REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Forty - The Lake of Fire and Sulfur - Continue

 We have already noted "the lake of fire and sulfur" could not be a literal place of torment.  (Revelation 19:20) If Satan were to suffer excruciating torture there for all eternity, Jehovah would have to preserve him alive. Yet, life is gift, not a punishment. Death is the punishment for sin, and according to the Bible, dead creatures feel no pain. (Romans 6:23;  Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10) Moreover, we read later that death itself, along with  Hades, is cast into this same lake of fire and sulfur. Surely, death and Hades cannot pain! - REVELATION 20:14.
