Luke 13:23-28
23 Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?”
And He said to them, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from,’ 26 then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ 27 But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’ 28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.

THE HELLS IN THE BIBLE
The nearest I can figure it out, hell [ and hells ], was created by the people and some deserve to go to places they created. Tophet, Gehenna or Valley of the son of Hinnom hell fire, death and burial by fire or burial by fire [ some in human sacrifice in the fire 2Chr.28:1-4];
Jer.7:30.31; 19:2-5; king Josiah turned it into Mark 9:42-48; the city dump, so it counts nothing for apostles of Jesus Matt.10:28;
Tartarus prison hell. For the angels that sin, Jude 6 [ before flood ], 1Pet.3:18-20 [ Jesus went to visit the angels that sinned before the flood ]; 2Pet.2:4;
the angels that sinned before the flood, kept from doing it again.
The gates of hell or the gates of the grave Matt.16:18; Isa.38:10;
As for Sepulchre, cave, pit, tomb, grave hell, cemetery or burial grounds where most are resurrected from, some from seas or death itself.
Acts 2:27-35; Resurrection of Jesus from hell John 19:38-42; his cave grave.
David was still dead in his sepulchre, cave, pit, tomb, grave hell burial place.
John 3:13-17; No heavenly raised up Rom.16:20; to time of the end when
Satan cast down to earth out of heaven to have a short time Rev.12:3,4,6-11,12;
Rev.20:1-6,12,13;
No Satan 1000 years. 1Cor.15:22-28; Resurrection in order, heavenly first.
Rev.3:12;
The heavenly [ for the new heavens ], are with Jesus, to resurrect the dead as earthly [ for the new earth Isa.65:17 ]; 2Pet.3:13;
After the 1000 years. Rev.7-10; No Satan as he is cast into the lake of fire,
fire rains down from heaven to devour men that are like unto Satan. Rev,21:8 [ some deserve the second death, why is beyond imagination ];
Rich man and Lazarus:
Belief of the Pharisee leaders, who did not know Moses and the prophets, but as Babylon a good reward for the best and a bad for the worst, but a sick man is
of the blessed of Abraham through Christ. Only Jesus followers world know the truth here Luke 16:16,17,29,31; If you find it in the law and the prophets, you find the truth. Gen.3:9; Death is opposite of life, there is no living dead.

I've wondered about this myself. But I heard one guy explain it this way.
We don't feel bad when a person steps on an ant. It's just an insect.
Now if we saw this same person start to tease and torment a bird, we'd become rather offended...If we saw this individual begin to torture a cat or a dog---abusing it and being cruel...We'd want them to go to jail!! And people have.
Now, if we saw this same person take a child, and with it's perverted and twisted mind begin to destroy and attack, viciously abuse and eventually kill the child...The death sentence doesn't seem nice enough.
Now to look up and see a Holy God. And to realize that every single day we are given freely every single blessing of life. Every opportunity of happiness. Sunshine. The air to breath. Water. Our very beating heart. (Especially us in America where we have access to the delights of living.) And yet we refuse to thank him for it. We refuse to even acknowledge his presence...Don't you think that we would deserve something? Don't you think that there will be some sense of "justice served" to those who go to hell?
His view-point made sense...

Personally I think it will have the same effect on God as it would any loving parent who has lost a child to torment.
Whenever a person goes to hell they are trespassing into an area which they don't belong and never will because hell wasn't created for Gods children but was created for Lucifer and the fallen angels.
Can you for just one moment imagine how this must look to God?
Satan separated us from our Father,killed us and made us a slave to sin.
Then God tries to save us and even dies for us in our place so we wouldn't have to die and instead of running to Him and leaving our tormentor behind we say "I don't know you" and we chose our tormentor instead and continue to live as a slave and eventually end up in the same prison our Heavenly Father built to hold our tormentor.
How it must hurt God to see His children chose the very one who hates us the most instead of choosing Him who loves us and wants to save us so we can go home where we belong.
I guess only God can deal with that kind of pain because if that ever happened to my child I think it would kill me.

