God does not always require us to operate solely on faith, and in fact at times will lay out very clear evidence for the wrong doings of humanity. As God calls Ezekiel to be a prophet, we see that God lays out the case against Jerusalem and that what they thought was hidden from God was in fact well known by Him.

Fury

  

Fury is a receding from good, and anger is a receding from truth.

In Genesis 49:20, this signifies turning away from confirmed truth. (Arcana Coelestia 6359)

In Exodus 15:7, this signifies the fury of lusts and their endeavor to inflict violence. (Arcana Coelestia 8284)

In Zephaniah 1:15, this signifies the advent of the Lord to judgment. (Divine Love and Wisdom 5)

In Revelation 14:10, this signifies truth from which comes good. (Apocalypse Revealed 635)
