Firstly, is HELL REAL?
Let us not deceive ourselves, HELL is the lake of FIRE called Gehenna, which has not yet come, but WILL COME on judgment day, called the great day of the Lord Joel 2:11: World English Bible
Yahweh thunders his voice before his army; for his forces are very great; for he is strong who obeys his command; for the day of Yahweh is great and very awesome, and who can endure it?
HELL Gehenna, the lake of FIRE will be for people who do not repent or obey GOD's commands, or who do not follow Jesus teachings, and a place where sinners and the ungodly and the WICKED will be punished, Revelation 20:15
And if anyone was not found having been written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
Michael's Deliverance and the End Times
(Revelation 1:1-3)
Daniel 12:
1"At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book. 2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run back and forth, and knowledge shall be increased."
Many people may say, yes but I have never done anything that is evil, which may well be true, not understanding that Jesus said: The one not being with Me is against Me, and the one not gathering with Me scatters. Matthew 12:30.
As we see we are either for GOD and Jesus or against them, there is no middle ground.
Revelation 21:8
But to the cowardly and unbelieving and having become abominable and murderers and the sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their portion is in the lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
Let us believe, repent and humble and deny ourselves and follow Jesus and be saved, for this is why GOD has sent and sacrificed His Only Begotten Son Jesus, not to condemn us, but to save us, because Jesus payed the price for our sins on the cross, proving GOD's love:
John 3:16:
For God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, so that everyone believing in Him should not perish, but should have eternal life.
1 Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God, the One giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Timothy 1:10
and now having been made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, having abolished death and having brought to light life and immortality through the gospel,
GOD desires ALL to repent and be saved 2 Peter 3:9 - 13
The Day of the Lord
(Zephaniah 1:7-18; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11)
9 The Lord does not delay the promise, as some esteem slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish, but all to come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar, and elements will be dissolved, burning with heat, and the earth and the works in it will not be found.
11 All these things being dissolved in this way, what kind ought you to be? In holy conduct and godliness, 12 expecting and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens will be dissolved, being set on fire, and the elements are melting, burning with heat. 13 But according to His promise, we are awaiting new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
Part 1. The true meaning of Revelation 14:11
King James Bible
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
There is a most horrible doctrine taught within the Trinity and the Oneness Pentecostal faiths, teaching and believing the lost will BURN IN HELL FIRE DAY AND NIGHT FOR EVER AND EVER who will NEVER DIE.
Even when my wife Emma and I were deceived Trinitarians for 10 years, we NEVER did believe in such a horrible doctrine taught by most Christians saying our righteous GOD will not destroy the lost and wicked, but will instead TORTURE and BURN our lost loved one's in FIRE FOREVER and EVER.
How could GOD possibly be righteous by NOT destroying and killing and removing the ungodly and wicked from His amazing perfect Kingdom to come?
Psalm 104:35
Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!
How could GOD's new and perfect world to come, be a perfect world to come, when there are people in PAIN, BURNING IN HELL FIRE DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER.
By the fact GOD will remove and destroy rebellious people who would not put their trust in GOD and His SON, is what will make a perfect world to come.
It is obvious to see how this false teaching of the lost BURNING IN PAIN IN HELL FIRE DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER, contradicts the whole Bible, that says there will be NO MORE pain or suffering ever again as we are told in Revelation 21:4 There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
This is what makes our GOD righteous, by the fact He will reward the righteous people, and He will Kill and remove the people from His creation who refuse to believe and repent and accept GOD's love, forgiveness, mercy and grace, that comes through His SON Jesus.
Ezekiel 18:21
But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
In fact it was an absolute abomination to our GOD that people burned their baby sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods Molech, Deuteronomy 12:31.
In fact our righteous GOD rightly demanded that such evil people be put to death and be rightly KILLED, which is precisely what happened. Leviticus 20:2
And yet most of Christianity teach GOD will be worse by keeping the lost BURNING IN HELL FIRE DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER.
How did most of Christianity become so deceived, to actually believe and teach a righteous GOD will TORTURE people in FIRE FOREVER and EVER?
Its time for the TRUTH.
