Bern emphasizes that biblical prophecy must be understood primarily from the perspective of God's dealings with Israel, with the Church being grafted in. The conflict in rapture timing (pre-, mid-, or post-Tribulation) arises because some scriptures suggest an early removal before the Tribulation, while others point to a rapture near Christ's Second Coming. Bern proposes that the term "pre-wrath rapture" (occurring just before Christ sets foot on Earth) resolves the conflict, suggesting two distinct rapture events: an early one for the fervent Philadelphia Church and a later one for the redeemed from the Tribulation (including the formerly lukewarm Laodicean believers). This idea is reinforced by Jesus's words in Matthew 24:33, which in the original Greek translation uses the plural, "right at the doors," implying multiple entry points or rapture events.The analysis next tackles the issue of whether the Church will endure the seven-year Tribulation, which is marked by the Wrath of God. Citing Revelation 6:12-17 (the Sixth Seal), Bern confirms that the judgments poured out are explicitly referred to as the "wrath of the Lamb," refuting the claim that the Tribulation is solely the wrath of Satan. Crucially, Nahum 1:2 states that God "reserves wrath for his enemies," and Romans 5:9 confirms that believers "shall be saved from the wrath of God" through justification by blood. Bern explains that if a believer is obedient and a "friend" of Christ (John 15:13-15), they are not God's enemy and would therefore not be appointed to His wrath. Thus, an early rapture for the faithful is seen as a blessing for obedience (Deuteronomy 28), while the lukewarm are "spit out" into the Tribulation, where they can develop the zeal (covenant relationship) needed to participate in the second, later rapture.

Nov 30, 2025 | The Wrath of God | Pastor Chad Barr by Grace Church Waldorf
A Whore is Facing The Wrath of God.
Transforming Perspectives | Philosophically, most avoid the subject of God's Wrath. Perhaps, because of a lack of knowledge, pertaining to God's effectual love, or a misunderstanding of the evils of man's carnal nature. Therefore, believing God's Wrath precludes the general population. God is love but without the Spirit of God, man cannot understand the existential purity of his mercy and compassion upon all mankind. God knows men's every act as well as convicting the heart for each wrongdoing. The Epistle to the Hebrews expresses, “For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making in operative, energizing, and effective]. Is shaper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as the division of soul and spirit [ the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow, [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Hebrews Chapter 4:12, Amplified Bible. Scriptures are clear, God's wrath will come upon anyone not clothed in the righteousness of God, referred often, as found naked. The same condition Adam and Eve attested before God in the Garden. Formidably, the letter to the Hebrews expressed of the effect of the Presence of God and its reaction to his supreme holiness and righteousness. Apostle Paul exhorts further, “And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews Chapter 4:13, English Standard Version.In Revelation, John the Apostle witnessed also of the Lord's sitting upon his throne of Judgment as with the visions of Ezekiel and Jeremiah, of Jesus' return to reign on earth and to judge the world for all unrighteousness, stating “And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.” Revelation 19:15, KJV. Yet, God's Grace is our assurance and guarantee of being saved from his Wrath, being at rest by faith in Jesus Christ, the Messiah.Pray, Read and Study - Jude Chapter 1, Revelation Chapter 19. The Bible, presented in various versions, is for each reader's edification of the Scriptures. ________________________Thank you for joining and listening to our Podcast's Episodes!

In this sobering and soul-searching message, Pastor Karl dives deep into Matthew 5:17–48, where Jesus declares that He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and then raises the bar of righteousness far beyond anything the scribes and Pharisees ever imagined.Through six piercing examples—anger that murders the heart, lust that commits adultery in the mind, casual divorce, manipulative oaths, retaliation, and hatred disguised as justice—Jesus exposes the truth we all try to avoid: outward obedience is never enough. God judges the heart. Every single one of us stands guilty before His perfect standard.Yet the bad news is meant to drive us to the best news. Pastor Karl powerfully unpacks how Jesus' command in verse 48—“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”—is not a cruel impossible demand, but the very reason the Son of God came. We cannot achieve the righteousness God requires, so God freely gives it to us through faith in Christ. Jesus took our unrighteousness and imputes His perfect righteousness to all who repent and trust Him.A hard-hitting, heart-exposing sermon that leaves no room for self-righteousness, but ends with the liberating joy of the gospel: guilty sinners can be clothed in the very righteousness of God and stand before Him as if we had never sinned.

