Who is God?
Category: Definition & Meaning
The Lord is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and wrath. He takes revenge on all who oppose Him and continues to rage against His enemies!” Nahum 1: 2
That is to say God does not accept idolatry in any form. He is jealous and will harm those who worship any other god(s) apart from Him.
Why is He angry? He is angry because He is the Creator of you and He demands that you worship Him and only Him and no other god(s).
“The Lord is slow to get angry, but His power is great and He never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays His power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath His feet”
Though God may allow the wicked to enjoy his wicked ways for a long time but He will surely punish the wicked.
Yes because He is the Creator of all things; “At His command the oceans dry up and the rivers disappears. The lush pastures of Bashan and camel fade and the green forests of Lebanon wither”
In his presence the mountains quake, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles, and its people are destroyed.
When the Lord is angry, “who can stand before his fierce anger? Who can survive His burning fury. His rage blazes forth like fire and the mountains crumble to dust in His presence”
Who is God? “The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in Him. But He will sweep away His enemies in an overwhelming flood. He will pursue His foes into the darkness of night”
