It often happens here and all places too that a crazy head of the family kills the whole family and then suicides. In some cases a parent, brother or a concerned neighbor intervenes and gets wounded, often fatally. In that case the family is saved, at least for the time being.
In the case of nation too, it happens as in the case of Israel then and in Germany and Russia now. Pre-election-haughty Jews hated all around. So they turned all their neighbors into enemies. Most reasonably they were often attacked and punished. Then their refusal to obey Christ in loving enemy Romans instead of hate was turning towards acute suicidal rebellion. For preaching that universal love they crucified Christ as they killed Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. recently. By taking the wrath of Jews on himself Christ delayed their rebellion-suicide for many years and saved many among them who followed him in enemy love to martyrdom. The only way to gain greater life is to invest-sacrifice the smaller life we have.
In case of elect-haughty Germany the same thing happened. In the end Hitler did suicide after devastating Germany and giving order to his army to destroy the survivors. But here also martyrs like Bonhoeffer mitigated it by taking devil’s wrath meekly.
Russia would have followed communism’s world dominion scheme worse that Germany, even by atomic world war, if not thwarted that way by millions of martyrs. For that communism failed, never by economic causes, as communist china still thrives. Due to those martyrs, even leaders lost faith in communism to stop trying to readjust it like china. Now china is the greatest enemy of humanity and themselves as there are scanty number of Christian martyrs to check them.
So Christ took the wrath of haughty devil guided humanity on him meekly to shield others as a mother shields fighting brothers. It also produces repentance and change of heart. It is not to shield us from absolute love Heavenly Father who has no wrath. It is a blasphemous doctrine that Christ was a substitute to save us from the wrath of most humble Heavenly Father! Rather He in Christ took the wrath of pride-devil guided fallen humanity to turn saner among them back from personal and collective suicide.
