5. God’s wrath is literal, but the description
of how the judgment is to be executed is
figurative. We can debate what John had in
mind when he spoke of hail and fire and
rivers of blood, but we can hardly debate
the meaning of God’s judgment.

14. “We are a nation of little Pharaohs and
Caesars, with each person intent on ordering
his or her own private universe. But we are not
the masters of the universe we think we
are….Earth dwellers can either humble
themselves before the Living God or harden
their hearts the way Pharaoh did.”
