How Can We Know When God is Angry?

How Can We Know When God is Angry?

“Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken,                       because He was angry.”     2 Samuel 22:8 (NKJV)

Did any of you listen and feel the storm we had last week? Here is what I thought: When those huge claps of thunder roared overhead, our windows rattled and the ground shook like an earthquake, I wondered what would happen next.  I don’t think I ever heard thunder like that and at the same time, the lightning was so bright, it shown right through our window darkening drapes.  This was what my grandfather would have called, “a hum- dinger’ of a storm.

My daughter called and ask me if there wasn’t something in the Bible about the earth shaking.  It sounded interesting and so I looked it up.  There were several places the Bible talks about the earth shaking and trembling and why it happened.

I have been following this past year and so far this year, for the tragedies happening concerning the weather events, on our side of the world. I have lived for many years and have never seen such extremes in weather, wind and fires.  I have personally experienced weather changes, but I do not believe in ‘global warming’. I have read about the great ‘ice age’, and ‘the great flood’, and the Sea splitting in half, and I believe all of it and know that someday this earth as we now know it, will be changed. “Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.” Revelation 21:1

So, why has the weather become so extreme? (I only speak for this country and others probably speak the same of their country.) This country has become so evil that I believe God’s anger is intensifying.  In Psalms 18:7 we read, “Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken, because He was angry.”  In another Psalm 77:18, it says, “Your thunder roared from the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world! The earth trembled and shook.”  God is not happy with us; He is not happy with this people who sacrifice their unborn children to the god of this world, Satan. Yes, Satan is the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4) “Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe.”

We give in to all the evil we see all around us and even God’s people feels desires rise up within themselves and many who are not grounded in the Word of God, give into those desires. The evil which we see from within our own government follows evil and not good.  We pray it will change quickly with a new leader at the helm, but the former is out to destroy the present.  What does God think of all this?  I can’t pretend to know the mind of God, but we must trust in his Word.  Jesus, himself was telling the disciples what was coming in the future and in Matthew 24:8 when he had told them of the horrors people would have to go through, he said, “All these are the beginnings of sorrows.”  It is going to get worse.

There is a time coming when we feel the earth shake and the lightning striking around us that worse things are coming in these end times.  In fact, in Hebrews 12:26, (God) “whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.  What we experienced last week with the thunder and lightning was like a practice run.  If that scared you, hang on.  There is no doubt that God is getting fed up with this country and the whole world and it remains to be seen how quickly we will have more of this.

It is time to pray and remember to pray for those who cannot see to follow God.  Our time here is swiftly passing and we will meet with God one of these days.  Prepare your heart that you may be able to go with him when he appears to you.
