It is hard to get my mind around the final judgement. What will it be like when God's patience runs out and He releases His wrath on this earth? Reading these verses takes my mind into places it rarely goes. It is hard to think about. 

The bible is full of God's mercy and goodness. It mostly speaks of His patience and love. The entire bible is the story of salvation and redemption. We celebrate God's incarnation. Christmas is all about His coming. It is a time of joy! Then there is judgement! The final chapter. It will be horrible.

Amazingly, the people who will actually experience this judgement and wrath will NOT repent! This chapter records, "the people who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands to stop worshiping demons and idols…they did not repent…" Wow!

Today is the day of salvation. Let's be among those who practice repentance and faith!
