Psalms 91.8

The security is more valuable, as being special, and, therefore, evidently of God; and while ten thousands of the wicked fall, the righteous are in such safety that they only see the calamity.

- Jamieson, Fausset, Brown

I also heard someone comment that the applicability of Psalm 91:7-8 would be especially astonishing to God's chosen people during the Tribulation as Jesus intervenes and fights for them.

That makes a lot of sense, Dan. I wonder how much of the Trib events we’ll be watching or if we will be busy about other things?

Psalm 91:8  “Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.”

My thoughts are … it says in …

Hebrews 4:13
And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

God is Omniscient - "He Sees and Knows" everything because after all He created everything.  Right now God sees the unbelievers in hades  and since He knows the end from the beginning … He also sees them in the lake of fire for all eternity.

I think we will be eye witnesses to the Great White Throne

and then in Revelation 21:4

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Jeremiah 29:13

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

John 8:12

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

John 3:17, 19

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Per David J. Stewart

Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels  (Matthew 25:41). God never intended for one single person to end up in hell.  It is not God’s will that anyone should perish in their sins and go to hell ... “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance”(2nd Peter 3:9). It is not God’s fault if men and women are stubborn and unwilling to repent  of their unbelief. Hell was not created for human beings but rather for Satan and his horde of demons. We are ALL without excuse for the wrong decisions we make in life—we cannot blame God. Perhaps other humans influenced us to make some wrong decisions but that’s not God’s fault.

“I often tell people, “Don’t give up on God because men fail you.” Let Job be our example, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him” (Job 13:15). What a statement!”

We read these interesting words in Revelation 20:14, “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” How can Hell be cast into the Lake of Fire? How can death be cast into the Lake of Fire? There are two different Greek words used here. The Lake of Fire is the Greek word Gehenna. The word “hell” in Revelation 21:14 is the Greek word Hades. So we learn from the Bible that Hades will be cast into Gehenna. Hades is a temporary place, but Gehenna will be the eternal home of the damned.

Hell is a jail where the unsaved await trial and sentencing before being cast into the prison of the Lake of Fire. Please understand that if you are not a Believer—you are already condemned! ... “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:18). Death is man’s great enemy! All the wealth, fame and worldly enjoyments a person may experience in this lifetime  cannot go with them beyond the grave. Once you're dead, it’s over! It’ll be too late to live for God when your six-feet-under.
