Abstract
Wrath as a word is an intense application of force to achieve an end result. God’s wrath is the force that removes corruption and restores His righteousness on the earth. The restoration in the Book of Revelation where all evil is destroyed and God comes to dwell on the earth is a demonstration of His effective wrath. Notice that the intended end result is good; it is “heaven on earth.” The devil’s wrath destroys all that is like God in a manner to cause the most fear of the devil among men, the most misery for man and for men to distrust God and all that is good.
