The Reality of Hell — Don Perkins

Ladies and gentlemen, Don Perkins on the reality of hell. Let's welcome him. I.

Greet you again in the wonderful wonderful name of our Savior Jesus Christ. And again, it's a privilege and an honor to be Up to bat again. Hallelujah. If they would pull up the screen there my message this evening will be the reality of hell.

The Neglected Message of Hell

And again, this is a message that's not taught a lot in the churches. It's one of those forgotten messages that really need to come back to the church. So I want you to bow your heart with me as we ask the Lord to take us in this afternoon.

Father God, we love you. And again, we thank you and we counted an honor and a privilege. To stand before you and also before your people. Tonight Oh God, we asked we asked this evening. I asked so Lord that you Open unto us the scriptures.

Give us a reality of the eternal judgment. Give us a reality Oh God that will help us. Oh God to comprehend. Oh God this place called hell. Lord let it challenge us. Oh God. Let it let it birth a desire for the harvest.

Lord, let it give us a deeper understanding of this judgment. Lord, we bind the works the schemes the strategies of the devil to hinder this message. Lord, we asked this evening for an open heaven. And Holy Spirit we ask make it plain to us today in Jesus name.

Amen. Amen the reality of hell we will get a reality this afternoon. I want to start off with a scripture here the book of Psalms chapter 9 verse 17 it reads the wicked shall be turned into hell and all nations that forget God.

This is one of those messages again as I shared earlier sayings that it's it's a message. That's not not taught a lot in the churches. If I were to take a survey and ask how many of you have heard the message of hell this year.

You'll be surprised at the hands. It's not a message. That's popular. It's a message. It's not a message of if you want to be a popular preacher. But you know something it's a message that must be delivered to the church.

We need a reality of this word today because if we get this reality We'll have an understanding like the Savior, you know, the Savior understood hell so well. That he went to the cross to die. That we might miss it.

He understood the reality of this place so well that he went to the cross to give us eternal life. He want us to understand that same Reality. I want to quote pastor Mark Rutland. Listen what he said about hell.

He said none should be allowed to shout about hell who haven't whispered in terror. God saved me. None should be allowed to mention hell to the lost without tender whisper tender desperate concern in every word and none should be allowed to preach a sermon on hell unless it ends with an invitation to choose heaven.

I Like this artist rendition here of hell because hell is a reality. Saints we must understand its reality. I Want to quote a very famous verse that I love. I applied this verse to everything that I hear.

Proverbs 11 verse 1 says a false balance is an abomination to the Lord. But a jest wait is his delight. It says a false balance is an abomination to God. But a jest wait is his delight, you know some Saints we have a society today That's concerned about only the love of God.

In other words, we have a false balance of just the love of God. I've heard many people say many times preacher, you know, I would never serve a server. God who created hell. I mean God's a God of love.

Yes. He is. He's a God of love. But guess what Saints? He's a God of justice, too. He's a righteous God he's a God he's a God. That the Bible says it's a dangerous thing to fall into the hands of a living God.

The Bible says that God has wrath, you know, God gets angry. We only see the love of God, which is so good. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, but that very God is a God of justice.

We must have the proper balance the love and justice. Now we're gonna look tonight this afternoon at this this teaching of hell. I want to show you out that prophecy chart here. Everything you see on this line will be things that would take place on planet Earth.

Everything above will be things that would transpire in the heavenlies and our subject this afternoon will cover everything related to the underworld. Or hell we want to see things that hell is mentioned in the scriptures.

It's a scriptural Message, it's a message. You know, the book of Hebrews says that that that this message Called hell is really the foundational teaching. The Bible talks about eternal judgment as being one of the foundational teachings of our faith.

Guess what Saints this message of hell every one of us as believers should fully understand it. It's like the ABCs of The Christian faith. I want to talk a little bit about the disappearance of hell. This book hell under fire.

I would encourage you to get it. Albert Moeller jr. Wrote the sudden disappearance of hell amounts to a theological mystery of sort. How did a doctrine so centrally enshrined in the system of theology?

Suffered suffered such a wholesale Abandonment. What can explain this radical reordering of Christian theology? He goes on to say. The answer to this mystery reveals much about the faith of Christianity in the modern world and warns.

