    Matthew 25

    41 “Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;

    46 These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

    Matthew

    25:46 eternal punishment … eternal life. The same Gr. word is used in both instances. The punishment of the wicked is as never-ending as the bliss of the righteous. The wicked are not given a second chance, nor are they annihilated. The punishment of the wicked dead is described throughout Scripture as

    “eternal fire” (v. 41);

    “unquenchable fire” (3:12);

    “disgrace and everlasting contempt” (Da 12:2);

    a place where “their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched” (Mk 9:44–49);

    a place of “torments” and “flame” (Lk 16:23, 24);

    “eternal destruction” (2Th 1:9);

    a place of torment with “fire and brimstone” where “the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever” (Rev 14:10, 11); and a

    “lake of fire and brimstone” where the wicked are “tormented day and night forever and ever” (Rev 20:10).

    Here Jesus indicates that the punishment itself is everlasting—not merely the smoke and flames. The wicked are forever subject to the fury and the wrath of God. They consciously suffer shame and contempt and the assaults of an accusing conscience—along with the fiery wrath of an offended deity—for all of eternity. Even hell will acknowledge the perfect justice of God (Ps 76:10); those who are there will know that their punishment is just and that they alone are to blame (cf. Dt 32:3–5).
