Learning to love the wrath of God in Scripture

Every good thing is possible with God. I discovered that principle by
reading and learning to appreciate the message of God in Old Testament
scriptures. And I also learned that the New Testament confirms and
reaffirms the same truth.

Too many sincere Christian believers avoid reading much from the Old
Testament Scriptures. When they do try to read the OT, especially in some
of the prophets, they often find it difficult to make their way through all
the "judgment" passages.

For example, the first 10 chapters of the prophet Isaiah are filled with
warnings and promises of doom. Sins and attitudes are listed and reasons
are given for the coming wrath of God.

But of course that's not all that's given. We are also promised a Messiah,
the birth of Jesus Himself. In the 14th verse of chapter 7, we read:
"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall
conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. (NKJV)"
Immanuel (or Emmanuel), Matthew
