24:6 the curse. The primeval curse on the earth because of sin (Genesis 3:17-19) will have reached its climax, just as human sin and rebellion reach their climax, during the closing years of the tribulation period, and the earth is left scorched and desolate. The few ungodly men still living will be consigned to “everlasting fire” (Matthew 25:41), and there will be “few men left” to continue in their human flesh entering the millennial age.
