Please let's get things clear. I hope u all know Hell is real! U die a sinner u go there. In hell are pits of tomment where souls R caged/locked. In pits are crawling worms that keep eating the marrows of lost souls in bones, yet these worms R not consumed by flames. At every movement the soul feels pain!

will we work in heaven

To Answer the Four Statements :

"...The worm dies not..." is referring to the individual who is dead forever. This relates to the lake of fire, which is the second death (Revelation 20:14, 15). There is no returning from the second death. Hell in this scripture comes from the Greek word Gehenna; meaning a place of burning. Fire signifies destruction.

The ultimate judgment of whether one lives or dies forever is determined by Almighty God Jehovah. "Fear God and keep His commandments..." (Ecclesiastes 12:13, 14).

These are people like the Apostles that have been resurrected into heaven at Christ's coming (1 Thessalonians 4:16), they are told to rest for a little season until the remnant of the 144,000 are killed by the beast, then they will be resurrected (Revelation 11:2,3).

They have been resurrected into a spiritual body (John 3:5-8). They have been born again. The white robes are spirit bodies 1 John 3:1, 2).

why did jesus talk of a place where their worm does not die
why did jesus warn to be fearfull of the one who has power to throw both body and soul into hell
why does revelation describe the souls of those who were martyred as being under the altar, crying out to god asking how long before he takes vengance
why give something that doesnt exist a white robe and tell them to wait?

I agree with Guest User on "Only a Parable". The scriptures do not contradict themselves. There has to be an answer to the story of the rich man and Lazarus and what the scriptures teach about hell, that it is simply a grave. The rich man - Lazarus story (Luke chapter 16:19-31) is a parable. A parable has a lesson to be learned. This parable teaches that we must listen to the one who arose from the grave (Jesus the Christ) or we might suffer consequences as the Jews who would not listen to Moses and the prophets.

- At Jesus Christ's 2nd coming, there is a resurection of saints(1 Thessalonians 4:6, Revelation 6:9-11).

- After 1260 days, or 3 1/2 years, the remnant of saints on earth are killed and resurrected to be with the other saints in heaven (Revelation 6:11, Revelation 11:3-12).

- At the Seventh trumpet, a resurrection also occurs, "Reward to God's servants"(Revelation 11:18, Daniel 12:12,13, Psalm 37:34, Isaiah 26:19-21).

- After the thousand years are finished there is also a resurrection. (Revelation 20:7-15, Ezekiel 38:1-23)

Please read the Bible verses referenced for excellent study and research.

The problem with this article is that it teaches that sinners and saints get resurrected about the same time. They don't. Read the end of Revelations 19 and the beginning of Rev 20 carefully. The saints are resurrected for their judgement at the END of the tribulation, then the saints rule with Jesus for 1,000 years, at the end of which Satan is loosed for the final time, and earth's inhabitants who have never known sin will turn, many of them, to sin. They will all die, then all of the sinners will be resurrected for the Great White Throne Judgement, at which time those sinners (and hypocrites) are cast into the Lake of Fire with Satan and his demons.

The parable of Lazarus is one of the most misunderstood. It is, first of all, a parable. It is preceded and followed by parables. It cannot be used to "prove hell exists." The parable means that the Jews for a long time enjoyed fellowship with God, then later they lost it and the gentile had fellowship with God. Maybe this parable is a good picture of what the lake of fire looks like, possibly, but we must remember it is a parable.

What about spiritual death? And what about the rich man and Lazarus? The rich man had gone to hell and he felt torment. He wanted to come back and warn his family. He was told he couldn't. He begged for just a drop of water on his tongue to relieve his suffering.
