Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure and hostility.

- Why will a King be Angry?


(1) Unloyal subjects: The first out the ten commandments borders on  loyalty  Ex 20:3 THOU SHALL NOT SERVE ANY GOD BESIDES ME. Are we still loyal to our king?


 (2) Injustice: Ps 89:14a Says Justice and Judgment are the habitation of thy throne, King David when he received the message from the king of kings stating His displeasure on the injustice done in his kingdom, passed a judgment on himself 2sam 12v5. Are we using throne and other other privileges that God gave us justly?


(3) Disobedience: This king permitted the children of Israel to runaway and be killed.

(4) Encroachment: Just like king Edom replied the children of Israel who wanted to pass through his land so will God when anyone touches what and who is His. Num 20:17. Ps 105:15 says Touch not mine anointed and do my prophet no harm. King Herod did not live to tell the story as he eneroached on God's space (glory) Acts 12:23. Mark 12:17 says And Jesus answering said unto them, render to ceaser the things that are ceaser's and to God the things that are God's.  Some things| persons are for God, may we not be found kicking against the pircks Act 9:4-6.


- Conclusion:- God is our king and the bible says in Ps 7:11b and God is angry with the wicked everyday,  there is no wickedness that is greater than the rejection of the atonement and salvation that brought divinity to humanity,  rejecting and belittling the work of the cross this will lead to full blown anger of God Hell. Don't be a candidate of God's anger, no human can bear it.
