Forever And Ever!
Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,
“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives
his mark on his
forehead or on his hand, he himself shall
also drink of the wine of the wrath of God.... He shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone.”
Revelation 14:9-10
A significant portion of evangelical Christians do not
believe in hell. Those beliefs are held in spite of the
clear biblical references to eternal separation from
God, especially by Jesus Himself.
Jesus’ parable of the sheep and the goats
(Matthew 25:31-46) is set in the context of
the final judgment associated with His
Second Coming.
The righteous sheep are ushered in the Kingdom of
God
while unrighteous goats are consigned to “the everlasting
fire prepared for the devil and his angels.... And these will
go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous in
eternal life” (verses 41, 46).
Words “everlasting fire” and “everlasting punishment,”
taken at face value, support what John saw in his vision
of eternal judgment: “The smoke of their torment ascends
forever and ever” (Revelation 14:11).
Eternity awaits everyone.
Make sure your destiny is
eternal life through faith in
Christ.
"How many by the wind
of popular breath have
been blown to hell!"
