Hell is the place
of eternal punishment
and separation from God.
And these shall go away
into everlasting punishment:
but the righteous into life eternal.
Fear him which is able
to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Hell is the place of conscious, eternal punishment prepared for the devil and his angels, and for those who reject the salvation offered in Jesus Christ. It is described as everlasting fire, outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth, and torment. Jesus spoke of hell more than anyone else in Scripture and warned men to flee from the wrath to come. The final destiny of the lost is the lake of fire, which is the second death. Hell is the opposite of heaven and of eternal life with God.
