The opposite of the previous situation is now shown. While the wicked’s reward is a meaningless life, the righteous will have eternal life with God (Is 62:11), also depicted with images typical of the Bible (Prov 4:9; 1 Cor 9:25). Retribution here is described as recognition of the good deeds in life and a life with God. However, isn’t it possible to experience this on earth? If not, are we not overlooking key aspects of God’s incarnation?
