- A. Are Sinners
Punished On This Earth?
- Revelation 20:
- 9 And they went up on the breadth of
the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the
beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and
devoured them.
- Ezekiel 28:
- 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they
have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned:
therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I
will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the
stones of fire.
- 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine
iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring
forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I
will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them
that behold thee.
- NOTE:
- As can be seen from verse 16 above, even Satan will
be punished on this earth.
