English Christian Song | "The Symbol of God's Wrath"

October 25, 2026

I

The disposition of God is His own inherent essence; His disposition does not change at all with the passage of time, nor does it alter with changes of geographical location. His inherent disposition is His intrinsic essence. Regardless of whom He carries out His work upon, His essence does not change, and neither does His righteous disposition. When one angers God, that which God sends forth is His inherent disposition; at this time the principle behind His anger does not change, nor do His unique identity and status. He does not grow angry because of a change in His essence or because different elements arise in His disposition, but because man's opposition against Him offends His disposition.

Man's flagrant provocation of God is a severe challenge to God's own identity and status. In God's view, when man challenges Him, man is contending with Him and tempting His anger. When man opposes God, when man contends with God, when man continuously tempts the anger of God, that is precisely when sin runs rampant—at such times, the wrath of God will naturally reveal and present itself. Therefore, the unleashing of God's wrath is a symbol that all evil forces will cease to exist, and it is a symbol that all hostile forces will be destroyed. This is the uniqueness of God's righteous disposition, and of God's wrath.
