What Does Hell Look Like

[Guest man]

I believe that hell is separate from the lake of fire and in the end everything against God will end up in the lake of fire...including hell itself.

Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

I looked right at that too.

There is a difference.

Thanks for pointing that out.

I wasn't aiming my post at you, I was just sharing my beliefs based on what I've gathered out of scripture.

One thing that caught my attention in the past year on this subject, is found in verse 13.

Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

It seems in scripture that there are different 'holding places' which the souls of those lost are held until the final judgment. Different levels of punishment while awaiting final judgment based on the life lived?

The lake of fire is the second death (eternal separation from God) which of course is the final judgment for all who are against God.

These things for the lost cause much sorrow in my heart, but even in judgments, I praise Him that His judgment is righteous and just.

We know that heaven in beyond our imagination, but hell what does that look like for those that might be going there. Every one knows how heaven sounds like , but not hell. people think it's not so bad.

to have an idea of what hell is like, go see if you can go to a house fire or a building fire that is fully engulfed in flames... then go inside.....

it is not like the movies or TV, where there is plenty of light, in the middle of a fire, it is TOTALLY BLACK... NO LIGHT, SO MUCH NOISE IT IS HARD TO EVEN THINK......

the light can not penitrate the fire to reach the middle of it... out side the fire, there is lots of light, and you can see very good, and you can get away from the heat.... but in the fire, even within an area there is no flames, but surrounded by flames, the heat is such you have a hard time breathing, even with the scott air pack.....

the way we trained for fire fighting in Lexington Park Maryland, was we would be fully dressed out, and our face mask would have black construction paper covering the clear shield..... and we would then be placed in a building with obstructions and a hose in our hand, we had only a certain amount of time to find our way out..... even in that environment, we had a very difficult time communicating, and we would be in a line of three people ( a team of three ) attempting to get out before we ran out of air.... the best communication was touch, the leader would be following the hose with both hands, the next person would be following the leader with one hand on the leaders back and one on the hose and the third would be following the second person with one hand on him and one on the hose...... trying to talk to each other, even when there was no real fire, and even thou there was no noise from the fire, was almost impossible, very difficult at best..... also even thou there was no fire, we were soaked, completely soaked from this exercise and it was no where near the temps that would be achieved in an actual fire.....

in an actual fire, the air is putrid, some times you can even smell it with your mask on, there have been times i switched the air valve from demand to continuous in order to keep the mask with positive pressure at all times so that none of the junk, the toxic fumes would be able to penetrate the mask to my face....

then when the air tanks hit their "reserve" a bell goes off and you have an even harder time to hear what is being said (or i should say yelled)......

hell? well, i have given you an idea, of what the outer fringes of hell might be like, not even close to the full blown thing....

people think they will be able to see their buddies, they are dead wrong.... you can not see in the middle of a fire.... and if it is an entire lake of fire, forget it...

hell is not a place i would even want to entertain the idea of even wanting to see it from afar...... i want to completely avoid it with any thing and everything i can muster up......

Hell looks exactly the the principal's office in elementary school. Scared the daylights out of me back then.

What will it feel like? Don't know, but see how long you can hold just your finger over a flame from a candle before the pain becomes unbearable. With the lake of fire...its for eternity.

Ok...That very thought is scary...Think about it...That TERRIBLE pain....FOREVER...never ending...woah. Don't want that. Glad I'm saved!!! :] Thank you Jesus! :]

Yeah somehow I think it's gonna be quite different from the way it's portrayed in cartoons where there is a little fire here and a little fire there and then everyone just walking around normal oh and I'm pretty sure the devil doesn't carry around a fork but you never know.

Seriously though the bible doesn't really go into detail as to what Hell looks like only that it's a place of sorrow beyond our understanding and since nobody that I know of has ever been there and come back to tell the story I'm guessing it's one of those deals where you have to put faith in the Lord's word that it's not a place you want to be.

Standing before Jesus Christ beforehand, and seeing Him in His glory seated on the throne...knowing it was by ones on choice. That is what will be painful, even to the very core of the soul.
