Wrath
is great and permanent anger (q.v.). The wrath of God is his indignation at sin and punishment of it. “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness!’ (Rom 1:18) The objects of God’s anger or wrath are the ungodly, whom he has declared he will punish. His wrath is sometimes manifested in this life, and that in an awful degree, as we see in the case of the old world, of Sodom and Gomorrah, the plagues of Egypt, the punishment and captivity of the Jews, and the many striking judgments on nations and individuals. But a still more awful punishment awaits the impenitent in the world to come, for the wicked, it is said, shall go away into everlasting punishment (Mat 25:46), where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched (see Rom 2:8-9).

WRATH
Gods attitude of opposition to all that is evil is usually called his wrath, or anger. The wrath of human beings is inconsistent and, because of the effects of sin in their nature, may express itself in outbursts of bad temper (Jam 1:20; see ANGER). Gods wrath is consistent and pure. It is his holy, righteous and just reaction to sin the only proper reaction for one who is himself holy, righteous and just (Exo 32:9-10; Jer 21:12; Nah 1:2; Nah 1:6; Mar 3:5; Joh 2:14-17; Rom 1:18; Heb 12:29). God, as the supreme judge, can neither take pleasure in sin nor ignore it. Therefore, all people, being sinners, are the objects of his wrath (Psa 7:11; Eph 2:3; Col 3:5-6).
However, God takes no pleasure in punishing sin. He is longsuffering towards sinners, and gives them the opportunity to repent of their sin and ask his forgiveness (Eze 33:11; Eze 33:14-16; 2Pe 3:9; see PATIENCE). Many mistakenly think that because God does not immediately act against them in judgment, they have escaped his judgment. They may even think that God is as carefree about sin as they are, and so they sin all the more. But they only guarantee for themselves a more severe judgment when Gods wrath finally falls upon them (2Ch 36:16; Psa 50:19-21; Psa 78:37-40; Ecc 8:11; Rom 2:4-6).
The final great outpouring of Gods wrath will take place at the close of the age, when Jesus Christ returns in power and glory to execute judgment on the ungodly (Rom 2:5; 2Th 1:7-10; Rev 6:17; Rev 14:10; Rev 14:19; Rev 19:11-16). Gods people will not experience this wrath, for they have been saved from it through Jesus Christ (1Th 1:10; 1Th 5:9). Jesus, in bearing their sin, has borne Gods wrath on their behalf (Rom 5:9; 2Co 5:21; 1Pe 2:24). But those who refuse to trust in Jesus as their substitute must bear Gods wrath themselves (Joh 3:36). (For a fuller discussion on the relationship between Gods love and Gods wrath see PROPITIATION.)

Wrath
The wrath of God against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men is plainly declared in scripture, and will surely fall upon the children of disobedience. Rom 1:18; Col 3:6. The fierceness of that wrath is spoken of. Rev 16:19. How vain then for the false teachers to speak only of the love of God, and to say that because ‘God is love’ there will be mercy for all eventually. There is grace for all now , but there is as surely a day of wrath coming, for God is righteous.
