The Final Wrath of God, Part 1 (Revelation 15:1–2) John MacArthur

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical theme of God's wrath and divine judgment, drawing extensively on Old Testament references to demonstrate how God's anger against sin is a consistent and serious theological reality throughout human history. The speaker uses multiple scriptural passages from Genesis, Samuel, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and other books to illustrate different manifestations of divine judgment, ranging from immediate consequences to ultimate eternal punishment. While acknowledging various forms of God's wrath (such as sowing and reaping, cataclysmic, and abandonment), the sermon ultimately emphasizes that the most terrifying aspect is not human actions but God's righteous judgment, with a central message that sinners will be held accountable, but also that God desires repentance over punishment.
