II Peter 3 . KJV . look up
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Jesus experiences time in a different way from us. Those 528,350,004,000 man-years become 192,975,717,830,968,800 years in Christ. That's what He felt coursing through His being as He groaned there on the Cross, blood dribbling out, mocked for me. Each day of each one of those dreadful years was dilated into 365,242⅕ terrible days. Terribler and dreadfuller than I can imagine as He looked at the sins of the world including sins of those not yet born all the way back to Eve, the very first sinner, flooding over Him like a tidal wave of molten lava and flying scorpions. Flying straight at Him backwards, stings poking out, all dripping with venom. Each sin individually presented in all its horror and horror of all the vast majority of those sins spat out over His lovely face because they're the sins of creatures who reject His offer of Salvation.
I will not calculate the cycle of sinful actions, some will be rapid, some slower, some sins repeat on a daily basis I suppose for heathens. Some are new every morning. Some will last all night. But whatever the frequency, whatever the depth of commitment to sinning, each will be magnified a thousand-fold and that is what Jesus will appreciate particularly as He inhales the smoke of perpetual torment referred to in Revelation:
Revelation 14 . KJV . look up
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
The Bible explains that Jesus will not remember those sins but that does not mean that He'll be standing there watching the torture, like just watching but not knowing why they're being tortured. Over and over and over again. Jesus will not remember the sins but will He remember the enhanced suffering He was made to endure at Calvary?
Hebrews 10 . KJV . look up
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Your advice will be appreciated on this point as it will be difficult for me to sleep thinking about how much I love Jesus in the light of what you've presented.