Pray for Purity In Order To Escape the Wrath of God.
(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 23, 2020) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Revelation16:1-2 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome (smelly) and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. Many doctrines in churches today are doctrines of men and not doctrines of God. As churches follow the doctrines of men, the people of those churches take on the mark of the beast, worshiping something that is not God. Upon these people comes the wrath of God. Plagues of blood to follow: Revelation 16:3-4 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. 4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. And the angels in heaven rejoiced saying: 5-6 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and Thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are THY judgments. But the men of this world who have taken on the mark of the beast curse God over these plagues and they repent not of their works. The fourth angel of the 7 angels, brings a plague that affects men greatly. ***** Revelation 16 8-9 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give HIM glory. 10-11 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. 12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 (Jesus says) Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. We will not be ashamed in the day of the Lord when we follow the instructions given by the New Testament Bible, for by these we correct our way on this earth and come into agreement with God and HIS Word, Jesus. But those in churches who agree with antichrist and follow his doctrines will be ashamed when Jesus returns for His righteous. Correct yourselves now by the New Testament Bible and follow the doctrines of the Bible and turn from the antichrist doctrines being taught by man, and agree with God, while there is still time. Revelation 16 17-21 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of HIS wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

What should we do when two texts seem to say opposite things about God and his character? Pastor John digs to the common root of truth.
We may have a hard time understanding the wrath of God. It may even make us feel uncomfortable. But, why is that? And what makes it challenging to share that news with others? We will see another prophet to Nineveh as Nahum helps us to see a clearer picture of God and a greater appreciation for the cross of Christ.The wrath of God:1) What is it2) Who is it for3) The comfort it bringsText: Nahum 1

