The Fiery Wrath of God

                                 Genesis 19:24-26 (KJB)

God rained fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah to destroy those wicked people. Because Lot happened to be a man of faith in God, God spared his wife from being burned alive and turned her into a "pillar of salt." Although Lot and two of his daughters later proved to be just as immoral as was the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, God spared their lives because they displayed some modicum of faith in a righteous God. God proved that He has all power over all sin and evil for those who have some faith in Him. Habakkuk 2:4 (KJB).

Whenever the Bible states that God used His fiery wrath to destroy evil humans, He only destroys their bodies. He relates nothing about what happens to their souls and spirits. When God used His fiery wrath to destroy 250 men who rebelled against Moses, He opened up the earth which swallowed their bodies and, supposedly, their souls and spirits as well. Numbers 16:28-35 (KJB). When God used His fiery wrath to consume two sets of fifty soldiers who came to arrest Elijah, He destroyed their bodies, but one can assume that He also sent their souls and spirits to a burning Hell. II Kings 1:3-12 (KJB).

God created the lake of fire for the Devil and his angels; that is, only for evil itself. Matthew 25:41 (KJB). But all humans possess a good nature created by God and an evil nature injected into them by the Devil. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15; Matthew 13:36-43 (KJB). The burning Hell already existed when God created the eternal lake of fire. Deuteronomy 32:22 (KJB). So why would God consign the evil souls and spirits of humans to a burning Hell only to dump that Hell and all the evil souls and spirits within it to an eternal lake of fire in the end of the world, which would be just another form of a burning Hell? That does not make much sense. Why would God not just send their evil souls and spirits to the lake of fire to begin with?

The only possible answer must be that when evil humans die, God consigns their subdued good and living natures within them to a burning Hell to punish them for allowing evil to dominate their good and living natures. But God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). This fact can only mean that in the end of the world, God will send His Son to the burning Hell, and He will cause all of His good and living natures of all humans consigned there to repent and return to faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14; I Corinthians 3:11-15 (KJB). Christ will then use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to separate their repentant, living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can recreate their living natures to an eternal life on His recreated earth, and He will consign their dead and evil natures injected into them by the Devil to the eternal lake of fire. Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15; Matthew 13:36-43; Matthew 25:31-46; I Corinthians 3:11-15; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). The Bible clearly teaches that God will cast only dead and evil humans into the eternal lake of fire, and He will raise all of His repentant, living humans back to life. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-5; John 5:28-29; Revelation 22:11-12; II Timothy 1:10; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). God will utterly destroy all evil, and only evil, in His eternal lake of fire.
