fire
arrows
insects
serpents

The image of fire was used in '' sinners in the hands of an angry God'' to provoke fear in the audience.

Edward deployed the use of fire in the sermon as a metaphor to express God's wrath against sinners, thereby making a comparison of a God's wrath to the fierceness of hell.

Jonathan Edward, through the use the fire image, portrays the heated consequence of the sinners and thus buttresses the point that God's anger is something far more dreadful.

He recounted that the depth of god anger is "wide" and like "a bottomless pit'', "full" with "the fire of wrath". He specified that sinners "are held in the hands of such a God'' and described that the wrath of such God increases to you [one sinner] as much many others. Such were his lines of words.  

He also used several other images portraying God's wrath against sinner throughout the sermon. Such words include: "great waters", "loathsome insect", "fiery blue bow".

It is noted that throughout the sermon, Jonathan Edward feelings towards his congregation was compassionate as he urged them to turn away from sins.  He felt compassionate for them because he greatly considers the fearful danger an angry God has in stock for the sinners. It is such consideration Jonathan Edward tried to instill in the mind of audience.
