Thirdly, there shall be no more punishments for sin; here thou art punished in thy body by Diseases, and the like, here punishments by trouble of Soul; but in Heaven thou art freed from internal punishments and external punishments; this was prefigured under the Law, 1 Kings 33. The Palm-tree is an Emblem of victory; Therefore the victorious are said to wear Palms in their hands triumphing, Revelation 7. to show that you can never be complete Conquerors, to wear signals of triumph and signals of conquest in your hands, till you come to enter into the holy of holiest. Then you have conquered over sin, and over Temptation to sin, and conquered over all punishments for sin. The Moral Philosophers say, that Rain, Hail, Storm and Tempests are engendered in the middle Region, but above the middle Region, there is no Wind, no storm or Tempest; whilst thou art here below, there are storms, Wind and blustering Temptations; but when God takes thee above this middle Region, there is no storm nor tempest to disturb thee, but thou shalt be quiet there.
