“Anger of the Lord”

George Reynolds, Janne M. Sjodahl

Can God be angry? The Scriptures say he can. For instance, 10) May we not continue and ask: He that made this children sensitive to the injustice and sufferings of fellow beings, shall he be immovable, himself as a cold marble statue?" That is unthinkable. The Scriptures speak not only of his wrath, but of his "fierce wrath." However, they also give us to understand that,

"His anger endureth but a moment,

But his favor all our life:

There may be weeping in the evening,

But in the morning there is joy."

The Hills Did Tremble. Refers to an earthquake, as a result of which corpses littered the streets as refuse.

His Hand is Stretched Out Still. His anger is not yet appeased. He is ready to strike again. Which is but another way of saying that the object of the correction had not yet been attained. More punishment is coming.
