The Punishment

إن الإنسن لفي خسر

Inna al-insana lafee khusrin

103.2 Certainly the human is in punishment for sin.

Summary of 103.2:

• Revelation, from the same chapter fourteen, describes the fall of Babylon (i.e. the city of man)

• This fall of mankind is due to “the wine of the anger of her fornication she made all nations to drink”

• Revelation also warns against worshiping the beast and its image which will result in torment (basanizo)

• 103.2 links to 103.1 via the corroborative particle “inna”, or certainly

• What is certain is in relation to mankind (al-insana), and is equated to the winepress of God (i.e. Jesus), as described in 103.1

• Mankind is used in conjunction with the genitive “fee”

• 103.2 utilizes the word “khusrin”, which is best described as “punishment for sin”, and is the possession of the “fee” of “al-insana”

• This “punishment for sin” is the “torment” as described in the Book of Revelation

• Observe that this punishment involves fire and brimstone, lasts forever, and takes place in the presence of the Lamb(i.e. Jesus)
