What does the Bible say about the eternal nature of hell?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible consistently describes hell as a place of eternal torment, not temporary punishment.

The nature of hell is explicitly portrayed in Scripture as eternal separation from God and torment. Revelation 20:10 states that the devil will be cast into the lake of fire, where he will be tormented forever and ever, indicating that hell is a permanent condition of suffering. This contrasts sharply with the idea of temporary punishment, which lacks biblical support and undermines the seriousness of rejecting God's grace. Throughout various scriptural references, hell is consistently depicted as a state of eternal judgment for those who reject the gospel—emphasizing the seriousness of human accountability before God.
