The wicked will perish. The wicked people of this world are like chaff, dust driven by the whirlwind of God's judgment and devoured in the fire. Christian's on the other hand have our foundation upon Christ himself and rest firmly in His righteousness to the saving of our souls. God's judgment on sin will be poured out on the day of judgment, the wicked will do nothing but melt like wax in the furnace of justice.
