2 Samuel 7:9-12
7:9 I was with you wherever you went, and I defeated
all your enemies before you. Now I will make you as famous as the great men of the earth.
7:10 I will establish a place for my people Israel and settle
them there; they will live there and not be disturbed
any more. Violent men
will not oppress them again, as they did in the beginning
7:11 and during the time when I appointed judges to lead my people Israel. Instead, I will give you relief
from all your enemies. The
Lord declares
to you that he himself
will build a dynastic house
for you.
7:12 When the time comes for you to die,
I will raise up your descendant, one of your own sons, to succeed you,
and I will establish his kingdom.

A whirlwind is what they deserve!

he rewards godly deeds;
the upright will experience his favor.

The Great White Throne
20:11 Then I saw a large white throne and the one who was seated on it; the earth and the heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them.
20:12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Then books were opened, and another book was opened – the book of life. So the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds.
20:13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each one was judged according to his deeds.
20:14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death – the lake of fire.
20:15 If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, that person was thrown into the lake of fire.
