Ezekiel 38
HOW TO MAKE GOD ANGRY

Do you want to know how to make God really angry? I mean really, really angry – way beyond annoyed or frustrated. This is the way to do it: curse, attack and become an enemy of his people Israel. There are a lot of people making God really angry at the moment.

How do I know this is what makes God angry? Listen to this verse: “This is what will happen in that day: when Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign Lord.” (Ezekiel 38 v 18). Then the prophecy goes on to describe the ultimate punishments that will be brought on Gog and everyone with him for their attacks on Israel.

God’s attitude toward Israel is first shown in Genesis 12, where God says to Abram, the father of Israel, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse.” (Genesis 12 v 3). So God’s attitude runs two ways: those who are against Israel stir up his hot anger, but those who bless and support them obtain his blessing.

Of course, none of us want to face the hot anger of the God of the universe. I can’t think of anything worse. So let’s take on the same attitude that God has toward his people Israel. Let’s pray for them, bless them and look forward to the day of blessing when their Messiah comes to save both Israel and us.

May we be found praying for the peace of Jerusalem and for the return of Jesus today and every day.
