Edward claims that the wrath of god will build up higher due to how long it is shut away and is able to burst through at any moment without god. The imagery of the quote was effective because it made you feel as it god was saving you and made you believe that the only thing saving you is god.

Edward is trying to describe how you get opportunities, and when they arrive everyone will be so grateful that god gave them that opportunity. The imagery of the quote was effective since it made you think about different opportunities.
