The final judgment announced by the prophets (Is 28:17; Ezk 13:13; 38:22; Rev 8:7; 11:19; 16:21) is shown here using apocalyptic language (Isa 24-26; Ezek 38ff; Am 8:8ff). God appears as a warrior with all of creation fighting alongside Him. The Bible contains many instances in which God is depicted as filled with vengeance and wrath against His enemies. How can this be? Some often say these texts reflect outdated thinking. However, another view is also possible: all human feelings—love, hate, work, leisure, and so on—can be directed toward God. The key is to set aside selfishness and find purpose in everything for him.
