Ro 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.

Ro 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.

Ro 2:8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath.

Ro 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

Ro 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Ro 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction.

Ro 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Ro 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

Ro 13:5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

What we "clearly" see here is that the wrath of God is ONLY for the unsaved. There is nothing in scripture to indicate that the wrath of God will be poured out upon Christians during the Tribulation. In fact we see the opposite. Ro 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Yes we are saved by the blood of Jesus from the wrath to come.
1Th 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

This day of wrath is the Tribulation period of the book of Revelation.
Re 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.
Re 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Now there are all kinds of debate as to where this wrath begins in Revelation. The fact is that it begins right at the start of the Tribulation in Re. 6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

So how do we know that the wrath begins at the start of the Tribulation? We know this for one single simple fact. First begins the judgment of the Seals as they are opened. Then out of the 7th Seal come the 7 Trumpet judgments. Then out of the 7th trumpet comes the 7 Vials.

We can clearly see here that there is no separation of judgments. In other words they are all different aspects and degrees of the one judgment known as the Tribulation.

An example of God's judgment is found in the story of the parting of the red sea. First you have the 10 plagues that progressively get worse, then God pours out His final judgment wrath in the form of of the Red Sea crashing down upon Pharaoh.

In Revelation we have the Seals and Trumpet judgments followed by the intense out pouring of the Vials which are incredibly intense.
Re 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

So why isn't God just going to protect us through the Tribulation like he did with Israel and the Red Sea?
Mt 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

The fact is that since the out of the Seals come the Trumpets, and out of theTrumpets come the Bowls, this shows that they are ALL interconnected. This means they all are part of the Tribulation and therefore all are part of the Wrath of God. In scripture the Seals will kill off over a "forth of all the earth" with war and hunger and wild beasts. If that is not the Wrath of God upon the earth, then what is it? God's blessings?

So in closing I would like to say that we "wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come."
