That doesn’t answer my question.  Why do you think the “lake of fire,” seen only in the book of Revelation, is a literal lake of fire?  Were you baptized in a pool of fire?

@Anne2 There's also the expression: the horns of a dilemma (not Biblical, but an interesting expression and insight, even...)

The bottom-line message to me (that I need to be frequently reminded of) is that no mater what we do as mischievous "puppies," just keep coming to Him and get the nourishing supply of His life!  "Desire the pure milk of the word that you may grow thereby." (1 Peter 2:2)

Yes, just like a family. Involved. A church family. Face to face. Each their appointed PART of a local assembly of believers. Thanks Ray...

The same future bad guy Daniel's (Little Horn) Paul's (Man Of Sin) John's (The Beast) will be a future literal human man, a King/Ruler of Jewish/Hebrew descent, he will have a living body that will be cast into the lake of fire Daniel's little horn will be a man that has a physical individual body that will be destroyed and given to the lake of fire at the final judgement, this is in perfect agreement with Revelation 19:20 below Daniel 7:10-11KJV 10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. 11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. The future Man Of Sin will be a human man described by first person pronouns "He" "Himself" who will be destroyed at the second coming 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 & 8-9KJV 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. ---‐----‐---‐‐-- 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, The Beast will be a human man, the number of "A Man" "His Number" Revelation 13:18KJV 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. The Beast will have a physical living body that will be cast alive into the lake of fire with the false prophet Revelation 19:20KJV 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
