Day by fleeing into space?
In II Peter 3:10, this is written:
But the day of the Lord will come like a
thief. On that day the heavens will disappear with a shrill
noise, the heavenly bodies will burn up and be destroyed, and the earth
with everything in it will vanish. (NIV)
No, because on that day the heavens will disappear with a
shrill noise, the heavenly bodies will burn up and be destroyed.
26C.4 There are those who may not take Judgment Day seriously, regarding it
as a fiction or fantasy. But, how real is
Judgment Day?
The Bible
states in Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the
judgment: (NKJV)
The Day of Judgment is as real as death.
As death is an undeniable reality, so Judgment Day is a coming
reality.
Why is it sure
that Judgment Day will happen?
Because God who appointed death is the same God who appointed Judgment.
