Question

Read the excerpt from "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." The bow of God's wrath is bent . . . It is nothing but the mere pleasure of God, and that of an angry God, without any promise or obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood. In this excerpt, the word "wrath" suggests that God wants to destroy the reader. God is eager to wage war. God is fiercely angry. God is feeling extreme grief.

Explanation:

The noun "wrath" means extreme anger or indignation. In this excerpt, God is angry, but it is not revealed toward whom. The speaker talks of God bending a bow, the bow of His wrath. That means God is fiercely angry and could, at any moment He desires to, attack, punish, or take revenge. This is not about war or about the reader. This is "an angry God" whose "mere pleasure" is what keeps Him from killing us all.
