Hebrews uses the term “wrath” twice and both times it is a quotation from Psalm 95:11:

A text that reveals how important “historical” wrath is for the earliest Christians, and this use is characteristic of the OT and Judaism, is found in 1 Thessalonians 1:10:

Two texts today, one from Ephesians 5:6 and the other from Colossians 3:6, are considered:

We are testing a hypothesis, namely, this one: Does “wrath” refer only to “historical” events in history, the negative implications of doing things contrary to God’s will, or does it also refer to “evangelistic” wrath (threatening with wrath when evangelizing) or “eternal” wrath (an endless state of the damned)? Our text today is illuminating.
