Saddam is standing at the lake of fire.
Unable to speak. Unable to move.
Just standing at the Lake of fire until judgement day comes.
End.
Ouch.
You said -- "Saddam is standing at the lake of fire.
Unable to speak. Unable to move.
Just standing at the Lake of fire until judgement day comes."
Well, nice poetry or sentiments, but not exactly correct.
From what the Bible says, all the unsaved dead are held in Hell, until their time of judgement. So, Hell is simply a holding cell until judgement. Prior to Jesus Christ coming, *all* were held in this holding place, but when Jesus came, He went down there to take out all those who are HIs and bring them back with Him. This He did at the time He was crucified.
Now, at the present time, all those who are in Christ are *immediately* taken to be with Him where He is now, in Heaven, with no wait in that same holding place of old. But, the unsaved are still there. They are waiting for the "Great White Throne Judgement" that is spoken about in Revelation 20. This happens at the end of the 1,000 year reign of Christ on this earth.
And *at that time* they are cast into the Lake of Fire, to be there forevermore.
