[[Ps-11]] Prev: [[Prophecies in Ps-10]] | Next: [[Prophecies in Ps-12]] --- ### On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A prediction of a specific, future divine judgment upon the wicked involving elemental destruction (fire and sulfur). *Historical context*: Theological scholars identify this as an eschatological prophecy. While it draws on the historical precedent of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah ([[Gen|Genesis 19]]), it is considered a prediction of the 'Final Judgment.' This is noted as being fulfilled in the New Testament book of Revelation (specifically [[Rev-20#v14|Revelation 20:14]]-15 and 21:8), which describes the final 'portion' of the wicked as a lake of burning sulfur. *Related to*: ### The upright shall see his face. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A prediction that those who remain righteous will eventually experience the direct presence and 'vision' of God (the Beatific Vision). *Historical context*: This prophecy is widely interpreted by Christian and Jewish theologians as referring to the ultimate state of the righteous in the afterlife or the world to come. In Christian theology, it is viewed as fulfilled in the eschatological promise found in [[Rev-22#v4|Revelation 22:4]] ('They will see his face') and the Beatitudes of Jesus in [[Matt-05#v8|Matthew 5:8]] ('Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God'). *Related to*: --- #ai_prophecy
