So Long my friend, and good luck in the Tribulation.Mel Miller said:Friends,
For those who are interested, I should point out that, even in Isa.13:9,13,
the KJ translators also switched (inverted) the translation of THUMOS and ORGAY to honor the "vain tradition of men" since Plato taught that "anger must never be ascribed to God"! Origen honored Plato's philosophy even by acknowledging the antithesis of these two words!! Augustine and early Church Fathers refrained from translating makro-thumia as "long-anger", choosing rather to use the Latin "long-suffering" which, BTW, must continue until the Day of Wrath!!!
God's Wrath (ORGAY) will not be exercised against unrepentant unbelievers prior to the DAY Christ comes to be "glorified in the saints
and to be admired in all who believer"! WHY? Because "all those who
believe ON THAT DAY (including ALL Israel) will be saved!! There is no
escape for those who continue to "blaspheme God"; yet during the
4th and 5th Plagues of God's ANGER, these wicked men have the OPTION
to repent ... while the days of salvation remain!!! Rev.16:9-11.
Your belief in this matter does not determine your salvation, but only how you arrive at your destination. Just as long as He knows what He is talking about is what matters, and we'll know in that day that He did know what He was talking about.
