Examples of god's wrath in the new testament

While God's wrath is not as explicitly described in the New Testament as it is in the Old Testament, there are still several examples of God's wrath being expressed or fulfilled in the New Testament. Here are a few examples:

  1. The destruction of Jerusalem (Matthew 22:7, Luke 19:41-44) - Jesus weeps over the city, lamenting that if only its inhabitants had recognized God's messengers, they would not have experienced the destruction that was about to come.
  2. The destruction of the temple (Matthew 24:1-2, Mark 13:1-2, Luke 21:5-6) - Jesus prophesies the destruction of the temple, which occurred in 70 AD, as a result of the Jews' rejection of Jesus and their failure to recognize God's messengers.
  3. The judgment of the Pharisees (Matthew 23:13-36) - Jesus pronounces a series of woes against the Pharisees, warning them of God's judgment for their hypocrisy and failure to follow God's law.
  4. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Luke 17:26-30) - Jesus uses the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah to illustrate the importance of repentance and the consequences of not repenting.
  5. The judgment of the nations (Matthew 25:31-46) - Jesus describes a future judgment in which nations will be judged based on their treatment of the poor, the hungry, the stranger, the naked, the sick, and the prisoner.
  6. The destruction of the wicked (2 Thessalonians 1:6-9) - Paul writes that God will repay those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel with eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.
  7. The judgment of the wicked at the end of the age (2 Peter 3:7-13) - Peter writes that God will judge the world in fire and that the wicked will be destroyed, while the righteous will be saved.
  8. The destruction of the wicked in the wilderness (Hebrews 3:7-11) - The author of Hebrews quotes Psalm 95:7-11, which describes the destruction of the Israelites in the wilderness as a result of their disobedience and rebellion against God.
  9. The judgment of the wicked at the return of Christ (Revelation 6:17, 19:15) - John writes that at the return of Christ, God will judge the world and destroy those who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

It's worth noting that while God's wrath is a reality in the New Testament, it is not the primary focus of the New Testament message. The New Testament emphasizes God's love, mercy, and redemption through Jesus Christ, and the importance of living a life that is pleasing to God.
