Rebellion and Wrath

God's Love has the face of wrath against rebellion. Rebellion is a type of lostness/blindness that wants to be a god unto itself, ignoring the obvious Reality: we did not create ourselves nor the principles by which life and the universe operate. Rebellion comprises an angry demand for its own way. It frequently sees itself as a victim. It ignores kind persuasion, which it frequently misperceives as weakness. God's is patient in His wrath against rebellion. He sends the prophets; He waits; He measures out the consequences; He issues warnings. He continues to allow us freedom [the only freedom that we humans have has been given to us by our Creator].  The consequences of rebellion accumulate and increase over time and in proportion to the level of rebellion. At some point, God's wrath manifests as detachment. He leaves us to our own dark devices. Jesus described this as a place of "weeping and gnashing of teeth." Those who are awakening see this Reality. And pray for more awakened souls. They work peacefully to evoke the Kingdom of God.
