Not likely... because God is in Hell.. He is omnipresent

That is the most bizarre comment I have ever read.

He means that you cannot restrict God to a spatial existence

“Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.” (Psalms 139:7-8)

But God does dwell in Heaven, which is His throne, and in the believer by His Spirit, thanks be to God.

“Not likely... because God is in Hell.. He is omnipresent”

“That is the most bizarre comment I have ever read.”

Rev 14

9And 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,

10The 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

11And 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.

One may have all sorts of interpretations of the beast depending on one’s prophetic persuasion, however this obviously refers to everlasting punishment in God’s presence. While, in the present age, Christ is the light of the world, for those who are cast into “outer darkness” He is no longer the light, although He is present. That, surely, is a major part of the torment.
