In the context of <a href="/psalms/90.htm">Psalm 90</a>, attributed to Moses, it acknowledges the consequences of Israel's disobedience during their wilderness journey. The term "consumed" suggests a complete and overwhelming experience, indicating the severity of divine judgment. This echoes the broader biblical theme of God's holiness and justice, as seen in passages like <a href="/deuteronomy/9-7.htm">Deuteronomy 9:7-8</a>, where Israel's rebellion provokes God's anger. The historical context of Israel's repeated failures and God's subsequent discipline serves as a backdrop, reminding believers of the seriousness of sin and the need for repentance.<p><b>and terrified by Your wrath.</b><br>The word "terrified" conveys a deep fear and reverence for God's power and authority. This fear is not merely emotional but is rooted in the reality of God's ability to execute judgment. The concept of divine wrath is consistent throughout Scripture, as seen in <a href="/romans/1-18.htm">Romans 1:18</a>, where God's wrath is revealed against all ungodliness. The cultural context of ancient Israel, where divine retribution was a common understanding, underscores the gravity of this statement. This phrase also points to the eschatological reality of God's final judgment, as seen in <a href="/revelation/6-16.htm">Revelation 6:16-17</a>, where humanity seeks to hide from the wrath of the Lamb. In a typological sense, it foreshadows the necessity of Christ's atoning sacrifice, which satisfies God's wrath and offers believers peace with God, as articulated in <a href="/romans/5-9.htm">Romans 5:9</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>- Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/90.htm">Psalm 90</a>, Moses is a central figure in the Old Testament, known for leading the Israelites out of Egypt and receiving the Ten Commandments.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>- The people of Israel, who experienced God's anger and wrath during their journey in the wilderness due to their disobedience and lack of faith.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/w/wilderness_wanderings.htm">Wilderness Wanderings</a></b><br>- The 40-year period when the Israelites wandered in the desert, a time marked by God's discipline and the people's repeated failures to trust Him.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_god's_anger.htm">Understanding God's Anger</a></b><br>God's anger is a response to sin and disobedience.

From the general reflections, and the general consideration of human weakness, which have hitherto occupied him, the psalmist proceeds to speak particularly of the weakness and sin of himself and his own people, which have brought upon them a painful visitation.