Listen at this of greater theological compromises on the horizon. For as the church has continually been reminded listen at this no doctrine stands alone. Each doctrine is embedded in a system of theological convictions and expressions.

Take out the doctrine of hell and the entire shape of Christian theology is altered. Let me tell you some Saints, you know, we have all different types of compromises that have entered into our Theology and one reason is because this message of hell is not taught.

It's not bringing the balance, you know, we love heaven. We believe in heaven, but you know some Saints without hell you don't have heaven. You know something Saints. I have a right hand but you know, what makes my right hand right is the fact that I have a left hand.

Yeah, this left hand makes this the right hand. You know, you have a battery. A battery has a plus and a minus a positive and a negative. You know, the battery cannot work without the positive and the negative.

You got to have them both. He says here that the Christian doctrine suffers when we don't get the whole counsel of God. I want to challenge pastors here. Bring back this message to your body. Bring this message back to the church and watch revival spark in your church.

Defining Hell and Its Place in Christian Doctrine

Now our topics of discussion will be. I'm going to give you a definition of hell. I'm gonna give you a definition of hell. We're gonna look at some false views taught about hell. I'm gonna I'm gonna actually show you scripturally who created hell.

That's a great mystery. We're gonna look at hell is not a parable. I'm gonna give you the five compartments of hell. We're gonna see that hell is eternal and Then lastly my favorite we're gonna see the end of Satan in hell.

Hallelujah. First of all, let's define the term hell and I actually got this definition from the Zondervan I mean from the Webster dictionary and had I read depth Webster dictionary before I became a Christian I would have become a Christian because this definition would have gotten me saved.

Look what brother Webster said he says the existence of hell is irrefutably taught in the scripture as Both a place of the wicked dead and a condition of retribution for unredeemed man. He said the word carries the connotation of doom hopelessness and futility.

Its meaning is clear. It represents the place of future retribution the abode of the wicked a place of punishment. Hell is therefore both a condition of retribution and a place in which the retribution occurs in both these aspects the three basic ideas Associated with the concept of hell is is is reflected one an absence of righteousness to separation from God and three Judgment or eternal judgment.

Now, this is the Webster's dictionary. If I'd have read that man, I'd have gotten saved man. Webster preaching the gospel. Hell is a reality. Now I want to say this. I'm gonna give you some false views about him.

False Views of Hell in Modern Theology

You know something if we don't teach the truth in the church. Then the devil will will begin to teach but he won't teach the truth. I Want to show you this article this article amazing this article appeared in the US News and World Report July 2000.

I was so shocked at the cover of this article that I bought two of them. Because I couldn't believe that they would they would take on the subject of him. But you know something sayings if the preachers won't teach it then the devil's gonna teach it and What he's gonna do he's gonna give it to you in a warped way.

Look at this. Look at this this article hell a new vision of the netherworld. Now this is Newsweek. Newsweek understanding of hell here. We have the devil here. He's sitting there. He has on his his his his his shorts Bermuda shorts and he has a drink in his hand there and and Got some of his some of the people down in hell and got demons they're serving them drinks and stuff and back in the back.

There are people playing volleyball. Now this is the world's concept of hell. We're gonna find out sayings that this is not this is not the biblical view of here. We're gonna find out some things this this afternoon about hell.

Well, I want to quote from this magazine article what Newsweek said about hell and listen what it says. Page 45. It says with fire and brimstone out of fashion. Modern thinking says the netherworld isn't so hot after all does that make it true?

Because modern thinking now, you know, we changing with the time so hell is not as hot as you thought it was. Page 45 an influential Jesuit magazine with close ties to the Vatican hell the magazine declared is not a place but a state a Person state of being in which a person suffers from a deprivation of God.

A Few days later Pope John Paul the second told an audience at the Vatican that rather than a place Hell indicates the state of those who freely and definitely separate themselves from God to describe this godforsaken condition the pontiff said the Bible uses symbolic language that Figuratively portrays in a pool of fire those who exclude themselves from the lake of fire thus meeting with a second death.

You know, that's a bunch of hooblah. Look what it goes on to say. Page 45 subject the temporal hell. One scholar said once we discovered we could create hell on earth says one scholar it became silly.

To talk about it in a literal sense. Does that change it? I have people all the time preacher. This is hell on earth. Well, you may be living in hell on earth, but there's another hell. There's a there's a greater hell, you know, some people go from one hell to eternal hell.

