Is There Eternal Torment For The Unsaved????

THEN I saw a new sky (heaven) and a new earth, for the former sky and the former earth had passed away (vanished), and there no longer existed any sea. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, all arrayed like a bride beautified and adorned for her husband; Then I heard a mighty voice from the throne and I perceived its distinct words, saying, See! The abode of God is with men, and He will live (encamp, tent) among them; and they shall be His people, and God shall personally be with them and be their God. God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither shall there be anguish (sorrow and mourning) nor grief nor pain any more, for the old conditions and the former order of things have passed away. Revelation 21:1-4

Revelation 20:14 teaches us that death and Hades will be cast into the Lake of Fire before our Father makes all things new. Revelation 20 also teaches us that everyone whose name is not in the Book of Life will be cast into the Lake of Fire. Now we are shown that after all of these things happen, our Father will bring in a new Earth and a new Heaven. We see that our Father will dwell amongst men, and catch this Truth because it is important, our Father will dwell among men! Don’t just read it, take hold of it, our Father will now dwell amongst men! At this time our Father will take away every tear from men! Our Father takes death away from men! Our Father takes away anguish from men! Our Father takes away all pain from men! Our Father takes away all sorrow and mourning from men! All of the old tormenting conditions of men will pass away and everything will become new!

Now let me ask you this one simple question, if there is an eternity for the unsaved to be tormented in hell, how could all of this be true? Hell is nothing but death, sorrow, anguish, tears, and pain. The verses that we just studied clearly teach us that our Father removes all of these things away from men. The scriptures here do not teach us that these things are only removed from the chosen and saved, from the saints, from the children of God, or any other name that we have been given throughout scripture. Jesus clearly shows John that all of these things have been taken away from men! There is absolutely no scriptures that teach us that if we are sent to hell that we become something other than men. Jesus clearly teaches us that all of the pain, anguish, sorrow, and death have been taken away from men. So there cannot be an eternity of torment and sorrow for men in Hell, plain and simple.

But religion, at least the religion of my life, has always taught that there is an eternity for us in Heaven or in Hell. How can this be when Revelation 21 tells us that all of the tortures of Hell are done away with for men when the New Jerusalem and New Heaven are given! There is a really powerful Truth regarding the Revelation of Jesus as well, there is a curse if anyone adds to what Jesus told John in the Book of Revelation! So when John was specifically told that our Father will dwell with men and that He will remove all of the former sorrows from men, He meant just what He said, men! So to add that God only meant saved men, is adding to what was told!

We are going to study far more on the Truth that there is not an eternity of torture awaiting the unsaved. There is a Hell and yes there will be people who are thrown into it. But they are not eternally tortured, even though they are eternally punished. We will talk about this in future postings.
