Someone is trying to deceive you. Are you a Christian? Chances are that you have already been deceived! Most modern Churches ignore these warnings from God in the New Testament.
Where the Son of God was meek before, He will then be majestic; where He was lowly, He will then be lofty; where He was mortal, He will then be immortal; where He was weak, He will then be all powerful; and where He was criminalized and crucified before, He will then be an all-conquering King!

No such an allowance was permissible to the Son of God because of the substitutionary requirements of the Atonement. The misery of a sinless Man merits happiness for sinners. The sorrow of the Savior merits joy for sinners. The pain of a perfect Man merits peace for sinners.
Every sensible experience of divine wrath was about to intensify to a maximum degree of glory on the Cross. Nevertheless, not everyone could see it (Isa. 53:3). Not everyone wants to see it.
