GIVING GLORY TO GOD: WRATH OF GOD PRAISING, WORSHIPPING GOD?

NOT GIVING GLORY TO GOD: UNREPENTING BABYLON?

Re 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to GIVE HIM GLORY.

Mal 2:2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to GIVE GLORY unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.

SUMMARY CONCLUSION:

When it comes to giving glory to God, God seems to focus quite a bit on the beast that is Babylon praising God in the Day of Judgment. Christ is revealed in judgment as He uses the unsaved church to destroy itself. On the salvation side, Christ is the Glory of God as He redeems the Elect from Babylon. However, God is also glorified through the judgment that He executes.
