One of the twists of truth that we find in some peoples minds and some books is that Jesus is a different God than Yahweh. It is almost a mantra for God haters. I don’t believe it. God is consistent through eternity. What might give people that strange idea?
As I was pondering that in the dark this morning, it occurred to me that Jesus only had to be patient for three years. That’s what we think His ministry was between His coming out and the crucifixion. If you look at God in the Old Testament as He dealt with Israel, you find that there was amazing patience, which eventually would erupt into punishment. That punishment at times would get very violent and a purge would be upon the disobedient.
But consider how long God waited before He acted. It might be generations. It was always much longer than three years. If Jesus’ ministry on the Earth had been longer than three years then we might’ve seen many more examples of the wrath of God coming from Him. If you look at prophecy, and the end times, you see the other side of Jesus.
Just a speculation and a thought. In three years the only time coming close to violence or wrath that I can think of was the cleansing of the temple. Maybe something else will occur to me.
Be ready for when He returns because you won’t want to be on the wrong end of His wrath.
