This metaphor shows the incensed words Jonathan Edwards used to invoke an eerie or scary feeling. The abominable tone of Jonathan Edwards is well expressed in this quote “O sinner! Consider the fearful danger you are in: it is a great furnace of wrath, a wide and bottomless pit, full of the fire of wrath, that you are held over in the hand of that God, whose wrath is provoked and incensed as much against you, as against many of the damned in hell: you hand by a slender thread, with the flames of divine wrath flashing about it, and burn it asunder; and you have no interest in any Mediator, and nothing to lay hold of to save yourself, nothing to keep off the flames of wrath, nothing of your own, nothing that you can do, to induce God to spare you one moment.”(103-104) His natural wrath is felt in these words that is the tone.
