Matthew 13:50
Shall cast them into the furnace of fire. Here is repeated, word
for word, the language of Matthew 13:42. The tares, the chaff, the
corrupt trees, the barren tree, are all represented as burned, and here
also the wicked are cast into a furnace. While I suppose that the
language is a figure, it can only be understood as indicating that the
sufferings of Gehenna, the abode of the wicked, are intense. See
Matthew 8:12.
