How to Live Today » The Torments of Hell

[this teaching has not yet been illustrated]

All those who lead good lives but did not have the opportunity to hear the gospel during their time on Earth will be lead away along with the wicked. They will be led as captives by Satan to a prison known as Hell where they will be tortured endlessly for a thousand—or many thousands—of years until the time of their Resurrection.

The spirits in Hell are kept in chains and suffer the torments of the damned—the fiery indignation of the wrath of God is poured out on them, and they writhe in the vengeance of eternal fire. They weep and gnash their teeth, kept in a fearful state of misery. None who disobey God in life shall escape the damnation of Hell.