Today's society can own this psalm as its own. Stress helps us realize how much we need God to steady our lives. We also need God's forgiveness, because we have also turned our backs on God. We worship things like money, power and sex. Chaos and sin are running wild in this world. If you don't believe me, look as what has been happening in the United States since Donald Trump returned to the White House. We need to atone for our sins and those of our ancestors. We need God to hear the cries of the prisoners, the oppressed, those bound in Satan's darkness and the darkness of their own compromised theology. We need God to glorify His name and vindicate Himself against those false idols who blaspheme Him and reproach Him and His Son. When we pray about something for the sake of God's name, we urge Him to act in order to defend His reputation, to make His glory known, to honour Him, and to let others see His majesty and greatness.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sermons-from-my-heart--2423678/support.
The Celebration No One Thought Would Matter. Imagine thinking you could call a good man a Nazi, smear him before the body cooled, post memes about his death—and feel no heat. Well, you were wrong.”The Left thought they were being clever, even righteous. Charlie Kirk's body was still warm when they sprinted to social media like hyenas to carrion. They called him a Nazi — Stephen King led the charge, because nothing says “bravery” like a multi-millionaire author attacking a corpse.They called him fascist, bigot, monster — the usual bingo card of buzzwords they slap on anyone who dares tell the truth.Factoid #1: In the first 24 hours after Kirk's death, over 27,000 celebratory posts were logged on X using the hashtag #GoodRiddanceCharlie.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Romans 1:18 – 3:20 | Wrath of God, Sin of Man | Johnny Kurcina | September 14, 2025 In this passage from Romans, the apostle Paul gives us an important but difficult message about how all sin puts us equally under God’s wrath. His letter reveals how we are more sinful than we are willing […]
Today, we're talking about the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. This was not only an attack on Charlie, it was an attack on our movement, on conservatism, and on America itself. We need to demand answers about who did this, acknowledge that this was a political assassination, and demand that the assassin receive the death penalty. We want him publicly hung so that we know this evil man is gone for good.Political violence is never the answer. But if they will target someone as polite and kind as Charlie Kirk, then it's clear that every Conservative now has a target on their back. We must honor Charlie by ensuring a worthy replacement rises at Turning Point USA. This dark moment is more than tragic, it is the turning point for the USA.
In this episode, we explore the often-misunderstood theme of God's wrath by diving into the story of Rehoboam in 2 Chronicles 12:1–12. After three years of faithfulness, King Rehoboam and the people of Judah drift into two years of unfaithfulness—and only then is God's wrath mentioned. This delay is key: it shows that God is slow to anger, not quick-tempered or impulsive.When God “forsakes” Rehoboam and hands Jerusalem over to Shishak, king of Egypt, it's not blind rage or divine retaliation—it's a purposeful act designed to teach Judah what it's like to serve the kingdoms and gods of the nations, in contrast to serving the Lord. It's not retribution for retribution's sake; it's discipline meant to restore.Even more striking, God's wrath is turned away not by a sacrifice or punishment, but when Rehoboam and the leaders humble themselves. This challenges many modern assumptions about divine wrath. The text shows that God's anger is not an impersonal substance needing to be appeased, but a relational response to rebellion that can subside when people return to Him in humility.We then turn to Romans 5:8–10, where Paul describes God's love demonstrated through Christ's death—not to change God's mind about us, but to change us and reconcile us back to Him. Like Rehoboam's story, God's wrath is a path we're rescued from—not an impersonal sunbstance that must be deactivated in a mechanistic way. Christ's death does not do something to God, it does something to us—it draws us back into relationship.This episode invites listeners to rethink what divine wrath actually is, and why a relational, patient, redemptive God is a more biblical view of God than the dysfunctional caricatures we often inherit. Misunderstanding God's wrath can damage our relationship with him, but rightly understanding it opens the door to a healthy and flourishing relationship.Key Passages: 2 Chronicles 12:1-12Romans 5:8-10Explainer Video on how to use www.biblehub.com and www.blueletterbible.orgLeave us a question or comment at our website podcast page.
In this unprecedented history of intelligence cooperation during the Cold War, Aviva Guttmann uncovers the key role of European intelligence agencies in facilitating Mossad's Operation Wrath of God; a campaign of assassination against Black September terrorists. She reveals how, in the aftermath of the 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre, Palestinians suspected of involvement in terrorism were hunted and killed by Mossad with active European cooperation. Through unique access to unredacted documents in the Club de Berne archive, she shows how a secret coalition of intelligence agencies supplied Mossad with information about Palestinians on a colossal scale and tacitly supported Israeli covert actions on European soil. Agencies shared information via - Kilowatt - an encrypted channel. Through this channel agencies helped to anticipate and thwart a number of Palestinian terrorist plots, including some revealed here for the first time. At the same time, the Mossad was also able to exploit this information to carry out its covert assassinations, staying one step ahead of the investigations. Many European agencies also used the same channel to bolster their reputation in the context of counterterrorism. This extraordinary book reconstructs the hidden world of international intelligence, showing how this parallel order enabled state relations to be pursued independently of official foreign policy constraints or public scrutiny. It shows how intelligence agencies play be different rules and how covert diplomacy continues - and prospers - even in the aftermath of scandals and in those occasions in which open diplomacy is problematic.

Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GraceIn Romans 2:6–10, Paul teaches that salvation is by grace through faith, yet final judgment will be based on works—not to earn salvation, but to prove it. The righteous seek God's promised glory, honor, and eternal life through patient goodness, while the wicked live for themselves, reject the truth, and face God's wrath.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on August 17, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey: https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're taking a hard look at Taylor Swift's new pornographic-themed album cover, The Life of a Showgirl. From the drinking and partying she parades as normal to her descent into porn culture, Swift has become a dangerous influence on young girls—and really, on everyone. We'll also address the cult-like following surrounding her, and why parents have a biblical responsibility to guard their children from this idolatry and from being exposed to Taylor Swift's sinful pornographic example. Darkness must be exposed, and the Word of God gives us the standard by which to measure it. We will also discuss how disgusting it is to excuse sin by simply labeling it “adult entertainment.” Unfriendly reminder: Civilization is currently collapsing. Let's actually do something about it?--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/

Rev 15:1-8 If you're a Christian you love to worship God. Perhaps you think of His grace or His mercy or his patience. But we are called to worship God with all of His attributes! You might ask, "even His wrath?" Absolutely. You might shudder at that thought, but it is true, and it is Biblical. Let's consider this important aspect of God's character today.
Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GracePaul warns that it's far easier to see and condemn the sins of others than to recognize our own, and that doing so reveals a dangerous hypocrisy that presumes on God's kindness instead of being led by it to repentance. God's patience is not apathy toward sin but an opportunity to turn to Him before His righteous judgment is revealed.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on August 10, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey: https://foothill.church/FTSOHN
What kind of life will you live with the time you've been given? This message explores why the unexamined life is a wasted life. Drawing from Psalm 90, we unpack how living by God's Word points us consistently toward wisdom and clarity. Even though life is short, Christ gives our days everlasting meaning.
To understand the two sides of pre-Christian suffering, Pastor John analyzes the two identities we had before we became believers.
The unwillingness of others to repent will not hold the saints hostage. Hell cannot blackmail heaven into misery.
Romans 1:18 — When one thinks of God's wrath, they often think of unrelenting rage. There are times in Biblical history when the punishment for sin was met with God's mighty fist and proves this. However, in the sermon “The Wrath of God Revealed,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones offers that God's wrath is rather His complete hatred of sin. Romans 1:18 points out that God's wrath against unrighteousness has been revealed with the full authority of God. Dr. Lloyd-Jones outlines several evidences to prove how and when that the wrath is revealed. One evidence is that all people have a sense of right and wrong, and it is found in the conscience which often gives remorse over wrongdoing. God's wrath may be immediate physical consequence of sin or His wrath could be postponed until the appointed time. Regardless of when, God will punish sin. One thing is to be sure, God's wrath will come. It is shown in God's perfect example of sending His Son to the cross. The cross proves that the wrath of God is only satisfied when the wages of sin are paid. The Old Testament illustrates this with the sacrifices that picture what Christ did on the cross. Before the love of God on the cross can be seen, the wrath must first be seen. It is only by understanding the depths of the wrath that one can understand the depths of His love.
Romans 1:18 — The bold boast of every Christian is Jesus Christ. There is a terrible need for the gospel today and there is nothing but the good news of Jesus Christ that adequately meets the need. This is the reason that Paul worked day and night in all circumstances to boldly preach the gospel. In the sermon “The Wrath of God,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones emphasizes that Paul's preaching was never human-centered but was only God-centered. Romans 1:18 points out that one of the main reasons Paul preached with urgency is because the wrath of God has been revealed. The wrath and judgement of God is not something that everyone talks about in their daily lives and Dr. Lloyd-Jones outlines three attitudes about the wrath of God. One of those attitudes comes from evangelicals who do not accept the teaching of God's judgment and only choose to focus on the love and mercy of the Father. This is the mark of cults which highlight one doctrine and exclude others. Dr. Lloyd-Jones echoes the apostle Paul's warning against those who hold to this teaching by reminding that the wrath of God is approaching. The Christian should never make light of the judgment of the Lord or avoid talking about it when evangelizing. The gates of heaven will be shut on some people and Paul urges all to repent.
