So then what about the forty years that the Israelites were forced to wander in the wilderness for? And also what about the period of seventy years when the Israelites were exiled in the land of Babylon? How do these fit within your model of final punishment as opposed to being dealt with roughly and harshly?

Consider the curse of Paul on Elymas “O full of allll deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? And now indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. (Acts 13:10,11). Is that final judgement or rough treatment.
