Christ Himself was angry and took the whip and turned over the tables etc. driving commercial interests out of the House of God (sorry not quoting biblical reference). Additionally as the saying goes you can hate the sin, but love the sinner. I suppose you could say that these passions are sort of neutral, depending upon to which end you apply them. Pity thus that original sin came about in the first place.

Very sorry I didn’t reply sooner
Yes this is a Zeal for the Household of the Kingdom of God, an on fire justice if you will. And needless to say, who has that right but Him. Jesus had the authority to stand firm in His Father’s House.
John:2
16: And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
17: And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18: Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19: Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
But a firm effort, or stand, kind of like Gregory the Great’s work as Pope, is a more appropriate Church application, in the things he set aright in his day.
Though it could be anger, but our God as Paul said, is a consuming fire. Which I believe is in His affections for His People and His Household.