Let's continue with the quote verse 45. Page 45. It says moreover the Pope declared that hell is not a punishment imposed eternally by God. But is the natural consequence of the unrepentant sinners choice to live apart from God.

The thought of hell said the Pope must not create anxiety or despair. But is a necessary and healthy reminder of freedom. What is that? Hooblah. This modern and more benign view of hell scholars say. Reflect a shift in much of Christian theology during the past hundred and fifty years away from literal imagery toward metaphors and symbols.

Hapel of the Catholic University said. He speaks of hell in terms of the reality of self. Isolation and being so completely turned in on yourself that you have no relationship at all. Hooblah. Googly guff.

Listen Saints if we don't teach the truth of it, then the world's gonna tackle it and they won't teach it correctly. Let me give you a few more here. Page 50. Many theological thinkers continue to reject any notion of hell that smacks of the supernatural.

For them health health. Hell's frightful imagery is paled by the flames of Hiroshima and the Holocaust. The only real hell they say is the here and now. Don't believe the lie. Want to quote another one more for you the electronic library reports?

And I'm so glad that he mentioned about England the state of England the church in England. What has happened today with the state of England? I mean, I mean the I mean the country of England and the church.

Electronic library reports the Church of England has redefined hell as non-being. The Church of England the official Church of Great Britain has completed its mystery of salvation begun in 1989. They redefined hell and it does not include the fine brimstone that one might suspect.

This is hell as described in the Church of England's Doctrine Commission Report hell is the final and irrevocable choosing of that which which is opposite to God. So completely and so absolutely that all that the only end is total non being.

Now listen. Because so-called scholars want to change what the Bible says that does not make it a reality. Let me tell you some say Jesus talked so much about hell in his ministry because he understood the reality of it.

If we don't teach a sound clear message in this end time. Listen we're gonna wind up like the Church of England. We're gonna wind up with with all these falsehoods all these crazy doctrines because there's no fear of God anymore.

Hell is real and We're gonna see it. Now who created hell? When I was a young man growing up, I always thought that Satan created hell as a matter of fact. I was a young man whenever I saw hell I saw the devil with a red slicker suit on and a pitchfork in his hand.

God Created Hell for the Devil and His Angels

All my life. I thought the devil controlled hell as a young man. I remember watching a movie one time with Sammy Davis jr. In this movie Sammy Davis jr. Went to hell. One of his jobs was to throw the coals on the fire.

So as a young man, I say when I go to hell that's gonna be my job. I'm gonna keep them sinners burning man. I Want to make friends with the devil? So here give me the coal slushing job. But you know some Saints.

That's not true. Who created hell? Many would be surprised to know It was God. The Bible says God so loved the world that he did what? He gave his only begotten Son, but the Bible also lets us know that that very God that loved the world also created Hell, you know what hell is.

Saints hell is unadulterated wrath of God. Hell is 100 anger of God against rebellion and sin. Let me show you this verse. Matthew 25 verse 41 Jesus talking he says then shall he say also to them on the left hand.

Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for who. For the devil and his angel listen Saints in the beginning hell was never created for mankind. It was never God's desire that his ultimate creation mankind would go to hell.

But hell was created for the devil. It was created for Satan and his angels. It's a created place. You know something. The devil understands hell, but he don't want us to understand it. Let me give a good example remember when Jesus met the man of Gadara.

This man had 2 ,000 demons in him. The Bible tells us that when when this man came to Jesus He worshipped Christ and and said that he was the Son of God. But then those demons 2 ,000 of them begin to beg Jesus for mercy.

Listen what they said. They said art thou come to torment us before the time. These demons beg Jesus art thou come to torment us before the time. Let us go into the swine. These demons begs Jesus let us go into the swine.

Jesus said go. 2 ,000 demons hit the swine man. He didn't stay there five hours casting out devils. He said go and they went. You know why? Because they understand the end of the story. They understand their eternal judgment.

As a young man, I was growing up and I was always taught that I should never study the book of Revelation. I Was taught that if I was to study the book of Revelation, it would run me crazy. It would run me crazy.

I Would become a crazy. I would I become psycho. So guess what when I became a Christian Saints, that was one book I stayed out of and Lo and behold God had a sense of humor. And he called this little preacher to teach Bible prophecy.

