Chris's comment on 2020-11-28 22:20:52:

The word "terrible" is an archaic term for what we would say today as "awesome". Even the word 'awesome' connotes a sense of being in terror or trembling as we come before such a Holy Mighty God. Such is the Holiness of God because we can only perceive Him in our sinful, corrupt condition, yet with renewed hearts. He is indeed our Loving Father, yet His Holiness & Majesty demands that we reverence Him in all fear & trembling. Many Christians treat the Deity like a neighbour next door, or even use the word 'awesome' in some irreverent manner, but when we study the Word, we are truly humbled & come trembling before the LORD & His Holy Word.
