Then the king said to the attendants, Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the darkness outside; there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. Matthew 22:13
There will be those whose names will not be in the Book of Life and they will be cast into the Lake of Fire. Lately I have heard a lot of people saying and teaching that there is not a Hell. The Bible teaches us that there is a Hell. But remember in this parable of the Wedding Feast, Jesus only mentions a very small amount of people will be cast out of the very, very, full Wedding Supper of the Lamb. The glorious Truth is that far more people will be left on the earth as guests of the Bride, then will be cast into Hell. There is also another glorious Truth, those who are cast into Hell will consume away as smoke and there will not even be a coal of fire to warm yourself by, Psalm 37:20, Malachi 4:1, and Isaiah 47:14.
And if anyone's [name] was not found recorded in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15
The people who are cast into the Lake of Fire will simply cease to be, they will not suffer eternally as I was taught as a child. Look at 1 Thessalonians 1:9. The Holy Spirit teaches us that these people will be cast out of the presence, glory, and power of the Lord. Think about that, isn't our Father omnipotent? So the only way to be out of His presence is to not be at all. There is a Hell and we know for sure that at least one person will be cast into it and when he is, he will simply cease to be. Just like death and Hades will cease to be, so will those who are cast into the Lake of Fire.
I hope that it is just one person as Jesus taught in this parable of the Marriage Supper. It is my earnest prayer that only one person will ever commit Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and that the rest of humanity will be able to be forgiven. We may not all be Jesus' Bride, but amen, let's have a huge wedding and have billions upon billions of guests!