Please may I now reveal the TRUTH, and show you the Biblical facts revealing how our righteous GOD Yahweh is truly JUST and WORTHY by showing you how the Scriptures do not contradict by saying in one hand the lost will be destroyed and DIE, or in the other hand the lost will NOT DIE, but instead will have ETERNAL LIFE in HELL FIRE.
Instead we will see how all Scriptures teach the same thing, and see the plain and simple truth, by seeing how GOD will reward the righteous, with EVERLASTING LIFE, and punish the wicked in EVERLASTING FIRE that DESTROYS FOREVER and EVER, which Jesus called the SECOND DEATH, revealing GOD's absolute righteousness.
Follow me in my research, and discover what I discovered!
Pray, Ask, Seek, and you will find said Jesus, Matthew 7:7.
Well, that's what I did, and look at what I found.
I found out how the most popular verse used to teach the lost will BURN IN HELL FIRE DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER is in Revelation 14:11, and is completely misunderstood.
Let's have a look at Revelation 14:11.
New International Version
And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name."
The first and obvious fact is seen in the many false translations that most Christians are using.
Notice in the false translations below which all say: for ever and ever.
New International Version
And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name."
New Living Translation
The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night, for they have worshiped the beast and his statue and have accepted the mark of his name.”
English Standard Version
And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”
Berean Study Bible
And the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever. Day and night there is no rest for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”
Now notice the CORRECT translation of Revelation 14:11
Berean Literal Bible
And the smoke of their torment goes up to (ages of ages) and those worshiping the beast and its image have no rest day and night, and if anyone receives the mark of its name."
Did you notice the different words saying (ages of ages) and NOT forever and ever?
Because most Christians read the false translations saying: And the smoke of their torment will rise FOREVER and EVER, they therefore misunderstand and think John is teaching the lost will BURN IN HELLFIRE DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER.
Instead of looking in the Greek text and seeing and understanding the different words say (ages of ages) and NOT forever and ever.
Now when we seek we find that the CORRECT words saying: And the smoke of their torment goes up to (ages of ages) means in the Strong's Concordance:
Definition: a space of time, an age
Usage: an age, a cycle (of time),
So far what we have seen in the correct translations is how the lost will BURN for (ages of ages), in other words in a cycle (of time), which I am sure means will burn until they are consumed and destroyed.
Notice in our English, how we still use the words (ages), in phrase's like (I took ages), or (I waited ages), or (I slept for ages), or (they took ages), which is as we all know a phrase that means it took a long time.
And yet in the phrase's there is no exact time given.
We see in the Dictionary the meaning of (ages):
Our English word (ages), used in our phrase's today, seem to perfectly fit with the Greek word used in the correct translations of Revelation 14:11 saying: And the smoke of their torment goes up to (ages of ages).
And as we have seen in the Strong's Concordance the meaning of the word (aiĆ³n) is: a space of time, an age a cycle (of time), which is identical to our English word (ages), in our phrase's like (I took ages), or (I waited ages), or (I slept for ages), or (they took ages), which is as we all know a phrase that means it took a cycle of time, but the exact time is never given.
This adds up to why Jesus said in Matthew 10:15: Truly I say to you, on the day of judgment, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and of Gomorrah than for that city.
Because of what Jesus said in Matthew 10:15 that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and of Gomorrah, HOW could or would the punishment be DIFFERENT for the people of the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, if the teachings of all the lost will BURN in HELL FIRE day and night forever and ever was correct?
Here's something worth thinking about.
According to the teaching that the lost will BURN in HELL FIRE day and night FOREVER and EVER, this would simply mean the good Samaritan who did not give his life to Jesus, or the many sincere people who have never ever committed evil crimes, who may have done many good deeds in their life's, will receive the SAME punishment of BURNING in HELLFIRE day and night FOREVER and EVER, as the people who have committed EVIL CRIMES, which contradicts what we read in Revelation 20:12 saying: And the dead were judged out of the things having been written in the books, according to their deeds.
Question:
If the lost, the EVIL, and the good Samaritan who did not believe in Jesus, are all thrown in the SAME FIRE, and if it were true that the lost will BURN in HELL FIRE day and night FOREVER and EVER, then what would be the point of being judged according to their works, Revelation 20:13, if all the lost, good or bad, still receive the SAME punishment of BURNING in HELL FIRE day and night FOREVER and EVER.
