The Wrath of the Lamb
Commentators highlight the shocking phrase "the wrath of the Lamb." The very one who came as a gentle, sacrificial Lamb to redeem humanity is now the source of terrifying judgment. As Matthew Henry notes, this is exceedingly dreadful because if the Redeemer himself is our enemy, there is no one left to plead for us. This reveals that rejecting Christ's love and sacrifice ultimately leads to facing His righteous anger.
