Matthew 25:41 (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up)
The word "everlasting" is aionion in the Greek. Aionion comes from the root aion which often means "age." In this case, the correct translation into the English language should be "age-lasting fire." This "Lake of Fire" is going to be burning all during the Millennium—the "age" of Christ's rule. During the Millennial reign of Christ and His saints, the Valley of Hinnom will once more be kept perpetually burning—and the incorrigibly wicked ones who set their will to persist in rebellion against God's laws will be thrown into this fire as a stern witness to all the rest of the world (Isaiah 66:24)!
What Is Hell?
