The Wrath of the Lord

Isaiah 34

July 7, 2024 • Alexey Kolomiytsev • Isaiah 34

God's judgment is one of the dominant themes of the book of Isaiah. It occurs more frequently in the first half of the book, the first 39 chapters. Before concluding this part of the book, the prophet describes one of his visions in which he vividly presents God's wrath and its effects. The subject of God's wrath has become increasingly unpopular, not only among people in general, but even among Christians. God is seen as obligated to provide people with all the goods they desire to have, and whenever God denies people these goods, people express their displeasure. Meanwhile, Scripture speaks extensively and clearly of God's wrath as an inevitable reality.
