The Wrath Of God

"Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made." & "The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days."  Genesis 7:4 & 7:24

God told Noah that He was going wipe the face of the earth clean with a flood of water.  Only Noah's family and the animals in the ark were spared from the wrath of God.  (Genesis 7:23)

Being very displeased with the wicked sinful activities of man, God let the entire earth feel His wrath.  (Genesis 6:5-8)  Unfortunately, man has not changed and the earth will again feel the wrath of God.  This earth will be destroyed and a new earth will be created in which the righteous will dwell.  (2 Peter 3:13 & Revelation 21:1)  However, God promised that He will never again destroy the earth with waters of a flood.  (Genesis 9:11)  The experts cannot agree on the exact nature of the next destruction of earth, but The Bible clearly states that the earth will "melt with fervent heat ... and ... it will be burned up."  (2 Peter 3:10) Believers will not be around to see this, they will have been raptured.  (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18)  Will you be spared from the wrath of God the next time that the earth is destroyed?
