<p>2:22 <em>Behold, I will cast her into a bed, into great tribulation, and those that commit adultery with her-unless they repent of their works</em>- Perhaps a 'bed of sickness' is appropriate punishment for her behaviour in 'bed'. We see here how God's plans are open ended. If this element refuse to repent, then they would have &quot;great tribulation&quot;. If they repent, then they will not need to pass through it. We noted the same on :10. Yet Jezebel was given space to repent but didn&rsquo;t, therefore judgment was pronounced; but even then, <em>if </em>she repented, she wouldn&rsquo;t be punished. This is simply the eagerness of God for human repentance.</p>
