Burning in hell for 70 years has probably changed Hitler’s opinion.

It's a bit early for that.

He is still asleep.

Psalm 13:3
Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,

 

Psalm 90:5
Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death— they are like the new grass of the morning:

 

Daniel 12:2
Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.
 
 
John 11:12-13
His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.”
Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.

 

1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Listen, I tell you a mystery:

We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.

For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

 

Ephesians 5:14
This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

 

 
1 Thessalonians 4:13
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.

I wonder if the Lake of Fire will be the earth itself.

We know “the earth abideth forever” (Ecclesiastes 1:4), and the earth “should not be removed forever” (Psalm 104:5). So the earth must be eternal. In 2 Peter 3:10-12 we see the wood, hay and stubble of earth being burned up, but the elements melting (just as in the Christian life). The wood, hay and stubble are burned, but the gold, silver and
precious stones (elements) come through the fire. All else will be destroyed because it has been touched by sin.

Now if the earth “abideth forever”, then the melted elements must combine with the magma and the earth becomes the lake of fire. Then the devil, the false prophet, death and hell are cast into the lake forever. A new heaven and new earth that has never been touched by sin will be the eternal home of those saved by the blood of our Lord Christ.

Peter confirms, “we.. look for.. a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.” This new earth will be like a born again person whose old “tabernacle” perishes at death. Also, the Bible says “there was no more sea.” That means no biosphere — the old earth will be sterile.

The pure in heart will live in a new heaven or earth that has never been touched by sin. There will be a separation (great gulf) between the two, and so goes eternity.

So where is Hell (LOF)? You’re standing on it!

Everyone who was left behind will remain right here. If you, I, or anyone wants to go to Hell, all we need to do is to simply sit on our collective butts and do nothing. Sooner or later, whether you are alive or in your grave, eventually you, me, and everyone else that remains on earth will fall in to this burning cauldron.

Or maybe not.

I’m just saying it seems to fit scripture pretty well.
