![]() Additional support for this view is found in Matthew 25:46 where Jesus Himself taught, "And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life" Just as heaven will offer eternal joy for the believer, this lake of fire will offer eternal torment for unbelievers. Further, the torment will last for eternity. What will this lake of fire be like? Verse 10 of this same chapter notes, "the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." Scripture indicates the devil, beast, and false prophet will also be in this lake of fire. Here, it is clear that the option for those whose names were "not found in the book of life" (those who did not believe in and belong to Christ) was the punishment of the lake of fire.

"And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. One clear example is found near the end of the Bible in Revelation 20:12-15: On the contrary, the Bible offers clear examples that only two alternatives exist upon death-eternity with God in glory or an eternity of suffering and separation from Him. The idea that unbelievers will not experience eternal punishment is attractive to many, yet the Bible offers no support for this belief. In other words, unbelievers will not experience eternal punishment in a literal hell, but will simply vanish (or have their souls extinguished) instead. It is the belief that unbelievers will be "wiped out" or "annihilated" sometime after death. noun annihilation The act of reducing to nothing, or nonexistence or the act of destroying the form or combination of parts under which a thing exists, so that the name can no longer be applied to it as, the annihilation of a corporation.Annihilationism is the teaching that those who die apart from Christ will simply cease to exist.the conversion of rest mass into energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. the process in which a particle and antiparticle unite, annihilate each other, and produce one or more photons. noun annihilation the state of being annihilated total destruction extinction: fear of nuclear annihilation.noun annihilation an act or instance of annihilating, or of completely destroying or defeating someone or something: the brutal annihilation of millions of people. ![]() The annihilation of a nucleon with its antiparticle generates several pions 3 The annihilation of an electron with a positron generates two or, very rarely, three photons of annihilation radiation.
