Hell is forever?
Let’s do this:
Matt.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:”
25:46 “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”
Then:
Jn.3:36 “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”
The word “everlasting” in those three verses comes from the Gr. word “aionios”
So, this means forever….
Now concerning “hell”, that Will go away:
Rev.20:14 “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Is the lake of fire forever and ever? Yes:
Rev.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.”
Now, the Gr. word “aion” is translated to “for ever and ever” in that verse, as in this one as well:
Rev.7:12 “Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.”
The lake of fire and hell are two different places, but it is a complete surety that the lake of fire is forever and ever….So, for the sake of not arguing, “Hell” is forever, for ever and ever….
For simplicity: the Blood of the Lamb of God DOES NOT cover those that go to hell, for those that go there refused to be covered by that Precious Blood, acquired by believing the gospel, which would have given them eternal life in Christ!
By believing that Christ died for your sins, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day; God will do this: He will forgive you, save you from the wrath to come, seal you until the day of redemption, give you the gift of eternal life, make you a citizen of heaven, and much much more…All of this is done in and through Jesus Christ !
He does this because He loves us:
Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
