The Wrath of God: The Most Misunderstood Idea in the Bible

For centuries, Christians have been told that the “wrath of God” means God personally unleashes violence and punishment on humanity. This view has left many fearful, confused, and even resentful of God’s character.

But what if we’ve gotten it completely wrong?

In this course, we’ll journey from Genesis to Revelation to uncover what the Bible actually teaches about the wrath of God. Far from portraying God as an angry destroyer, Scripture reveals something radically different: wrath is not God striking us down, but God stepping back. When people persistently reject His guidance, God honors their freedom — and the tragic vacuum leaves space for destructive powers to rush in.

This changes everything. Instead of painting God as the problem, it exposes how human choices and dark powers bring suffering. And it restores God’s reputation as a God of love, not violence.

If you’ve ever struggled with how the Bible could call God “love” while also describing Him as “wrathful,” this course is for you. You’ll discover that wrath is not divine aggression — it is divine withdrawal, and understanding this truth will transform how you read Scripture, how you see judgment, and how you see God Himself.

Join me on this journey. You may never look at the Bible — or God — the same way again.
