God has two fires!
上帝有两种火！
(Thomas Watson, “The Beatitudes” 1660)

God has two fires:
上帝有两种火：
one where He puts His gold,

one where He puts His dross.
一种是放置祂的渣滓之火。
The fire where He puts His gold, is the fire of affliction – to purify them.
祂放置黄金的火，是熬炼之火——为要洁净他们。

The fire where He puts His dross, is the fire of damnation – to punish them.
祂放置渣滓的火，是咒诅之火——为要惩罚他们。
“Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his demons!

And they will go away into eternal punishment!” Matthew 25:41, 46
