Jerusalem’s inhabitants understood what Jesus meant when he told the wicked religious leaders: “Serpents, offspring of vipers, how are you to flee from the judgment of Gehenna?” (Matthew 23:33) Jesus plainly did not mean that those religious leaders would be tormented. Why, when the Israelites were burning their children alive in that valley, God said that to do such a horrible thing had never come up into his heart! So it was clear that Jesus was using Gehenna as a fitting symbol of complete and everlasting destruction. He meant that those wicked religious leaders were not worthy of a resurrection. Those listening to Jesus could understand that those going to Gehenna, like so much garbage, would be destroyed forever.
What, then, is “the lake of fire” mentioned in the Bible book of Revelation? It has a meaning similar to that of Gehenna. It means not conscious torment but everlasting death, or destruction. Notice how the Bible itself says this at Revelation 20:14: “And death and Hades [hell, King James Version and Douay Version] were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.” Yes, the lake of fire means “second death,” the death from which there is no resurrection. It is evident that this “lake” is a symbol, because death and hell (Hades) are thrown into it. Death and hell cannot literally be burned. But they can, and will, be done away with, or destroyed.

The lake of fire or hell is made for those who hate God and or the children of Satan. All humans are not children of God.
Who said the the people in the middle east are Israel? Which Israel are you talking about? The people you are talking about are the very ones who will bring in the false Christ.
Best regards

If people really want to understand. They need to get out of kindergarten, and get in the advanced class.
We are asked to think of things spiritually, not materially. In other
words, as reality, not childrens stories.
The Lake of Fire is a force of nature. A spiritual recycler, that
refines unused energies so Creation can reuse them. At some point God WILL cut stupid spirits off. And they will be left to die in these forces. Not because of God. But due to their own spiritual laziness.

God did not make the place for man but for the rebellious angles.
Jud 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Hell and the Lake of Fire was made for the angles first.When the devil
deceived Eve and Adam choose to follow Eve man was destined for the Lake of fire also.God saved Adam and Eve and taught them how to teach
their children how to be saved also.They taught them when God called them to Put their FAITH in Gods Word they to would be saved.The Holy
Spirit would lead and guide them in their walk.The first church service
proves this fact.Cain tried to please God by the works of his hands and
God REJECTED IT.Able BY FAITH sacrificed on the altar a BLOOD
SACRIFICE and GOD ACCEPTED his until Jesus came .
God would not be a Righteous God if he let one sin go unpunished
that is why the Lake of Fire EXIST to punish the rebellious angles and
UNBELIEVING MANKIND.God has done all he can do he has made a way for us to be saved and go live with him forever IF WE JUST BELIEVE HIS WORD.
Joh 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
God is calling just receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
In Christ in Love,

He has a lake of fire because some ******* decided he had one. Those ******* wrote the bible some 400 years after Christs supposed life and death.

Laylo Q,
If you are referring to the Old Testament where they were complaining at every turn, that generation did die. But God always keeps a remnant. That's the way He is.

God gets sexual pleasure out of punishing people; that is why things are so bad on Earth.
That is why there is a thing known as forbidden pleasure. It is a pleasure that only Gods are allowed to feel. Better than a 1000 orgasms in magnitude.
It is his evil that makes the world so bad and he pretends to love us inorder to get us to carry on doing as he tells us to do.
The fires in hell are for people to burn in for all eternity and the pain is of infinite magnetude.
I would say that the best thing to do is to follow the athiest and follow Satan.
Do kind things, not evil things like God. Satan was probably lied about by God, so follow the givers of pleasure and all will be yours.
Saying this gives me PLEASURE!!!!!! ***INTENSE*** PLEASURE!!!!!!!

I've always wondered why people think God wrote the Bible.
