The Wrath of the Great King of Kings

Jonathan Edwards


An excerpt from
"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"
By Jonathan Edwards:

And consider here more particularly several Things concerning that Wrath that you are in such Danger of.

    1.  Whose Wrath it is:  It is the Wrath of the infinite GOD.  If it were only the Wrath of Man, tho' it were of the most potent Prince, it would be comparatively little to be regarded.  The Wrath of Kings is very much dreaded, especially of absolute Monarchs, that have the Possessions and Lives of their Subjects wholly in their Power, to be disposed of at their meer Will.  Prov. 20. 2.  The Fear of a King is as the Roaring of a Lion:  whoso provoketh him to Anger, sinneth against his own Soul.  The Subject that very much enrages an arbitrary Prince, is liable to suffer the most extream Torments, that human Art can invent or human Power can inflict.  But the greatest earthly Potentates, in their greatest Majesty and Strength, and when cloathed in their greatest Terrors, are but feeble despicable Worms of the Dust, in Comparison of the great  and almighty Creator and King of Heaven and Earth:  It is but little that they can do, when most enraged, and when they have exerted the utmost of their Fury.  All the Kings of the Earth before GOD are as Grashoppers, they are nothing and less than nothing:  Both their Love and their Hatred is to be despised.  The Wrath of the great King of Kings is as much more terrible than their's, as his Majesty is greater.  Luke 12.  4,5.  And I say unto you my Friends, be not afraid of them that kill the Body, and after that have no more that they can do:  But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear; fear him, which after he hath killed, hath Power to cast into Hell; yea I say unto you, fear him.

Sarah Pierrepont (1723)

Sarah Edwards

Sarah Pierrepont (1723)
By Jonathan Edwards

"They say there is a young lady in [New Haven] who is beloved of that Great Being, who made and rules the world, and that there are certain seasons in which this Great Being, in some way or other invisible, comes to her and fills her mind with exceeding sweet delight; and that she hardly cares for any thing, except to meditate on him---that she expects after a while to be received up where he is, to be raised up out of the world and caught up into heaven; being assured that he loves her too well to let her remain at a distance from him always.  There she is to dwell with him, and to be ravished with love and delighted forever.  Therefore, if you present all the world before her, with the richest of its treasures, she disregards it and cares not for it, and is unmindful of any pain or affliction; is most just and conscientious in all her conduct; and you could not persuade her to do any thing wrong or sinful, if you would give her all the world, lest she should offend this Great Being.  She is of a wonderful sweetness, calmness, and universal benevolence of mind; especially after this Great God has manifested himself to her mind.  She will sometimes go about from place to place, singing sweetly; and seems to be always full of joy and pleasure; and no one knows for what.  She loves to be alone, walking in the fields and groves, and seems to have some one invisible always conversing with her."

Martyred for Christ



Martyrs Mirror
The Story of Seventeen Centuries of Christian Martyrdom, From the Time of Christ to A.D. 1660

By Thieleman J. van Braght


Page 134:  FOUR GOD-FEARING WOMEN, NAMELY, TWO CALLED AMMONARIA, AND MERCURIA AND DIONYSIA, BEHEADED AT ALEXANDRIA, FOR THE CONFESSION OF JESUS CHRIST, ABOUT THE YEAR 253

"At this time, God also wonderfully manifested His power in certain women, among whom four are mentioned by name, two called Ammonaria, and Mercuria and Dionysia.  The last named two were aged women, one of them being the mother of many children, all of whom she nevertheless had forsaken, for Christ's sake. The other two, as it appears, were unmarried persons or young maidens, who loved their heavenly bridegroom, Jesus Christ, too much, to look for an earthly one.  Of all these it is stated that they remained so steadfast in the confession of Jesus Christ, that the Judge felt ashamed on this account, and, in order to put an end to the matter had them beheaded."

God Will Draw the Wicked into Cities Marked for Destruction

Henry Gruver


God Will Draw the Wicked into Cities Marked for Destruction

Proverbs 29: 2:  "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice:  but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." 

[This added 3 May 2021:  The Democrat-ruined cities in the United States in 2020 & 2021 are excellent examples of evil destroying the wicked.  Psalm 34:21:  "Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate."  The wicked expose themselves; the wicked destroy themselves.]
