I do not call it an allegory,

Is the (soon) return of Messiah with vengeance and wrath (upon this physical Earth) also an allegory? Is what Jesus called the ‘great tribulation’ only for a short time and for the flesh alone? And if so, then how much time is too much time to dispense it?

And yes the communication between Lazarus and the rich man occurred before hell is thrown into the lake of fire, which does not happen until the end of the age, and more importantly it occurred prior to Jesus being in the Earth three days and three nights as the Sign of Jonas, (from the 14th of Nisan to the 17th of Nisan) What was happening at that time?

Thanks for the link above, but there are much better ones to support such an opinion, this one is flesh and has the spirit of fear throughout. In fact I read one the other day that made a far more convincing case, which is why I commented here at all.

I tend to see those that have lost (whom they believe as unsaved) loved ones as being particularly susceptible, or those following some of the more persuasive cults. While I could hope myself that all torment is forever extinguished, I cannot even in the flesh (seeing through a glass darkly) through the faith in the word, ever hope to reconcile that desire with the ultimate accounting for those rejecting his pardon, and that reconciliation is not given to us, they rejected the Lamb slain [before] the foundation of the world, and its only the flesh that bothers about the accounting in time,

Some of Jesus stories were stories. Some were references to old testament scripture. Some were parables. Some were prophesy, some were warnings. Lazarus and the rich man fall into the first, with an allegorical meaning. But the other examples you give are not the same thing and don't compare, just as they don't compare to the parable of the mustard seed.

Lazarus and the rich man is nicely dissected here: http://bible-truths.com/lazarus.html