However, the correct translations saying the lost will BURN for (ages of ages), in other words will burn in a cycle (of time), now adds up perfectly with what we read in Revelation 20:13 saying: the lost will be judged according to their works.
In other words the lost will each burn in a cycle (of time), according to their works, just as punishment will be: more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, Matthew 10:15.
Remember that the people of Sodom and Gomorrah were already DESTROYED by FIRE, so could this be WHY it will be: more tolerable for the land of Sodom and of Gomorrah, on the day of judgment Matthew 10:15?
DISCOVERED - HISTORICAL EVIDENCE OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
We also know Sodom and Gomorrah and the people there are NO LONGER BURNING, and the people were completely destroyed, as an example of what is coming to the ungodly, as we read in 2 Peter 2:6
and He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, having reduced them to ashes, having set an example of what is coming on the ungodly.
We see in Jude 1:7 how the penalty of sin is eternal fire, which does not mean the fire never goes out, but instead means the fire destroys eternally and permanently.
just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, having indulged in sexual immorality and having gone after strange flesh, in like manner with them are set forth as an example, undergoing the penalty of eternal fire.
As Sodom and Gomorrah are destroyed, and the people that lived there are not still alive burning, physically or spiritually, but are dead and gone as an example, then we know for sure the eternal fire means to destroy eternally and permanently.
It seems obvious to me that if HELL is going to be more bearable for the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, then that must be proof of the TEACHINGS OF BURNING IN HELLFIRE DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER for the lost is false.
But please hold on, as I have saved the best until last!
What have we seen so far?
We have seen by examining the correct translation of Revelation 14:11 does not have the words saying (forever and ever), which deceives us into believing (NEVER ENDING).
But instead the correct translation of Revelation 14:11 has the words saying (ages of ages), meaning (a cycle of time).
And as the correct translation of Revelation 14:11 says (ages of ages), meaning (a cycle of time), that alone proves there is an END.
Because (a cycle of time) is a short part of time, that does not go on FOREVER and EVER.
Now we understand (ages of ages), means (a cycle of time), that comes to an END.
What about the words we have not examined?
What did John mean in the rest of the verse of Revelation 14:11 saying:
And the smoke of their torment goes up to ages of ages and those worshiping the beast and its image have no rest day and night, and if anyone receives the mark of its name." Berean Literal Bible
There will be no rest day or night Revelation 14:11, seems to still imply the lost will BURN IN HELL FIRE DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER.
So what did John mean by saying: And the smoke of their torment goes up, and those worshiping the beast and its image have no rest day and night,
Friends, the simple answer is given in Isaiah 34:10.
Let me please UNCOVER and share this hidden treasure with you.
Notice in both verses of Revelation 14:11 and Isaiah 34:10, by me adding the verses side by side:
Revelation 14:11
And the smoke of their torment goes up to ages of ages and those worshiping the beast and its image have no rest day and night, and if anyone receives the mark of its name."
Isaiah 34:10
It won't be quenched night nor day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation, it will lie waste. No one will pass through it forever and ever.
Did you see what I saw?
We can all see something very obvious.
Revelation 14:11 says: And the smoke of their torment goes up, have no rest day and night,
And Isaiah 34:10 says:
It won't be quenched night nor day. Its smoke will go up forever.
The question is, what is Isaiah 34:10 about?
Well in the Trinitarian Commentaries which I have added, give us some useful information about what Isaiah 34:10 is about.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible tells us:
It shall not be quenched night nor day - That is, the burning brimstone and pitch Isaiah 34:9, the emblem of perpetual and entire desolation, shall not be extinguished.
The smoke thereof shall go up for ever - Every river and rivulet is Supposed to be heated pitch, and every particle of dust sulphur, and a 1 on fire, sending up from an extended region dense columns of smoke to heaven. No idea of ruin could be more sublime; no idea of the vengeance of God more terrible.
Notice in Barnes next statement:
This image has been copied by John to describe the future woes of the wicked Revelation 14:11, and of mystical Babylon Revelation 18:9, Revelation 18:18; Revelation 19:2-3.
