In a biblical context, it often involves the appeasement of God's wrath or the calming of human anger through repentance, prayer, or righteous action. While the specific word "mollified" may not appear frequently in the Bible, the concept is prevalent throughout Scripture.<br><br><b>Biblical Instances and Themes</b><br><br>1. <b>Appeasement of God's Wrath</b>: The Bible frequently depicts God as a righteous judge whose wrath can be mollified through genuine repentance and obedience. In the Old Testament, the Israelites often faced God's anger due to their disobedience and idolatry. However, when they turned back to God with sincere hearts, His wrath was mollified. For example, in the book of Jonah, the city of Nineveh was spared from destruction when its inhabitants repented, and God relented from the disaster He had planned (<a href="/jonah/3-10.htm">Jonah 3:10</a>).<br><br>2. <b>Intercession and Mediation</b>: The role of intercessors in mollifying God's anger is significant. Moses, for instance, interceded on behalf of the Israelites when they sinned by worshiping the golden calf. His prayers and pleas for mercy mollified God's wrath, and He refrained from destroying them (<a href="/exodus/32-11.htm">Exodus 32:11-14</a>).<br><br>3. <b>Christ as the Ultimate Mediator</b>: In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is portrayed as the ultimate mediator who mollifies God's wrath against sin. Through His sacrificial death on the cross, Jesus appeased God's righteous anger, offering redemption and reconciliation to humanity. <a href="/romans/5-9.htm">Romans 5:9</a> states, "Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him!"<br><br>4. <b>Human Anger and Reconciliation</b>: The Bible also addresses the mollification of human anger. Believers are encouraged to seek peace and reconciliation, reflecting God's own nature. <a href="/ephesians/4-26.htm">Ephesians 4:26-27</a> advises, "Be angry, yet do not sin. Do not let the sun set upon your anger, and do not give the devil a foothold." This passage underscores the importance of resolving anger quickly and peacefully.<br><br>5. <b>Proverbs and Wisdom Literature</b>: The wisdom literature of the Bible often provides guidance on mollifying anger. <a href="/proverbs/15.htm">Proverbs 15:1</a> states, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." This highlights the power of gentle and wise speech in calming disputes and fostering harmony.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The concept of mollification in the Bible underscores the importance of repentance, intercession, and reconciliation in the believer's relationship with God and others. It reflects God's desire for His people to live in harmony with Him and with one another, emphasizing the transformative power of grace and forgiveness. Through Christ's atoning work, believers are called to embody these principles, seeking to mollify anger and promote peace in their communities.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Mollify.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/josephus/the_wars_of_the_jews_or_history_of_the_destruction_of_jerusalem/chapter_9_titus_when_the.htm"><span class="l">Titus when the Jews were not at all <b>Mollified</b> by his Leaving Off <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> CHAPTER 9.
