Salvation to the Lord our God
symbolizes an acknowledgment and confession
that salvation is made possible by the Lord.
Glory and honor to the Lord our God
symbolizes an acknowledgment and confession
that the Lord is the source
of Divine truth and Divine good,
thus that these are received from Him.
Power to the Lord our God
symbolizes an acknowledgment and confession
that the power is the Lord's.
AR 806
Anger and revenge are attributed to the Lord
when evil people are separated from the good
and cast into hell,
as happens at the time of a last judgment.
That time is therefore called
wrath and a day of wrath, and a day of vengeance.
Not that the Lord is angry or vengeful,
but that those people are angry at the Lord
and filled with vengeance against Him.
The case is like that of a criminal
after sentence has been passed,
who is angry at the law
and filled with vengeance against the judge.
For the law is not angry,
nor is the judge taking revenge.
