WHY... the Seven Last Plagues? - Herbert W Armstrong - July-August 1955

Herbert W Armstrong

If God is LOVE, why will He punish humanity by sending the frightful plagues depicted so vividly in the Book of Revelation? Many believe that the plagues of Egypt and the seven last plagues constitute the one great exception to the statement: "God is LOVE" A common idea is that God is about to close probation - that the time of salvation will soon be over - that no people can be saved thereafter. Then, according to this conception, a God of Wrath will glut his rage and revengeful passion by pouring our vials of torture upon defenseless, helpless heads. A doomed humanity will suffer the most excruciating pains imaginable. This is a PAGAN conception of a god capable of all the base passions of degraded men. This concept is not true! - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
