Hello you,
Here is few interesting questions for you.
Did Jesus Christ pay for all sin of the whole world?
If Jesus Christ did pay for all of the sin of the whole world, is God still angry at sin?
Did Jesus Christ receive the wrath of God? If the answer is no.
Was the wrath of God poured out on the nation of Israel?
Do you remember when Jesus Christ said to his disciples that this generation shall not pass away until everything he had spoken about comes to pass?
Thoughts, questions?
God bless and take care!
If this was placed in the wrong forum will you please take a moment and move it to the correct forum, my apologizes, have a great day!
Good questions. Lets see what we can do with them.
1.
YES.
2.
YES, God does get angry. As God cannot sin, we know that His anger is righteous, unlike the common experience of anger in ourselves. As
James 1:20 says, “Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.”
3.
YES. He was an object of wrath. But not just of Roman and Jewish wrath; in fact, not mainly of Roman and Jewish wrath (John 19:11). Jesus was primarily the object of his Father’s wrath — the most just, righteous, and terrible wrath there is. And he became that object willingly, even when his every human impulse longed for escape (Mark 14:36). It’s the very reason he came.

I am not old enough to remember that....but I have read that He said exactly that.
You stated........"
'this generation will not pass'?"
Jesus said in Matthew 24:34........
“Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.”
The things that Jesus had been speaking of—the rise of the Antichrist, the desolation of the Holy Place, and the darkening of the sun—
did not happen during the lifespan of people alive in Jesus’ day. Obviously, Jesus meant something different when He spoke of “this generation.”
The key to understanding what Jesus meant by “this generation will not pass away until all these things take place” is the context; that is, we must understand the verses that are surrounding the text with the proper CONTEXT, especially the verses prior to it. In Matthew 24:3-31 Jesus is clearly giving a prophecy; He is speaking of
future events. Jesus had already told those living during His earthly ministry that the kingdom had been taken from them in Matthew 21:43. Therefore, it is imperative that Matthew 24:-25 be seen as dealing with a future time.
The generation that Jesus speaks of “not passing” until He returns is a
future generation, namely, the people living when the predicted events occur. The word
generation refers to the people alive in the future when the events of Matt. 24-25 take place.
As of TODAY, the A/C has yet to be revealed, the A/C has not stood in the Temple, the Temple has not in fact been re-built, and the Sun has not been darkened. So we can say with total assurance that those events are still in our FUTURE!
Now just as a side note to help understanding, none of those could have happened until May 14, 1948. That is the day that the U.N. voted to place the Jews back into the land, and changed the name from Palestine to ISRAEL. IMHO.....that is the one event which has started God's countdown to the 2nd Coming of Christ.