And as I began to study the prophetic word I found out a powerful truth that the devil didn't want me to know and it was that God had in the book of Revelation the devil's in. That's okay all these years.

You told me that lie because you didn't want me to know that God is gonna that the Father God has a judgment for you. God created this place for the devil and his angel, but you know some Saints because of the fall of man.

The Bible lets us know that God had to accommodate the fall of man. I want to give you a verse here the book of Isaiah chapter 5 verse 13 and 14 verse 13 says therefore God says therefore my people are gone into captivity because they have no knowledge and Their honorable men are famished and their multitudes dry up with thirst.

He said in verse 14 therefore hell have enlarged in herself and Opened her mouth without measure and their glory and their multitude and their pomp of fame and he that rejoiceth Shall descend into it.

God says because of man's ignorance because of man's sin God had to accommodate the fall of man and enlarge in hell. Listen Saints, it was never the will of God for man to go there. But because of his rejection God had to accommodate him.

Hell is a reality and we need to understand it now. I want to look at some scriptures here and we're gonna look at hell as not being a parable. I Remember time I was a young Christian wasn't really in the scriptures and this Jehovah's Witness came to my house and the lady began to talk to me about the scriptures and When she left I was I was tossed in to and fro on the wave of every sea.

I didn't know whether hell was real or not after this lady got through with me because I didn't know the scriptures and The Lord challenged me. He said son you need to get in the word as I begin to study the scripture God began to open up the scripture and tell me the truth about it.

And I said Lord, why didn't you give me these verses when this lady was here? He said son, I allowed it to happen to challenge you to get into the word. Well, what's commonly taught is that hell is a parable or Luke 16.

The Rich Man and Lazarus: Hell Is Not a Parable

I want to give you the account here. Luke 16 is normally Written as a parable or they call it a parable some of your Bibles in the in the headers. It may say the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. I want to show you today that hell in Luke 16 is not a parable to show you why we're gonna look at hell here.

And this is Jesus account. Look with me in your Bibles the gospel of Luke chapter 16 verse 19 Jesus said and there was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen and Fares sumptuously every day.

This was a rich man. He lived very good now. We're gonna find it today to say that this man did not go to go to hell because he was rich either. I'm gonna show I'm gonna tell you why he went to hell. So those of you that are rich you can breathe a sigh of relief.

Verse 20 He said and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus Which was clothed which was laid at his gate full of sores and Desiring to be fed with crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores.

Jesus is given this account to his disciples. Verse 22 says and it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. Now I'm gonna go a little more in depth as we go further to explain Abraham's bosom.

It is a compartment or it was a compartment of hell. It says he was he died and was buried and he was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried verse 23 and in hell he lifted up his eyes being in torments and seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom and he cried and said father Abraham have mercy on me and Send Lazarus that he may that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame.

Here the Savior Jesus Christ has given us an account of a man going to hell. We can also see saying that this particular account when Jesus gave it Prophetically that it was it was right on time. It was before the cross.

This man literally died without an atonement on him. So therefore when this rich man died, he literally went to hell now. We know the story when a person died. We buried their flesh and some people teach that when you die, you go to soul sleep and that's it.

Don't believe it. Some teach that when you die, you go to the dust and that's the end of it. Don't believe it. For the redeemed the Bible says when we die, we're absent from the body and we're what? Present with the Lord but on the other side of the corn when I went up when an unredeemed man dies a Person dies without Jesus Christ.

He's absent from his body, but he's present in hell. This rich man died natural state of affairs for the human life. He died. He was buried and in hell he lift up his eyes. Most scholars called this a intermediate body.

Christians that go to heaven before their resurrection are in heaven in enter into in a intermediate body. So also is the unredeemed. It's a body. It's it's a real body. It's an intermediate body. But when that man goes to hell he feels the flames of it.

Guess what saying he don't go to sleep. He doesn't Reincarnate to a frog or tree a pig and listen, he goes into a place. That's a reality. The Bible tells us here in verse 24 that when this man went there he realized that he was in torments.

He begged Lazarus, I mean Abraham to send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger and cool his tongue. Just give me one drop of water. One drop, that's all I want. Let's go on verse 25, but Abraham said son.

Remember thou in thy lifetime. Receivers thou good things and likewise Lazarus evil things, but now he is comforted and thou art tormented. Listen. Abraham said son. Remember in thy Lifetime listen, this is where you get it, right.

