God is eternal and what God was he still is. He is the creator, father, and judge of mankind. What god did in the past he will do again if mankind again falls totally into darkness. When God decides to rectify our errors there is no action or lie from Satan that will prevent his righteous wrath.
There is no old Testement GOD or New Testement GOD, there is onl_the ELOHIEM of the Bible.
The New Testament God of wrath and vengeance is set to make an appearance soon enough:
“And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh” (Revelation 19:15-21).
Oh, let me introduce Him to you . . . His name is Jesus Christ.
They no longer fear God or his wrath. They have made themselves god.
Be careful what you wish for!
He’ll be back, bet on it!
He had spent the day in the studio with Lenny Kravitz and mentioned it to his daughter when he got home: "You were with LENNY KRAVITZ! That is sooo cool!!"
Randy said hey, you're dad is Randy Bachman, I'm not exactly chopped liver here.

God doesn’t change. The OT God is the same God He always has been. None of His attitudes on anything, have changed.
The OT God was also the one who had a plan to save all of us through God the Son, Jesus Christ.
Excellent article.
Somewhat tongue in cheek, but he does get the point across and I agree with him 100%.
AMOS 5:18
18Woe to you who long for the Day of the LORD! What will the Day of the LORD be for you? It will be darkness and not light.
19It will be like a man who flees from a lion, only to encounter a bear, or who enters his house and rests his hand against the wall, only to be bitten by a snake.
God is the same yesterday today and always. There is no “OT” different from the NT God.
Don’t worry....God has not changed nor will He change.
Psalm 2 (thought it was worth posting the entire chapter - don’t worry, He’s coming!)
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Oh, He’s returning. Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that HE IS ALMIGHTY LORD!
This is essentially an imprecatory letter. The Bible is full of imprecatory prayers, chiefly in 14 Psalms.

He need not worry. Justice is coming. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
