The answer is a little bit complicated. There are two laws we have to deal with, and they fall under the justice of God. The first is whatever we do to others either in good or evil is returned on our head. The Second law is like the first but is has an "interest rate" attached to it either for good or for evil. We reap what we sow. Not as the false law of Karma teaches....But as in the law of the harvest. In agriculture we can reap 20% 50% even 100% more of what we sow. The blessings and Wrath of God works in the same manner. Sow the wind as the scriptures say and you shall reap the Whirlwind (Tornado)
Disconnect
There is a disconnect between sin and consequences. The disconnect between sin and consequences is called time. It may take 10, 20, 40 years of more before consequences to a particular sin are felt by us. When the time of repentance is over for that particular sin, then Judgment is pronounced.And most cannot make the connection that the seeds of their pain could have originated 40 years.
