Dear C-B,
I appreciate your long discourse, but you missed my point of giving an example of the type of burning garbage pit fire that I think inspired what was written in the Bible.
Thus, relax and think of how you explain things to folks so that they understand what you are saying. Regarding the garbage at Graf, yep, it turned to ash and then into mud when it rained there, but then that was only earthly garbage I am talking about.

The fire outside of Jerusalem was simply a way to relate at the time in that the fire never stopped burning.
I should have also mentioned that the fire outside of Jerusalem is called Gehenna. In Revelation that word is not used but the literal words for “lake of fire” is. So any attempt to hide behind the Greek does not work for those trying to deny the end of evil and it’s followers.
