TrevorL,
Thank you for the civilness of your postings towards me, I truly appreciate it. There are many places where you can find the phrase 'wrath of God' in the NT.
Romans has it 4 times; 1:18, 2:5, 9:22, and 13:4.
Ephesians has it once, 5:6.
Colossians has it once, 3:6.
1 Thessalonians has it once, 2:16.
Revelation has it six times; 14:10, 14:19, 15:7, 16:1, 16:19, and 19:15.
Every instance where this phrase 'wrath of God' is found in the NT, it has to do with God's judgment toward sinners and their sins.
Look at the Colossians passage where Paul wrote Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.[vss 5,6] It is because of these works of the flesh, carnal lusts, that God's wrath will be poured out.
Then in Ephesians, Paul writes pretty close to the same thing he did to Colossae when he wrote But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them.[5:3-7]
Then the six passages in Revelation all deal with God's judgment of sin by pouring out His wrath upon the disobedient.
