4. Being in the lake of fire will not be a pleasant experience for anyone, even though some of the torment there will be more tolerable for some than for others.

5. A torment which the rich man experiences can also be described as thirst. He begs Lazarus for the drop of water. So non-believers, after their death, experience unquenchable thirst as a part of their torment.

6. In John 4, Jesus offers the living water He says if you drink of the water I offer you, you will never thirst again. Drinking of His water is to believe in Him and He promises that then we will never experience an unquenchable thirst of torment, being separated from Him.

7. Luke 16:24 Then he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

8. In John 4, Jesus offers the living water He says if you drink of the water I offer you, you will never thirst again. Drinking of His water is to believe in Him and He promises that then we will never experience an unquenchable thirst of torment, being separated from Him.

9. 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power .

10. John 4:13-14 Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.

11. In John 4, Jesus offers the living water He says if you drink of the water I offer you, you will never thirst again. Drinking of His water is to believe in Him and He promises that then we will never experience an unquenchable thirst of torment, being separated from Him.

12. 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power .

13. Luke 16:26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.

14. 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

15. While it is true that believers that have died since Christ s resurrection and those that die today go to be present with the Lord in their spiritual state, that isn t the way it will always remain.

16. John 11:25-26 I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?

17. John 11:25-26 I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?

18. Eternity future will be a physical existence.

19. God has always worked with mankind in his human form, and that s because man was created to be in human form, and that s the way it will ultimately end up.

21. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will

22. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

23. John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of
