Summary

The wrath of God is not as a threat, but a reality Scripture refuses to ignore. And surprisingly, that’s where the good news sharpens. The promise is clear: those who turn from sin and embrace Christ by faith will be delivered from the wrath to come. Delivered from what, exactly? Before Christmas teaching begins next week, this message reframes the season entirely. The first coming of Jesus only makes sense when you understand what He came to rescue us from — and what is still ahead. If you’ve ever wondered why grace is so costly, or why the gospel is more than comfort, this teaching will stretch you in the best way. Watch the full teaching and open Revelation 8 for yourself Dr. James MacDonald preaches without apology straight from the pages of Scripture, provoking Christians to think and act on their faith.

0:13.6	Kathy and I are very excited about this weekend in downtown Chicago. But we've got a not very Christmassy message coming away. It's called
0:22.0	the wrath of God, Revelation chapter 8. And we're going to go all Christmassy after this
0:28.2	weekend. I'll have a special Christmas greeting for you and some special Christmas
0:32.7	teaching that's centered around the first advent of Jesus Christ.
0:42.3	But for right now, it is actually good news because God has promised that those who have turned from their sin and embrace Christ by faith

1:03.8	Revelation 8. Got my R's mixed up. Forgive me, Revelation 8. Yeah, for the time I've spent in it this week, I should know it is
1:12.3	Revelation chapter 8. Let me begin with this clear statement. I believe in the pre-rath
1:19.2	rapture of the church, not the pre-7 years rapture, because Scripture promises with us,
1:26.4	scripture promises us deliverance, not from the wrath of man, not from the wrath of nature,
1:32.3	not from the wrath of Satan.
1:35.3	Scripture does clearly promise us deliverance from the wrath of God.
1:39.3	Revelation chapter 6 finishes this way, read it with me.
1:44.2	Verse 15, then the kings of the earth are the great ones and the generals and the rich and powerful and everyone's slave and free hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, fall on us, hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne and from the wrath of the lamb.
2:01.6	We're saying a lot today about the love of God.
2:05.0	The love of God can reach anyone anywhere during the day of grace.
