"WRATH OF GOD IS REVEALED!"

Romans 1:18-23                                (ESV)
"18 For the "WRATH OF GOD IS REVEALED" from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
19 For what can be known about GOD is plain to them, because GOD has shown it to them.
20 For HIS invisible attributes, namely, HIS eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
21 For although they knew GOD they did not honor HIM as GOD or give thanks to HIM, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal GOD for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things."



It seems everyone who is of "this world" wants to limit GOD to simply being a good GOD, ONE who only gives us what we desire to make our earthly lives more enjoyable comfortable.  The HOLY BIBLE is used for GOD to REVEAL HIMSELF to mankind, IF THEY ARE WILLING TO HAVE THEIR EYES OPENED!  There are those who are supposedly "wise" who even today find a TRUTH from the BIBLE that science tends to verify, and they consider it a monumental breakthrough, i.e...Sodom and Gomorrah!  (http://www.biblearchaeology.org/post/2008/04/16/The-Discovery-of-the-Sin-Cities-of-Sodom-and-Gomorrah.aspx)

There are few places in the BIBLE where the "WRATH OF GOD IS REVEALED" like it is in Genesis 19.   Two Angels of GOD came to visit Lot in the city of Sodom and the next day destroyed the entire city.  The sin had become so widespread in Sodom that GOD judged the city to be worthy of death.  Romans 1:20 should be one of the most feared verses of scripture IF PEOPLE LISTENED TO WHAT WAS BEING WRITTEN!  "For HIS invisible attributes, namely, HIS eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. SO THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE!!"

Mankind must not really believe the HOLY BIBLE is actually true, that it must be just a book of fables and stories that are not actually true or meaningful.  Verse 22 says things rather plainly, and revealing, about most who are in the church today, "Claiming to be wise, they became fools"!  People are blatantly beating on the gates of Hell with blind exuberance that will one day soon result in the "WRATH OF GOD BEING REVEALED"!  A Bible Study credited to the late Dr. Adrian Rogers says it rather plainly, "The chief attribute of God is not love—it is holiness"!!!  You don't do anyone a favor when you try to paint GOD with a brush of love, and minimize HIS Holiness!

As LOVINGLY as I can say this, 'this world' needs to have a TRUE VISION that one day when the "WRATH OF GOD IS REVEALED" it will not be a pretty sight!  Scripture states in Romans 14:11 "for it is written, "As I live, SAYS THE LORD, every knee shall bow to ME, and every tongue shall confess to GOD"!  We cannot add to, or more emphatically state, the severity of this alert!  The day is coming when the "WRATH OF GOD IS REVEALED"!!!