So Barnes believes John copied Isaiah 34:10 to the future woes of the wicked in Revelation 14:11:
Revelation 14:11 says: And the smoke of their torment goes up, have no rest day and night,
And Isaiah 34:10 says:
It won't be quenched night nor day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation, it will lie waste. No one will pass through it forever and ever.
Pulpit Commentary tells us:
Verse 10. - None shall pass through it forever and ever. There was a literal fulfillment of the prophecies against Edom to a considerable extent.
Says that the "mountains and the heritage of Esau were laid waste for the dragons of the wilderness" (Malachi 1:3); and he makes the Edomites themselves exclaim, "We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places"
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible tells us:
It shall not be quenched night nor day,.... It will be long burning, and shall not be extinguished until it is utterly consumed. The burning of Rome will continue long, especially the smoke of it; the kings of the earth, and others, are represented as standing and looking at it, and lamenting for it, Revelation 18:9,
the smoke thereof shall go up for ever; this very phrase is what will be used by the saints in their "allelujahs", at the burning of Rome, Revelation 19:3 with which compare Revelation 14:11,
from generation to generation it shall lie waste; the land shall be no more manured and cultivated, nor the city rebuilt; when Babylon is once fallen, it shall never be raised up again, but always remain desolate, Revelation 18:2,
none shall pass through it for ever and ever; no inhabitant in it, nor traveller through it; it will be so horrible and terrible, as none will care to dwell there, yea, not so much as to travel through it; see Jeremiah 49:18.
So as we have read according to the Trinitarian Commentaries Isaiah 34:10 was a literal fulfilment of the prophecies against Edom and a prophecy for the future of unbelievers as told in Revelation 14:11, which are virtually identical verses.
Yet in the end of the verse of Isaiah 34:10 we have a clear explanation to what the meaning is saying: It won't be quenched night nor day. Its smoke will go up forever.
And here in the END of the verse is the actual hidden meaning of: It won't be quenched night nor day. Its smoke will go up forever.
From generation to generation, it will lie waste. No one will pass through it forever and ever.
Just as smoke goes up and disappears.
So there is the answer and there we have the hidden meaning of Isaiah 34:10 which is virtually identical to Revelation 14:11.
We clearly see how Isaiah 34:10 means utter destruction, FOREVER and EVER.
And NOT a NEVER ENDING BURNING HELLFIRE DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER.
Now we know what Jesus said in Mathew 10:28, He was not making any contradictions, but taught that GOD will DESTROY the lost, which is why He called it the SECOND DEATH Revelation 20:14, which is why Romans 6:23 tells us: For the wages of sin is DEATH, which literally means to UTTERLY be DESTROYED and DIE, which will be a literal fulfilment.
Psalm 37:20 World English Bible
But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish-- vanish like smoke.
DEATH means DEATH, and not eternal life, which now also destroys the contradictions that most of Christianity create in the false teachings of the lost having eternal life BURNING IN HELL FIRE DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER, Revelation 14:11
John 3:36
Berean Literal Bible
The one believing in the Son has eternal life, but the one not obeying the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
Matthew 25:46
And these will go away into eternal punishment; but the righteous into eternal life."
Psalm 104:35
World English Bible
Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!
Now we know and understand the truth, we very easily see how there are no contradictions:
For the wages of sin is (DEATH) Romans 6:23,
NOT ETERNAL LIFE IN FIRE.
Notice how Revelation 11:18 tells us how GOD will DESTROY THOSE WHO ARE DESTROYING THE EARTH:
And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to Your servants, the prophets, and to the saints, and to those fearing Your name, the small and the great, and to DESTROY those who are destroying the earth."
Join me again in Part 2. The true meaning of Revelation 20:10
King James Bible
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Part 4. The true meaning of Matthew 25:46
And these will go away into eternal punishment; but the righteous into eternal life."
Part 5 Scriptures Proving THE UNSAVED Will Not Have ETERNAL LIFE ROASTING IN HELL FIRE FOR EVER AND EVER. We look at the countless scriptures teaching how GOD will NOT BURN the lost FOREVER, and EVER, but how GOD will KILL and DESTROY the lost FOREVER and EVER, implying utter destruction.