Saints. This is where you get it, right. Today if you hear an assignment voice and you're not born again while you have breath in your lungs is where you get it. Right is in your lifetime. Because if you cross the door of death without the blood of Christ guess where you will wind up today.

He said in thy lifetime You receive good things, but Lazarus evil bad things, but now Lazarus is Comforted. Where Lazarus was was a place of comfort. But now where you are is a place of torment. Abraham said and besides all this between us and you is a great golf fix.

So that they which would pass from hence to you cannot and neither can they pass to us that would come from thence. Then he said I pray thee therefore father. I beg you father Abraham that thou would ascend him to my father's house.

You know some Saints in hell. There's a lot of praying going on. But it's too late. You know pastor if you preach the reality of hell your prayer meetings would be would be bigger and fuller. You know some Saints, you know in hell.

False theology is corrected. You know something. Tonight this morning this afternoon when it whatever it is around the world. You know Darwin if he didn't give his life right to God he know that God is real.

Yeah, yeah, if you got some warped ideas about what the Bible teach in hell is all straightened out. But guess what it's too late. It's too late. Let me tell you some there are people today. I guarantee if we could bring them out of hell for one service.

They would change the world. They would give a message. They would come back. The wealthy who've died outside of Christ if they can come back. They would they would trade their wealth with you right now just to have the opportunity to serve God.

He said in my lifetime. In my lifetime. Let's go on to verse 28. The rich man said I have five brethren. He says send Lazarus to my house. I got five brethren that he may testify to them lest they also come to this place of torment now.

We read the account here the verses before when this man before he died. He had no compassion on anyone. Lazarus laid at his gate and this man drove his big Cadillac chariot right past him. Lazarus beggar give me some bread and the man just passed right by he had no compassion for nobody.

But now in hell this man has compassion he's even thinking about somebody else now his brothers Abraham said unto him. They have Moses and the prophets let them hear them. And he said nay father Abraham, but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

And he said unto him listen at this if they hear not Moses and the prophets. Neither will they be persuaded the one rose from the dead. Look in this account. We're gonna see verse 30 here. This man gonna let us know why he went there.

He went to hell because the Bible says his brothers would repent implying. He didn't repent. Abraham said that they have Moses and The prophets remember I shared earlier that this particular account here was prophetically correct.

It was before the cross guess what the law of Moses was still in effect before Jesus died on Calvary. As Jesus give this account the prophetic timing is correct. This man he must have an atonement on his life, but it wasn't there.

He said your brothers your brothers. He said a miracle won't do it for him. These these boys have Moses in the prop. They have the law of God. If they don't respond to that law your brothers will also come to this place of hell.

Now I want to show you again says why Luke 16 is not a parable in this account that Jesus gave here. He talked about father Abraham. He talked about Moses and he talked about the prophets. These are not fictitious characters, these are not you know.

Just just just characters we throw around. These are the fathers of the faith. Luke 16 is an actual count of a man going to hell. Saints hell is real. It's a real place. You don't want to go there. It's a real place.

Now I will give you a parable and for time say I'm not gonna read it. But I want to give you the verses here. Matthew 13 verses 24 through 30. This is the parable of the wheat and tares. Jesus did give a parable about hell.

But guess what says that parable end up with the same result that we just read hell is hot and you don't want to go there. In verses 36 to 43 of Matthew 13 Jesus gives the literal interpretation of Hell and he talks about when those that go there they would go then there'd be cast in the fire to be burned.

Hell is real. It's a reality. Now, let me give you this. I want to give you the compartments of here. The Bible is clearly teaches the compartments if you look at the chart I want to show you the five compartments and then we'll actually Explain them.

The Five Compartments of Hell

The first compartment was called Abraham's bosom, which I'll explain in a few seconds. We have Hades and Sheol. This is a compartment called Hades and Sheol. We have Tartarus is another compartment of hell.

We have the abyss or the bottomless pit and then we have the lake of fire. So there's five compartments that we can see. So let's look at the first one. I'm gonna give you Abraham's bosom. Abraham's bosom is the place referred to as the paradise of old.