Let me ask you a question and perhaps the answer that you give me, will answer your own question. in John 3:16 the bible says: For God so loved the world, that he sent his only begotten son, that whosever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. God said, that he does not get pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 33: 11) but that the wicked turn from his ways and live. So, in other words, it displeases God to see anyone go to hell.

GOD will proclaim, "This is a day when the truthful will be saved by their truthfulness."
On The Day Of Resurrection
[5:116] GOD will say, "O Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to the people, `Make me and my mother idols beside GOD?' " He will say, "Be You glorified. I could not utter what was not right. Had I said it, You already would have known it. You know my thoughts, and I do not know Your thoughts. You know all the secrets.
[5:117] "I told them only what You commanded me to say, that: `You shall worship GOD, my Lord and your Lord.' I was a witness among them for as long as I lived with them. When You terminated my life on earth, You became the Watcher over them. You witness all things.
[5:118] "If You punish them, they are Your constituents. If You forgive them, You are the Almighty, Most Wise."
[5:119] GOD will proclaim, "This is a day when the truthful will be saved by their truthfulness." They have deserved gardens with flowing streams. They abide therein forever. GOD is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. This is the greatest triumph.
[5:120] To GOD belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and everything in them, and He is Omnipotent.
The True Founder of Christianity
Did Jesus or his Apostles follow a religion called Christianity? Who were the first 'Christians' ? Who founded Christianity and do the teachings of Christianity conform to the teachings of Jesus?
The teachings of Paul, the true founder of Christianity, cannot be found anywhere in the teachings of Jesus or in those of prophets before him.

Sorrowful.
He wept over the people in Jerusalem who did not receive Him.
He said, "If you would have known what would have brought you peace... but now it is hidden from your eyes."
He loved His Jewish people and all the people of the world enough to be the atonement for all sin.
I am sure that He will say with sorrow in His voice, "Depart from Me."
But right now His arms and heart is wide open to all who are listening to the Father's voice.
"To as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God."

Isaiah 28:21 Â For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
It will be a "strange act". It will be a very sad and terrible day for all of creation and our CREATOR.
GOD bless

Hmm...usually when I'm feeling quite delusional I portend to know how Jesus feels. But honestly, today is not one of those days.

For those who end up in the grave?
Nothing.
Ezekiel 9:. Let not your eye feel sorry, and do not feel any compassion.
As there is no eternal hellfire torment, God, nor his son Jesus, will have to feel bad about anyone who dies forever.
Hellfire, and eternal torment, are lies invented by God's chief adversary-Satan.
Deuteronomy 7:. Your eye must not feel sorry for them; and you must not serve their gods, because that will be a snare to you.
Deuteronomy 13:6 “In case your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or your cherished wife or your companion who is like your own soul, should try to allure you in secrecy, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ whom you have not known, neither you nor your forefathers, 7 some of the gods of the peoples who are all around YOU, the ones near you or those far away from you, from one end of the land to the other end of the land, 8 you must not accede to his wish or listen to him, nor should your eye feel sorry for him, nor must you feel compassion, nor cover him [protectively];
Deuteronomy 19:11 “But in case there should happen to be a man hating his fellowman, and he has lain in wait for him and has risen up against him and struck his soul fatally and he has died, and the man has fled to one of these cities, 12 the older men of his city must then send and take him from there, and they must deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, and he must die. 13 Your eye should not feel sorry for him, and you must clear away the guilt of innocent blood out of Israel, that you may have good.
Ezekiel 5:11 “‘Therefore as I am alive,’ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, ‘surely for the reason that it was my sanctuary that you defiled with all your disgusting things and with all your detestable things, I myself also am the One that will diminish [you] and my eye will not feel sorry and I myself also will not show compassion.
Many times, God says he will not feel sorry for those who are desiring to do what is bad, (even though they know better),
so, Jesus, being God's son, would not feel sorry just as his father does not.
