How does God feel about this Event?
( page 2a )

Ezek 33 (v. 11) ....As I live, says the Lord God, ‘‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, Oh house of Israel?’’
The bible says that, the Lord has no pleasure in the death of the wicked; and all that we have been taught contrary to this is from the lies of the devil!!
II Pet 3 (v. 9) The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
So, is this Hell Fire still burning today?

II Pet 3 (v. 7) But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
(verse 12) ....looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat....
This is future tense, to be started later in the future; Hell fire is not burning right now!!
The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up (2 Peter 3:10). In the day of the Lord, just before the coming of Christ, God will send lightnings from Heaven in His wrath, which will unite with fire in the earth. The mountains will burn like a furnace, and will pour forth terrible streams of lava, destroying gardens and fields, villages and cities; and as they pour their melted ore, rocks and heated mud into the rivers, will cause them to boil like a pot, and send forth massive rocks and scatter their broken fragments upon the land with indescribable violence. Whole rivers will be dried up. The earth will be convulsed, and there will be dreadful eruptions and earthquakes everywhere.[2]
When will this Hell Fire be started?

Matt 13 (v. 36) Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. (v. 37) He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
(verse 38) The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; (v. 39) The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Matt 13 (v. 40) As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (v. 41) The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; (v. 42) And shall cast them into a furnace of fire....
This Hell Fire will be started at the end of this world, when the wicked shall be cast into a furnace of fire.

Is this Hell Fire located underneath the earth like we see on TV or in cartoons?
II Pet 3 (v. 10) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens 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.
The whole earth and sky will be burned up, and also, the works that are in it (everything) will be burned up!! The fire will be located on the surface of the Earth to cleanse it.
What will happen after the Hell Fire goes out?
Image #5
Rev 21 (v. 5) Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new....” (v. 1) Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.
What is destroyed in this Hell fire? Does an invisible "soul" live forever?
Matt 10 (v. 28) And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
The bible says that, both the Soul & Body are destroyed in Hell Fire!!
Will there be anyone who escapes Hell Fire?
Isa 47 (v. 14) Behold, they shall be as stubble, the fire shall burn them; They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame....
Nobody will get away, this Hell Fire will be the end of the wicked, forever!

Is this “Hell Fire” the same as the “Second Death”?
The Second Death.…But fire from God out of heaven is rained upon them, and the great men, and mighty men, the noble, the poor and miserable, are all consumed together. I saw that some were quickly destroyed, while others suffered longer. They were punished according to the deeds done in the body…, and just as long as there was a portion of them unconsumed, all the sense of suffering remained. Said the angel, "The worm of life shall not die; their fire shall not be quenched as long as there is the least particle for it to prey upon."[3]
Now God’s judgments are fair, because people that ended up in Hell Fire, actually knew what they were doing and had every chance to repent.
Rom 1 (v. 18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth.... (v. 19) because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
(verse 20) For since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse....
Image #7
Rom 1 (v. 28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind.... (v. 32) who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death....
Because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them!!
....before the Lord punishes men for their iniquity, he sends them messages of warning. Before he visits them with his judgments, he gives them a chance to repent. He remembered the sins of the Noachian world, but he did not punish them without warning them. For one hundred and twenty years this warning was sounding in their ears; but they did not repent. The last year of their probation found them more stubborn and defiant than ever. "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. . . .”[4]