It was a compartment where all righteous dead of the Old Testament were kept. There was no torment or suffering in Abraham's bosom. It was simply a place of holding until the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Jesus paid the price by shedding his blood and at the resurrection of Jesus Abraham's bosom was emptied and removed from the heart of the earth and is now located in heaven. All the captives were set free and resurrected.

This was before the cross. You see the cross here. Abraham's bosom was before the cross. This was a place that God prepared in the underworld for the redeemed. Those that had the atonement those that had a blood I mean a bullock a red heifer a turtle dove some type of sacrifice that covered them.

When they died as they were obedient to what God prescribed God had a place of comfort for them. Evidently when Lazarus went there he went to a place of comfort. I'll give you another good example in the scripture about it.

You remember when Jesus was on the cross and he met the man at the cross and he the man said Lord Jesus. He said when you come into your kingdom, remember me, what did Jesus tell that man? He said this day you would be with me where in Paradise.

Now we know based on the scripture that Jesus did not go into the third heaven first. He said this day you'll be with me in Paradise. In other words Jesus took that man to Abraham's bosom. The Bible said that Christ must descend before he ascended.

He said this day. So that man went to Abraham's bosom. It was a place of comfort for the redeemed before the cross. But after the cross we no longer go to Abraham's bosom as Paul shared after the body present with the Lord now Hades and Sheol.

The term Hades and her term Hades is the Greek form of the word hell. The definition of the word Hades is as follow the place or state of departed souls. The term Sheol is the Hebrew word for hell. In the Hebrew language the word Sheol is defined as Hades or the world of the dead as Is a subterranean retreat its advent its associates and inmates the grave hell and the pit.

Hades and Sheol is the Greek and Hebrew form of the word hell and the reason why I want to give you this because Most times when the Jehovah's Witnesses come to you they come to you pushing Greek and Hebrew terms and They tell you that all hell is is the common grave.

Don't believe it. It's more to it than just a common grave. Hades and Sheol is a compartment in the underworld where the spirit and soul of the unredeemed go after death. As I said earlier when when when when when this man died in sin They buried his flesh but immediately his spirit and soul went to Hades and Sheol.

Now look at Tartarus another compartment of hell. Tartarus is the Greek form of the word hell. It is a compartment where fallen angels are kept Reserved in chains of darkness until the until they are judged by God and cast into the final hell the lake of fire.

You find this in 2nd Peter chapter 2 verse 4 and Jude 1 verse 6. 2nd Peter says. For if God spared not the angels that sin but cast them down to hell the Greek term of that word there is Tartarus and Delivered them into chains of darkness to be reserved unto the judgment.

Now these angels were angels that this is not all of Satan's angels. Just a certain group of angels sent on assignment. The Bible said that these angels left their habitation. They tried to cohabitate with man.

I really believe what the devil was trying to do was trying to get into the seat of man. Because he knew that the seat of man was going to judge him and God judged these angels on assignment. The Bible said that these angels here are reserved in Tartarus until the judgment.

Now it's not all of Satan's angels that were that were that were on assignment on this one. But these overstepped their bounds in what in which in what God would allow them to do in the earth. And God judged them Tartarus.

The Abyss and the Lake of Fire

Let's go to the next compartment the abyss. The abyss the abyss or the bottomless pit is a compartment of hell where Satan will be bound for 1 ,000 years during the reign of Christ. Revelation 20 verses 1 through 7 also during the time of the Great Tribulation.

It would be the place where the where the locust like scorpion creatures will come to torment mankind for five months. Revelation 9 verses 1 through 11 during the tribulation season when the twin the twin when the fifth trumpet is blown in the tribulation.

The Bible talks about these locust like creatures that will come out of the bottomless pit like a swarm. The Bible says they will come on assignment to torment men for five months in the tribulation. The Bible says those men who don't have the seal of God in their forehead will be touched by these locusts.

The Bible says men was men would try to kill them. So they would seek death and God would not allow them to die for five months. These locusts are coming out of the bottomless pit. It's real Saints. Now, let's go and let me give you the last compartment the lake of fire.

The lake of fire is the eternal home of all sin and rebellion. Another name for this place is called Gehenna. At the close of the great white throne judgment. God will. God will be. I'm sorry at the close of the great white throne.

This will be the home of the wicked. Revelation 20 verse 11 through 15. Satan will be there for all eternity and will be tormented day and night forever and ever having no rest. Also Hades and Sheol will be cast into the eternal hell.
