A term used to describe actions taken by God, the Father, in reaction to evil. Past examples include the Great Flood and the Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
In terms of the End Times, the Wrath of God is a reference to the 7 Bowl Judgements and the 7 Trumpets described in Revelation 6 to Revelation 18--a period of time known as the Great Tribulation, that begins with Jesus opening a seven-sealed book in Heaven (Revelation: 6:1);
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
Following the opening of the seven seals by Christ, the wrath of God is poured out on the earth by seven angels (Revelation 16:1):
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
NOTE: In some translations, vials is used in place of bowls.
