Their wretched departure from their wicked Bodies till both Souls and Bodies shall depart from Christ Luk. 16.22 23. Matth. 25.41 Their utter loss of all enjoyments on Earth and of all hopes of Heaven Luk. 12.20 21. Heb. 9.27 Eccles. 9.10 Their fatal Red-Sea overwhelming them for ever Luk. 16.22 23 26.
