ETERNAL TORMENT IN THE LAKE OF FIRE... FOREVER
by Alan Yusko
There are many false teachers out there who love to deny bible doctrine. One doctrine they love to deny is eternal torment in the lake of fire for the lost. They have all kinds of foolish arguments to prove their point. But the Bible gives a different story. The lost soul is not destroyed and no longer exists. Rather, the lost soul suffers for all eternity in torment in the lake of fire. Have a look at these verses below:
Rev 14: 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 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.
Look at v 11. Their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night.. That is not a total destruction but rather conscious torment forever. The scripture is clear the lost will suffer forever in torment in the lake of fire. Sad.. but true.
The next verse is about the end of the antichrist and the false prophet.
Revelation 19:20
“And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.”
In Rev 19 the Lord Jesus comes back to planet earth. Here we see the antichrist and false prophet are taken and cast alive into the lake of fire burning with fire and brimstone. They are conscious and alive and suffer conscious torment in the lake of fire.
After this the Lord Jesus sets up His 1000 year kingdom on earth and rules with peace and prosperity for all. At the end of the 1000 year kingdom the devil is released for a short time. Then he is cast forever into the lake of fire. Notice this. The beast and the false prophet are already in there and still suffering torment. The devil will join them and suffer torment for all eternity... forever and ever.
Revelation 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.”
It is impossible to argue with this proof from the word of God about the eternal torment of the lost in the lake of fire. It is conscious torment forever and ever.
So you better be sure you are saved. Admit you are a lost sinner and trust the Lord Jesus alone for eternal salvation. Do it now as tomorrow may be too late for you.
REPENTANCE: PART OF SALVATION Alan Yusko I have see confused believers or even false teachers make the foolish claim that repentance is not needed for salvation. Well, they are wrong and lack a proper understanding to the gospel that saves. You see if a person loves sin, he/she can never be saved. This is where repentance comes in. It is a hatred of sin and a desire to be free from it. Then come to the Lord Jesus and trust in Him alone for eternal salvation. This is how one may be saved. But false teachers do not see repentance in their favorate salvation verse so they twist the scriptures and claim it is not a part of salvation. Below are several verses in the New Testament that apply to a lost soul that desires to be saved. Just admit to the Lord you are a lost sinner and hate your sin. Then come to the Lord Jesus for eternal salvation. Acts 3:19 “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence o...
