Over the past few months and years I have been observing and recording as many texts as I could find on a full tour of the Bible concerning the the important subjects of the wrath of God and the fire from heaven. These are referred to many times in the Bible and I have felt compelled to uncover the real truth about God. I realized that God's character is consistent throughout the Bible and I needed to perceive every passage and story through the lens of the life of Jesus Christ – the most accurate revelation of God. If any passage seems to make God look different than what is consistent with the more clear revelation of His character in Jesus, then it must be closely examined to see what it really means in its fuller context.

It has been a richly rewarding journey through the Bible and I am ready to share what I have discovered so far. I have organized all of the verses that I have found up to this point into various categories simply based on what the various passages seem to convey. I am sure there are more verses that can and may be added as I learn more, but I want to make these available for research by anyone else interested in pursuing a deeper examination of this topic in their desire to know God and see His character more accurately.

I believe that anyone who chooses to reexamine the typical beliefs about hell, about the fire and wrath of God and related subjects with an open mind and a heart open to know God more accurately will be richly rewarded and surprised at the awesomeness of the truth about God's real feelings about us. This subject cannot be explored without life-changing results. My prayer is that every person who utilizes this resource will indeed be changed dramatically as they see more clearly a God who is passionate in His pursuit of their heart and affections. May the Holy Spirit of God be present as you expose yourself to the presence and passion of your Creator, Lover and Savior.

(Jeremiah 23:19-24) "Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone forth in wrath, even a whirling tempest; It will swirl down on the head of the wicked. The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has performed and carried out the purposes of His heart; in the last days you will clearly understand it. I did not send these prophets, but they ran. I did not speak to them, but they prophesied. But if they had stood in My council, then they would have announced My words to My people, and would have turned them back from their evil way and from the evil of their deeds. Am I a God who is near," declares the LORD, "And not a God far off? Can a man hide himself in hiding places so I do not see him?" declares the LORD. "Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?" declares the LORD. (NAS95)

(Jeremiah 23:28-29) "The prophet who has a dream may relate his dream, but let him who has My word speak My word in truth. What does straw have in common with grain?" declares the LORD. "Is not My word like fire?" declares the LORD, "and like a hammer which shatters a rock?" (NAS95)

(Jeremiah 30:23-24) Behold, the tempest of the LORD! Wrath has gone forth, a sweeping tempest; it will burst on the head of the wicked. The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has performed and until He has accomplished the intent of His heart; in the latter days you will understand this. (NAS95)
