Rom.2:8, 9 -- "But unto them that
are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness,
indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that
doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile." "Wrath"
indicates the settled mind of God towards the persistently wicked (John 3:36);
"indignation," the outbreak of that wrath at the day of judgement;
"tribulation," severe affliction (Matt.13:21; 24:9; Rev.7:14);
"anguish," torturing confinement in a strait place without relief, as
in a dungeon, or in stocks. God grant that we may never know what these terms
fully mean.
Matt.25:41, 46 -- "Then shall he
say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. And these shall go
away into everlasting punishment." 2 Thess.1:7-9 -- "When the Lord
Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire
taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our
Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the
presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power." See also Mark
9:43-50 which speaks of the wicked being cast into "hell, into the fire
that never shall be quenched: where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched."
