For sure. Fiery trials now, or judgement at the White Throne later.

--- Quote from: John from Kentucky on August 20, 2018, 11:46:32 PM ---In two Scriptures, in Matthew and Mark, Jesus tells us that unless those end days were shortened, then no flesh would be saved alive. But for sake of His Elect, those days will be shortened.
So there will be life, not total destruction. God is the God of the living, not the dead, for all will live unto Him and all will be saved.

John, I read this verse and thought it makes sense with what you said:
Job 38:8-11: « 8 Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,
9 when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10 when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,
11 when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;
here is where your proud waves halt’? »

The Book of Job is one of my favorites. It teaches many fundamental truths about God.
It may well be the oldest book in the bible based upon the age of the Hebrew letters and words.
It is a Hebrew poem.
At the first we learn about the relation between God and evil. The source of evil in a world created by a perfect God.
Later we learn about the resurrection of the dead when God speaks of this to Job.
And the beautiful language when God compares Himself and what He has done to what Job is. Much instruction.
A delightful book of scripture.
Dennis Vogel:
Job's children die and I have never thought of it as beautiful. But I see your point John.
Musterseed:
The book of Job contains more rare words than any other book in the Bible. Just a little
tidbit from.
