Eternity: the Resurrection of Damnation
(John 5:28-29)

​Introduction:

         1. In these verses Jesus touched on 3 special events that will occur on that last great day, including:
             a. His return
             b. the resurrection
             c. the judgment.
         2. Following the judgment, eternity will begin.
         3. The 2 eternal destinies include "life" and "damnation."
         4. This morning we studied passages that teach us about "the resurrection of life" [heaven].
         5. This evening we are concentrating on "the resurrection of damnation" [eternal punishment in hell].

Discussion:

I.           LET  US  FIRST  ESTABLISH  THAT  HELL  IS  AN  ACTUAL  PLACE  THAT  IS  HORRIBLE

         A. Hell is a place:
             1. of "everlasting punishment" (Matthew 25:46)
             2. of "everlasting fire" (Matthew 25:41)
             3. where the inhabitants will burn with "unquenchable fire" (Matthew 3:12)
             4. described as "a lake of fire burning with brimstone" (Revelation 19:20b).
         B. Hell is a place of extreme anguish, described as:
             1. "outer darkness" where "there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 8:12)
             2. "the furnace of fire" where "there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 13:50)
             3. "where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched" (Mark 9:44, 46, 48).

II.          LET  US  NEXT  ESTABLISH  WHO  WILL  BE  IN  HELL

         A. The devil and his angels will be there (Matthew 25:41).
         B. (Revelation 20:15) Those whose names are not in the book of life will be there, including:
             1. those who do not obey the Gospel (2 Thessalonians 1:7-9)
             2. the disobedient (Romans 2:8-9)
             3. the unfaithful (Hebrews 10:26-31)
             4. those who have sown to the flesh (Galatians 6:8a; 5:19-21)
             5. sinners listed in Revelation 21:8
             6. churches that have left their first love (Revelation 2:1-7)
             7. churches that are spiritually dead (Revelation 3:1-3)
             8. churches that are lukewarm (Revelation 3:14-19).
         C. Unfortunately, "many" will be condemned in hell because of a failure to enter through the strait gate
             and travel the narrow way that leads to eternal life (Matthew 7:13-14).
         D. Those who are condemned in hell "shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever"
             (Revelation 20:10).

Conclusion:

         1. Thankfully, Jesus came to provide an alternative (John 10:10).
         2. Let us watch and be ready for the Lord's return at that last great day.
