Eschatology

As a state, Scripture speaks of hell with many words:

• as death (Romans 6:21; 8:6; 8:13; 2 Corinthians 2:14-16),

• as the second death (Revelation 2:11; 20:6; 21:8),

• as eternal ruin (2 Thessalonians 1:9; 1 Tim 6:9),

• as outside darkness (Matthew 8:12; 22:11-13; 25:30),

• as eternal fire (Matthew 18:8, 25:41; Jude 7),

• as eternal punishment (Matthew 25:46),

• as destruction (Mathew 7:13; Philippians 1:28;
Peter 3:7),

• as damnation (Mark 16:16; John 12:25),

• as perishing (John 3:16; 10:27; Romans 2:12),

• as unquenchable fire (Mark 9:42-47; Luke 3:17),

• as fire and sulfur (Revelation 14:9-14),

• as thick gloom of darkness (2 Peter 2:17; Jude 13),

• as corruption (Galatians 6:8),

• as Babylon (Revelation 18; 19:1-3)
