Judgment's Fiery Reality
For those who willfully and finally reject Christ, commentators explain that there is no other hope or sacrifice left—only a "fearful expectation of judgment." Scholars note this "fiery indignation" is not a new idea but draws on Old Testament imagery, like Isaiah 26:11, to describe God's holy wrath against His adversaries. This judgment is both an internal torment of conscience and an objective future event.
