Oh, how dark is the sin of blasphemy. I think if God would not restrain
the angels, every one of your co-workers who has ever blasphemed would
die as quick as the blade of a cherubim could fly. Can you imagine the
fierce anger of the angels of God towards those who blaspheme his holy
name? They have loved their God for at least six thousand years.

How much do you think they would get angry if they see you blaspheme his
holy name? And yet God restrains his anger. Perhaps many of us have been
blasphemers in our words, have misused the name of God. God stood his
angels back and he says, wait.

And the angel says, good, you're going to strike him down? That Paul
there deserves the fiery strike of the Almighty. And God says, no, I'm
going to send my son to die and receive that strike that he deserves so
that Paul can go free.
