Mark 9:43
The fire that never shall be quenched. See PNT "Mt 5:29".
The fires that were occasionally lit in the literal Gehenna, or Tophet,
were necessarily only temporary. They died out for want of fuel. It was
to be otherwise with the "fire" of the other and ulterior Tophet. The
"fire" referred to is, of course, a mere symbol of the sum total of
certain dreadful realities, for which there are no adequate
representations in human language.
