1PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
Are the wicked being punished in hellfire now?
2 Peter 2:9
then the Lord knows how to deliver the
godly out of temptations and to reserve
the unjust under punishment for the
day of judgment,
1PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
The wicked are not being punished in
hell-fire now, but are preserved in the
grave (Job 21:29-32) until the Day of
Judgment to be punished.
2PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
How much of the wicked’s body will go
into hell-fire?
Mark 9:43-48
“If your hand causes you to sin, cut it
off. It is better for you to enter into life
maimed, rather than having two hands,
to go to hell, into fire that never shall be
quenched --
2PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
44- “where ‘Their worm does not die And
the fire is not quenched.’
45- “And if your foot causes you to sin,
cut it off. It is better for you to enter life
lame, rather than having two feet, to be
cast into hell, into the fire that shall
never be quenched -46- “where ‘Their worm does not die And
the fire is not quenched.’
2PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
47- “And if your eye causes you to sin,
pluck it out. It is better for thee to enter
the kingdom of God with one eye,
rather than having two eyes, to be cast
into hell fire-48- “where ‘Their worm does not die And
the fire is not quenched,’
2PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
When the wicked go into hell-fire, they
go there alive in bodily form with all
their members, two feet, two eyes, two
hands, Rev. 19:20; Matt. 5:30).
3PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
What is the second death?
Revelation 21:8
“But the cowardly, unbelieving,
abominable, murderers, sexually
immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all
liars shall have their part in the lake
which burns with fire and brimstone,
which is the second death.”
3PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
The casting of the wicked into the kale
of fire is the SECOND DEATH; therefore
they will not be cast into hell-fire UNTIL
THEY HAVE RECEIVED A SECOND
LIFE IN THE SECOND RESURRECTION
AT THE CLOSE OF THE 1,000 YEARS
OF REVELATION 20.
4PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
When will the wicked taste the second
death?
Matthew 13:40-42
“Therefore as the tares are gathered
and burned in the fire, so it shall be at
the end of this age.
4PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
41- “The Son of Man will send out His
angels, and they will gather out of His
kingdom all things that offend, and
those who practice lawlessness,
42- “and will cast them into the furnace of
fire. There shall be wailing and
gnashing of teeth.
4PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
So Jesus taught that the wicked, the
tares, would not be cast into the
furnace of fire until the end of the
world. In Matt. 25:31-41, Jesus plainly
teaches that the wicked will not go into
everlasting fire until the last day, when
He comes and all people are separated
into two great classes, one on the right
hand and the other on the left.
4PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
This separation will be at the close of
the 1,000 year period when the
righteous will all be inside the Holy
City, Jerusalem; the wicked of tall ages
will be on the outside of the Holy City.
5PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
Does hell exist today?
Revelation 20:7-9
Now when the thousand years have
expired, Satan will be released from his
prison
5PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
8- and will go out to deceive the nations
which are in the four corners of the
earth, God and Magog, to gather them
together to battle, whose number is as
the sand of the sea.
5PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
9- They went up on the breadth of the
earth and surrounded the camp of the
saints and the beloved city. And fire
came down from God out of heaven
and devoured them.
5PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
Hell, as a place of punishment, does
not exist at the present time, but hell
will be this earth turned into a great
fire-ball at the close of the 1,000 years
of Rev. 20 at the great Day of Judgment.
6PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
What will the wicked be doing when the
fire falls?
Zechariah 14:12
And this shall be the plague with which
the LORD will strike all the people who
fought against Jerusalem:
6PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
Their flesh shall dissolve while they
stand on their feet, Their eyes shall
dissolve in their sockets, And their
tongue shall dissolve in their mouths.
6PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
When the wicked are raised in the
second resurrection at the end of the
1,000 years, they will come up in bodily
form, and will march up to surround
and capture if possible the New
Jerusalem, which will then be resting
upon the earth.
6PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
God will then rain down coals of fire on
them, to punish them according to their
sins. This fire will not perpetuate their
existence, but will devour them and
wipe them out of existence, Rev. 20:9.
7PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
Will the earth melt from the heat?
2 Peter 3: 10,13
But the day of the Lord will come as a
thief in the night, in which the havens
will pass away with a great noise, and
the elements will melt with fervent heat;
both the earth and the works that are in
it will be burned up.
7PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
13- Nevertheless we, according to His
promise, look for new heavens and a
new earth in which righteousness
dwells.
7PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
In that day the dust of the earth will be
turned into brimstone, the land wand
the rivers into burning pitch. Thus the
earth will be melted into a lake of fire,
and when sin and sinners have been
forever destroyed, God will make this
molten mass into a perfect new earth.
7PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
The fact that this hell-fire into which the
wicked are cast will be made into a
sinless new earth is positive proof that
the wicked will not and cannot burn to
all eternity.
8PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
What is eternal fire?
Jude 7
as Sodom and Gomorrha and the cities
around them in a similar manner to
these, having given themselves over to
sexual immorality and going after
strange flesh, are set forth for as an
example, suffering the vengeance of
eternal fire.
8PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
The everlasting fire into which the
wicked are cast will be this lake of fire.
This does not mean (Matt. 25:41) that
the fire will burn through all eternity,
but rather that THE FIRE WILL BURN
THEM UP EVERLASTINGLY. We have
an example of eternal fire in the
everlasting destruction of Sodom and
Gomorrah.
9PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
What is an unquenchable fire?
Jeremiah 17:27
“But if you will not heed Me to hallow
the Sabbath day, such as not carrying a
burden when entering the gates of
Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I
will kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall
devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it
shall not be quenched.” ’ ”
9PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
To day the wicked will go into hell-fire
that will never be quenched does not
mean that the fire will burn through all
eternity. But as in the case of the
destruction of old Jerusalem by
Nebuchadnezzar, the fire will not and
cannot be put out until it has
accomplished its work of destruction, 2
Chron. 36:19-21. are not symbols of
eternal torment.
9PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
The never-quenched fire and undying
worm that Jesus mentions in Mark
9:43-48 refer to the type of destruction
of Jerusalem’s city dump: the Valley of
Hinnom which the bodies of dead
animals were cast. This word, “hellfire” comes from the Greek word,
“gehenna”, or Valley of Hinnom, where
the bodies of dean animals were cast
on the city dump to be devoured by
worms and fire.
9PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
Jesus took this as an illustration of
what that final lake of fire will do for the
wicked at the end of the 1,000 years of
Revelation 20. The never-quenched fire
and undying worm are symbols of utter
destruction, and are not symbols of
eternal torment.
10PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
What is the final disposition of the
wicked?
Malachi 4:1-3
“For behold, the day is coming,
Burning like an oven, And all the proud,
yes, all who do wickedly will be
stubble.
10PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
And the day which is coming shall
burn them up,” Says the LORD of
hosts, “That will leave them neither
root nor branch.
2- But to you who fear My name The Sun
of Righteousness shall arise With
healing in His wings; And you shall go
out And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
10PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
3- You shall trample the wicked; For they
shall be ashes under the soles of your
feet
On the day that I do this,” Says the
LORD of hosts.
The wicked will be destroyed and
reduced to ashes.
11PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
What happens to those who do not
receive eternal life?
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life.
11PW
The Punishment of the Wicked
Those who do not receive eternal life
will PERISH. All may have eternal life if
they will accept Jesus AS THEIR
SAVIOUR FROM SIN, Eze. 18:3-32.
The Punishment of the Wicked
Do you want to enjoy eternal life and be
spared the fate of the wicked?
