I believe we face God's anger when He decides that His divine anger is what we need at a given time. I believe the term "the day of wrath" is misunderstood if it's believed to mean a certain day, a "one-day event" day, when God lines everybody up and "has His way" with the ungodly.

I believe we face God's wrath when He uses dire measures to correct us. I believe God corrected David for the things David did that angered God. I believe He punished others, who were not in covenant with God, for doing the same thing David had done.

I believe "The Day of Wrath" shouldn't be capitalized. I believe it applies to every day we live. Romans 2:5 -- "You're storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgments will be revealed."

What are we to call death in our family? Isn't such a day "a day of God's righteous judgment?" How about if someone flies two planes into 2 New York skyline buildings, killing 2,753 people?

I call such a day 'A day of the wrath of God.' (I used these extreme examples to make a point. If I'd used a person being involved in a "fender bender," my point wouldn't hit home.)

I don't believe God will use His wrath as an epilogue to this life. I believe the estimated 150 to 170 thousand deaths every day on planet earth are souls who experience "The Day of Judgment" talked about in Scripture. I believe it's a never-ending process, going on right now as I write this. The fact that it's "around the clock" makes it a one-time event.
