a) The motion in the language: The ongoing unveiling of God’s wrath (Apocalipsis) From heaven -> the place of God’s dwelling b) The Subject: The wrath of God. I do not have the language or the mind to abstract the meaning of this concept. God’s passionate abhorring, His hot displeasure and His ultimate rejection of the ungodliness of people. All of this coming from an infinite being. c) God’s Wrath is Provoked Watson’s illustration of the bee’s honey versus the sting By ungodliness: disregard for what is good / irreverence By unrighteousness: disregard for what is right
d) The Effects of ungodliness and unrighteousness. Suppressing the truth in unrighteousness A nautical term: to maintain course or steer in a certain direction In context, to purposely steer against the truth.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed… against all ungodliness & unrighteousness
II - Why? a) Because of Truth-Suppressing unrighteousness 19-because that which is known about God is evident. 20 For since… creation … His attributes have been clearly seen …so that they are without excuse.
b) Because of Arrogance-Driven Rebellion 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 And exchanged the glory of … God for an image
III – God’s Anger shown in a Terrible Consequence 24 Therefore God gave them over 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped the creature rather than the Creator
