The Final Wrath of God on Unbeliever

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: The Final Wrath of God on Unbeliever

The final wrath of God will be terrible — indescribable pain.

Jesus says in Matthew 13:41–42, “The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (see verse 49). Then he adds at least three more terrible images of God’s wrath besides fire:

He pictures it as a master returning and finding his servant disobeying his commands, and he “will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 24:51). The wrath of God is like cutting someone in pieces.

Then he pictures it as darkness: “The sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 8:12). The wrath of God is like being totally blind forever.

Finally he quotes Isaiah 66:24 and says, “Their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:48). In Isaiah 66:24 God says, “And they shall go out and look on the dead bodies of the men who have rebelled against me. For their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”

In Revelation 6:15–16, the apostle John adds that the wrath of God — indeed the wrath of Jesus himself — will be so terrible that every class of human beings will cry out for rocks to crush them rather than face the wrath:

Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.”
The last picture of horror that I will mention is the final one of the Bible; namely, the lake of fire. It is called the “second death” in Revelation 20:14:

“Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.” Revelation 2:11 says that those who conquer — that is, believers in Jesus — “will not be hurt by the second death,” implying that those who do not believe will be.

John 3:17-18 KJV
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

LET US PRAY
IN JESUS NAME YOU AND ME WILL NOT END IT IN HELL FIRE.
