The Lake of Fire revealed!

[LittleLambofJesus]

I was going to start a thread on this topic but saw there were a few started awhile back.
This one seemed to be the most interesing one I saw.

Where would this "lake of the fire" shown in Revelation be located?

I would ask the Jews, but they do not read Revelation unfortunately [neither do the Muslims for that matter]

What I found interesting was how close the greek word #3041 for "lake" was to the greek word #3042

Lake mentioned 11 times. 5 times in Luke [Luke 5:1,2 8:22,23,33] 6/5 times in Revelation

Scripture4All - Greek/Hebrew interlinear Bible software

Reve 19:20 and is arrested the Beast and with it the False Prophet, the one doing the signs in view of it, in which has deceived the ones getting the mark of the beast and the ones worshipping to the image of it.
Living were cast the two into the Lake/limnhn <3041> of the Fire of the one burning in sulphur.

Strong's Number G3041 matches the Greek &#955;&#8055;&#956;&#957;&#951; (limn&#275;), which occurs 10 times in 10 verses in the Greek concordance of the KJV

3041. limne lim'-nay probably from 3040 (through the idea of nearness of shore); a pond (large or small):--lake.
3040. limen lee-mane' apparently a primary word; a harbor:--haven. Compare 2568. [Acts 27:8,12]
3042. limos lee-mos' probably from 3007 (through the idea of destitution); a scarcity of food:--dearth, famine, hunger.

Anyone want to take a stab at this?

Sorry that I am of no help when it comes to the revelation.
But I can see how intriguing it can be for others.
Be blessed !

The Lake of Fire burning with Brimstone is spiritual. The symbolism revealed!

Lake symbolizes Water
- Washing of regeneration
- Baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins - Baptised in Water [Lake]
- Being born of water - Rebirth

Fire symbolizes Spirit
- The Renewing of the Holy Spirit
- Baptism of Fire - Salted with Fire
- Being born of Spirit - Rebirth

(John 3:5)
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water [Lake] and the Spirit [Fire] he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

Brimstone symbolizes Purification
- Used in the purification of temples - The greeks burned brimstone to purify their temples of worship
- Consecration - To make Holy unto God
- Being cleansed of sin - Sanctification

(1 Corinthians 3:16)
Don’t you know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

Torment symbolizes Suffering
- Trial by Fire
- Affliction - Way of the Cross
- Being chastised by God - Disiplinary punishment of sinners

(Acts 4:22)
We must through much tribulation [suffering] enter the kingdom of God.

(Hebrews 12:5-7)
My sons, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives. If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

Second Death symbolizes the Death of the Sinful nature
- Dying to Sin [second death] - Releases us from the law of sin and death
- Death of the old man - Crucifying the Flesh
- To pass from death to life - Transformation into spiritual creatures in Christ
- Being redeemed from the power of Death and Hades [grave] - Made incorruptible and Immortal

(Romans 6:6)
For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin because anyone who has died [second death] has been freed from sin.

To be cast into the spiritual Lake of Fire burning with Brimstone is to be baptized of water [Lake] and the Spirit [Fire] consecrating [With Brimstone] the temple of God.

This presentation is one of the most ridiculous presentations available from the texts. It contains so many assumptions, so many uncredible leaps of allegory it is a waste of time to detail them all.

In brief, not ALL FIRE is the same fire. There are fires that destroy and fires that do not. There are fires physical and fires spiritual. There is God as a consuming fire, and ministers as a flame of same. To LUMP all fire as the same does not compute. There are even LESS presentations linking what are merely a couple references of the infamous Lake to any other forms or uses of fire in the scriptures.

Of one purpose that Lake is clear. The power of death and evil will therein be contained forever and ever. There will be nothing coming out from that Lake. No, not one spark or burned cinder will arise. It is a place of total final destruction.

Thank you for your input sunlover and squint!

Another word I found extremely interesting is the greek word #1082 used in Luke 5:1.
[Luke is the only Gospel writer to mention the word "lake".]

If one parses the greek word #1082, the first 5 letters appear to be the same as the greek word Jesus uses in Matt 23:33! More to follow..........

http://www.scripture4all.org/

Luke 5:1 It became yet, in the of the throng to be nearing to Him to be hearing the word of the God, and He was standing beside the Lake/limnhn <3041> Gennesaret/gennh-saret <1082>, [Matt 14:34, Mark 6:53]

Matt 23:33 `Serpents! generation/gennh-mata <1081> of vipers!
How ye may be fleeing from the judging of the geennhV <1067>?

I am afraid tears might drip on my keyboad and mess it up

Apparently, Satan and his demons are going to be water baptised and born again into the kingdom, as are all of the unrepentent sinners and those who reject the Lamb.

Wrong. Dead wrong.

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

Wrong. Dead wrong.

Anyone care to respond to the OP with more than 3 words

It doesnt take more than 3 words to explain why this is simply wrong.

Ok thanks.

No problem.

No problem.

Now do you mind giving those of us here yours and your denomination's view of the LoF? Thanks

I dont need a denominations view of the LOF and neither does anyone else because everything there is to know about it is written in the Holy Bible.

That should be your one and only source, not your denominations view or a mans theology. Nothing but the Holy Bible is needed.

Then why the heck are you posting in this thread.
The OP used the Bible from what I can see
