There are a great many people who claim there is no fire in hell yet Jesus told us about the rich man in the current hell. From Luke 16:23, “And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Then he cried and said,…
Hell was not created, but prepared. The word “prepared” in the Strong’s means “to make ready.” In Matthew 25:41 Jesus said, “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” This is the same word that God used in John…
