FIVE KINDS OF JUDGMENT

That said, there are five kinds of judgment of God: retributive judgment, gracious judgment, redemptive judgment, natural judgment, and silent judgment.

Which of these is God’s judgment on America? First, let me define each of these.

1. Retributive judgment

This is when God gets even. It is when His full wrath is poured out. God warned Adam not to eat of a particular tree in the Garden of Eden. Otherwise he would bring death upon himself (Gen. 2:16–17). Adam disobeyed. “The wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23). We read later in Genesis: “All the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died” (Gen. 5:5). This is retributive judgment. Retributive means deserved and severe punishment, not to improve a person but to mete out punishment for its own sake. It is like the Mosaic law that requires “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth” (Exod. 21:24). The biblical teaching of eternal punishment is retributive judgment. It is not for correcting, improving, or changing a person; it is punishment for sin.
