4) Cold or Hot Anger?

• In Genesis 11 we are told about the Tower of Babel!

• Men were supposed to fill the earth according to God’s will!

• But they refused to obey God’s will by staying together and building a big city and a high tower to reach heaven!

• As a consequence God confused their language and they started to speak different languages and they filled the earth by going away according to their language!

• There was no anger at all just to force them to do according to God’s will!

 

[JLG]

5) Cold or Hot Anger?

• In Genesis 12 we are told that God struck the Egyptians because of Abraham and his wife!

• Thus he acted to protect Abraham and his wife!

• Thus God always acts on purpose!

• There is always a balance between action and repayment of what has been done!

• If we don’t have this idea in mind, we can’t understand God’s action!

 

[Patrick1966]

I think the Bible is the story of man's struggle to live successfully apart from God. Knowing that man was destined to fail miserably, God created a plan wherein, eventually, ALL mankind would be saved, cleansed, transformed, and given to God. Thereafter, mankind learned that following God is the only way and everyone live happily ever after. :)

-Then they will have the choice to decide again like Adam and eve!

6) Cold or Hot Anger?

• In Genesis 15 God tells Abraham that his offspring will be slaves for 400 years!

• But after that God will strike the nation that will do that!

• And the Israelites will have compensation!

• They will leave the country with many goods!

• But think of that!

• They will be slaves for 400 years!

• And yet they won’t take advantage of such a bad situation!

• How stupid they are!

• But it’s the same with mankind!

• Except the fact that the Israelites were supposed to be God’s people!

7) Cold or Hot Anger?

• In Genesis 18 God tells Abraham he is going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah because they were all bad to the extreme without any exception!

• Genesis 19: 4,5 tells us to which extreme!

• Lot was a foreign resident!

• Thus Lot and his family could avoid the destruction but they couldn’t look back!
• Lot’s wife looked back and she was destroyed!

• In this case again, we can see God’s balance!

• There is always a price to pay sooner or later!

• It will be the same for mankind when Jesus comes back as a warlord!

• And there won’t be any exception!

• Everyone will be judged according to one’s actions!

8) Cold or Hot Anger?

• In Genesis 20 Abimelech takes Abraham’s wife without knowing she is Abraham’s wife!

• It happens like in Egypt!

• But God doesn’t strike Abimelech because he has an honest heart!

• But he warns him in a dream!

• And God tells Abimelech to tell Abraham to pray for him!

• Here again we see the same situation as in the case of Egypt!

• But God acts differently depending on people’s attitude!

• Once again God's balance!

 

[JLG]

9) Cold or Hot Anger?

• Coming back to Genesis 20, in fact, God had made all the women of the house of Abimelech barren!

• Thus Abraham had to pray for Abimelech and his house!
• And as usual he would receive many gifts!

• Sheep and cattle and servants and 1,000 pieces of silver!

• In genesis 38, Er, Judah’s firstborn is wicked and God puts him to death!

• Once again we get God’s balance, Er is put to death because of his bad actions!

10) Cold or Hot Anger?

• God frees Israel from Egypt!

• But before he strikes Egypt with the ten plagues!

• When Pharaoh pursues Israel, the Egyptians are drown in the sea!

• Egypt pays for what they have done to Israel!

• And Pharaoh is put in his place!

• As usual God’s balance!

• It doesn’t matter how long it takes!

• Nobody can escape!
