In Joshua 7:1 God’s anger burns against the people of Israel when some among them “broke faith in regard to the devoted things” by stealing from the spoils of battle that were to have been devoted (or kept holy) to God. In Jeremiah 44:8 it is again idolatry that provokes God to anger. In Deuteronomy 6:14-15, Israel is warned to not pursue other gods, “for the Lord your God in your midst is a jealous God, lest the anger of your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.”Īnd God later became angry with Solomon “because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel” (1 Ki 11:9). One of the primary reasons for God’s anger is his desire for faithfulness from his people. God demands the exclusive worship of his people. In Deuteronomy 9 we see that Moses had been “afraid of the anger and hot displeasure that the Lord bore against so that he was ready to destroy. Here we see “Moses’s anger burned hot” against Israel when he discovered them dancing around the golden calf. It would be helpful to look at some of the reasons that the Lord gets angry:Īfter the Exodus, while Moses was up on the mountain meeting with God, the Israelites convinced Aaron to make them an idol to worship.
