Hell Fire Not Eternal

Hell fire doesn't exist now and is not eternal

 The idea that hell fire is eternal in nature and will burn eternally is an idea that is supported by past cultures and now modern culture also, but is God determined to make lost sinners suffer eternally? Would He punish them with eternal burning? What does the bible say about the punishment of the lost?

 Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

All sinners without Christ will be responsible for their own sin and will be punished in a lake of fire; this is referred to as the " second death" When will this lake of fire, understood by most people as Hell fire, exist?

Revelation 20:9-15
9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. 11Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

 It is clear to see by the above passage that Hell, the lake of fire, is referred to as the second death; which takes place on this earth after the city of God comes to earth and the great judgment of lost sinners by God is completed.

The lake of fire is the punishment for those that did not accept Jesus as their personal Savior and they are responsible for they're own sin. It makes no sense and would be very unfair if people were punished in Hell fire immediately after death, before they were judged and made to burn eternally as some teach and believe.

What will be the result of the lake of fire?

Malachi 4:1, 3 1"For behold, the day is coming, Burning like an oven, And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up," Says the LORD of hosts, " That will leave them neither root nor branch. 3 You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet On the day that I do this," Says the LORD of hosts.

The location of the lake of fire will be here on earth. It is clear from the above text that the lost will be "stubble", leaving "neither root nor branch", and consumed to "ashes" under the feet of those that are saved by Jesus Christ. This is literal; when the saved walk upon the newly created earth; they will be walking on the ashes of those lost and everything previously destroyed by the lake of fire. This is evidence that there will be nothing left to burn after their destruction. This makes it clear that the lost will not burn eternally; for it makes no sense that a new earth would be created at the same location of an eternally burning fire. How could the saved people of God enjoy heaven if they had to see those that they knew, but were not saved, burning in the same location they lived and called heaven?

God loves us too much to torture us eternally with burning. The belief of eternal Hell fire is not biblical; however, God must punish sinful man if they reject Jesus Christ and will do so by fire, but not eternal fire.

Will you accept God today? God loves you too much to let you continue lost.
