Is this necessarily true, if God didn't punish Hitler, it would mean the fate of Hitler would be the same as Abraham?
First, Abraham would have a much higher honor and dignity, for the way he lived. Hitler would have much more disgrace and dishonor for the way he lived.
Why?
Abraham proved he was willing to slaughter his own son, merely by being told to.
Hitler used his regime to 'cleanse' the world of the descendants of the so-called "Christ-killers", i.e. God's only-begotten son.
If you were this God and apportioning honour, dignity and disgrace, where would your judgements lie?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
