"The only difference between the ancient Jewish order of things and ours today is as regards the time of punishment and the executor of the punishment.
--When God was the direct ruler, He saw fit to have an immediate punishment inflicted.
--Now the evil-doer must look forward to the last great day of judgment . Heb. 10:26-29."

He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye,
shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God,
and hath counted the blood of the covenant,
wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing,
and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews 10:28,29
