HOW LONG WILL HELL-FIRE LAST, AND WHAT WILL BE LEFT?
- Isaiah 47:14. "Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it."
- Revelation 21:1-2. "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. :4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
- Malachi 4:1-3. "For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts."
Note: After wards the Bible teaches that there will not be left, "A coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.."
- Isaiah 47:14. "Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it."
Note: If GOD tortured sinners in a fiery horror chamber for eternity, He'd be more heartless and vicious than any war criminal has ever been! Yet know that GOD loves each one of us, so eternal suffering would be as hell for God Himself!
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE "FOREVER" IN REVELATION 14:11 AND OTHERS?
Note: The Greek word used here is "aion", or our word eon meaning an indefinitely long period of time, an age. It is used many times in the Bible, in connection with things already ended. It use is as our word "Tall" each use is different depending if we speak about a man, a women a tree or a mountain. In Jonah 2:6 the "forever" meant three days and nights. Plus read Jonah 1:17.
- Jonah 1:17. "Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights."
Note:Sodom was set a-blaze, forever and ever, is it still burning today? In these cases we must think, "Until the job is done, or the desired point has been reached!" Therefore the wicked will burn in the fire as long as each deserves, until death> Satan and his demon angels shall burn the longest of all, next are the false preacher/teachers!
THE false teachings of eternal torment has done more to drive people into atheism and insanity than any other invention of the devil! It is slander upon the loving character of of a tender and patient loving Heavenly Father and has done untold harm to the Christian cause. The devil, the Dragon, Satan, delights to see our loving Creator portrayed as such a monstrous tyrant! Because, that's most accurately his own description!
AMAZING FACT: To simulate one-hundredth of a second of the complete processing of even a single nerve cell from the human eye requires several minutes of processing time on a super-computer. The human eye has 10 million or more such cells constantly interacting with each other in complex ways. This means it would take a minimum of 100 years of super-computing to simulate what takes place in your eye many times each second!
So a QUESTION: How could all this even remotely come to us piece by piece over millions of years as Evolution? Please THINK!
BUT. . .BUT IS NOT THE DEVIL IN CHARGE OF HELL? IS HE NOT IN CONTROL?
- Ezekiel 28:18-19. "Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more."
- Revelation 20:10. "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." [or until the the job is done, remember?]
- Revelation 20:9. "And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."
- Matthew 13:40-43. "As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."
THEN WHAT IS GOD' S PURPOSE FOR HELL-FIRE?
- Matthew 25:41. "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:"
- Revelation 20:14-15. "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
- Psalms 37:10,20. " For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away."
- 1 Corinthians 15:54-57. "So when this corruptible shall have put on in-corruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Note: God' s purpose is that that death and sin shall be destroyed in hell, along with ALL that desire to remain in their sins, to make eternity safe. IF ONE SINNER remained, he or she would soon pollute as much as an deadly virus, thus threatening the earth and the Universe again!.
Please know that NO ONE who will be in heaven because they feared hell, but because they loved and obeyed Jesus Christ!
- John 14:15. "If ye love me, keep my commandments."
