49. He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, andindignation, and trouble. His last arrow was the
sharpest. Blow followed blow, each one more staggering than its predecessor,
and then the crushing stroke was reserved for the end. By sending evil angels among them. Messengers of evil entered their houses at midnight, and
smote the dearest objects of their love. The angels were evil to them, though
good enough in themselves; those who to the heirs of salvation are ministers of
grace, are to the heirs of wrath executioners of judgment. When God sends
angels, they are sure to come, and if he bids them slay they will not spare.
See how sin sets all the powers of heaven against people; they have no friend
left in the universe when God is their enemy.
