3388.— The Judgment and Its Execution

By Editor

The first text refers to the resurrection and judgment, when all shall stand before God to receive the reward of their deeds. In the judgment, while it will be shown that Sodom will be justly condemned, yet Samaria, the ten-tribe kingdom, will be worthy of greater condemnation, because she sinned against greater light. The second text, Isa. 66:24, is a scene presented at the end of the 1,000 years, when the wicked perish by a breath from God. Their slain bodies will be seen by the righteous before the purifying fires, kindled by God's presence, rid the earth of sin and all who are identified with it. Compare with Revelation 20; Mal. 4:1. Job 14:20, 21 speaks of the death of man and his ignorance in death of the affairs of life. "The dead know not anything." Verse 22 notes his unsatisfaction in this life while he waits for death. His flesh has pain and his soul mourns.
