Why would a man who rejected God in life begin to love Him in death while experiencing His pent-up wrath? Natural men alive on Earth have no ability to stop sinning, what evidence is there dead men in Hell have such an ability?
I believe the Bible clearly teaches Hell is forever. All those not in Christ will experience God’s wrath for their sin forever. What that really looks like I can only imagine. All I know is that the cup of His wrath will be perfectly measured and just in proportion with their sin and that all rebels will be made to drink the wine of His fury to the dregs.
“For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup with foaming wine, well mixed,
and he pours out from it, and all the wicked of the earth shall drain it down to the dregs.”
—Psalm 75:8
I believe the Bible clearly teaches Hell is forever.
Actually, it teaches that hell is temporary and is itself thrown into the lake of fire. And the lake of fire is to the “second death” what being a lampstand is to being a church in revelation.
It is a euphemism, typical of the language of Revelation. The clear message that you can get from it is that those that are not saved are removed from revelence to the rest of us. It is finished.
