Burn In Hell, ‘for ever and ever’
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (G165)
If you look at the definitions below, you will see that ‘for ever and ever’ does not mean that the punishing goes on without ceasing. It means the punishing goes on until the end of the age. The end of the age is after THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT when the Millennium is over and ETERNITY BEGINS. The punishment, meaning the effect of the punishing is permanent.

satan’s Death Sentence
Ezekiel 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
As you can see, satan’s death sentence is to be turned to ashes from the inside out in the sight of all them that behold him. When somethings is turned to ashes, it no longer exists. If you read the verses and the appropriate definitions below, you will see that those who do not make it receive the same punishing and effect, which is the punishment. They cease to exist and it is permanent.
Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Matthew 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Matthew 25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Matthew 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Matthew 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Matthew 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Matthew 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Matthew 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
Matthew 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
Matthew 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Matthew 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Matthew 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Matthew 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Note: The Day is The LORD’S Day and the hour HE comes is during the hour of temptation.
Matthew 25:14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
Matthew 25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
Matthew 25:16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
Matthew 25:17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
Matthew 25:18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
Matthew 25:19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
Matthew 25:20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
Note: This is why we invest our Talents to bring those that will listen to the LORD.
Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Matthew 25:22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Matthew 25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not
strawed:
Matthew 25:25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
Matthew 25:26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
Matthew 25:27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
Matthew 25:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
Matthew 25:29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Note: The outer darkness is The LORD’S Day where JESUS will rule with an Iron Rod. The Iron Rod is serious discipline because those that don’t make the first resurrection will have to take on satan at the end of the Millennium by themselves. There is no Grace at that time, it’s all Works. They will not be able to call on the Name of JESUS to overcome satan at that time. If they do not overcome satan, they will go into the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
Matthew 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Matthew 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Matthew 25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Matthew 25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Matthew 25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
Matthew 25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Matthew 25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting ( G166 ) fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Matthew 25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
Matthew 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Matthew 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Matthew 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting G166 punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. G166
Note: Notice that everlasting punishment means until the end of the age, therefore the punishment is done and those that don’t make it no longer exist. But also notice that life eternal means until the end of the age also. The difference is at the end of this age, life eternal starts. That is the start of the third age, and that age never stops. It goes on for eternity (the Millennium is part of this age even though we won’t be in flesh bodies, the next age is the beginning of the Eternity, the third and last age).

Conclusion:
GOD loves HIS children, but HE hates evil. Many of HIS children deserved to be destroyed before they came to the flesh age.
Still, GOD in HIS infinite wisdom and great love destroyed the last age instead of destroying HIS children for the evil that they perpetrated.
If they do not come back to GOD by the time this age is over (including the Millennium), then they will be destroyed.
Keep in mind, though. That GOD is NOT an evil monster that would subject one of HIS children, or any being that HE created to never ending pain.
Especially, consider the thought of a lake with fire and people being subjected to that kind of pain, and it never stops. What kind of FATHER do you think we have? What kind of Heaven, or New Earth would it be, knowing that Hell is right around the corner, or anywhere for that matter?
Two things to keep in mind, first a spirit body is not like a flesh body. Fire as we know it, isn’t going to affect such a body. Second, the proper definition of ‘Hell’ (H7585) is ‘the grave’. GOD loves HIS children, but HE will not allow evil in HIS Kingdom.
Jeremiah 32:35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
The worship of molech is when parents take their children and burn them as a sacrifice to molech.
Some think that people suffering the pain of burning in Hell is something they look forward to when JESUS returns. Maybe they think that GOD condones it, so it’s okay for them to feel that way. I wonder what GOD thinks about their heart? Most, if not all idol worship or false god worship leads back to satan. As you can see from verse Jeremiah 32:35 above, such a thing never entered into GOD’S Mind.
GOD is NOT a monster, but a lot of HIS children are pretty much monsters. In Leviticus, GOD says the people are to kill such a one as would burn children in sacrifice.
Leviticus 20:4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
Leviticus 20:5 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
It’s important to understand GOD’S WORD and know the TRUTH. In the end, evil will be executed. You have seen enough evil in this life, so you have no need to ask why. But if you think that our FATHER would burn someone without ceasing, permanently in pain, then you don’t know GOD at all. You better read HIS Letter and get to know HIM. No wonder JESUS says:
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

H7585
שׁאול שׁאל
she'ôl she'ôl
shehole', shehole'
From H7592; hades or the world of the dead ( as if a subterranian retreat), including its accessories and inmates: grave, hell, pit.
Notice that it says ‘ as if ’ a subterranian retreat. It’s actually just a category of dead people that will cease to exist. That’s because they carry the characteristics (accessories) of like minded people (inmates) whose destination is with he who resides in the pit.
