How does it go your wrath? Tearing perpetually or it has place inside you for Jesus’ pity?
• Amo 1:11,12 -> “Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever: but I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.”.
In the case of Edomites, they opted for pursuing Israel with the sword instead of exercising mercy. It isn’t in vain that the Creator chose them as vessel of His wrath.
• Mal 1:2-3 -> “I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, and I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.”.
• Rom 9:10-13 -> “And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth
it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.”.
Considering that our answer of love is consequence of Jesus’ love for us (1John 4:19), if He hated Esau, this is what they would be able to live. When the Creator projected them, He saw that Esau would be more appropriate to live as a vessel of His wrath:
• Rom 9:22,23 -> “What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory”.
Ishmael was chosen in similar situation:
• Gen 16:12 -> “And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”.
And about us? Do we live loving and being loved or hating and being hated?
• Tit 3:3 -> “For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.”.
Perhaps you are questioning: “but, and if the Creator projected me to be wrath vessel, nothing can change this.
Well, do you like to hate? What do you prefer? To see the mercy of the Creator changing lives or His judgment falling on the head of the transgressors? If your delight is to see the suffering of the wicked, probably you are a great candidate for being a wrath vessel.
If not, have a good day filling your heart of wisdom and your lips, of sweetness:
• Pro 16:21 -> “The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.”.
• Amo 1:11,12 -> “Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever: but I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.”.
