“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.

Do you not understand what OMNIPRESENT means? It means God is EVERYWHERE..yes including hell

As Sproul notes...

A breath of relief is usually heard when someone declares, “Hell is a symbol for separation from God.” To be separated from God for eternity is no great threat to the impenitent person. The ungodly want nothing more than to be separated from God. Their problem in hell will not be separation from God, it will be the presence of God that will torment them. In hell, God will be present in the fullness of His divine wrath. He will be there to exercise His just punishment of the damned. They will know Him as an all-consuming fire.

Ps 139:8
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there
