| Woe to those who destroy and aren't destroyed. |
Why is Isaiah giving a woe to the destroyer and the traitor who has not seen destruction? It would seem that those who have faced judgment would be worse off. The one who has survived longer is the winner, right?
No. As we look through scripture, we see that those who have greater time to change are promised greater judgment. In the New Testament, Jesus warned the cities he ministered in which did not repent were in for greater judgment than Sodom and Gomorrah which were destroyed by fire and brimstone. In another place, Jesus makes it clear to whom much is given much is required. This being the case, those whose judgment is held off and don't repent are in for greater judgment.
