Has God poured out His wrath in the last 2,000 years?
No, God has not poured out His wrath during the last 2,000 years. For nearly that period, He has not been pouring out wrath. This is the age of grace, and even to the ungodly God deals in grace, not judgment or wrath. Catastrophes and disasters are not His wrath; even the flood was not His wrath but mercy.
Les explains that verse 18 shows the other side of the coin: God is also a God of wrath. But he stresses that for nearly 2,000 years, God has not been pouring out wrath whatsoever. We are in the age of grace, and even to the ungodly world and those steeped in wickedness, God is still dealing in grace, not judgment or wrath. Things like catastrophes, earthquakes, and disasters may occur to get man's attention, but they are not the wrath of God. Even the flood was not His wrath; God was brokenhearted over a world filled with violence, and the flood was an act of mercy to unborn generations, a cleansing of the slate and starting over, and it was almost instantaneous destruction.
