First Sentence
In this verse, the vengeance of God is threatened on the wicked, unbelieving Israelites, who were God's visible people and who lived under the means of grace, but who, notwithstanding all God's wonderful works toward them, remained "void of counsel," having no understanding in them (verse 28).

God in the Hands of Angry sinners,
By Dan Glover (Northern Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sinners In The Hands Of Angry (Paperback)
I would challenge and encourage some of the other reviewers of this great, loving, gracious and merciful sermon (what else could a timely warning about the truth of God's judgement toward unrepentant sinners be called) who have found it so odious to their sensativities, to read the Bible...THE WHOLE BIBLE. They have created a God in their own image and defined love by their own standards rather than turning to Scripture itself to see there a three times Holy God. It is not loving to fail to tell people of their eternal destiny if they continue to walk in sin and fail to turn to Christ in repentance to receive his grace.When a man's house is on fire, it is loving to break in, grab him by the collar and yell in his face that he must get out or burn to death. Much of today's preaching might be compared to attempts to sell a vacuum cleaner to someone whose house is on fire. He doesn't need a vacuum cleaner, he needs to get out of his house! May God bless His church with more preachers like this in OUR day; men who have the courage to speak the truth to a people who are under the wrath of God and awaiting His judgement so that they might call on the name of the Lord and be rescued. Read John 3:16,...... now read John 3:17-18

The most famous sermon in American history,
By Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME)
This review is from: Edward's Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God (Paperback)
Along with John Cotton and George Whitfield, Jonathan Edwards was one of the most important preachers in American history. The grandson of Solomon Stoddard, the famous revivalist preacher from Northampton, Massachusetts, Edwards entered Yale in 1716 at the age of thirteen and received his first ministry in New York at the age of nineteen. In 1729, at the age of twenty-six, he succeeded his grandfather at the important Northampton Church, where he preached the need for a return to the rock-ribbed Calvinism upon which the "New World" had been founded. The Calvinist creed entailed absolute and unquestioned commitment to beliefs in the total depravity of man as a sinner, unconditional election, predestination, divine revelation and conversion, and eternal suffering for sinners. Edward's ministry had an immediate and dramatic effect, increasing the size of his church, producing over four hundred converts by 1734. The Northampton Revival foreshadowed The Great Awakening--the popular religious movement of 1740-1741 based on the idea that "opening of the spirit to the divine" was more important than a trained intellect--that rocked the very foundations of colonial society.Edward's most famous sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," was delivered as a guest sermon to the parish in Enfield, Connecticut, on July 8, 1741, at the very peak of The Great Awakening. Edward's text for the sermon was Deuteronomy 32:35: "Their foot shall slide in due time." Edwards, who typically spoke in an unemotional and relatively plain style, took advantage of the recent prophecy of the end of the world that no doubt weighed upon his listeners minds. Reaching to the depths of his emotional spirit, he preached a sermon designed to terrify his audience into conversion. He did this by carefully drawing upon his listener's belief in the inevitability of eternal suffering for sinners, and by vividly characterizing the vengeful God who would dangle them over the burning pits of hellfire as if they were nothing more than a spider or a "loathsome insect." The powerful spider imagery may well find its genesis in Edward's 1734 book "The Justice of God in the Damnation of Sinners," where he developed similar imagery when he wrote of man as "A little wretched, despicable creature: a worm, a mere nothing, and less than nothing; a vile insect that has risen up in contempt against the majesty of Heaven and earth." The effect of the sermon was astonishing, with parishioners crying out for "mercy," and several reports of suicide. Perhaps more than any other sermon delivered during the 18th Century, "Sinners" epitomizes the emotional intensity and power of the revivalist message of The Great Awakening. After reading this sermon do not be surprised if you conclude it is as powerful today as it was in 1741.

This review is from: Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God (Paperback)
this is the greatest american sermon that will probably ever be. jonathan edwards is by-far the greatest american preacher in the history of this continent, since its westernization. it may be small but for anyone who is or is not a calvinist you will definitely be one after you read this.
